[3.3] The Complete Scaramouche Design Analysis

Kabukimono, Balladeer, Scaramouche, Wanderer... whatever name he goes by, this character is by far one of my favorites. He has one of the most complete backstories of any character in Genshin Impact. and so many layers of references in every one of his incarnations that I had to go over them one by one.

Stick around to the end for a small bonus theory! :)
