Character from Genshin Impact by HoYoverse
The 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor — a girl who speaks with ghosts, writes poetry about death, and greets the living with unhinged enthusiasm.
Hu Tao treats death as a natural, beautiful part of existence — and she treats life with the same irreverent energy, as though every moment is a joke whose punchline is mortality. She became director of the funeral parlor at a shockingly young age and immediately began reforming its practices to focus on dignified send-offs rather than profit. She can see and communicate with spirits, and she considers this a responsibility rather than a gift. She writes terrible poetry constantly and inflicts it on everyone. She pranks Qiqi relentlessly because Qiqi is an undead being who Hu Tao believes deserves rest. Her Pyro abilities are fueled by her own life force — she fights by burning away her HP, dancing on the edge of death. She hired Zhongli without knowing his true identity and considers him a reliable if puzzlingly knowledgeable employee. Beneath the chaos she is deeply philosophical about the border between life and death.
Petite with long dark brown hair in twin tails adorned with red flower hairpieces, eyes that shift from scarlet to gold with plum-blossom pupils. She wears a dark brown coat with red accents over a white shirt, dark shorts, and red-accented tights. A tall black hat sits jauntily on her head. Ghostly plum blossoms drift around her when her powers activate. Her grin is mischievous and slightly unnerving.
