lyney's character story about his vision revealing arlecchino didn't allow him to use a delusion and was genuinely angry that he would do something lynette wouldn't want for him, encouraging him to find other solutions... the way she was also sad lyney didn't feel comfortable relying on her during the quest... she really cares about the kids. her smile while speaking to furina also looked sincere. even though one can debate if this is all an act to make them trust and be loyal to her (as said by her, "good actors hone their craft to mesmerise the whole crowd") or acknowledge the fact she's using the kids by making them part of the fatui, she genuinely seems to cherish them. at least she goes through lengths that aren't really necessary for her not to care. the way she reformed the orphanage, the way she helped freminet get closure on his mother's fate... i just think it goes to show and confirm once more how biased everything/everyone in the game is. sometimes bordering unreliable, really. scara and childe's lines about her paint her in a certain light, which i'm not saying isn't true quite the opposite, but that persona seems to coexists with the version the kids from the house of the hearth know.

#her friendly proposal to the traveler also seemed genuine even if she has other interests in mind #maybe we will be surprised in the future i don't know but her vibe is really different from someone like dottore #she is cordial and diplomatic which automatically means she's cunning and probably good at manipulating people but she also seems genuine #and empathetic and her debate with furina only comes to show how smart she is... she seemed righteous?!#i'm really curious to find out more about her motivations why she became an harbinger and so on #she seems extremely loyal to the tsaritsa #the tsaritsa also seems so cool i loved that she was described in such a regal way for some reason #shnezenaya is gonna be such a cool area #anyways daily arlecchino rant because obsessed with her #on another note lyney's story was very emotional him and lynette really went through a lot #knowing they probably wouldn't be 'here' if only the gods hadn't blessed lyney is so :')#they really would go to the end of the world for each other #also for freminet despite not being blood related they really are each others family #sobbing i love them #lyneys voice lines always make me sad he just wants to be seen and accepted #i want to hug him 😭

Personal Assistant...

Yandere Fatui Harbingers x Dom Male Reader part 4

Part 3

Warnings: Degradation, cursing, an organ getting cut off

"What do you mean gone?! You better be pulling my leg here, Tartaglia!"

Dottore shouted at the ginger, not believing that his loyal assistant is gone from his room, surely the ginger was just bluffing to get a reaction out of him, right?!

The masked man was overthinking to the point that he was already marching over to (M/N)'s headquarters, along with the rest of the harbingers and the [alive] assistants. [yk, bc op died lmao, rip bozo]

The said male threw the door open, making a shelf full of plants fall down to the floor, dirtying it.

"Ah... Milords and miladies, what brings you here?"

(M/N) was quite startled that every harbinger was there- They even destroyed his plants! He was furious but nevertheless, he couldn't snap at them as he didn't want to die yet.

"My apologies, (M/N), Tartaglia informed us that you weren't in your room."

"Lord Pierro, Lord Tartaglia, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I just took a shower. Sorry for the trouble."

"No worries, (M/N). It seems as though Tartaglia wasn't looking hard enough for you, how lazy."

Sandrone replied, eyeing Tartaglia up and down, she was mad at him for ruining her beauty sleep. As while Arlecchino sighed and shooed the others away, wanting some rest herself.

"Get some rest (M/N), apologies for barging in."

"It's no problem, Lord Capitano."

The harbinger nodded and went out of the room with the rest of them. It was quite weird that all of them went to (M/N)'s room altogether though.

Two days has passed and (M/N) was back to working with Dottore, nothing seemed too much out of the ordinary, just the usual when working with him; Experiments, delusion making, drugs, potions, visions(?), pills that make you tell the truth- Wait-

"Now tell me (M/N), where were you last night? Because I, for one, know that, that ginger wouldn't wake us all up just for a misunderstanding."

Dottore was standing in front of (M/N), while the male was sitting down at a chair, tied to a rope to prevent him from escaping.

"Lord Dottore, I was at my room, showering. Lord Tartaglia must've not seen me."

"Tell me the truth or I'll force it out of you."

He was slowly losing his patience, it would be a shame to kill a person who helps him with his experiments, he'll probably just leave him with... Permanent blindness in his right eye.

"My Lord, if I may be bold, I am telling the truth- AH-"

Dottore forcefully grabbed his chin and forced his mouth wide open to swallow the pill. It didn't take long for (M/N) to swallow the pill and cough harshly due to not having anything to push the pill down easily.

"Now tell me, for the love of Tsaritsa- Where have you been?"

"I was at- I was at Lord Scaramouche's hiding place-!"

It was quiet for a moment until Dottore grabbed (M/N)'s shirt and pulled him towards himself, he was seething in anger and if anyone were to enter the room right at this moment, they would be dead before they could even step another second.

"WHERE IS THE BALLADEER AT?! TELL ME YOU, STUPID PEASANT!"

"I don't- I don't know!"

