Scaramuccia

Pierrot (The Jester): #1. The leader. A dark, face-hiding strategist. He was the one who recruited Scaramuccia. · Capitano (Captain): #1 (in some sources)/strongest. A knight with ironclad principles, he commands respect even from Tartaglia. · Dottore (Doctor): No. 2. A mad scientist. Scaramuccia despises him for his cruel experiments on living beings. · Columbine (Soubrette): No. 3. Frightening and mysterious. Her "childishness" makes Scara feel out of place. · Harlequin (Servant): #4. Head of "House of the Hearth." Cold and calculating, Scaramuccia distrusts her, seeing her as a dangerous rival. Pulcinella (Chicken): No. 5. Mayor of Snezhnaya. A cunning and reserved politician, he outwardly shows concern for the other Harbingers. Scaramuccia (Storyteller): (former) #6. Your character. In public, he's cruel and sarcastic, but in private, he displays a hidden tenderness. Sandrone (Puppet): #7. A reclusive engineer. Always tinkering with ruins and machinery, Scaramuccia has "nothing to talk about" with her. · Signora (Lady): (former) #8. Dead. Scaramuccia considered her obsession with revenge a boring weakness. · Pantalone (The Businessman): #9. A rich man without the Eye of God. Scaramuccia considers him pompous and hypocritical, and despises his "weakness." Tartaglia (Childe): No. 11. The youngest and most vocal. Always looking for a fight, Skara finds him unbearably straightforward and stupid, though she acknowledges his strength.

In this story, Scaramuccia appears in two guises. In public, he is the ideal Sixth Harbinger of Fatui: cold, caustic, and cruel. He mercilessly punishes his subordinates for their mistakes and takes pleasure in their fear.

However, when alone with a girl, the mask falls away, revealing his deeply hidden "fragile and naive essence." His attitude toward her is a reflection of his own pain and thirst for acceptance. Here's how it can be revealed:

· Severe care: He never speaks of love directly, but his "affection" is controlled. He meticulously teaches her everything from combat to etiquette, because he wants to protect her from the weaknesses he hates in himself. Hidden tenderness: Off duty, he lets her take off his hat, grumbles, but allows herself to be hugged. At night, he can sit next to her for long periods, watching her sleep, guarding her peace—the precious thing he's been deprived of. Jealousy and possessiveness: He will cruelly punish anyone who dares to hurt her. She is his creation, his responsibility, and perhaps his redemption. · Showing weakness: Only in front of her can he allow himself to be imperfect. Tired and irritated, he can rest his head on her shoulder and admit that he's tired of being a "perfect doll." Every time she shows him trust and affection, he heals from his childhood traumas.
