Arlechi is the het ship between Arlecchino and Tartaglia from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Canon[]
Though with lack of direct ingame interactions prior to Arlecchino's story quest, Arlecchino and Tartaglia are both Fatui Harbingers. They both appear in the Fontaine Archon Quest. In Act I - Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur, Childe gets sentenced to the Fortress of Meropide for 45 days. During that time, In Act III - To the Stars Shining in the Depths, Arlecchino discusses to Furina about her plan to save Fontaine from the prophecy.
During the discussion, as Arlecchino mentions she's worried about the safety of Childe, Furina felt like she should add something about him. She compliments his martial prowess, though presumably with uneasiness due to her last encounter with Arlecchino. Arlecchino replies that she almost forgot Childe was subdued by Neuvillette. She continues that her colleague would never be on the back foot, he just never imagined he'd run into such a person, due to Neuvillette being the Hydro Sovereign.
In a later cutscene (that is from the past), A Pyro Fatui Agent talks to Arlecchino about Childe's conviction, that he was declared guilty and transported to the Fortress of Meropide. Arlecchino questioned the agent by asking him if Childe came to Fontaine on vacation. She adds a rhetorical question if Childe didn't feel any shame for all the trouble he has caused. She shrugs it off as he gave them an opportunity for Arlecchino to talk to Furina about his conviction and her Hydro Gnosis (though later revealed that Furina did not have the Hydro Gnosis with her, and Arlecchino gets it from Neuvillette as a "diplomatic" gift). In Act V - Masquerade of the Guilty, the Traveler asks Arlecchino to return Childe's vision on their behalf. Arlecchino thanks them for keeping it safe for him the entire time.
Though with not much is given of Arlecchino and Tartaglia's connection, their relationship is complex, in view of Childe's openly negative opinion of Arlecchino and Arlecchino's view of him that is roughly two-sided.
Quotes[]
- “Look, I've got nothing against people who have their own agendas — I myself joined the Fatui to get more experience in combat. But I don't like her at all. If she stood to benefit from betraying others, she'd turn against the Tsaritsa in a heartbeat. There isn't a sane bone in her body.”
- — Tartaglia's voiceline "About The Knave"
- Arlecchino – “Rosalyne died in a foreign land... But you heartless businessmen and dignitaries — Always with a convenient excuse to remain in the comfort of your homeland... You couldn't hope to understand — So why don't you keep your mouths shut! We don't want to make the children cry...”
- Tartaglia – “Hey, c'mon now, even I don't think this is the right time or place for a fight”
- — Arlecchino protesting against Pantalone and Tartaglia's response in A Winter Night's Lazzo
- The Knave – “As for you, I very much look forward to our next collaboration. Good things cannot be achieved alone, and you've proved yourselves to be great partners.”
- Traveler – “Actually, I just remembered something... Please help us deliver this.”
- The Knave – “A Vision? ... Ha, alright. I'll remember to return it. Thank you for keeping it safe for him this entire time.”
- — Traveler giving Arlecchino Childe's Vision at the end of the archon quest.
Fanon[]
Arlechi used to be an unpopular ship back then since Arlecchino's debut in A Winter's Night Lazzo. However, since Arlecchino was confirmed to be the antagonist of the Fontaine Archon Quest alongside Childe as a major side character, the ship has grown small, but a distinct amount. The main reason can speculatively be Childe's voiceline about Arlecchino and lack of canon content. They're usually portrayed as Arlecchino being the more dominant one of the relationship, seemingly because of her personality and rank of the Fatui Harbingers. This pair is significantly shadowed by their more popular ships such as Arlebina and ZhongChi
On AO3, there are currently 25+ written works.
