A[]
- Always Save the Girl
- Scaramouche saved Lumine’s life in the Interlude quest. Wanderer saved Lumine's life once again 2 times in the Summertides Scales and Tales: Page III, "Until the End of the World."
- Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other
- Lumine shows concern to him even when they we're still enemies by warning him that even if he manages to fully become a god, he might not remain the same and asks if he would still want to become a god if it meant losing himself. To which Scaramouche, in response, remarks that her words almost make her seem like a friend who cares.
- Affectionate Nickname
- Wanderer calls Lumine "Sunshine".
- All Girls Want Bad Boys
- Scaramouche when he's a Fatui Harbinger before.
B[]
- Beneath the Mask
- Wanderer acts more differently when he's alone with Lumine, which many fans was surprised that he actually talks a lot when he's alone with her, and the fact that his tone is not snarky and rude but rather soft and gentle.
- Birds of a Feather
- Due to their parallels and similarities.
- Bridal Carry
- In "Summertide Scales and Tales: Page III", it is heavily stated that Wanderer carried Lumine to set her down on Nilou's lap.
C[]
- Commonality Connection
- Wanderer and Lumine share many parallels and similarities, yet sometimes they also have contrasting qualities at times. One example is; Wanderer doesn't like sweets (especially dangos) while Lumine loves sweets (she is always depicted in official arts eating dangos).
- Conflicting Loyalty
- In Wanderer's Birthday Mail 2025, he admits that he'd rather spend his time with Lumine than play cards with Sethos and Cyno.
D[]
- Declaration of Protection
- In the Original Chinese and Korean version translation of Wanderer's «Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion"», he tells Lumine something along the lines of: “Although I can be your ally, viewing me as your companion is a dangerous thing to do. I hope you understand what you're dealing with. If you're not afraid, then stand behind me.” In this line, Wanderer is warning Lumine about the risks of relying on him too much, yet in the end, he says, “If you're not scared, then stand behind me,” which means that despite his warning, he is willing to protect her from any danger if she really chooses to trust him.
- Desperately Craves Affection
- In Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V - Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises, there's a moment when Scaramouche suddenly appears startlingly close to Lumine, catching her off guard with his sudden proximity. They hold each others hands twice: first, when he establishes a telepathic connection by taking her hand, and second when he asks Lumine to hold his hand on her birthday to take her to a vantage point.
- Devoted to You
- Wanderer refused to celebrate his birthday with anyone, insisting he didn’t want to spend time with others. However, when Nahida suggested he at least visit Lumine and bring her a gift, he surprisingly agreed. This revealed that, no matter how much he claims to hate everyone, he was willing to make an exception for her. Wanderer also once said that he’s not the kind of person to “hold hands” and dance with everyone. Yet, in truth, he is the kind of person who would hold hands—but only with Lumine. In Wanderer's birthday letter 2025, Wanderer really knows both Cyno and Sethos but considers them strangers. Despite their insistence on playing TCG with him, Wanderer openly states he'd rather spend time with "Lumine" than play cards with "strangers" like them.
- Divine Date
- ScaraLumi counts as the trope of "Divine Date" because Wanderer, originally known as Scaramouche, is a prototype puppet created by the Electro Archon, Raiden Ei, who is a god-like being in the Genshin Impact universe. This connection to a deity adds a unique dynamic to their relationship, as Lumine interacts with someone who has direct ties to divine lineage and power. Meanwhile, Lumine is a star descending from another world.
E[]
- Eternal Love
- Wanderer and Lumine's long lifespans often involve in creating works with the theme of eternity.
- Everyone Can See It
- In his birthday letter 2023, he mentions that Lesser Lord Kusanali (Nahida) understands that he doesn't like being around others, but being alone all the time can be very painful, so she said that he could at least see Lumine if he brings anything with him on his birthday, to which the Wanderer surprisingly agreed when she requested this. In Wanderer's Birthday 2023 (Teyvat Food Notes), he says that Lesser Lord Kusanali gave him the day off on his day, but the price is to follow Lumine.
F[]
- Flowers of Romance
- In the Official illustration of Wanderer, he gave Lumine a Sumeru Rose. In Wanderer's Birthday Mail (2024), he gifted Lumine a 3 Padisarah and 3 Nilotpala Lotus.
- Forgotten First Meeting
- Scaramouche erases his existence from Irminsul, hoping to grant a second chance to those who perished in Tatarasuna because of him. The world forgets his existence entirely—except for Lumine, who still remembers everything. As she travels through Inazuma, she learns the painful truth: his sacrifice was for naught, as the past remained unchanged despite his erasure. Fate, however, leads her back to him. One day, standing at a fruit stand, Lumine sees him again. Yet this time, his memories are gone, leaving no trace of their shared past. His attire is different, and the sharp, guarded demeanor she once knew has been replaced by kindness and sincerity. For him, it is a new beginning, a chance encounter with a stranger. For her, it is a bittersweet reunion with someone she once knew deeply—a forgotten first meeting that she will never forget.
G[]

While Lumine does the opposite, on Wanderer's birthday post 2025, she gave him a handmade gift as a present. The gift depicted him looking annoyed or angry, clearly meant to tease him. In response, Wanderer questioned her, asking if this is really how she sees him.

In doing so, the world forgets him entirely—except for Lumine, who inexplicably retains her memories of him. As she continues her journey through Inazuma, Lumine uncovers a heartbreaking truth: despite his noble sacrifice, his attempt to change fate was ultimately in vain, as those who had suffered remained beyond saving. Even so, the bond between them persists, unbroken by time or the erasure of his existence. One day, Lumine visits Grand Bazaar to clear her thoughts. While reflecting, she recalls Greater Lord Rukkhadevata saying no one can fully erase themselves from existence, not even her. As she begins to wonder about Scaramouche’s fate, Lumine’s gaze falls upon him at a fruit stand. He appears changed—his attire is humble, and his once sharp, sarcastic demeanor has softened into a gentle, kind presence. Though he doesn’t recognize her, the unspoken connection between them remains, as if tied by an invisible red string that refuses to be severed, no matter the circumstances.

What makes it even more fascinating is that Lumine has met all of his different sides — the outward masks he wears, his festering negativity, his sorrow, his fury, and the deep emptiness beneath it all. She's seen him at his worst, but she's also seen him grow and change.
