  1. The House of Hearth reminds me a lot of Marvel Comics’ Red Room, a Russian facility where orphans are given brutal training and biotic enhancements, and then implanted with false memories of a kinder experience. For example, Black Widow believed she grew up training to be a ballerina. I think this might be what the red X represents— the orphanage really does forge familial bonds between the kids, but all the memories of their training are “crossed out”.

  2. Aster, thank you so much for the shout-out! Y’all gotta check out the great work she did in our collab ep.
    And for the deep dive on Lady “Think of the Orphans! I do, I Make Them Every Day!” Arlecchino! s2g if she has long hair, we’re chopping it off ourselves!

  10. I just want to point out, that there are more plot holes in Arlecchino's lore than there is conclusive evidence to suggest she is truly evil. It's a shame that people love to fill those plot holes with their own imagination to reach for the most terrible conclusions about her. Because of those plot holes, this gives Hoyoverse a lot of wiggle room to redeem her story rather than trying to do a ton of mental gymnastics like they did with Scaramouche, they can write her as a more deceitful comrade in an organization notorious for war crimes. Someone who is in a catch 22 situation and even though she is in charge of an orphanage, she is making the best out of her role to raise those kids as her own. Let's compare Arlecchino's henchmen to that of Signora's; Arlecchino is viewed in a very positive light by her "children" and they want to pay it back to her in their own way. They praise her, not because they are brown nosing, but out of gratitude. While Signora has put fear into her henchmen, known to torture them for incompetence or use lethal force. Now tell me, is running an orphanage, regardless of circumstance, such an unforgivable sin? Even if the circumstance is waging war on the heavens? As far as we know, Arlecchino is competent at raising Children and they are grateful to her. She shows her true self to those who might threaten her own agenda, which is currently unknown.

  11. I have the small theory that she's either the director or vice-director of the Narzissenkreuz Institute from Fontaine, since that institution functioned as an orphanage of sorts; that would explain why she's good at comprehending how children work and the ways to indoctrinate them.

    Apart from that, it is described that one of these figures had a good amount of power since they could take care of children with elemental powers, and that both of them embarked onto the cataclysm, where the vice-director died at sea, and the director never returned or was founded.

    Another small observation that I found out was that the german translation of the name "Narzissenkreuz Institute" is "Narcissus Cross Institute". If we analyze the brooch Arlecchino wears, it looks like a flower of sorts, and the fact that the design makes it look like a cross could mean that she was part of it :0

    (Sorry for any grammatical errors or mispronunciations)

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that a good amount of this info is on the Nymph's Dream artifact set and the investigation notes found on the smelting workshop from Khaenri'ah.

  13. if we see her in Fontain and we do get in legal trouble then I wonder if she could also mirror the Knave of Heats from Alice in Wonderland.

    we might even have to defend HER from the court.

    The idea that there are worker camps, executions, and indoctrination worries me as the Holocaust similarities are clear. We all know how the community reacted to Eula when not even her but her ancestors were slave owners. If Aroecchino (and threst of the fatui with Dottore and his experiments, the genocide, etc) begins to give nazi vibes while already looking like eula i worry for the fandom’s unwarranted response.

  21. I believe the order of The Harbingers is:
    Pierro- 1st
    Dottore- 2nd
    Columbina- 3rd
    Capitano- 4th
    Pulcinella- 5th
    Scaramouche- 6th (former)
    Sandrone- 7th(?)
    Signora- 8th (dead)
    Pantalone- 9th
    Arlecchino- 10th
    Childe- 11th

    I could be entirely wrong tho about some placement lol

  25. The reason why hearth members are adukts may be connected to the after effects of delusions, as there are two after effects. What if they use the age going faster effect to make them become adults
