Hu Tao Figure
Hu Tao can make an offer of funeral services sound like an invitation nobody was expecting. Liyue’s seventy-seventh director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor enjoys a joke, even when her profession makes everyone else uncomfortable. When a farewell actually needs arranging, she treats the work with care.
Hu Tao figures draw on that combination of mischief and responsibility. Her flowered hat, long coat and association with a small ghost belong to a character who is familiar with death without finding that a reason to stop enjoying life in Genshin Impact.

APEX Happy Shake Hu Tao

A light touch sets the spring-mounted design moving. Choose it for that bobbing motion and cheerful face; it does not provide interchangeable combat poses like an articulated action figure.
Story and character
The director behind the sales pitch
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has a long history in Liyue, and Hu Tao inherits responsibility for its rites. Her manner can make that responsibility easy to underestimate. An unexpected promotion or an irreverent remark is usually what people notice first.
The distinction appears in how she approaches the work itself. Giving the dead a proper farewell matters to her, as does helping the living understand what they are doing. Her familiarity with the subject allows a lightness that people with less experience may find unsettling.
She does not need to become a different person when she takes a ceremony seriously. The humor and the attention to a farewell grow from the same acceptance that death is part of the life around her.
The grandfather she could not find
After arranging her grandfather’s funeral, the young Hu Tao goes looking for him near the boundary where souls may linger. She expects the importance of their bond to give her a reason to find him there.
His absence eventually gives her a different answer. He has no unfinished regrets keeping him from moving on. Understanding that helps Hu Tao accept a farewell without treating it as a failure of love or remembrance.
This experience gives her confidence about a subject other people approach with fear. It also explains why keeping someone near is not always the kindness it first appears to be. Her work includes recognizing when a departure has already been completed.
A farewell for the friends left behind
Her story quest brings the Traveler into Meng’s fear that a dead friend is still connected to him. Hu Tao pays attention to the history shared by the surviving friends and the regret left within it. Bringing them together gives the farewell a purpose for the living as well.
The quest makes her unusual profession easier to understand through a specific group of people. A funeral is not simply the business opportunity behind her teasing sales talk. It is a way to acknowledge a relationship and help those who remain continue with their lives.
Her playful appearances retain that background. A smile, a prank or the little spirit associated with her can recall the ease with which she moves around a subject that unsettles others. The effect comes from knowing how seriously she takes a farewell when it matters.
The jokes are what people notice first, but Hu Tao’s story quest shows the trust her work requires. A family that needs a farewell is relying on the director behind the sales pitch to understand what matters to them.
