Arlecchino in Genshin Impact “Fatui’s harbinger and head of the Hearth House Orphanage, also known by the codename “Servant.” In this article, we will analyze all the known information about Arlekino and try to guess whether she will be a playable character, as well as what weapons and elements she may possess.
Name, image and character of Arlecchino
The name Arlekino, like the names of the other Harbingers, refers us to commedia dell'arte, or comedy masks. There Harlequin is a Male Character, a cheerful, lazy and stupid servant. In comedy, the Harlequin often thwarts his master's plans and competes with Pierrot's more serious and melancholy servant.
For the first time we see the appearance of Arlekino in the teaser "Lazzo in a winter night", where all the Harbingers commemorate the deceased Signora. There, the girl accuses her colleagues of callousness and cowardice.
In a short cut of the video, we see Harlequin wearing the typical Harbinger fur collar cape. Underneath is a black and white shirt with a red accessory. She wears a short haircut, and her white hair is set off by black streaks near her face. Of the other interesting details, it is worth noting the girl's eyes - the iris is a black circle with a red cross.
At the time of update 3.7, the Harbinger herself did not even appear in the game even as an NPC, so we can judge her mainly by the replicas of other heroes.
So, from the game characters they speak about her Tartaglia And Wanderer. Both consider her insane and say that her main goal is power, for which she is ready to betray the Queen. We find indirect confirmation of this in the conversation between Mikhail and Lyudmila - these are two diplomats of Fatui, who always stand in Mondstadt not far from the teleport. After completing the quest "Omnipresence Over Mortals", where the La Signora dies, you can overhear the conversation of diplomats: they believe that now someone more powerful can take the place of the deceased Harbinger - this is probably a hint of Harlequin.
Thus, the image of the Harbinger partly corresponds to her mask from the commedia dell'arte. While it is difficult to call her cheerful or stupid, however, like the classic Harlequin, the girl pursues her goals and is quite capable of hindering her superiors and fighting for power.
History of Arlecchino
So far, we do not know the biography of Arlekino and any details of her past. We only know that her main activity in Fatui is the education of orphans in the Hearth House. Orphans who grew up in this orphanage receive a patronymic Snezhevich or Snezhnevna.
We will learn more detailed information about Arlekino from the quest "The Replacement’s Secret" . We also meet a pupil of the Hearth House in the twilight quest "Ever an Outcast in the Forest" , and from his note we can assume how the children from the orphanage treated each other and their “Home”. In general, players meet Snezhevich and Snezhnevn every day, fighting with Fatui - all Pyro agents, magicians of tsitsins and other fighters grew up in the "House of the Hearth".
IN "Mystery of Replacement" we save Lyudochka Snezhnevna. Her mentor, Yefim, speaking of Arlekino, calls her kind, but notes that her patience is not endless. In addition, he says that Fatui's activities will help "strengthen the prestige" of Arlekino, and he is ready to take all the orphaned Inadzum people to an orphanage and raise them. Lyudochka is not satisfied with such a life, and she claims that orphans suffer.
IN "The eternal exile of the forest" our friend Alfonso turns out to be Fatui's covert agent. He tried to lead a peaceful life in the village, but during the quest we have to either kill him or expel him from the village. In any case, after we find an excerpt from the song - apparently, it was sung in a shelter. Its general meaning is that the children in the orphanage are closer to each other than real brothers and sisters, and they are ready to give their lives for their "parents" - that is, the leadership of the "House".
There is a quest in Jeht's quest chain "Make Bright the Arrows, Gather the Shields..." where we meet Orest Snezhevich. The soldier says he joined Fatui so he could pay for his sister's education at a good school. He does not want the girl to end up in the "House of the Hearth", as he does - it is not bad at all in the shelter, but Orest wishes for his sister "a worthy future."
As we can judge from all these statements, the orphanage was a real home for orphans, and the rest of the pupils became their family. However, the main goal of the House is to raise soldiers who are unlikely to have anything good in adulthood. Many of the adult members of Fatui that we meet in the story want to live peacefully and try to escape from service, but more often they still face a tragic fate. Arlekino probably has a great influence on the orphans and instills in them an attachment to her and a willingness to die in order to fulfill the mission, and only in the outside world do the orphans realize that there is another, better life.
Number Arlecchino Harbinger
There is no exact and official information about the number of Arlekino yet - in various sources you can find 4th and 10th places. Another Harbinger with an unknown number is Captaino. It can be assumed that since Capitano is one of the strongest Fatui with great authority, he is in 4th place. Harlequin, judging by the conversation of diplomats from Mondstadt, can aim at the place of the deceased eighth Harbinger, Signora - therefore, the rank of Harlequin herself is lower. However, these are only assumptions, and it is not yet possible to draw exact conclusions.
Arlecchino release date
According to the plot of the game, we can trace that in each new region we meet one of the Harbingers. According to some slivers, in the new region - Fontaine - we will see precisely Arlekino. There is information that one of Fontaine's heroes - Lynn - grew up in the Hearth House, which only confirms the speculation about the appearance of the Harbinger.
Whether Arlekino will become playable or remain just part of the plot is a separate question. Of the in-game Harbingers, only Tartaglia And Wanderer : the first one is in the zone of gray morality and is not an unequivocal antagonist, and the second one was completely reborn, discarding the past in Fatui. But the deceased La Signora did not come to any kind of truce with us, and we will no longer see her as a playable character. So the playability of Harlequin depends on her role in the story. Here the data from the slivers differ: someone claims that we should expect the release of Harbinger in one of Fontaine's patches (most likely 4.3), other - that the same tragic fate awaits her as Signora, so you won’t be able to get her into your collection.
Weapons and elements of Arlecchino
Again, there is no official information about the weapon and element wielded by Harbinger yet.
By recent leaks, Arlekino - Pyro heroine who owns one-handed sword. This really seems to be true: a sharp, quick-tempered character is quite suitable for the fire element, this is also hinted at by the red elements in the clothes and eyes of the Harbinger. Harlequins in comedies often carried a wooden one-handed sword with them, so this weapon would perfectly suit the image of a girl.
Arlecchino voice actors
Here's what we know for sure about the Harbinger, so these are the actors who will voice her in different languages:
- English – Erin Yvette
- Chinese – Huang Ying
- Korean - Lee Myung-hee
- Japanese - Nanako Mori
