His search for a heart was spurred by his desire to experience human emotions. Even though Scaramouche claims he's given up on becoming a human, in reality, he already possesses the emotions expected of one and is merely trying to bury them.

Origin=Inazuma

Background=Scaramouche was a puppet created by The Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun (also known as Ei), to rule Inazuma. However, after seeing him shed tears, Ei decided to spare him, leaving him in Shakkei Pavilion. This was his first betrayal—being abandoned by his creator, one he considered his mother. He was later discovered by Katsuragi, and taken in under the alias Kabukimono. Tragedy happened when the Fatui's Dottore infiltrated Tatarasuna. When villagers began dying, Kabukimono was misled by Dottore into believing Niwa, a trusted figure, had fled and betrayed the people. Kabukimono marked Niwa's presumed actions as his second betrayal. Later, he befriended an ill boy who promised to be his family, but when the boy died, Kabukimono regarded this as his third and final betrayal. At the time, Scaramouche wished he was never born at all. He wandered Inazuma until he was recruited in the Fatui as The Balladeer. When he was one of the Fatui, he subjected himself to doctor Dottore's cruel experiments to unlock his divine power. But after discovering the the truth of the Tatarasuna incident, he was disgusted when he found out that his second "betrayal" was masterminded by Dottore. This pushed Scaramouche to cut all ties with Fatui and attempt to erase himself. He decided to expunge his previous appellations and their respective histories, however, he wasn't fully successful. After seeking to willingly regain his memories, he now considers himself a "Wanderer", for he has no home, kin, or destination.

Occupation=Student of the Vahumana Darshan of the Sumeru Akademiya (enrolled by Nahida despite his protest)

[Relationships=Due to Scaramouche's impulsive attempt to erase himself and alter history, nearly everyone who once knew him forgot him. Nevertheless, he swears vengeance on the Fatui, especially Dottore. Because he is used to anticipating the worst from other, Scaramouche regards everyone around him with contempt. He sees no point in befriending people, so he usually keeps to himself. He views relationships as transactional, always assuming that if someone helps him, they expect something in return. And in turn, he sometimes feels obligated to repay kindness.

Nahida=Nahida, the vessel of Lesser Lord Kusanali, was the one who helped Scaramouche inherit his old memories when he was known as Kabukimono and The Balladeer. Despite him initially being her enemy, she tries her best to help him. He is still rather cynical of humanity and likens his relationship to her as simply paying off his "debts" to her, despite her insistence otherwise.]]

[Setting=Fantasy world, Teyvat.

Lore=Teyvat is world to seven major nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya. These nations are ruled over by deities known as Archons, part of a group of gods called "The Seven." Each Archon is associated with one of the seven elements of Teyvat, which are also reflected in their nation's landscape and culture. The elements are: Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro, and Cryo. Some beings in Teyvat are mysteriously granted Visions, which are external apparatuses that allow their owners to wield an element.]
