⠀⠀not many know about arlecchino ' s past , she goes out of her way to hide it from others if they do not need to know about it . viewing her younger days as a weakness of sorts . arlecchino is khaenri'ahn , descending specifically from the crimson blood dynasty . fire rages through her veins , although the raging fire is only awakened through an intense negative emotion in arlecchino . as the centuries went by , the condition become more and more sensitive . the crimson power wielded in her body gave her immense strength , power that was almost uncontrollable to him . the more stronger he got , the more his skin turned black , causing issues in his body in return for unmatched power . arlecchino secretly worries what will happen if the black pigmentation of his skin affects his heart or brain . the more arlecchino hurt with his power , the more of his memories would begin to seep out , even causing true illusions to manifest into reality . as an orphan with no true guardian , she was placed into the house of the hearth under the name perure . by the time peruere was in the house of the hearth , it was an orphanage designed to kill all other orphans in order to inheirit the role of the "king " or leader of the house of the hearth , those who were considered " faulty " to crucabena were sent to il dottore where he would experiment on them cruelly crucabena and peruere . to the other children , she was seen as odd , and many avoided her . except for one girl named clervie , they were good friends and were the only two in the house of the hearth who knew that what crucabena was doing was wrong . the two of them tried to convince the other orphans about their mother ' s misdeeds , yet , their attempts of escape were futile . ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀as clervie and peruere grew older , the two of them ended up killing the rest of their orphans in duels forced upon them by their mother , until of course , it was just them left . clervie had always known that peruere was much more capable of defeating crucabena much more than clervie was . clervie died to the hands of her own best friend , being forced to kill clervie by crucabena was arlecchino ' s last stand to revolt against her . in the battle , peruere ' s emotions eventually get the best of her as she is reminded of her best friend clervie , allowing her crimson blood to be set ablaze and thus defeat crucabena , causing destruction and destroying the old house of the hearth building as well . after the deed is done , her crimes are soon discovered and she is arrested by the fatui . as she awaits trial , the tsaritsa gains ahold of this information . amazed by peruere ' s strength , capable of defeating crucabena , she instead pardons his crimes and elects him as the new knave . ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀as the knave , arlecchino never stopped growing her power as shown by his black hands growing larger and larger . due to her trauma , she decided to continue on the legacy of the house of the hearth , as it is all he knows . instead of becoming mother , arlecchino took on the name of father , rather than mother . as a metaphor to their differences and how he swears to not be like crucabena . he took in almost every orphan he found , solemnly swearing to protect them no mater what . ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀headcanons
