Childe:

🍮- Your lover was in the shower and it was the perfect time to do what you wanted without worry of your lover’s sapphire eyes. The only time he took his mask off his head was when he was in the shower or when he crawled into bed with you.

🍮- Once your lover’s back rested against the bed his arms would quickly encase you in his firm grip, not giving you the chance to sneak off in the night and done his crimson mask.

🍮- You thought it looked good on him and wondered if it would look the same on you.

🍮- You went to the nightstand he had laid it on and quickly snatched it up, you went over to your full-length mirror and lifted it to your head, while it looked amazing on your lover it didn’t quite look too good on you, your personality not fitting the sharp crimson edges of the mask.

🍮- “Having your fun, darling?” A voice purred, the steam from the bathroom leaking into the room.

🍮- You almost dropped the mask in your fright but caught it just in time. “I was just cleaning it a bit, making sure all the blood was wiped off it.” You mumbled, not expecting your lover to catch you.

🍮- “I’m sure.” He chuckled, not seeming to mind one bit that a sprinkle of water droplets and a blue towel were the only things on his body.

🍮- His usually smiling face taking a dark tinge, your head instantly thought of a lamb standing in front of a wolf.

🍮- He didn’t waste any more time, he stalked over to you and cornered you until you fell back onto the bed, he lifted his wet hands up to your head and cradled it, the mask in your hands was plucked from them, he settled it on your head again.

🍮- “What a lovely sight to see, I’m upset I didn’t think of it myself darling.” He darkly chuckled, his grip on you becoming possessive.

🍮- You supposed this wasn’t the worst possible outcome of him finding you playing with his things.

Scaramouche:  

🍮-His big ole hat was constantly on your mind, you found it fascinating that it was able to balance on your lover’s head while he slew those who dare come in his path.

🍮-You seemed to have the grace of the gods on your side since his urge to wet his blade with your blood never once whispered in his head, he found his lack of hostility towards you interesting.

🍮-You weren’t a fool, you knew that you had to tread lightly when it came to his mood and temper. He would never direct it at you but that didn’t mean a servant or maid wouldn’t be subjected to his bad mood if you were the one to cause it.

🍮-You knew you weren’t going to be able to change his villainess ways but at least you could help in making sure it didn’t go towards those that didn’t truly deserve his ire.  

🍮-He made sure you were content and spoiled in your little safe house, you found the name ironic considering it was a huge mansion he hides you in, making the Dawn Winery look small.

🍮-He wasn’t known for his likable personality so you could understand his overprotectiveness with your safety.

🍮-He had recently come in from another bloody mission, taking the time to bathe before searching around the mansion for you. He found you lazing in the garden delicately sitting under the stone gazebo.

🍮-As soon as you saw his indigo hair you dashed towards him, a smile beaming on your face, “My love, I wasn’t expecting you until tomorrow.” You practically purred, you shoved your secret motive aside for the time being.

🍮-You would gauge his mood before you acted.

🍮-“The mission ended earlier than expected. It seems the fools on our side aren’t as incompetent as  I thought, still lacking in combat skill though,” His voice held a note of indifference, his mind was on something more than his dull mission.

🍮-You saw the way his eyes lingered on your hands and figured out what he wanted. He had sought you out for a reason and you better fulfill it or he was going to be in a sour mood.

🍮-“Come sit down, my love. I am sure you are tired. Let me massage your scalp.” You practically sung, your voice like keys being softly struck on a piano to him.

🍮-You reached over and grabbed a plush cushion from the stone bench you were sitting on and laid it at your feet. You didn’t worry about anyone coming out to the garden and seeing him submissively kneeling between your legs.

🍮-No doubt he told the servants that if the so much as breathed in this direction it would be there last.

🍮-He had showered and dressed but still, his big hat sat on his head, you would find it locked in the closet when he wasn’t wearing it. Times like these were the only time it would be left unguarded.

🍮-You delicately took it off his slightly damp head and placed it on the bench beside your lap.

🍮-He was in a decent mood so it seems your wish to try it on would happen soon. The base of his neck rested on your knee, his eyes quickly falling shut as your fingers rubbed and prodded his scalp.  

🍮-With your fingers and your gentle humming, he went slack against your lower half.

🍮-You slowly removed your hands from his head and carefully picked up his hat, the tassels made it difficult to move it without making a sound. Soon it rested on your head, your plan to see yourself in it suddenly falling short when you realized there wasn’t a mirror around.

🍮-You had begun to pout and looked down in defeat, your heart stalling when they met indigo hues staring up at you with a glare, “Did I tell you to stop?” He hissed, bringing his rough hands up to grab yours and place them back on his head.

🍮-You mumbled an apology and got back to rubbing his head.  

🍮-“Before I wake back up my hat better be off your head.” He ordered, closing his eyes once more.

🍮-You breathed out a breath and plucked it off your head and back onto the bench. You supposed trying it on and living to tell the tale was enough.

Edited. 

To achieve this, I spent a lot of time reading about characters appearing in Italian Comedia dell'arte, from which all Fatui Harbringers got their tittles. I also referenced to Pale Flame and Husk of Opulent dreams set lore, read other players' theories about them, and referenced to general Fatui appearances and mentions in game.

Here's a clear constellation wheel without my notes:

Tartaglia is playable, his constellation is easy to guess.

La Signora's boss form was inspired by a moth. Again, pretty self-explanatory

Colombina literally means "Little Dove" which makes her constellation quite obvious

Sandrone is usually played by a puppet, therefore, a puppet constellation

After giving the Puppet constellation to sandrone, there was only one candidate for Scaramouche's - a constellation depicting a character with a heart, referencing to his lore contained in The Husk of Opulent Dreams artifact set. The whole purpose of his existence is to serve as a vessel for a heart... Perhaps this constellation suggets that he’s going to find it. The real heart, that unlike the gnosis, doesn’t bring him only bitterness and suffering. 

Pierro/Pedrolino’s constellation is based on how his face was often painted.

The constellation I chose for Dottore looks like nails. It was a pretty easy choice for him, since he’s the only Habringer in lore that seems to have something to do with machines. 

Now, for conestellations that made me think a little bit more and are more likely to turn out wrong! (I hope not lol)

Arlecchino belongs to the group of comedia characters known as “Zanni” - they are clowns, servants for “Vecchi” (wealthy) characters. The mask with a long nose that is seen on the constellation is a characteristical trait of Zanni characters. Some od the Zanni characters are: Brighella, Scapino, Pulcinella, Pedrolino, and Arlecchino. The first two characters aren’t mentioned in Genshin lore so far, Pedrolino already has another constellation chosen for him, and Pulcinella seems to have too big influence on The Lore to have such a... Simple constellation. That’s why I chose the mask as Arlecchino’s constellation.

Pantalone belongs to the previously mentioned group of characters known as Vecchi - the wealthy men. In Genshin lore that seems to be the case too, since he bought the entire Goth Grand Hotel for The Fatui, and the Pale Flame watch also mentions how he achieves a lot of things through money, since he was never granted a Vision. Royal Apple (?) seemed like an obvious choice, but It also suited Il Capitano, since he’s known as a character that likes to show off. Butt, I decided that Pantalone still suits this one much better. 

The last two were chosen by my gut feeling really.

Il Capitano is a charcter with fake bravado, always overexaggerating his wealth, strength and acheievements. That's why I chose an empty hand, since it might symbolize how unimpressive he actually is.

Also Pulcinella seems to have more important part in the story so the remaining constellation, the more intersting one, seemed like the right choice for them
