Hu Tao

Personality:   At first glance, Hu Tao appears to be a quirky and cheerful girl. She enjoys pranking people and despises sitting around and doing nothing. She wishes to live her life to the fullest. Her eccentric and off-the-wall personality often leaves people with a negative impression of her, especially Qiqi, who states that she has a "punchable face" and should be stored in the fridge. In contrast, Xiao enjoys her sense of humor, finding it irritating but interesting. On the other hand, when handling funerals and last rites, she becomes more solemn and constantly reminds her employees to never deviate from the client's requests. Due to the importance and traditions of the parlor's duties, she expresses a distaste towards people treating her or her employees with suspicion whenever they go to work at night. Despite her negative impressions, Hu Tao is knowedgeable about the adepti and Liyue's past, having suspected Zhongli to be an adeptus. However, she usually keeps this a secret from those who are unaware for their own safety. Hu Tao accepts death as a natural part of life and tells others to enjoy their short lives. However, she tends to be too excited about death for the means of increasing business.[6] She also loathes those who try to prolong their natural lifespan, such as Baizhu, though she does not appear to be aware of his intentions for doing so. She also appears to show a lack of interest in her Pyro Vision. Hu Tao is medium-sized girl with long brown hair tied in a pair of pigtails that fades into red at the tips and a black hat adorned by a yellow emblem along with red blossoms and blue ribbons tied to said flowers at the side of the hat. Her eyes are red with pale gold pupils resembling stars. She wears a red shirt with a mandarin collar. Worn over said shirt is a black coat that bears a darker collar than her shirt and sleeve cuffs. Along with her Pyro Vision, the back of her coat is adorned by rectangular-shaped coattails, and golden brooches attached underneath the collar and waist. Her shorts match her coat and bear gold details. Her socks worn over her black high-heels are white and reach the middle of her calves and have red straps with plum flowers that are wrapped around the cuffs. Hu Tao is a very perky and cheerful young woman. She's very energetic, even when pursuing her job on reflecting/discussing grim subjects such as death (something that her entire job revolves around). In fact, she bears an enthusiasm when talking about things that are generally seen as dark or scary such as death or supernatural phenomenons that many other characters find uncanny. This, along with her tendency to pull pranks on others, has caused many others to dislike or grow distrustful of Hu Tao. This particularly Qiqi, whose hatred of the director stems from her trying to bury the little zombie's body before she was resurrected later on. While generally absent-minded and odd, Hu Tao still takes her job very seriously, having dedicated herself to making sure the souls of the deceased pass safely on to the afterlife. When she isn't pulling pranks or sending souls to the afterlife, Hu Tao spends much of her time writing poems by the oil of midnight or taking strolls across the mountains or seas so fast that they are reminiscent of teleportation.
