Genshin Impact Fandub Round #2: Liyue Characters
thesleepingswirls for [Awaiting Alii] Hu Tao

The 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. She took over the business at a rather young age.
Hu Tao is the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a person vital to managing Liyue's funerary affairs. She does her utmost to flawlessly carry out a person's last rites and preserve the world's balance of yin and yang. Aside from this, she is also a talented poet whose many "masterpieces" have passed around Liyue's populace by word of mouth.
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.
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, and shows a lack of interest in her Pyro Vision.
Voice: Would love to voice match either her English(Brianna Knickerbocker) or Korean(Kim Ha-ru) voices (mostly English)

We are entrusted by the people to loyally see out their wishes. Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is special, in that it carries a dual responsibility, to those both of this realm, and the next.
[Disappointed] *sigh* What a bummer...
[Excitedly telling a joke] Hu as in "Who put me in this coffin?" and Tao as in "I can't geT OUt!" Hehe... [Realizing no one is laughing] No, not funny?