Now (M/N) was trembling in fear, quite scared for his life as the masked man thrashed the lab, his creations being broken left and right. Everybody knew of Dottore's outbursts and it wasn't nearly as bad as this one, in fact, you could even say that this one was the worse out of all of them.

"WHERE IS HE?!"

"Sir- I told you, I do not know, he's always on the run!"

"YOU USELESS FUCK!"

He grabbed a- A FUCKING MACHETE?!!? jk

He grabbed a pocket knife and lodged it into (M/N)'s right eye and the tied-up male couldn't do anything but grunt out in extreme pain while trying to catch his breath and try his best to stay awake.

"You'll be cleaning up this mess once you wake up tomorrow morning. And you will be testing out this potion I made. Am I understood?"

(M/N) was confused but nonetheless, nodded and finally passed out due to lack of blood and exhaustion. . . . . . . . . . . . . . You didn't think that this was the end, did you?

Dottore picked up the passed-out male and took care of him swiftly before carrying him back to his room, putting him on the bed so he could recover comfortably.

He leaned in and whispered to his ear; "Just so you know, this experiment of mine will determine whether you'll die or not."

With that, he left the room with the injured male sleeping soundly.

A/N: I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING PART 4 AND I'M SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER 😭🙏 I WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK ON IT YESTERDAY BUT I HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR CAUSE I COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING IN MY LEFT EAR, BUT I GOT IT FIXED, DW!! I'LL TRY TO POST PART 5 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND YES, IT'S SMUT. taglist:

Love when artists draw me as a harbinger because yes yes that is me! That was my future only a few years post-canon. I also love when people draw me with Father because I'm their successor. I love the art that spawns from my story.

What I dont love is the amount of art that fits these critera where I look upset. Some I just look stoic, like my second drip, so its fine. Though I've seen several where I look depressed, unhappy, or even scared in the ones where I'm with Father. They work well for sadder shifts I suppose but it worries me how common it seems to be.

As if these people think I don't want this? That this wasnt the biggest honor in the world to me? I had my fears because I didnt feel good enough for such an important role, or the reaction Lynette would have when she learned I accepted it without even asking her, but I was never scared of the job itself, nor of Father putting me in it. It was my dream, to be the best successor Father could've ever dreamed of.

I wanted it so badly I begged for a delusion after Lynette earned her vision, because how could one be worthy of being a harbinger if he didn't have power from the gods. Or power from the Tsaritsa herself, so much better than typical visions according to the fatui. I was willing to become whatever I needed to inorder to fulfill my future. Luckly Father knew I would earn a vision myself soon enough so those sacrifices didnt need to be made.

I don't understand why people would think I didn't want to live this life. Or that I didnt love being fathers successor. Sure I loved my magic act, sure the hearth was more loyal to Father than the Fatui. But I didnt want it for the fatui and I wasnt scared of them either. I wanted to be my Fathers best son. The son worthy of being the one they chose to adopt fully. I wanted to prove to myself that Father Never Makes Bad Decisions.

I know I had nothing to prove to them by that point, Father always made that extremely clear, that even though all of the hearth were their children, Lynette and I were special. We were ACTUALLY their kids, by all laws in Teyvat we were proper official family. But none of that was ever going to stop me from reaching higher. Thats what Father taught me. And what kind of son would ignore his fathers teachings?

~Lyney, No.6 of the Fatui Harbingers 🕯♟ (Genshin Impact)

(p.s. yeah sorry Wanderer I stole your title and seat number a little bit bc everyone not only forgot you existed but thought whever was in that seat they cant remember anything about was dead due to all the uh. Stuff you did in Sumeru. I'm sure you dont mind hahaaaa.....)

Love letter

{SUMMARY}: you're the tsaritsa heir, you wouldn't thought your position It'll bring you something else instead just power and dominance

THIS IS EXTRA RANDOM FROM THE SUMMARY BUT YOU'LL HAVE A BROTHER NAME LUKA

Character: Arlecchino

I might turn this to an AO3 and Wattpad fanfic idk,THIS IS BY FAR THE FANFIC THAT TOOK ME LITTLE TIME

ARLECCHINO,THE KNAVE

She adored you,you are so much unlike the tsaritsa. You have such soft spot for elderly people and kids,you show respect to those that have so much lower rank than you,your appearance was very mesmerizing no matter how much she stares and look at you, she even wonder how such a hardworking, beautiful- Perfect person like you exist.

Meanwhile her in other hand was cruel,cold hearted and have crazy obsession over controlling people, it's like she has no sane bone in her body,her hand were blood sheeted meanwhile your was soft like a silk. But after all of those she couldn't help but to imagine you as her lover,she only keep these feeling inside her locked heart this whole time

That untill your brother,Luka and the harbinger found out about it,lucky her,they promised to keep it a secret,prince Luka often tease her about it though but beside teasing he's been helping arlecchino to get to know more about you. Your interest,your dislike,your type of person,your ideal date.. it crazy how she's really desperate for your attention,it a miracle that the tsaritsa herself commanded her to bodyguard you when you're out of town or doing something,in this way she could always look at the face she always adored, you're the only person where she doesn't have to worry about her attitude.. it come to the point she's ready to take her big puppy crush to other level,she comes to the tsaritsa office herself to ask for permission to propose you,she has a good reputation in her Majesty eyes and extremely loyal to her so of course she got her permission,even if she didn't,she'll wait. She'll wait no matter how long is it will take, nothing will ever outshine you.

