Name: Hu Tao Rarity: ★5 Region/Affiliation: Liyue / Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Race: Human Weapon: Polearm Vision (Element): Pyro Birthday: July 15th Constellation: Papilio Charontis Special Dish: Ghostly March (Vegetarian Abalone) A young girl who serves as the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue. She is always smiling and never puts on airs despite her position. She runs around like a wild horse, constantly teasing and surprising people just to enjoy their reactions. However, as the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she takes immense pride in her work. She strives to ensure that both the living and the dead are fully satisfied, all while maintaining the parlor's profitability. Once she accepts a request, she has a firm conviction to see it through to the end no matter what. If anyone is tactless enough to interfere with a funeral, she won't hesitate to use force, even against the Fatui. While the elders of the parlor frown at her usual eccentricities, they are filled with admiration when she displays her solemn and dignified side during a ceremony. It is largely thanks to her efforts that the negative stigma surrounding funerals in Liyue Harbor is beginning to fade. She is a certified genius and an eccentric, with an endless list of bizarre behaviors. Whether it's wandering through forests and mountains at night, naming the two stone lions at the Ministry of Civil Affairs "Meow-one" and "Meow-two," or playing games meant for four people by herself, her actions are often incomprehensible to ordinary people. She has a talent for poetry that even Xingqiu acknowledges. Her "Hilitune" in particular has become synonymous with her character, both in-world and among players. Due to her bright yet bizarre behavior and her high-pressure sales style—which seems mismatched with her profession—many in Liyue view her as a strange individual. However, as evidenced by how she obtained her Vision, she is at heart a kind-hearted girl who truly understands the human soul. She is deeply trusted by the friends and subordinates who understand her. Her charm lies in her duality, capable of being both comedic and serious. She loves "Boiled Fish" and "Crystal Shrimp Dumplings," which are the specialties of her friends Xiangling and Xingqiu. She dislikes a dish made of "Qingxin and Slime Condensate," which she was likely forced to eat by Xiangling. When mentioning it, she wonders if it was revenge, showing she is aware of her own mischief. Their interactions in events suggest a very close friendship.
