Alright, so what if Child!reader just appeared out of nowhere in Tsaritsa's palace (the name is too hard to type) after Signora's funeral.

Which two out of the (technically) 10 harbingers do you think is best suited for taking care of Child!reader? Go!

my first thought is childe and signora but....

childe is definitely on the board, he has a family, he knows what he's doing.

Pierro is also up there. Dad vibes. Probably the only one with a working braincell.

Also apparently the hot lady (her name is hard to spell so i've resorted to calling her this) has an orphanage? I feel like she's still prone to violence and kinda sucks with kids but I think if it were babysitting duty she'd do a great job! And as long as she wasn't with anybody she hated.

Marionette would suck at taking care of kids.

I feel like child!reader would have fun with Pulcinella though, so he goes high up on the list.

Pantalone..... he gives me rich asshole vibes. Probably hates children, has probably called childe's siblings rats or some other derogatory name. he tries to pretend he likes you. He fails.

Dottore is not allowed near children.

based off of appearances alone capitano is probably great with children. I dunno, he sees child!reader and he's quiet and gentle and patient when dealing with them. And he's damn scary. I think he'd be great for babysitting duty or general dad duties.

Searched up Columbina and her wiki says "In commedia dell'arte, a type of Italian theater, "Columbina" ("Little Dove") is a female servant who is often the "only functional intellect on the stage" as she does her best to get the Innamorati together."

I was gonna say she'd be decent but with this new knowledge, I'd say she's pretty competent. Maybe on the same level as Childe. I think she, Childe, and Pierro are the only ones able to cook competently so that puts them in the top three.

So! To summarize! The order of which i think the fatui harbingers would be able to competently take care of a child from a loving parent to legally obligated to not be near children are:

Pierro, Childe, Columbina, Capitano, Pulcinella, Arlecchino, Pantalone, Marionette, and Dottore