With the help of friendship the harbinger and your brother,she finally write her confession letters,she admitted all of her feelings to the white sheeted paper. She had bought the most luxurious ring in all of snezhnaya along with a mansion. She also reserved a whole romantic restaurants for her confession to you

"arlecchino,im here,I'm sorry if I make you wait"you said with heavy breath as you pulled the chair Infront of her.

"Soo.. what do you want to talk about?"you continue,the longer you speak,the more anxious she got. What if you're not ready? What if you said no? What if- she took a deep breath before exhaling it. Preparing every words for her confession

"my lady y/n. I have a confession to make"she spoke,her voice laced with worry,her hand was fiddling with her other hands but it seem like she tried to hide it as she could

"I like you, I've been keeping these feelings since the day we met,the day you was introduced to me,I couldn't help but stares at your figure everytime you pass by,no matter how much I already saw you. I know we're both the opposite. I know that my hand were blood sheeted meanwhile your was clean and smooth as a silk,but with your permission please let us form a strong connection, fulfilling each other defiency. I asked for your mother permission to propose you already so.."

"will you marry me? Even if you're not ready,I'll wait no matter how long is it."she continue.

"yes. I accept you, nobody ever bought shines to my eyes so much as you do,the whole snezhnaya shall celebrate this"you confessed back at her,looking at her black deep eyes. You couldn't imagine how lucky you're

When she told the harbinger about how the confession went,they congratulations her. The fatui agent that work under her also swore to never see arlecchino smile as much as the day after the confession

Okay I’m just gonna spam my ideas for a Genshin caos/Witch au cause it’s nearly spooky month

So basically it’s a mix between the horror of chilling adventures of Sabrina series and magic of witches and warlocks smooshing that with genshin!

——————————

It follows Fischl and her friends Xinyan, Mona and Kazuha as they go to Teyvats school for magic!

It’s name hasn’t really been established yet in my head but it’s a huge place full of different students, who use different magic types from other regions far away from where it’s located.

It’s quite close to Liyue (this is in a modern setting btw) and is neutral territory for the impeding war that might happen.

The types of magic are:

Pyro

Cryo

Anemo

Geo

Hydro

Dendro

Depending on your region you may have already started to learn a certain type of magic eg. Mondstadt/Anemo or Liyue/Geo

But you can learn other types of magic to broaden your horizons!

This is where Visions come in, these are a store for the magic kinda. They can be used for spells and weapons, and if you learn another kind of magic your vision tends to turn into a mix of the colours of magic you can use.

Eg. Fischl had actually started to learn Dendro magic for fun. Kazuha had tried to learn hydro but gave it up in his first year.

Theirs also Abyss and Aura magic types of rare magic that were used by the Archons of old and used by the Abyss Order that were somewhat stamped out and killed. These are extremely temperamental and powerful magics and can be used by only a rare selection of witches/warlocks themselves.

Then there’s the Tsaritsa who has some Abyss magic that she gives to her most loyal followers. (I’ll expand more on abyss and aura magic and what part they play later)

She and the Fatui really want to destroy what remains of the Archons so she can fully be in power.

———————-

Now back to Fischl and her friends!

It’s their second year at the academy, after a very quiet first year with no bad guys or suspicious looking members of the Fatui Harbingers trying to destroy the already fragile peace.

Fischl and Xinyan want more excitement, little did they know that would come with Mona’s Enemy Scaramouche who turns out to be extremely fucking suspicious to Mona, so as good friends do they agree to help her on her study of him.

They then see scaramouche and their senior Childe talking in the shadows about some guy called Regrator and they instantly know something Isn’t right.

It becomes a race against time to uncover the mystery and make sure no one especially the three leaders (Zhongli, Venti and Raiden) who the fatui happen to be after.

But everything is not as it seems in Tevyat and in the darkness rules a familiar friend of Fischl and the gangs. They may be the only key to stopping a full out war between the witches and warlocks of Tevyat.

I’ve been thinking about Childe a lot recently- because my friends slander him relentlessly and other than one person who kinda semi-likes him I’m the only one who actually likes his character.... and I know I’ve slandered him a fair amount myself but just-

He was a child.

A child - No ‘e’. No puns. No jokes. Not this time.

He was only fourteen.

His story described him as “frightened and hesitant” prior to his time in the abyss. All he wanted was an adventure of his own. To make an adventurer of himself, the likes of which he had heard so many times in the stories of his father. To be like him. He didn’t even go seeking the abyss or any kind of grave danger or incredible power, he was just a naïve little boy, running away from home with almost nothing in chase of a story of his own.

