Reynie is described as being "average" and thus has a typical appearance of a dark haired boy with "average" features. He is usually wearing a sweater vest, shorts and high socks with plain shoes.
In season two, his outfit changes to a multicolor sweater vest, white undershirt, and a dark grey jacket. He wears brown corduroy pants and dark slip on shoes.

Trivia[]
- Each of the four children feature a dominant color of some kind. For Reynie, it is the color green.
- Reynie sticks relatively close to his novel counterpart. Out of all the characters, he is the least developed. This is somewhat joked about within the series when he tells the other children that he will tell a joke to Dr. Curtain, only to be told by the other children that he is not funny.
- His name, Reynard, is taken from the French name Renard, which means Fox. This could be a reference to his intellect.
- Ms. Perumal teaches Reynie how to speak Tamil. Mystic Inscho, Reynie's portrayer, not only can speak Tamil in real life, he can also speak Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Cantonese. Additionally, Inscho shares his character's knack for being a prodigy as he is a fast memorizer and attends college courses at a young age.
