Scaramouche and Sandrone

Scaramuccia is the sixth of the Eleven Harbingers of Fatui. He is an artificial creation, a sentient puppet created by the Electro Archon Raiden Ei. His story is full of trauma, conflict, and transformation. Past: After the cataclysm that killed her sister Makoto, Raiden Ei resolved to achieve eternity and began preparing to transfer her consciousness to the realm of Euthymia. To do this, she needed an exact copy of herself who could assume the role of Electro the Archon and ruler of Inazuma. Ei first created a prototype—Scaramuccia. He was designed as a vessel for Electro's God Heart, but he was unable to withstand its power. When Ei saw the prototype crying in his sleep, she realized he was too "human." Ei didn't want a puppet with emotions, as that made him vulnerable, like a human. She deemed the experiment a failure and sealed Scaramucci's powers, putting him into a deep sleep. She left him a small golden ornament with six petals that would never wither. After an unknown amount of time, Scaramuccia awoke and began wandering Inazuma without a name or purpose. At some point, he met Katsuragi Nagamasa and his companions, who welcomed him into their company. They worked together to craft weapons. After the sword was created, the group rejoiced; Katsuragi and Scaramuccia even performed a dance with the new blade. Scaramuccia began to consider them comrades and family. However, Katsuragi was later executed by Inspector Mikoshi, and another of his comrades died trying to save a melted weapon Scaramuccia had thrown into a furnace. These events fueled Scaramuccia's rage and thirst for revenge. He destroyed five Raiden Gokaden schools, but later distanced himself from vengeance. He then took the name Kunikuzushi. Injuries; Scaramucci has several key injuries:

• Betrayal of the creator. Raiden Ei rejected him, considering him a failed experiment, which Scaramuccia perceived as a betrayal. He considered Ei not only his creator, but also his mother. Losing friends.

• The death of Katsuragi Nagamasa and another comrade was a blow to him, which provoked a thirst for revenge.

• Feelings of Inadequacy: As a doll, Scaramuccia wondered, "What would it be like to have a heart?" He felt incomplete without emotions and sought understanding of human feelings.

Position and activities in Fatui At some point, Scaramuccia encountered Fatui. The organization invited him to join their ranks. After being attuned by Dottore, Scaramuccia became the sixth Harbinger, codenamed "Scaramuccia."

Scaramuccia himself is the 6th harbinger of Fatui.

Scaramucci also has good character traits in addition to the bad ones:

1. Intelligence and strategic thinking

was able to rise to the 6th Harbinger of Fatui - this requires intelligence, cunning and calculation;

understands complex mechanisms and technologies (including Shoki no Kami);

knows how to calculate the actions of opponents and develop multi-move plans.

2. Willpower and perseverance

survived many traumas (Eya's abandonment, the boy's death, Dottore's experiments), but did not break;

consciously accepted painful memories of the past in order to become a whole person.

3. Directness and honesty (in a certain form)

although his directness is often abrupt, he is not prone to senseless hypocrisy;

says what he thinks, even if it is unpleasant for others.

4. Self-awareness and reflection

I asked myself questions about my own nature: “What does it mean to be alive?”, “Do I have a soul?”

He was aware of his artificiality, but he strove to overcome his limitations.

I analyzed my emotions (or lack thereof) and tried to understand what makes a person human.

5. Devotion (in a specific form)

Initially, he was genuinely attached to Eya, his creator. He viewed her as a mother figure and sought her approval.

During his life in Tatarasuna, he showed gratitude and affection for people who treated him with kindness (for example, Niva).

He valued moments of warmth and understanding, although he did not always know how to express it. (But only in the past, later he lost trust in people and it is extremely difficult to gain his appreciation)

6. Self-esteem

He did not accept humiliation or attempts to manipulate him.

He defended the right to autonomy, even if it led to conflicts.

He rejected the role of a puppet - he wanted to be a subject, not an object.

7. Curiosity

Was interested in the world, people, their emotions and motives.

I observed those around me, trying to understand how humanity works.

He strove for knowledge that could help him find himself.

8. Courage and willingness to take risks

He challenged powerful opponents (including Ei herself) to achieve freedom.

Ignored danger when it came to achieving his goals.

He was ready to go against the system (Fatui, Inazuma) if it brought him closer to independence.

9. Self-irony

Sometimes he demonstrated a subtle sense of humor, including in relation to himself.

He used sarcasm as a defense mechanism, but behind it he sometimes hid an awareness of his own contradictions.

10. Creative potential

He created complex mechanisms and structures (for example, elements of Shoki no Kami).

Demonstrated ingenuity in solving problems by combining magic and engineering.

Scaramuccia is a doll created by Electro Archon Raiden Ei as a prototype for the "eternal shogun" Inazuma.

Originally named "Kunikuzushi"

He was designed with emotions and self-awareness, unlike other Ei dolls, which became the source of his internal conflicts.

More about his character: Duality of nature: combines cold calculation with deep emotional wounds. His cynicism is a defense mechanism.

He hates being a puppet: rebellion against fate and his creators is the key motive behind his actions.

Sarcastic and caustic, he often insults his interlocutors, but this reflects his distrust of the world.

Also:

After being rejected, Ei left Inazuma and joined Fatui, becoming the Sixth Harbinger.

In Fatui he received a new name, Scaramuccia, and also a code name (The Storyteller)

Scaramucci's attitude towards other people:

1. Ei (Raiden): a complex "creator-creature" bond. Hates her for rejecting him, but subconsciously seeks recognition.

2. Dottore (2nd harbinger): despises for experiments, but was forced to cooperate. Extremely negative. Dottore experimented on Scaramucca, attempting to enhance his artificial abilities.

