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's 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, saying that "the stars and the sky are all gigantic hoax, a 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 bids them farewell in a rather rude way as he calls them suckers, which angers Mona. Afterwards, 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 the NPC named Aqaba about Raiden Gokkaden and became famous in Vahumana Darshan due to his writings. This made him popular enough to become their representative in events.

After joining the event, he overhears Layla and traveler's conversation about finding a certain butterfly. He asks Layla why she doesn't use astrology to find the butterfly, but Layla responds that her favorite astrologist  'The Astrologist Mona Megistus'  says that  'those who constantly use astrology to obtain things that shouldn't be theirs will eventually lose the "blessing from the stars"' , which Layla agrees with. However, Wanderer disagrees with this view, saying that she's overthinking it and that  'power is just a tool'. (A Parade of Providence - Layla and Wanderer interaction)

Fanon
ScaraMona is typically portrayed as enemies to lover throughout the majority of its fandom's work because of their history and opposing world views regarding astrology. Most people like to portray Scaramouche as being interested in Mona after the events of Unreconciled Stars, and their relationship blossoming from there.

Other ideas often seen in fanworks about them is their constant fighting and bickering, as they both have a headstrong and stubborn attitude and tend to disagree when it comes to astrology. Another idea is that Scaramouche/Wanderer will often pay for Mona's meals and other necessities since she's broke, as well as Scaramouche/Wanderer showing 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 1000+ works on AO3, as well as being the most popular ship for Mona overall. ScaraMona is the third most popular ship for Scaramouche, with KazuScara and ChiScara beating them for first and second place respectively. (The tag for Wanderer himself is not yet popularized enough to be categorized differently)

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