Hello Laura grin

I think you are asking about how to describe someone: either in terms of their physical features or their characteristics. The same phrase is used for/to ask about both descriptions. The same verb ser is used to talk about charcteristics: either physical features or personality.

Pregunta ¿Cómo es ella? = What is she like? ¿Cómo eres = What are you like?

Contesta: Ella es alta, bonita y tiene un buen sentido de humor = She is tall, pretty and has a good sense of humour.

This question applies to asking someone about themselves but does not refer to the current idiom in English that is infact a rhetorical question you would say when someone does something a little silly: ''What are you like!'' but is as much a statement as a question so I have used the exclamation mark instead of a question mark! You would say:¡Hay que ver cómo eres! = What are you like!

I hope this helps grin

informal: ¿Qué tipo de chica es? or ¿Qué tipo de mujer es?

¿Cómo es ella? And your title "Who do you day" should read "How do you say" Welcome to the forum.
