BIO:

A resident of the Kaka village and member of the Kaka tribe, Taokaka is a cat-girl, wearing a large coat that obscures her true face, only exposing red eyes and a row of teeth. (Whether or not this is her true face is a mystery.) She wants to get back the sky above her village, which was sealed off by humans building cities above her village. She recently was sent by the Elder to retrieve the bounty on Ragna's head, becoming a vigilante in the process. 

Despite this resolve, she is considerably food-obsessed and forgetful, often falling asleep on a whim, becoming hungry moments after a meal, or forgetting details moments after hearing them. She is good friends with Litchi, affectionately referring to her as "Boobie Lady". Although, she doesn't seem to refer to anyone other than herself by name; she calls Ragna "good guy", Bang "scruffy man", Arakune "black squiggly",
ν-13 "flappy-flap", and Jubei "cat person". 

She is unable to recognize that Ragna the "good-guy" and "Rawrgna" the criminal are the same person. Interesting to note is the fact that the Kaka tribe, which she hails from, is actually genetically engineered from the genes of the original Grimalkin (the name that refers to the species of the Kaka tribe), Jubei, one of the six heroes. As a clan, they are copies of each other and cannot reproduce above one hundred members.

First off... yes, she has a ridiculous name. She is an equally ridiculous design. Her cat-like fighting style is well-designed, and rightfully so, she's one of the fastest characters in the game! That's what caught me at first. She's a fun character to use for her speed and intuitive combo options. Visually, she's an imaginative and entertaining fighting game character who looks like no other.

Tao's personality is hilarious, which is revealed by playing through her Story mode in the game. Pretty much all she thinks about is food and she easily forgets things. Reminds me of myself at times. It's also pretty hilarious how she created nicknames for all the other characters in the game in story mode! She can be a bit much, perhaps annoying to some, but she's mostly just funny and kooky. Awesome attention to detail. At the end of the day, Taokaka is undoubtedly an original and memorable fighting game character in every way... and surprisingly one of my personal favorites in the BlazBlue series.
