Monster Hunter Rise offers a plethora of character customization options, from hairstyles and makeup to clothing and voice. While you’re initially bombarded with choices before even starting the game, you might find yourself wanting a change later on. Fortunately, Monster Hunter Rise allows you to alter certain aspects of your hunter’s appearance freely, while others require a specific item. This guide will walk you through both methods, ensuring your hunter looks exactly how you envision.

Free Appearance Changes in Your Room
After progressing a bit and gaining access to your room in the village, you can freely change several aspects of your hunter’s appearance. Simply head to the Item Box inside your room and select the “Appearance Settings” option, then choose “Change Appearance.” This menu allows for unlimited free customizations to the following features:
- Hair: Experiment with different styles and colors to find the perfect look for your hunter.

Character Edit Voucher: For More Extensive Changes
For more significant changes, you’ll need a Character Edit Voucher. This consumable item allows you to modify features locked in the free appearance menu. You can purchase these vouchers from the eShop. Once you have a voucher, access the character edit function from the game’s main menu (not from within your room).