And yet he was fated to fail, and everything went south almost immediately. Lost in the freezing cold forest environments of Snezhnaya, he was completely alone save for the wild animals on his trail. And by an unlucky roll of the dice - or perhaps because in that moment, his desire and drive to survive, to live, to get back to his family, was so strong that even the abyss itself took notice - the world he knew was stripped away.

Scared and vulnerable with only a shortsword for protection, Ajax was torn from what already would have served to be traumatizing enough for the child, and thrust into something immeasurably worse.

Described as “a bottomless crack in the earth’s surface,” “the endless possibilities of another ancient world,” and “the darkest corners of the universe;” the abyss is not a place that ordinary people are meant to survive. Now I could go on about what the abyss may be or who the swordswoman might be or what might have happened to him, but the point is: it doesn’t matter what happened, his trauma is trauma nonetheless and its not in his control nor is it his fault how his brain decided to process it. Regardless, I think “endless possibilities” within the “darkest corners of the universe” speaks well enough for the severity.

Even without this however, it is important to note that for three months of what logically would have driven anyone to or past the brink, he had one consistent point of relative safety in the form of the swordswoman, a person who while training him for destruction, was also deliberately manipulating into him “the ability to stir up endless havoc.”

Placed in an extremely traumatic situation like this and being manipulated by one he would have been forced to see as an anchor of sorts, simultaneously holding him together and molding him into the twisted version of himself that she wanted him to be; Realistically, Childe is more a victim than anything else.

And he returned - still only a fourteen year old child - to his home.

Now an interesting point: based on the wording of his character story, it seems as though when he came out from the abyss, his new demeanor actually unnervingly reflects his hopes when he ran away, implying that the swordswoman very well could have used his own ambition as a cruel mirror to shape him based off, or used them merely as an additional manipulation tactic. “He acted as if this world revolved around him, and as if battle existed for his sake.” Almost as though he were truly the protagonist in an adventure story of his own, just like his father before- or perhaps that’s what he was made to believe.

Regardless, Childe quickly gained a reputation for havoc, chaos, and violence, as it followed him and he spread it wherever he went, just as he had learnt to do during his time in the abyss, constantly seeking that unpredictability, the thrill of combat.

And this continued until he went too far, and in response to this, the father that he admired so greatly sent Ajax away into the strict military environment of the Fatui. The idea was that the highly strict environment of training for the literal military, would “hone his son’s temper.” Not dampen, or control, or reduce in any way, but “hone” - to sharpen it, to refine and perfect it. And he watched “fully-armed troops getting the stuffing beaten out of them by a mere child.“

He was only a child.

Everything he went through in the abyss and all the changes he went through himself, only to be shipped into military by the family who could no longer handle dealing with the effects of what he experienced...

And he was just a kid.

oh but they honed his temper alright. Not only was he entered in this military training like his father had planned originally, but soon after, the young child was selected and placed within the official ranks of the Fatui themselves under the guise of being a punishment.

Told to work his way up the ranks from the bottom, the Fatui “honed” his temper and penchant for combat towards the purpose of serving the Tsaritsa, encouraging these tendencies that would only continue to grow stronger and more apparent with time as a result of their actions, which was exactly their intent. These, psychologically and neurologically, were the key years for his mental development.

And once again the young Ajax found himself the victim of another’s subtle manipulation. Until he was Ajax no more.

Childe has been under the constant task of further proving himself since enlisting in the Fatui, and once he gained the recognition of the Tsaritsa, the only next possible way of doing that was by comparing his skills to others. And thus far, he has exceed in this time and time again, so with the evidence before him his arrogant confidence in his abilities is by no means unreasonable. Nor is his tendency to express friendship and varied other things through combat, it’s only natural after besting others in battle became his main source of acknowledgement throughout his younger years.

He’s fiercely loyal as well, to the point where - were his sense of loyalty not so shrouded in his delusion of what loyalty is meant to be - it would likely border on codependency. He also doesn’t seem to have the greatest understanding of social cues, as expected with his combat-oriented upbringing, and tends to have an unnerving aura to a lot of the things he says that he doesn’t seem aware of.

His loyalty to the Tsaritsa rings true, and seems to be his highest priority above all others, an ideology that, once again has been drilled into him since the age of 14. However, despite this, he is disliked and avoided even by his fellow harbingers, and often kept out of their true plans in a way that clearly shows what low opinions they have of his abilities in certain areas.

And yet, through it all, he still maintains his own set of values and seeks to make genuine connections which people, which while these efforts may be unsuccessful in most cases, and these values far in between - It still firmly shows the strength of his character which, though in fragments, managed to remain as a part of who he is in spite of his circumstance.

And i get that he’s memeable and slanderable and easy for a lot of people to just hate outright, i really do but sometimes it feels like a lot of people only ever see him at surface value and a lot of people dont even know his story and even fewer still actually consider the implications of that background. He was literally a child soldier - that and even more; “endless possibilities” more.

