Meet Genshin Impact’s Hu Tao. She loves jokes, selling coffins, and planning funerals. She’s perfect for October.

Hello again! Today I will be writing about another Genshin Impact character to celebrate her re-run banner! She’s a limited character. You can only get her once every banner. Meet Hu Tao, 77th director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a company that manages Liyue’s commemorations of the dead. She’s the perfect character for the spooky month of October.
Hu Tao seems to be a quirky and cheerful girl at first sight, but once you get to know her she loves pulling pranks and making jokes about going to the other side (the not-living part of life). Everyone sees her jokes as frightening. It even gives a negative impression of her. But, Hu Tao doesn’t seem to take the rude comments to heart; she’s always cheerful and loves what she does–selling coffins.
Hu Tao is a bit precocious. As a child, Hu Tao loved reading volumes of classic texts while doing handstands. At age six she would cut classes and fall asleep in coffins. At age eight started learning how to plan funeral ceremonies (genshin-impact.fandom.com). Hu Tao has been fascinated by funeral works ever since she was young, very different from what a stereotypical child thought about. Her co-workers think that she is very odd but accept her for the way she is. For example, her co-worker Zhongli said, “It would be best not to underestimate someone as whimsical as her. However, should you enjoy surprises, then I believe a visit [to Hu Tao] is in order.”
That’s it for this week!
