Arlecchino (Genshin Impact)

Arlecchino (Chinese: 阿蕾奇諾; pinyin: Ālěiqínuò), real name Peruere Snezhevna (Chinese: 佩露薇利·雪奈茨芙娜; pinyin: Pèilùwēilì Xuěnàicífúnà), is a fictional character from the video game Genshin Impact developed by miHoYo. The character first appeared in version 4.1 of the game in 2023 and became playable in 2024. She is a member of the Fatui, the diplomatic organization of the fictional nation of Snezhnaya and one of the game's primary antagonistic factions. Within the Fatui, she holds the fourth seat among the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, under the codename The Knave (Chinese: 仆人; pinyin: Púrén; lit. 'servant'). She is also the head of the House of the Hearth, an orphanage and intelligence agency where she is regarded by the children as their "Father".

Arlecchino's name is derived from the stock character of Italian commedia dell'arte. In terms of characterization, she is portrayed as an anti-hero, embodying both righteous and villainous traits. Arlecchino is voiced by Huang Ying in Chinese, Nanako Mori in Japanese, Erin Yvette in English, and Lee Myung-hee in Korean.

Before her release as a playable character, Arlecchino had become a fan favorite for her charisma and complexity, and she was praised by critics for her visual design and characterization.
