ScaraMona

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

Unreconciled Stars
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 and Fischl, and 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 not exhausted. 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 angers Mona and asks him what was he talking about. Paimon then asks Scaramouche if he was trying to have an astrological debate with Mona. He then laughs at Paimon's comment telling them that he didn't believed the stars and sky weren't a lie until a few moments after freeing himself from the dream. Mona questions about what he means by a few moments ago before being told by Scaramouche he doesn't have the time. Scaramouche tells the two and Paimon farewell in a rather rude way as he called them suckers, which in fact angers Mona even more. Afterward, Mona fights the Fatui and after 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.

Fanon
ScaraMona is mostly portrayed as an enemies to lovers type ship throughout the fandom, as most fanfictions exhibit them having a toxic relationship, (as one is a Fatui Harbinger, and one is the friend of the Traveler, the one Scaramouche is supposed to kill), before Scaramouche's hardened shell is cracked by his affection for Mona. Non-fans of this ship might find this ship rather abusive due to Scaramouche having a 'mean' personality.

Other ideas often seen in fan works 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 he knows other than the Tsaritsa.

They don’t interact much during or beyond the Unreconciled Stars event, thus, making this a surprisingly popular ship even without much interaction.

It is the most popular ship for both Mona Megistus and Scaramouche at the moment, with over 450 works on AO3, the only ship coming close being ChiScara. Though it is surprising that a het ship has beaten a slash ship in popularity, it may be due to the fact that we don't know much about Scaramouche, as he is only speculated to be a playable character in the future.

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