Genshin Impact Animated short reveals Arlecchino's real name and more official lore

Genshin Impact has released a new animated short titled The Song Burning in the Embers, featuring the upcoming playable character, Arlecchino. The animation briefly shares information about The Knave's past, including her childhood in the House of the Hearth, previous head of the orphanage, and how she became the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. The animated short also revealed Arlecchino's real name.

When Arlecchino was still a child, she had a close friend named Clervie.

They also promised to watch the aurora in Snezhnaya once they're grown up but they couldn't realize it.

Therefore, it's assumed that Arlecchino and Clervie also had to fight each other to the death, which ended with the former killing the latter.
