At first glance, Hu Tao appears to be a quirky and cheerful girl.

She enjoys pranking people and despises sitting around and doing nothing,

as 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.

She also suspects that Zhongli is an adeptus based on his demeanour.

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 is particularly eccentric about this in trying to bring as much death as possible for the sake of the parlor's success.

⠀⠀She also loathes those who try to prolong their natural lifespan, such as Baizhu.

She also appears to show a lack of interest in her Pyro Vision.

Hu Tao has a fair complexion and a petite build. Her eyes are a bright scarlet with white, blossom-shaped pupils, faded red makeup painted at the corners. She has extensively long dark brown hair fading to crimson at the tips. Her hair is styled into two high twintails parted with a zig-zag pattern. Her bangs are side-swept to her left, the layers framing her face curled inwards and the layers behind curled outwards, two shoulder-length locks of hair in front of her ears left loose. She wears a black porkpie hat emblazoned with a wooden talisman, adorned with a red plum blossom branch in bloom, along with an indigo tassel tied in a looped knot.

Hu Tao wears a traditional red shirt with a mandarin collar,

⠀a black coat with a darker collar and sleeve cuffs, and black shorts with gold accents.

Her Pyro Vision is embedded at the back of her coat,

along with long rectangular coattails, and golden brooches attached underneath her coat's collar and waist.

She wears a pair of mid-calf length white socks, red straps with plum blossoms wrapped around the cuffs,

⠀along with low-heeled black dress shoes.

Her fingernails are painted black, and she wears multiple rings.

Her left hand has rings on the index and middle,

while her right has the middle, index, and thumb.

She wears a loose red bracelet on her right hand, though her long sleeves usually hide it.

Her outfit, Plum Blossom Bouquet,

is described to be the daily work clothes of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's director.