Scaramuccia despises Dottore for his inhumanity and manipulativeness.

At the same time, he recognizes his intelligence and strength, but tries to keep his distance.

Their relationship is one of mutual wariness: Dottore sees Scaramucca as an interesting subject for study.

3. The people of Tatarasuna: the only time he felt a sense of community. Their memory haunts him and influences his decisions.

4. Niva: a man who showed him kindness. This episode showed Scaramuccia was capable of affection.

5. Pulcinella (5th harbinger): Formally respectful, but with disdain. Pulcinella supervised Scaramuccia as a junior in rank.

Scaramuccia considered him a bureaucrat and a pedant who valued rules over power and ambition.

He tolerated his instructions, but in his heart he mocked his approach to business.

6. Capitano (1 harbinger): Complex. Capitano was one of the few Harbingers whom Scaramuccia respected, though he didn't openly show it.

He recognized his strength, discipline, and principles—qualities he himself valued but did not always demonstrate.

However, their paths rarely crossed, and there was almost no direct cooperation.

7. Pierrot (leader of the harbingers) Cautious and calculating, Scaramuccia understood that Piero was the architect of the entire Fatui structure, and it was dangerous to underestimate him.

He classified him as a “manipulator of the highest order,” but acknowledged his genius.

I interacted with him only when necessary, trying not to give out unnecessary information.

8. Tartaglia (11th harbinger): Mockingly dismissive. Scaramuccia considered Tartaglia too straightforward and impulsive.

I perceived his thirst for battle and demonstrative cruelty as childish bravado.

In dialogues, he openly mocks Tartaglia, calling him "short-sighted."

9. Signora (8th harbinger): Neutral-wary. They rarely interacted directly.

Scaramuccia saw her as an ambitious and calculating figure, but considered her too dependent on politics and image.

He didn't feel any sympathy for her, but he didn't consider her a threat either.

10. Sandrone (7th Harbinger): Attitude: wary and arrogant.

Why: He knew she was fascinated by mechanical research and technology, but he considered them "toys" compared to his philosophical quest for identity. He saw her as a fanatic, fixated on one idea.

11. Columbine (3rd harbinger): Attitude: openly dismissive. Scaramuccia directly calls her "stupid, callous, and ignorant." He likely considered her naive and incapable of strategic thinking.

12. Harlequin (4 harbinger):

He saw her as another “fanatical of his role” and kept aloof.

13. Pantaloon (9th harbinger):

Scaramuccia treated Pantalone with open disdain and even a certain amount of contempt. In his eyes, Pantalone was:

"money bag" whose value was limited to wealth and economic connections;

down-to-earth and boring - in contrast to those who strove for power, strength or philosophical discoveries;

a person dependent on the system (Fatui), not a free player.

Sandrone is the seventh of the Eleven Harbingers of Fatui, serving under the Queen in Snow. Her codename is Puppet. Her primary duties are:

management of the Experimental Design Bureau of Kuuvakhki (Northern Region); research and modification of automatons (including those created in the fallen kingdom of Kaenri'ah); creation of intelligent mechanisms (for example, Katerina, the secretary of the Adventurers' Guild); work on automation and improvement of Fatui technologies . She participated in key events of the plot, including Signora's funeral and the Battle of Nod's End. She died in Chapter 8 of "Song of the Hollow Moon" at the hands of Dottore, but her core remained intact—theoretically, it could be restored. .

2. Character

Sandrone is a contradictory character with distinct traits:

Withdrawn and unsociable: has almost no contact with other Harbingers, immersed in research. Arrogance and irritability: she reacts sharply to interruptions and disdains those who distract her from her work. Example: her remark at Signora's funeral—"How absurd!"—reflects her indifference to the situation. A cold facade with hidden caring (hinedere archetype): hiding true feelings behind sarcasm. Stubbornness and determination: insists on his ideas, even if they seem absurd to others. Indifference to power and money: Unlike other Harbingers, she is not interested in politics or wealth - only science . 3. Attitude towards other Harbingers

Sandrone is not popular among colleagues:

Tartaglia (Childe): He finds her extremely unpleasant to deal with. Their meetings are always stressful for Tartaglia. Narrator (Scaramuccia): criticizes his scientific achievements, calls his character "terrible" and puts his rank higher. Arlecchino: Indifferent to Sandrona, as she rarely appears in public and is completely absorbed in her research. Columbine: The only one who shows interest in the Marionette. She tries to understand her character and maintains contact (they have shared tea parties with Signora and the other Harbingers). Dottore (Il Dottore): Sandrone's antagonist . 4. Hobbies

Sandrone's main interests:

The study of ancient robots (especially Kaenri'ah technology). Creation and modification of automatons (including combat and research robots, such as Pulonia, her constant companion). Tea Parties (with Columbine and other Harbingers). Drawing and writing (mentioned in the lore as one of her hobbies). Scientific experiments - her life is completely devoted to research . 5. Good character traits

Genius: high intelligence, deep knowledge of mechanical engineering and technology. Dedication: willing to sacrifice everything for science (including her own safety). Responsibility: Takes his duties in Fatui seriously. Courage: not afraid to stand up to even powerful colleagues (for example, Dottore). Care (in hidden form): shows attention to Pulonia and his other creations . 6. Bad character traits

Egoism: puts one's own research above the interests of the organization and colleagues. Intolerance: reacts sharply to criticism and interference. Arrogance: considers his ideas to be the only correct ones. Emotionlessness: indifferent to the feelings of others, including colleagues.
