Character: Hu Tao
Canon: Genshin Impact; Post Lantern Rite 2.4
Age: Between 16-18
Background Information: Hu Tao Wiki!
Personality:
Hu Tao is a strange one. On the one hand, she is never one to follow what is considered traditional and yet, tries her best to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather. She is someone who likes to talk of death regardless of how taboo it is but respects how burials are to be performed.
One thing one would notice right away is how cheerful Hu Tao is despite her occupation. While she is a funeral director, she has no problem making jokes or trying her best to make someone smile. This was shown as the first thing she did when meeting the traveler was to greet them with a smile as she remarked to one of her employees that they weren’t ghosts. If anything, she simply joked how they were just future clients of hers. This is further shown when Zhongli said how he couldn’t stand her simply because of how annoyingly joyful she was. As cheerful as she is, she has no problem making jokes about death. Despite it being a taboo in Liyue, she believes that it shouldn’t be.
It has led her to be the weirdo in her town as she keeps referring to people as her future ‘clients’ as everyone will eventually die. To further emphasize how weird she is, she is known to walk down the streets of Liyue in the middle of the night simply to sing or to make poetry. She also has no problem with calling two lion statues as her pets much to the confusion of the people. Hu Tao is also weird in the sense that she likes to tease people frequently. Again, she has no problem telling the traveler how one of her employees is scared of his own shadow since he is working with the death. Or how she became fast friends with Venti simply because of how they like to tease Zhongli and how they banter a lot. This is also proven when she and Xingqiu like to have poetry battles as playful banter as well.
Due to how optimistic she could be, this could potentially lead her to be oblivious to the people around her. While she could read people, there are times when her actions could accidentally bother some. For instance, she has a business and will do whatever it takes to make sure it keeps going. So much so that people had called the military on her to stop bothering people about selling coffins. She meant no ill harm but she could be overly confident in her abilities as she is trying to keep her business going. However, in her mind, she simply wants to live her life with no regrets.
Despite how nontraditional she is, she fully heartedly follows in her family’s business as family means everything to her. In her character quest, she proudly tells the traveler of how her ancestors used to be doctors before they became funeral directors. Not only that, it has been stated that Hu Tao was very close to her grandfather. After he died, she went out of her way to see his ghost one last time as a final goodbye. Once she realized that he left without any regrets, she had an epiphany and realized how she should do the same. Additionally, despite how she jokes about death, she takes her job seriously. She will go out of her way to customize funerals just for a specific person as she believes that each person should get their own personal sendoff.
Overall, Hu Tao is an oddball compared to the traditionalist values of Liyue. Despite not following their rules, Hu Tao wants to live her life the way she wants to. She knows that everyone will die and it’s best to have a little fun before she dies.

Abilities: Hu Tao Talent List
Hu Tao's element is pyro, which means most of her power is fire based. Additionally, since she fights with a polearm, a lot of her attacks are wide. She also has the ability to phase through her enemies whenever she runs. When Hu Tao enters her Paramita Papilio state, that means her health powers drop to 50% in order to deal greater damage to her enemies. However, she can regain her HP whenever she hits an enemy during that state.
Also, she has the ability to make two different dishes. One is normal and the other is "Suspicious". Regardless, they both still have the same ability to help heal people.
Suitability & Plans: I think given Hu Tao’s creativity, she could generate a lot of crazy things with dreamotion and run wild with it. She did manage to create a ghost with her burst energy somehow…
Since she has no problem being weird, she could think of interesting things. Not only that, my plans for her are to generate as much CR as she can. She is often labeled as ‘weird’ since she’s not really traditional for Liyue and doesn’t have a lot of friends. Being a place with others that might understand her off brand personality.