I have nothing against Childe slander, genuinely - but eventually, when it reaches a certain extent...

It’s not bad, I’m just tired.

The Fatui is literally just a cult

The Characteristics of cult behavior are as follows

A charismatic leader

While we don’t know much about the Tsaritsa, she does have something about her that strikes fear and respect into the hearts of people who don’t even love her. As stated in Tartaglia’s Delusion story: “The sight of the Tsaritsa on her lofty throne alone stirred the young man's heart with respect and admiration, not merely because she opened the way for him to find an abundance of looming battles, but also because of the way she looked upon him. Her gaze was cold but pure, arrogant yet sharp. She was not only the sacrosanct Cryo Archon but also a true warrior.” Tartaglia, who swears loyalty to nobody, decided that day, the Tsaritsa would be the only force that could control him. She certainly seems to have enough charisma to make even the most unruly of her followers completely and blindly loyal to her.

Ideological purity

“The will of the Tsaritsa is the purest thing in the entire world,” Is that not what Signora said before her untimely death? The Polar Star’s lore section puts the goal of the Tsaritsa in clear, yet obviously propagandistic words, “‘I was once a wounded wolf, betrayed by the whole world,’ ‘But we shall create a new world, one in which no one shall ever be forsaken.’" It’s a glittering generalization, something nobody could argue against even if the execution of said beliefs are extremely immoral. I mean, why would you argue against a pure, equal world, where everyone is treated well?

Conformity and control

“The Fatui often face the world from behind their masks, and it is said that this is because all they once were mean nothing once they become Fatui, and thus must they forsake their true names and face alike” (The Description for the Funerary Mask). Harbingers especially are meant not to show their true identity or humanity to the world, they are second highest only to a god are they not? The facade mustn’t crumble, how else would the Harbingers maintain control? This stripping of identity is also a control method, without the Fatui, you are nothing.

Mind-altering practices

The militaristic practices of the Fatui very clearly take a toll on the members. Diplomats and agents seem not only to respect the Harbingers but fear them and there is an implication of verbal and physical abuse as a “discipline”.

Isolation and love-bombing

Now, the Fatui may not seem to isolate it’s members or love-bomb them, I mean, the organization definitely doesn’t seem to be nice to new recruits, but notice something most Fatui posses, a delusion. We saw with Teppei the absolute obsession one can have with the idea of being greater, of being more powerful, of their ambition finally being recognized, even at the cost of their own bodies. We also notice some Harbingers (Childe and Signora) use the idea of the Tsaritsa and her goal as a coping mechanism of sorts, believing they have some greater purpose due to their connection to a god. As for the isolation aspect, the Fatui work such long hours that it is difficult for them to connect with family and friends and the Fatui, in all honesty, likely discourages forming close, interpersonal relationships with those outside of Snezhnaya.

Us-vs-them mentality

“Likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace. And because she made an enemy of the world, I had the chance to become acquainted with you” (Tartaglia, ‘About The Tsaritsa’). The Fatui oppose anyone who stands in their way. They’ve turned their back on the world and their only solace is in their own pursuits and the goal of the Tsaritsa, this one is honestly the easiest to explain on the list.

Apocalyptic thinking

"’Know that the destruction of all precedes the birth of a new order.’ ‘At devastation's end, we will greet a stainless dawn’“ (The Polar Star). “OP that isn’t what apocalyptic thinking means.” Hear me out, contrary to most cults which believe they must bring an end to the apocalypse, the Fatui believes they must bring the apocalypse to bring a new world from the ashes (which is interesting considering every nation has a character tied to the phoenix but that’s a topic for another time). So while it may not be traditional apocalyptic thinking, it still counts.

Time and energy

Imagine being so overworked that your little brother crosses the lines of several nations just to see you. Imagine craving human interaction so much that you leave notes for your coworker whom you can never see because you have opposite shifts. The Fatui are held to fairly strict schedules and seemingly only get downtime to take care of their needs. They dedicate their entire lives to this organization. It’s a cult, it’s literally just a cult guys.

#genshin #genshin impact #fatui #the fatui is a cult #i mean it's pretty obvious #but i had always kind of exclusively seen them as a military and diplomatic organation #honestly poor fatui agents

Lol time to talk about something that isn't Baal or inazuma so it's now fatui harbinger time 🕺💃🕺💃

This will be mostly just speculation and talking about the commedia dell'arte and what the other possible harbingers could be based on and what traits they could have.

Warning for possible spoilers and no proof reading btw

All harbingers so far are named after the characters from the commedia dellarte. The commedia dellarte was an early form of perfessional theater in Italy.

Tartagila is named after the character Tartagila from the play (duh lol) who's name means stutter.

The character is farsighted and has a stutter, he also is apparently clumsy.

These traits in Childe seem to be interpetted very loosely.

