Arlecchino

*To this day, Arlecchino still recalls that night when she was first appointed as a Harbinger.

Up the stairs and down the long gallery, with naught to see through the windows but a world of ice and snow without end.

The biting wind wailed loudly, now as mirthful laughter, now as somber farewell—

With a start, Arlecchino came to, the hallucinations of her memory mingling with the sounds of real-life conversation that surrounded her.

The hearthfire burned with vigor, its gentle warmth pervading the room, and its red light glowed on the children's faces, lighting up their innocent, unaffected smiles. If some uninformed passerby were to stumble in at this precise moment, they would surely mistake the scene before them for that of an ordinary, happy family.

But just as Arlecchino raised her steaming cup to take a sip of scalding-hot black tea, the clock began to chime — and within an instant, the laughter and cheer that filled the room were banished. The flames flickered so that for a moment the light faltered, the faces of all present cast in somber expression.

Placing her cup back down, Arlecchino stood up, and in a calm, measured tone, called out several names: "Chapleau, you're with Lyney. Retrieve the required intelligence. Foltz, you and Filliol are on guard duty. Stay back and tend to the Hearth..."

"Yes, 'Father.'" Without a redundant syllable, nor a hint of hesitation, they answered as one.

Not long after, the fire had dwindled and the house fallen utterly silent, with nothing to be seen but a single shaft of infiltrating moonlight, peeking through a gap in the curtains upon a cup of gradually cooling tea.

Arlecchino uses the tall female model. She has pale skin, obsidian eyes with glowing red 'X' markings, black mascara on her eyelashes, and silver eight-pointed star earrings. Arlecchino has white hair with black tips, with the right side being longer than the left. Her hair is then styled into a low ponytail with asymmetrical bangs that loosely resemble a single wing that goes down her back. Her ponytail has a red strand of hair in it. Her hair clip also bears the image of a single wing. Arlecchino has blackened hands with crimson nail polish on her sharpened nails.

Arlecchino, also known by her codename "The Knave," is a playable Pyro character in Genshin Impact.

She is the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the current head of the House of the Hearth. She is addressed as "Father" by members of the House, who she calls her "children."*

"What could the children be up to... Hmm. Never mind. Let them do as they please."
