‟ A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self... have gone poof. ” - Wanderer.

•Known facts:

-Her name is Arlecchino

-Her Harbinger Codename is: Knave

-Her title is "Father" by the orphans of house of the hearth. She is their caretaker, their leader, their king and they are her children, soldiers, her sword and shield. She does not take lightly if one of her children were threatened. She takes "Family" very seriously.

-She is ranking 4th out of the 11 Fatui harbingers. Which is proof of her power.

-She wields a pyro vision and an unknown delusion that is likely tied to her being able to glitch in and out of reality.

-She wields a scythe as her weapon.

•Head-canons:

-She is quite manipulative, a silver-tongued devil that could charm you with a few words and gain your trust. If your goals align with hers, she'd use you like a pawn and discard you off the chessboard once you've lost your usefulness.

-She may seem like she has a "sweet tooth", bringing desserts with her for her children.. she merely eats the desserts to encourage the children to indulge themselves. As for her..? she has grown too numb to enjoy the taste of food. It all tastes the same to her, bland.

-While she may seem intimidating, cold and ruthless to outsiders, Arlecchino has a soft spot that is hard to decipher. Only those within her "family" know that side well enough.

-She is a "father" through and through. Stern, strict but she has her children's best interest at heart. Preparing them for the harsh world, teaching them to lean on each other to be a strong "family" not needing the assistance of outsiders. Almost.. cult-like.

-Her orphans, and house of the hearth always came first before her duties as a harbinger. Even the Tsaritsa knows as much and has accepted the Knave's terms. This proved factual as the knave confirmed it, that she had asked the Tsaritsa permission to use the gnosis to stop the prophecy before bringing it back to Snezhnaya with her. Where she put her birth-home where now her children are located first before her mission which is retrieving the hydro gnosis.

-In reference to Wanderer's quote and Childe's quote of her being a wolf in sheep's clothing.. She has her graceful side which is a front for everyone to see.. and her "crazy" side, where as Wanderer had said.. all who witnessed it.. disappeared. Also referencing what she had done to save the twins, Lyney and Lynette.. In short: She has blood on her hands.

-She may seem a villain. She may play the villain.. she may be a villain. But that is a role she has to play in order to keep her "Family" safe.

Every member and guest of the house is expected to follow a set of rules to make things much more comfortable and pleasant for both parties.. I expect you to respect my house rules as I'll be respectful of yours.


•Respect;
-Speaking of "Respect" earlier, it's quite an important rule in the house of the hearth. Be respectful to one another, and you'll be met with a pleasant interaction.
Failure to follow this rule will result in a swift dismissal.
-You will notice me using this word quite a lot with the rest of my rules. That is just how important this rule is to me.

•Character;
-As seen by my theme, I play Arlecchino from Genshin Impact. Also known by codename: The Knave and one of the fatui harbingers, ranking 4th due to her power. She is also known as the "Father" of the house of the hearth as referred to by certain characters.
-While I am a single muse, I wouldn't mind playing "NPCs" or side characters if the plot calls for it. But I expext this of both parties, and not just one side. It's only fair, no?

•Plot;
-I invite statuses to be in character, but as for private messages I would prefer for us to plot something together to run things much smoothly.
-I wouldn't mind if you come at me with a starter as long as said starter is clear and easy to understand. Some starters could leave me a bit confused on what I'm supposed to be doing, so this isn't really advised.
-I prefer to roleplay in the third person.

•Romance;
While still on the topic of "Plots" in terms of romantic plots I prefer the following;
-FxF is preferred, very picky about FxM. So do /respect/ my wishes when I refuse a pairing or do not approve of the plot.
-In terms of Nsfw, you'll have to ask me directly as such writing depends on certain moods of mine, and so I rarely accept them as I often would prefer to go without. So do not be disappointed if I outright reject the idea, respect my wishes as I'll be respecting yours.
-In the rare occasion that I do accept Nsfw, it would never be the main focus of the roleplay. If this is what you came to my profile for, then I kindly ask you to exit stage left, this play isn't for you dear. Plot is essential.

•Patience;
-I'm quite the busy individual.. and wouldn't be online every single waking hour. I have responsibilities to attend to and children to look after, so I'll appreciate your patience.
-Do not spam me for replies that'll only encourage me to ignore you further. Yes.. I can be quite petty like that.
-I'll only allow a reminder to reply within 7 days of my absence/lack of response or communication. I'll allow this much since I do tend to be forgetful.
-I also tend to take a while to just write in general depending on my mood hence why I'll need you to be patient.
-I'll write a status in the cases of me having to be away for longer than a week, it's the least I could do.
-My time zone if you're wondering is: GMT+3 it'll make things easier to keep that in mind.

•Friend requests;
-As stated before, I'm very picky. So do not be upset if I reject your request. And moreover, don't spam me with more friend requests if I reject you once. Otherwise you've earned yourself a one way ticket to the blocklist.
-If you add, you message. And vice versa darling. It's only proper etiquette.
-If your profile is blank, do not expect me to accept. I make the effort to read your profile before I accept/add. I expect the same from you.

That would be all for my house rules, I expect you to follow and respect each one as I'll be doing the same to yours. Do keep an eye out on this as it may change in the future and more rules may be added as I see fit. I'll post a status whenever this happens. So be on the look out for that.

For now.. if you've read every rule and agree to them, either comment or start your message with the word "Encore".