His farsightedness and stutter are interpetted in a less literally sense. His farsightness can be how Childe is very straightforward and easy to manipulate (like how Zhongli and La Signora manipulated him). The stutter can be how his path in life as been unsteady (you know like falling into the abyss, joining the army, becoming an harbinger, almost destroying an city).

Scaramouche's commedia dellarte counterpart name means "little skirmisher". The commedia dellarte character's personality is that of an unscrupulous and unreliable servant. The character is also described as "sly, adroit, supple, and conceited". The character can either be played as clever or stupid, depending on how the actor sees fit to portray them.

It feels like Scaramouche's personality is far more accurate to the commedia dell'arte then Tartagila is. Scaramouche in genshin is two faced and also is heavily disliked amongst the fatui for having a disagreeable personality.

La Signora's commedia dellarte counterpart I can't really find that much info on but apparently she is tough, beautiful, and calculating. The commedia dellarte character is known for being overdressed and has alot of material desires (the money and power).

The La Signora we see in genshin is similar but seems to much more cruel (even killing her own subordinates). She's manipulative and cunning, and seems to be easily angered (like when she kicked Venti).

Dottore is a character we haven't seen in game yet but we have seen him in the manga. His commedia dellarte counterpart is meant to be representative of the learned intellectual class, and is meant to be a parody of the educated elite. He has a tendency to talk alot and bore the other characters on stage, the commedia dellarte character also got called an "loverat".

The dottore in genshin is much darker than the commedia dellarte version. Dottore in the manga experiments on humans and turns his dead servant into an ruin guard fusion. Dottore is apparently a scholar who studied at the sumeru academia but was chased away because of his unethical experiments. Right now it seems that their similarities is that both characters are extremely intelligent and have grey morals.

The harbingers we have confirmed so far but haven't seen yet are: Pierro (jester), Pulcinella (the rooster), Pantalone, Sandrone (the puppet), Capitano (the captian)

So that leaves two unnamed harbingers

Luckily we can guess the two other harbingers with this image

This is the image that's behind Childe's card and has all the constellations of the harbingers.

We can already guess who is the crying dove. The crying dove is most likely Columbia who's name means dove and the moth is probably harlequin, not only is there an harlequin moth but there is also the commedia dell'arte character named Harlequin.

Now let's get onto the archetypes of these characters

Pierrot (most likely Pierro)

(This section is taken from Wikipedia)

The defining characteristic of Pierrot is his naiveté: he is seen as an fool, often the butt of pranks, but trusting notheless.

(Note- Pierro is talked about in the pale flame artifact set and seems to be the most loyal to the tsaritsa. Pierro is also implied to be an survivor of Khenriah)

Plucinella

(This section is from Wikipedia)

Plucinella is a dualistic character: he either plays dumb, though he is very aware of the situation, or he acts as though he is the most intelligent and competent, despite being woefully ignorant.

Pantalone

(This section is taken from britannica)

Pantalone- a cunning and rapacious yet often deceived merchant

(This section is paraphrased from Wikipedia)

"But at every step he becomes the butt for every conceivable kind of trick".

Pantalone is characterized as loving money and having emotional extremes.

(Note- there's an section of the Pale flame lore that seems to talk about Pantalone in its time peice. It talks about how Pantalone was never blessed by the gods and seems to have a connection to liyue. Pantalone seems to crave so much because he was born with nothing)

Sandrone

(This part is taken from Wikipedia)

Sandrone is represented as a peasant who is crude, clever, and cunning. He is seen as the spokesman of poor people who are ill-treated, eternally hungry, and always using tricks to make ends meet.

Capitano

(Taken from Wikipedia)

He is often a braggart and a swaggerer who can maintain his claims only by the benefit of the fact that none of the locals know him.

He would be the first to run away from any and all battles.

Columbia

(Taken from marega.it)

Columbia is the mischievous and charming serving wench, a comic character who is not always the mirror of virtue.

She was often the only functioning intellect on stage.

She may be a flirtatious and impudent character, indeed a soubrette without losing her judgement.

(Note that Columbia mightve been mentioned in the Pale flame set lore. The women is said to be heavily scared and dresses in pure white but unable to cleanse the impurity of her past)

Harlequin

(Taken from britannica)

He was amoral without being vicious, and, unlike his fellow commedia servants, he did not hold a grudge or seek revenge against those who cheated or tricked him.

Obviously alot of these traits are probably going to be interpreted differently just like how Childe is a far more loose interpretation of his inspiration.

Also the word Fatui means fools in Latin which is probably in reference to how all the harbingers are named after stage characters.

That's all I have for now, so make what you will with this information or whatever lmao

until we meet again, in snezhnaya.

🍁🍰 hyodo juza

They call Hyodo Juza, “Defender of Childhood Dreams”.

Because if you make a promise, you keep it. If you make a mistake, you apologize. If you give someone a dream, you defend it ‘til the end.

