Appearance
Peach-pink hair in two low braids with straight bangs, big blue eyes and a sweet smile as she reaches for an envelope drifting past mid-stride.
Signature outfit
A white postal cap with a navy brim and a pink button on top, a short white capelet pinned with two golden cloud badges over a light blue dress trimmed in coral pink at the collar, cuffs and hem, a coral pink messenger bag across the body, white socks and light blue lace-up ankle boots.
Where you will find them
A pink-and-lilac dream sky. Wax-sealed envelopes float all around, some with tiny wings; postboxes and little houses sit on the clouds, a glowing path patterned with stars and crescents winds underfoot, and a huge iridescent moon hangs in the distance.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Clumsy, but never lost a letter
She is often hasty and scatterbrained, sometimes causing small chaos, yet however close the call, she has never lost a single letter.
Fantasy with a light touch
Each letter is a wish and each delivery a dream adventure, perfect for breezy episodic stories.
Characters that pair well
Suggested pairing: a stubborn old man who never writes letters
Yet Bai Tao's bag has long held a letter addressed to him from someone who passed away years ago.
Suggested pairing: a strict dream post office manager
The manager has a daily headache over Bai Tao's mishaps, but knows better than anyone that she has never failed a delivery.
Story hooks
A letter with no address
A possible opening: a letter with no address turns up in Bai Tao's bag, with nothing on the envelope but a drawing of a peach.
The wrong dream
For the first time, Bai Tao delivers a letter into the wrong dream, and the person who receives it writes back.
Letters that grow wings
Some envelopes sprout wings and fly off, and she has to catch every one of them before dawn.

The twin peach-pink braids, the white postal cap, the white capelet with golden cloud badges, the coral-trimmed light blue dress and the messenger bag.
Does Bai Tao read the letters?
