You can answer 'What is she like?' with 'She is pretty' You can also describe her character, e.g.: "she's pretty and she is very kind..." 'How is she like' is not grammatically correct.

The first is not a valid question, it is not used in English. The second one is good but it is a question asking for general information such as appearance and personality. 'What does she look like?' is the question you want to ask specifically about appearance. Then you would expect to get 'She is pretty' as an answer.