Despite always being away from his home country of Snezhnaya, Juza found himself keeping his word no matter where he went. As one of the older brothers of the Hyodo household, Juza could clearly remember his younger siblings’ tears as he departed all those years ago.

“Toymakers go all around the world for the best toys! I’ll send home lots of gifts, promise.” Juza swore on his life before disappearing away in the snow, wielding the emblem of the Fatui at eighteen.

“Brother Kumon, I will be home soon. I will take the first ship home, just as I promised—and you know how I always keep my promises.”

Yours faithfully, Your loyal knight

Juza sits in Liyue now, the ink staining the parchment against his will as he carefully signs his name. Gifts of all kinds sat beside him, such as kites, rattle drums, porcelain dolls, and snacks. After all, Juza did make a promise to send gifts. His younger brother, Kumon, deserved the best.

Before Juza could remember the chill of the snow down his spine and the numbing cold of frostbite he hadn’t felt in so long, the surface of his tea became unevenly rippled. At a distance, Juza could already tell it was you. Your rather odd companion, Paimon, could be sighted a mile away with how loud she was. On the other hand, you attentively listened as you stood out amongst the crowds.

Placing his quill down, Juza placed a pleasant smile upon his face. For a second, Snezhnaya disappeared. The frozen binding of his loyalty to her Majesty, the Tsaritsa, melted to reveal a heart longing for you to turn your head.

Even if it was for a moment, Juza’s head cleared of it all. His family waiting for him to conquer the world, his brother awaiting his latest toys, the expectation of laying all seven stars upon the Cryo Archon’s feet. All of it disappeared and all that was left was your face.

Honorary knight of Mondstadt. Hero that slayed Dvalin, or Stormterror. Lost twin looking for your sibling across Teyvat. You, a person from a different world, had made Juza forget why he had been fighting. Ever since he was fourteen, Juza fought tooth and nail just to survive. Now, Juza almost felt like he didn’t have to even move a finger as you met his eyes and returned his smile.

Juza would go through the abyss again, for three years even, to keep that smile.

When you walked over to his table of one, Juza lifted his hand in a wave as he called your name. Like you two were just friends, and nothing more. However, friends... wasn’t enough, not for Juza.

“Finally! My only worthy opponent, have you come for another fight?” Juza half-joked, his voice betraying his rumbling excitement and passion to be beaten once again. You always managed to gain the upper hand despite everything, and the rush of feeling like he was about to die gave him a thrill like no other.

But, you just shook your head as Paimon rolled her eyes, crossing her little arms mid-air. “Gosh, Juza, all you think about is fighting!” Juza held his hands up as if he surrended (he never actually would) and rested his hand on his spear, feeling the cool metal. Juza could imagine the electric sensation of his delusion, crackling for a fight regardless.

Only you could get him so worked up, Juza thought.

“No, I. . .” You trailed off, pausing to look away. The lowering sunset reflected in your eyes, like waves of Liyue’s harbor. Juza watched as your heart beat faster, uncertain, which was strange for such a renown legend in the making. Finally, you met his eyes with the confidence he knew and loved.

“I wanted to see you again before you left Liyue.” You honestly admitted and Juza let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. The bustling merchants of the city of contracts continued to thrive around the two. Carts of many merchandises wheeled past them, children ran by making up fantasies beyond the ocean, and business never stopped as trade went on and on. This was Liyue at its finest, and Juza was sure he’d miss it. Or, more specifically, you.

“Really? Perhaps I’ll have to take you home to my family one day. In the snowy hills where everything is cold.” Juza spoke like he was telling a story, as if he was speaking to Kumon back in their one-room hut. As if the snowflakes were in their hair, gloves keeping their hands functional, and makeshift fire was burning weakly between them. You seemed to change, posture weakening as if you were... safe.

You relaxed and didn’t have that subconscious to fight, not when you were with Juza. While you and Juza were two opposite ends of the spectrum, you two had one similarity that bound you together: being born into a life where fighting was the only option. Your hand that always hovered above your weapon fell to your side, and you took a seat across from Juza.

Juza, eleventh Harbringer of the Fatui, feared by all for his chaotic wild card battles. Yet, here he was, writing back home and drinking tea with a traveller who had done the impossible. You made him feel like putting down his weapons and running away, you made him want a second chance at life. As long as it was with you. Only you.

“Snezhnaya... tell me about it.” You said and Juza’s fingers twitched. Visions flew by his mind rapidly, mostly unpleasant and hard to speak of at a place like this. Juza wouldn’t dare tell you about the droughts of hunger when the war left the people to fend for themselves, the iced-over corpses serving as markings in the mountains, nor the everlasting pine trees that spoke of disaster with each collapse. Juza couldn’t say it, not when you were looking at him so wholeheartedly.

