KazuScara

KazuScara is the slash ship between Kaedehara Kazuha and Scaramouche from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Kazuha and Scaramouche have not met in canon yet, but they both are vagrants from Inazuma. They don't have many other similarities. And since they're considered to be the opposites by their personalities.

Fanon
Kazuscara originated from Kazuha leaks. Because Kazuha is from Inazuma, fans immediately speculated that he knew Scaramouche. They initially became popular due to being an aesthetically pleasing duo. They also were the first two male Inazuma characters to be leaked. Because there was no information on Kazuha's personality at the time, he was interpreted as having a gentle personality to contrast Scaramouche, which later turned out to be true.

The ship grew in popularity as more people discovered the theory that they were old friends. With Kazuha being described as a kind soul while Scaramouche is said to be difficult to get along with, they were shipped romantically by fans of the Opposites Attract trope. A lot of fanart portrayed Scaramouche being uncharacteristically caring towards Kazuha. There is also a good amount of platonic fanart.

Much fan content prior to Kazuha's release consisted of them wanting to reunite after being separated somehow. This included theories that Kazuha left Inazuma to search for Scaramouche. One theory that gained some traction was that the drifting bottles in Dragonspine were from Kazuha and Scaramouche to each other. The theory about the drifting bottles in dragonspine was later proved to be false, as an NPC in Inazuma talks about sending those letters to another person. Although this theory is false, fans still enjoy using this as a prompt or inspiration for fan content.

Though it could be considered a rarepair, there is a lot of content of the ship. Since people see them as old friends, there is a lot of potential for fanworks. There are currently 290+ works on AO3.

Kazuha's release essentially disproved all theories, as there is no mention of Scaramouche or anyone who could be him in Kazuha's stories and voicelines. Though it's possible they could have met in passing at some point, there is no substantial relationship to speak of. Despite this KazuScara has remained a common ship. Fans still enjoy their potential together and create canon divergence scenarios in which Kazuha and Scaramouche meet.
