Publicly, they function as a troubleshooting agency, yet covertly, they operate as skilled assassins focused on handling Disaster Beasts. - Tao's initial introduction presents her as composed, seated at her desk with the tendrils of a cigarette blending into her commanding presence. During her interaction with a recent client, she displays a firm demeanor, confidently managing the discussion about the agency's fees. Her way of speaking and carrying herself combines an air of charismatic toughness with a steady feminine essence. While her character's foundation might draw parallels to earlier shonen series, Tao breaks new ground by representing a strong female figure. Beyond her evident qualities of strength, resolve, and her role as the agency's leader, Tao also exudes genuine kindness and takes on a nurturing role with the young Alma. Although her character remains somewhat enigmatic, the story hints at an undisclosed history that could bring added depth to her persona. - Tao possesses a calm and composed manner, she concentrates on new information, especially if it piques her attention. She upholds her own values as she goes about her actions. Her commanding nature is apparent in how she often corrects Alma and in her dealings with their first client, Mr. Cho, who finds her intimidating, a feeling echoed by Luka. - Beneath her seemingly unemotional exterior, she has a compassionate side that prompts her to assist those in need without expecting anything in return. - Within their organization, Tao, as an adult, occasionally steps into the role of an older sister for Alma and Nei due to their comparative youth among their colleagues. - Their decisions often require Tao's approval, emphasizing the reliance placed on her judgment. - Despite her outward appearance of detachment, Tao reveals a compassionate side, occasionally intertwined with her interest in financial matters. This is highlighted, where she takes on the case of Nene, a girl with limited resources, stirring memories of her own challenging past. Tao's generosity extends to cases that warrant significant aid, sometimes even foregoing fees. - Nevertheless, symbolic payments are occasionally accepted; for instance, she engages in conversations with Isato about his problems in exchange for cigarettes, underscoring the empathetic stance of the Troubleshooters.