“My favorite thing to do is ice-fishing.” Juza started and launched into a whirlwind of his number one hobby. Spoke of the early morning hours cutting holes into thick layers of ice, wobbly legs shaking on the large expanse of the frozen lake, and sitting in silence as wildlife swam beneath them. Juza told you about the spike of adrenaline when he could feel the ice crack haphazardly, the jagged splits uncommon but exciting every time. When Juza shared his most beloved memories, he couldn’t help but feel the Snezhnayan cold with the closest possible feeling to joy.

You listened once again, face pensive and eyes focused on Juza’s hand motions, content tone, and honesty above all. You could almost see the nameless lake, the snow banks, the shadows of fish. You exhaled, and despite the warm atmosphere of Liyue, you swore you could see your breath solidify as if it was Dragonspine.

When Juza closed off his story with a smile, you spoke without a care in the world. As if your sibling wasn’t missing. As if you didn’t have to find all seven archons. As if the fate of Teyvat wasn’t upon your shoulders. Right now, it was just you and Juza. Juza and you.

“When I come to see you in Snezhnaya, I want to have your best fish dish.”

Juza propped his elbow upon the table, before holding his pinky out. You took it with your own, and Juza shot you a wink of many unsaid words. A contract, if you will. Fitting for Liyue.

“It’s a promise. You know I always love testing my limits for my opponents.”

If you make a promise, you keep it.

Juza pulled back first, as he always did. Standing up, Juza paid the bill generously with his excessive Mora. The words “goodbye” left a spicy taste on his tongue, so Juza refused to say them. You two held each other’s gaze for a moment too long, but didn’t mention it.

“I’m sorry for leaving you so soon.”

If you make a mistake, you apologize.

You didn’t react immediately, you just nodded as if it was okay. It wasn’t, really. You both knew Juza’s sudden departure was shrouded in unknown mystery. Neither of you had the courage to properly address it, however.

“But, I’ll see you again. I promised, didn’t I?” Juza began walking away, knowing he was due to leave and run far, far away to his next assignment. Liyue had no place for him anymore. Even when the stars of Teyvat claimed there would always be a place for adventurers, Juza wasn’t so sure if they meant him as well.

All you wanted to do was run after him. Sprint towards Juza and make him stay, even though he never would. You wanted to stand up and weave through the crowds to see his back one last time. But, you didn’t. You didn’t want to make this harder on yourself than it already was.

Before Juza disappeared for a long, long time, he looked over his shoulder with a wave.

“Farewell, my friends. Until we meet again... in Snezhnaya.”

If you give someone a dream, you defend it ‘til the end.

👻, 🤜, 👍

prompt. | @magstus

👻- Genuinely? Its been a hot minute, I want to say years. He’s not dead inside but he’s very in-charge of himself if that makes sense. So for him to feel genuinely shaken to his very soul kind of fear is extremely difficult to achieve in general. There’s some thoughts here and there that do make him feel like not extremely scared but more of a concerned type of feeling and that’s the loss of his authority and power and being reduced to being like everybody else since he believes him to be better.

🤜- It depends on what and who. For example the safety of the Tsaritsa is a huge concern for him but then there’s lets say another harbinger which he can’t really bother himself with concerning himself over unless he has to or it becomes a conflict of interest. He has the ability of being extremely or not at all and, again, it really all depends on how he feels towards said thing/person and what him feeling a certain way towards them/it will do for him or it will not do for him. It goes back to what I mentioned in the prior section that he’s really in-charge of himself and how he handles his things and relationships which is funny as well because he can feel deeply. But all of that comes from years of perfecting his acting. It goes back to him being a good actor.

👍- Good traits....... ..awraxawraxa. Okay, he’s a performer, he likes music. He has manners, it is something that’s instilled in him, it isn’t something he made up, he has good manners. He’s charming, I know it’s eXTREMELY DIFFICULT to see it cause of how much of a dick he can be/is but he’s a charming individual below all of that fakeness and brutishness. As mentioned in the prior section he is and can be genuinely overprotective it depends on how he feels, the person, and the situation. He CAN be loyal, he knows how to be loyal. He has a pretty smile?? (Can you tell I’m slowly running out of things awraxawraxa) AT LEAST I THINK HIS SMILES ARE PRETTY AND SOFT MINUS THE FAKENESS SO IT COUNTS. It doesn’t seem like it but he is upfront, albeit with his own little twists and conditions and vagueness but he is an upfront individual. He is powerful and mighty. He’s disciplined, for example in the event when he strung on the traveler and Mona a bit about his findings but then immediately cut it off cause he has things to do. He’s a leader, he has qualities of one, perhaps the power part down pat but he still has that. In the scenario he’s to get a partner he’s a very passionate partner. He can feel deeply. He has a sense of humor I guess it counts a bit. He’s an analytical individual, for example when Mona foiled his assassination attempt he didn’t quickly dismiss what took place and began to ponder and wonder where he might have gone wrong, why this happened, who was she, how did she know, things along those lines. He takes advantage of opportunities and chances when they appear and he notices them and yeah..... ..I mean he’s good looking too he’s got that going for him as well.
