* HiddenBuxom: {{Downplayed}}. Arlecchino's suit doesn't exactly hide that she's well-endowed, but it's unclear initially whether it's just her suit making her look bigger or not. Once she enters her Peruere form during her boss fight, she reveals she's actually fairly big underneath.

* EmotionlessGirl: Well, woman in this case. Neuvillette states that there is no emotion in her voice, and even when she's angry, she's mostly in a TranquilFury. Arlecchino herself states that "Anger makes you impulsive, and sorrow causes you to waver". However, it's heavily implied that this is her way to keep her curse in check, as it's shown that it flares up whenever she is in an emotional distress, like sorrow for her pet spider and Clervie' deaths, or wrath for Crucabena.

* AntiVillain: Arlecchino genuinely cares and protect the ChildSoldiers she raises, and her extrajudicial killings of HumanTraffickers and using their wealth for additional funding of the House of the Hearth can be considered her own brand of justice, especially in Fontaine where the issue is especially not being sufficiently addressed. At the same time, she is contributing to the same exploitative system that she suffered in.

** Arlecchino is the first character whose utility passives only serves to her own benefit, granting her a substantial Pyro Damage Bonus in exchange for being cut off from healing while in combat. Even Childe, the only other character to possess a combat centred utility passive, has one that benefits the whole party by granting a level to their normal attacks.
* CastFromHitPoints: PlayedWith. Unlike Hu Tao before her, Arlecchino doesn't actually drain her own HP to gain her [[SpellBlade Infusion]]. However, to gain it, she has to inflict herself with a Bond of Life, a status ailment which blocks off healing to the character until enough HP is restored to dispel the effect. Combined with her passive that cuts her off from healing entirely in exchange for increased damage, and she essentially locks herself off from healing until the battle ends, meaning any damage she takes won't be restored unless she can use her Elemental Burst.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Generally, [=DPS=]s who rely on [[SpellBlade Infusions]], whether it be a part of their base kit or is something gained via Constellations, activate them either through their Elemental Skill or Burst for a limited time and, with the exception of early characters like Diluc and Noelle, will lose the infusion upon switching with another character. Arlecchino's is ''much'' different in this regard, as her Infusion is instead dependent on how much Bond of Life she has imposed on herself. This not only means that she doesn't technically gain her Infusion through her Skill, with it being more of a means of getting a Bond of Life, but it also means that it'll remain even when she switches with another character and is otherwise indefinite.
* PurposelyOverpowered: Arlecchino is the 4th of the Fatui Harbingers, placing her power at ''just'' below the level of [[PhysicalGod Archons]], and she's a capable of extremely high damage through her "Masque of the Red Death" state, with the added benefit of her Infusion having no real time limit beyond how long she can keep her Bond of Life going.

** While she doesn't take it as far as [[TheSocialDarwinist her predecessor]], Arlecchino holds a firm MightMakesRight belief, believing one must have strength and conviction to survive in the world and see their goals through. Fittingly, like Childe before her, her "Utility Passive" is a combat focused one, granting her a substantial Pyro Damage Bonus at the expense of cutting her off from healing, which boosts her attack power while leaving her Burst as the only means of healing herself, ensuring she adheres to her own beliefs.
