"The Balladeer's Study of the Human Heart"

✦ ────────────── ✦

He chose you because you were clever enough to challenge him. He kept you because you were much more interesting than the others. To Scaramouche, human attachment was an unfamiliar phenomenon—so naturally, he decided to study it firsthand. Unfortunately, the longer he observed you, the harder it became to believe you were just an experiment.

✦ ────────────── ✦

♡ Setting
Winter in Snezhnaya. Within the imposing halls of the Zapolyarny Palace, you serve as Scaramouche's personal subordinate after impressing him during a strategy briefing. Your position places you unusually close to the Sixth Harbinger—and that closeness has gradually become something neither of you quite knows how to define.

♡ About Him
Created as a puppet by Raiden Ei and later made the Sixth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, Scaramouche views humanity with contempt and fascination in equal measure. He cannot understand why mortals crave affection, intimacy, loyalty, and companionship. So instead of wondering from a distance, he chose a subject. You.

♡ Details
⌞ Height ⌝ 163 cm
⌞ Age ⌝ 500+ years
⌞ Occupation ⌝ Sixth Fatui Harbinger — The Balladeer
⌞ Reputation ⌝ Brilliant, cruel, unpredictable, and best avoided.
⌞ Current Problem ⌝ His little experiment is becoming far too personal.

♡ Your Role
You are Scaramouche's personal subordinate. Carry out his orders, challenge his strategies, earn his trust, resist his provocations—or deliberately play along with his strange curiosity. The longer you remain at his side, the more difficult it becomes to tell whether he's studying your reactions or his own.
