ArleScara is the het ship between Arlecchino and Scaramouche from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Canon[]
Arlecchino appears first during A Winter Night's Lazzo alongside the other Harbingers. Although both Arlecchino and Scaramouche are Fatui Harbingers, they have never interacted on-screen as such. Arlecchino is the Fourth Harbinger, ranking her above Scaramouche, as he was the Sixth. Scaramouche was present when she officially became the Knave, succeeding Crucabena. As Wanderer, he meets with Arlecchino and Sandrone in Nod-Krai in order to obtain more information about Il Dottore. Wanderer is familiar with them, but due to him erasing his past self from Irminsul, for the Harbingers it is their first time meeting him. Arlecchino remarks that Wanderer seems quite familiar with with internal Fatui affairs, particularly about Dottore. Wanderer does not respond to this, instead simply thanking the Harbingers for the information and excusing himself.
In Scaramouche's voiceline about the Knave as a wolf in sheep's clothing, putting on a graceful and cordial front in order to have more control over them. He also says that anyone who has seen her 'True Self' has gone 'poof'.
Both share cunning and mysterious traits, as both have grand schemes, and have a manipulative nature. Their backstories also have many parallels, such as both having varying degrees of issues with their mothers, Scaramouche being abandoned, and Arlecchino being lonely after Clervie's death. However, they have a large contrast in their speaking mannerisms, Scaramouche, sick of being lied to, is generally blunt and unapologetic with his words, meanwhile Arlecchino prefers to use that graceful mask and clever word choices, making for an interesting dynamic between the no-bullshit guy and the polite, well-spoken woman.
Scaramouche also has a lot of connections to fire and longing, serving for some more connections between the two.[1]
Arlecchino and Scaramouche both like bitter tea, although Arlecchino does seem to have a mild liking for sweets, while Scaramouche does not.
Fanon[]
By Wanderer's voice-line about the Knave, assuming that it in fact refers to Arlecchino and not her predecessor, Arlecchino was at least cordial to Scaramouche, even if superficial. However, many think it likely that Scaramouche would be one of the Harbingers Arlecchino was a genuinely kinder to, especially if she knew his past. With Arlecchino's experience running the House of the Hearth and softness for children, she would be perceptive and understanding of the way Scaramouche acts. She had a troubled upbringing of her own, and as such, Scaramouche and Arlecchino could possibly find it easy to sympathize with each other due to the similar difficulties in their life.
Fans anticipated Arlecchino and Scaramouche meeting in Nod-Krai due their hatred towards Dottore and potentially aligned goals. This became true with their brief interaction in the Luna III Archon Quest.
In the fandom, ArleScara is not a very popular ship, being overshadowed by their other popular ships such as Arlebina and Arlefuri on Arlecchino's side, and ScaraLumi, and KazuScara on Scaramouche's side.
