Figure
Shape, Form
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you to remember: What's that figure / shape in the distance? Is that who I think it is? Is that Sugar Tom (すがた)??? You'll have to make up some lore about this "Sugar Tom" but whatever you do be excited about him. He's a dude who gives you tons of sugar, I'm guessing, and you always see him coming from a long ways away because of his Sugar Tom hat, or something like that.
アイツは、人間の姿をしたバンパイアで、夜になるとコウモリに姿を変えるんだ。

彼が私に微笑みかけている姿が頭に焼きついて離れない。
