==Appearance== She is brown-skinned and has straight black hair.<ref>“Ground rules are a good idea,” Carrie said. She had an oval face and olive skin, with straight black hair and a knee-length black dress she wore for her costume. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/05/interlude-17-x-sundown/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.x]]</ref> Caryatid wore a narrow dark gray dress, with yellow 'explosions' of ruffles around the bottom of the dress and her sleeves. She wore black gloves, as well as a ski mask which covered the lower half of her face, leaving her eyes and hair exposed. Caryatid also wore yellow-orange makeup around her eyes.<ref>The oldest or tallest member of the group was a girl with a dress-like costume that hugged her body, extending all the way to the ground. I’d come across some of the individual pieces of clothing she’d used to put her costume together in my browsing of stores and magazines- and they weren’t clothes I would’ve looked at and thought ‘costume’. A dress in charcoal gray that hugged the body and legs down to a taper at the ankles, exploding into a poof of rolling yellow fabric around the feet. She might have bought two of the dresses, because the same ruffles had been borrowed from elsewhere to form the voluminous sleeves with their own yellow explosions of fabric. Her hands poked through those explosions, clad in black gloves.<br/><br/>The dress was worn over a turtleneck, which went with a ski mask that covered eye sockets, nose, ears, and chin. In effect, fabric covered her from just below her eye level to the ground. Yellow-orange eye makeup, bold slashes of black for the eyebrows and nicely done black hair completed the look. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/28/beacon-8-8/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.8]]</ref> When switching into one of her Breaker states, Caryatid's costume and hair flowed and swirled around her, while her face appeared to 'unfold,' resembling pages or wings; her face then folded into a telescoping structure around her head, while the rest of her body froze.<ref name=8.8eP>She slid a couple of feet to one side, looked around to make sure the coast was clear, and then swept one arm in front of her, bowing slightly. The change was subtle- the lines of her dress became a flow, the parts that clung to her rotated, and the rolls of yellow fabric at the sleeve and around the feet began rising and falling, crashing out around her like waves. Her hair did much the same, rolling, flowing, taking on motion.<br/><br/>Her face was the biggest change- it looked like butterfly wings, endlessly unfolding, like a multifacted book with pages constantly turning, merging into hairline and the flow of rolls, locks, and loops of hair.<br/><br/>The movement that defined every inch of her slowed, then creaked to a halt. Waves and loops became hard crags, with faint sounds like stones scraping against one another. Instead of the pages or wings of her face unfolding, they began folding like origami or a glacier, a construction forming around her head, first around the eyes, telescoping, then moving away from the eyes to the ears, with a kind of conscious focus. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/28 Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.8]]</ref>
