Wang Tao

Wang Tao (onyomi: Ō Tō) is the eldest of two daughters to a reputed bandit chief, Wang Ling (王令公). After Guan Suo won Bao Sanniang's hand in marriage, her would-be-cowardly fiancé, Wei Lan, fled to his fort and hired Wang Ling to defend him. The chief and his bandit daughters led the defenses while plundering from the neighboring townsfolk.

Guan Suo pursued the rumors and infiltrated the fort to kill Wei Lan. On the way, he bested the Wang sisters in combat. Wooed by his strength, they both agreed to marry him. They stayed beside him but Zhuge Liang forbade them an official rank to aid Guan Suo in battle. After their husband's death, they either defended Shu to the end or returned to their hometown.
