[4.1] Speculating Arlecchino's Possible Identity - A Genshin Impact Theory

I'm not the first to suspect or suggest that Arlecchino could be a Hilichurl... but I thought it would be fun to dig into the possibility anyway... I did not expect to stumble upon a possible identity for the Fourth Ranked Harbinger, nor did I expect the rabbit hole to lead me to... "her".

I guess that's what you get when you mix Hilichurls, Alice in Wonderland, and a fiery orphanage director.

**DISCLAIMER**
This theory contains WILD SPECULATIONS, as well as some STRETCHES, very big MENTAL LEAPS, and FALLIBLE INTERPRETATION. If that bothers you... well, you've been warned. Sometimes I just like to explore outlandish possibilities no matter how unlikely they may seem to be at the time of creation.

Also, sorry for the quality of the 4.1 footage. It was accidentally recorded at 1366x768 instead of 1920x1080. This will be fixed for future videos.
