Tao Fa was a member of Lord Tensen, as well as one of the rulers of Kotaku. She wore the title of Sagacious Ratana Taisei as part of a façade to maintain control over the Hōko. Tao Fa had golden eyes, eyelashes and short, pink hair that took the shape of flower petals, which formed a flower at the top of her head. She wore a pink hanfu with two ribbons, a black robe underneath, a beaded necklace with a golden peach amulet, a white hakama tied with a yellow obi, and black boots. Underneath her layer of clothing, Tao Fa wore a silk bikini top and skirt. In her and Ju Fa's Kishikai state, their bodies melded together to create a large, bulb shaped body, resembling somewhat like a heart, formed from their Yin and Yang bodies, with unusually shaped petals acting as feathers/wings, and vines protruding from the bottom as tails. The head of the Kishikai possessed four faces, two from the right being Tao Fa's Yin and Yang faces while the left being Ju Fa's. Upon switching to their defensive form, the body releases multiple spore vines and their faces switch places. According to Fuchi, he felt that their Kishikai was the embodiment of "love". Tao Fa was very cheerful and always seemed to be in a good mood. Unlike the other members of Lord Tensen, Tao Fa was rather friendly towards humans, or at least ones that were willing to cooperate with Lord Tensen's plans such as Chōbē. However, she still carried the same view of using them as tools to create Tan and showed no signs of sympathy towards them. Because she specialized in Bōchū Jutsu, Tao Fa was quite vulgar and often liked to flirt with others. After meeting with Chōbē and Tōma for the first time, Tao Fa asked if they wanted to join her and Ju Fa in Bōchū Jutsu and offered herself to Fuchi, despite him being her enemy, seductively stating that she was willing to show him anything he wanted to see, whether it was her organs that Fuchi was only interested in. She also had a preference as to who she found attractive. During their encounter, Tao Fa took a liking to Fuchi because she thought that he looked cute, while brushing off Gantetsusai because of his old age and felt disgusted when he expressed his perverted behavior towards her body. Although she always presented herself in a cheerful manner, Tao Fa admitted that her reason for acting like this was due to the fact that she was trying to hold back her emotional frustrations of Lord Tensen's 1,000 year struggle of trying to gain immortality. In the past, Tao Fa felt sorry for the Hōko and didn't like the idea of using them as tools to replenish their Tao. However, after the Hōko were on the verge of extinction, and realizing that Lord Tensen's training would be all for not if they died, Tao Fa no longer felt any sympathy for the Hōko or anything living as long as it meant that Lord Tensen would be finished with their pursuit of immortality. This was shown as she used one of the Hōko's corpses as bait to lure in humans from the mainland as new sources of Tao. After Gantetsusai commented on how Lord Tensen enjoyed "toying" with humans, Tao Fa immediately lost her smile from Gantetsusai's misunderstanding remark and expressed her grief. Tao Fa also speculated that her constant smile might mean that she had already descended into madness. Tao Fa had stated that they preferred the female gender because of their liking to their appearance. As such, they also acted feminine on top of their appearance.
