Ephraim is small, slender, and sharp in the nose with tall, thin ears and a longer-than-average tail. His coat is buttercream with bright white undersides and legs. The back of his neck is also swathed in white. He wears an emblematic dark cocoa face mask that betrays his heritage to those familiar with it. The fur of his tail and that surrounding the white of his chest and legs is a mix of cocoa brown and russet and there is a short V-shaped saddle between his shoulders of the same colour. His most distinctive marking is an untidy white streak reaching from each armpit to his back, where they join to form a point.
