Tao Saotome is one of the main protagonists. She is a lady with a hairstyle featuring centrally parted braided hair. Notably, she is tall and wears round blue sunglasses. Her eyes possess a lavender-purple hue.

In spite of her reserved demeanor that might come across as intimidating when upset, she also exhibits a compassionate side that extends help to those in need. She operates a troubleshooting agency and takes care of Alma as an employee. Beneath her role as a "Troubleshooter," she also functions as a specialized "assassin," targeting Magas. While she demands substantial fees for assignments within her agency, she undertakes Maga-related tasks without charge. She is a consistent smoker and has a slightly unconventional habit of sticking out her tongue. Her appetite is hearty, albeit not on par with Alma's. Her preferred weapon is a pistol, utilizing ammunition derived from Alma's blood to combat Magas.
