Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean male who had white hair, yellow eyes, light skin, and a height of 1.98 meters (6 feet, 6 inches). In his younger years, he had brown hair. He was a logical and methodical Jedi Master who was well-known for his wisdom, his noble thinking, and his courage. Like other Cereans, he was highly intelligent due to his binary brain, which allowed him to observe both sides of a situation simultaneously. His wise way of thinking made him an excellent strategist. When Jedi Masters needed advice, they often sought Mundi's opinion.
While Mundi established a good working relationship with Jedi Master Yarael Poof, he often found his colleague's sense of humor irritating. In Mundi's opinion, the adventurous natures of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano were unusual. During the second battle of Geonosis, Mundi stated to Wullf Yularen "there is no such thing as luck," showing he strongly believed that success was a matter of effort and preparation. However, he didn't reject the concept entirely, as he later told his troops they needed "some luck" to reach the landing zone on Geonosis. Like his fellow Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, he was disturbed by Skywalker's brutal interrogation methods on Poggle the Lesser shortly after Poggle's capture during the Second Battle of Geonosis. Mundi had a friendly rapport with fellow Jedi Master Yarael Poof, who contrasted Mundi's stoic nature with a more humorous disposition. Despite this rapport, Mundi found Poof's demeanor unbefitting of a member of the Jedi High Council. However, Mundi himself was open to lightheartedness even in dire situations, willing to participate in the game with Anakin Skywalker to see who was able to destroy more battle droids during the second battle on Geonosis.
Mundi was one of the more conservative members of the Jedi Council. Due to his strict adherence to logic, Mundi had a tendency to refute unlikely events, and though he was a contemplative master, he had a weakness for jumping to favored conclusions. He refused to believe the galaxy could change as quickly as it did during the Republic's chaotic final years; for example, he doubted Qui-Gon Jinn's revelation that the Sith had returned, arguing that such a notion was "impossible" because they had been widely believed to be extinct for a millennium. He was also dubious about Count Dooku's possible involvement in an assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala, believing he was incapable of violence or murder because of his Jedi past. When Yoda talked to Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit, Mundi was skeptical, pointing out the fact that a person, once becoming one with the Cosmic Force upon death, lost their individuality. When Ahsoka Tano was framed for treason, the evidence against her, as well as the wish to keep the relationship between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Senate undamaged, led Mundi and the Council to expel Tano from the Order and turn her over to the Republic military. However, after her innocence was proven and the real traitor apprehended, Mundi joined his colleagues in offering to reinstate Tano into the Order, praising her efforts to prove her innocence and stating that she had shown the "true sign of a Jedi Knight." He was aghast when she instead chose to walk away from the Order. Mundi was the only Jedi who called attention to the powerful bond between Master Yoda and Count Dooku, theorizing that the Sith would try and take advantage of that, a suspicion which turned out to be correct.
By the time he had reached the position of Jedi Master, Mundi used a lightsaber with two kyber crystals—which allowed it to shine either a blue and green blade when activated—and was an expert in its use, possessing at least some skill with Makashi.
Mundi also had extremely fast reflexes which allowed him to react in time to defend himself for a short while after his clone troopers attacked him after the enactment of Order 66. While he was ultimately killed in the encounter, Mundi was able to deflect several shots and kill one of his troopers before they killed him. Nonetheless, Dok-Ondar would remember Mundi as a great lightsaber wielder. Mundi was also known for his exceptional agility, armed and unarmed combat skills and meditation.
Mundi was an expert in lightsaber combat with his blue-bladed lightsaber. His weapon would go onto outlive him, standing as a symbol of power in the face of every-changing galactic politics. As a Jedi of the High Republic Era, Mundi wore a set of white Temple robes with a lighter synthleather belt, preferring the longer cut of temple tabards. Into the late Republic Era, however, Mundi solely wore a set of brown robes, even within the Jedi Temple, much like his contemporaries did by that time.
