The new 1.3 update for Genshin Impact is already here, officially releasing Xiao as a playable character, giving travellers the ability to exorcise any demon that decides to test the mighty Yaksha. But even though Xiao’s arrival took the community to the skies, the absence of the rumoured HuTao in the new version threw cold water in many who were ready to invest in the character. 

But as some players already found out, even though the new character wasn’t officially revealed, her name card is already available in the game.

But Who Is Hu Tao? 

Little is know about her since she still hasn’t made her first appearance in-game, but Hu Tao is the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, know in all of Lyrue for her pranks and joyful personality, as well as her bizarre ideas. She is also mentioned a few times through the story, mainly by Zhongli, who is a counselor for the Parlor, and by Qiqi, on her character page, since the girl is always trying to bury her.
