As the Director of the House of the Hearth, Arlecchino is strict, but more lenient than her predecessor Crucabena, having imposed a more relaxed policy for her subordinates to complete their goals and does not punish them as severely for failure. She appears to have a soft spot for children, seeing that many members of the House of the Hearth are young and orphaned children taken in across Teyvat and views them all as her "children," becoming particularly angered when their well-being is threatened or manipulated.[13][14] While she does not like betrayal, she is not as cruel, as she was willing to spare traitors who demonstrated sufficient willpower by "executing" their identity in the House via excruciating mind-wipe rather than outright killing them physically; it is unknown what happens if someone is unable to withstand the pain this process causes, nor is it known how Arlecchino disposed of traitors before she implemented this "solution."
Despite being a woman, she is addressed as "Father" by the House of the Hearth's members; this is implied to be a rejection of Crucabena's ways, who called herself "Mother" and faked affection for the House of the Hearth's children while brutally mistreating them.
Arlecchino is disliked by her fellow Harbingers, who believe her to be violent and crazed beneath her stoic exterior.[15][16] These appear to stem from biased accounts of Arlecchino's past spread by Pulcinella,[17] with whom Arlecchino shares a mutual dislike.[18] Arlecchino allows these rumors about her to persist, as she believes deception to be a useful tool.[17]
Despite publicly claiming to be a Fontainian and having grown up in Fontaine, Arlecchino actually hails from Khaenri'ah. Arlecchino knows little about her origins, only knowing she had some kind of cursed fire running through her veins from a young age. All she does know was related to her by Pierro when she joined the Harbingers.
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."
About
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.
