ScaraMona

ScaraMona is the het ship between Mona Megistus and Scaramouche from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Unreconciled Stars (1.1 Patch)
They first met in the Unreconciled Stars event where Scaramouche greets the Traveler, Fischl, and Mona. As he greets them, he asks them if he can 'join' their conversation, although he was planning on getting rid the Traveler. Mona sensed Scaramouche’s intent to harm the Traveler, she acts quickly, escaping with the two. Scaramouche then questions about Mona and how was she able to know who he was, and then he assumes Mona's powers might show her things others might not be able to see.

After escaping, Mona then explains to the Traveler and Fischl that Scaramouche is a Fatui Harbinger. Mona continues telling the Traveler and Fischl that Scaramouche is extremely powerful, much more than how it looks. Oz, who happens to be Fischl's raven mentions about Scaramouche and Mona's powers, but Mona tells Oz that Scaramouche might be slightly much more powerful than her, but can't compete when it comes to astrology.

Mona and the Traveler then go to Pilos Peak or Musk Reef to investigate what they were finding before Scaramouche interrupted. While at Pilos Peak, Scaramouche happens to be there looking at the meteorite. Paimon notices that Scaramouche looked like he was in a dream, surprised, Mona wasn't quite sure how Scaramouche was able to free himself from the dream. Scaramouche laughs and tells Mona that just because she is powerless to do something it doesn't mean he isn't powerless, as well before telling Mona and the Traveler that they're late as he finished his research. Paimon tells Mona and the Traveler that this was a dirty trick organized by the Fatui, Scaramouche tells Mona and the Traveler that he'll come for them when he's ready. Mona asks Scaramouche if he entered the dream and how much does he know about Leonard, confused, Scaramouche even questions who Leonard was.

Scaramouche then tells Mona and the Traveler that instead he found something which was more terrifying. Which he explains that the stars and the sky are lie. This made Mona curious and asked him what was he talking about. Paimon then asked Scaramouche if he was trying to have an astrological debate with Mona. He then laughs at Paimon's comment telling them that Mona is naive and he also doesn't believe "the stars and sky weren't a lie" until a few moments after freeing himself from the dream. Mona still questions him about what he means by that but Scaramouche says that he doesn't have the time for chit-chat. Scaramouche then decided to leave and bid them farewell in a rather rude way as he called them suckers, which in fact angers Mona. Afterward, Mona fights the Fatui and after winning the fight she proceeds to call Scaramouche a scumbag. She traces back to what he meant by the stars and sky are a lie as she noticed Scaramouche was shaken, and doesn't believe Scaramouche was lying as she was taught to talk about the false sky in astrology readings.

During The "Inversion of Genesis" (3.3 Patch), after the reformed Scaramouche removed himself from Irminsul, It's unconfirmed whether Mona's memories of him in Unreconciled Stars were erased or not.

A Parade of Providence (3.6 Patch)
After "Inversion of Genesis", Scaramouche changed his name to Wanderer or [any name that players gave him]. He joined Nahida to become a spy for her and became a citizen of Sumeru. While becoming a citizen of Sumeru, he wrote an essay to refute Aqaba's points about Raiden Gokkaden and became famous in Vahumana Darshan due to his writings then he is popular enough to become their representative in events.

After became one of representative,he overheard Layla and traveler's conversation and asking about astrology, seemingly interested in the field and have high opinion about it (he thinks the people who research the star have extraordinary abilities and astrology is useful). He asking about Layla to just use astrology instead to make her task easier but Layla said she agreed with what The Astrologist Mona Megistus said about there's a limit to use astrology and won't use it. Wanderer disagreed with Mona's views, said that Layla is just overthinking since he thinks astrology is just a tool, he further said Mona's views is naive and left. Traveler said that Wanderer only have different views, implying the possibility that Wanderer and Mona might have different views as well.

Lore
Now that Scaramouche is playable as Wanderer, there are a lot of lore that indirectly made them connected. In The "Inversion of Genesis" after lost to traveler and Nahida in Archon Quest, Wanderer was getting treated by Nahida and Nahida told him to guide traveler inside the irminsul due to him still have power to access it. In that place, Scaramouche was getting the whole truth about his past. Scaramouche, seemingly took a hit of his mistake, trying to change the past by using Irminsul but ended up failed to the point of having to accept his fate and learn that "fate cannot be changed". This is also what Mona said in her profile story with the same conclusion as Wanderer that "fate cannot be changed". His changes to Irminsul also, inviting one of powerful Hexenzirkel member, Nicole and Mona's master called Barbeloth is also a part of Hexenzirkel. Hexenzirkel is also a powerful organization of powerful witches doing Irminsul investigation.

Fanon
ScaraMona is mostly portrayed as an enemies to lovers type ship throughout the fandom, as one is a Fatui Harbinger, and one is the friend of the Traveler, There are a lot of HC that Scaramouche is interested in Mona after the event of Unreconciled Stars and both are slowly having affection of each other. But After 3.3, Scaramouche having huge shift of alignment and having huge character development, in the end joining Nahida & Traveler's side. Furthermore that his old identity as "Scaramouche" was erased so Mona might not remember him at all and they are no longer enemies.

Other ideas often seen in fanworks about them is their constant fighting and bickering, Scaramouche often paying for Mona's meals and other necessities, and Scaramouche's uncharacteristic kindness towards Mona, when he's said to be rude towards everyone else.

They don’t interact much during or beyond the Unreconciled Stars event but they are surprisingly a popular ship even without much interaction. It is the most popular het ship for both Mona Megistus and Scaramouche at the moment, with over 900+ works on AO3, it is also one of the biggest ship of Scaramouche and the biggest ship of Mona. The only ship coming close being ChiScara and KazuScara.

Scaramona Week is from April 22nd to the 29th.
