helloo after forever! because i plan to start posting art on tumblr now - and most of it is a fatui modern au i've been indulging on for several months now - i thought i'd post it here in writing first :)

the order is based on the fatui fam au i made within canon

a lot of the points apply to the og fatui fam au as well (like hobbies/personality/relationships) - just the backstories have been modernized

the setting is modern snezhnaya! people like scaramouche are still from their home countries like inazuma

capitano

big intimidating man who seems scary but is actually so wholesome when you get to know him

ex military, still goes to the gym religiously with mavuika

his entire closet is different variations of black clothing

the color comes from trinkets the others gave him

owns several plushies from childe's siblings

sometimes lets columbina do his hair with ribbons, or signora do his nails (though they chip off in like a day...)

has a hello kitty phone case and is proud of it

dottore

biology nerd, possesses multiple degrees and a phd

has back pain and a horrid sleep schedule, someone please check up on him

drinks 2342834787 black coffees a day to keep himself functioning, doesn't like the taste but too cranky to care

absolutely hates snezhnayan food for being too bland and prefers making his own sumerian food when he can

sees columbina as a little sister and spoils her to no end. anything she wants will be bought for her. is it pantalone's money though? maybe-

takes photos with half his finger in the frame and a crooked camera bc he doesn't gaf. yeah signora doesn't ask him for photos anymore lmfao

brighella

studied forensics & psychology, works in the secret service now

figure skates and will occasionally go out with arlecchino

his guilty pleasure is loving yae publishing house's trashy romance novels

may or may not have a room entirely plastered with posters and merch of his favorite fandoms

seems silent and emotionless but actually huge yapper when he's comfortable around someone

doesn't like sweets and VEHEMENTLY avoids sandrone when she's in the kitchen because she dumps 5kg sugar into anything she makes

can't control his face; absolutely side-eyes and looks judgey when he sees shit he doesn't like

pretends he's above childe's shenanigans but secretly enjoys them and doesn't stop him

arlecchino

grew up in an orphanage and now goes there often to take care of the other children

has figure skated since she was in the orphanage, as it was her childhood dream

enjoys going to the rink with brighella occasionally. sometimes they bring lynette, who also loves the sport. arle is determined to help lynette fulfill the dream she herself wasn't able to accomplish

arle herself studied business and runs one herself

will not buy anything for herself ever but spoil her kids and signora endlessly

usually hates physical touch but has a little smile whenever signora holds her arm to tug her places

disgusted face TM whenever pantalone starts talking because she's sick of his endless yapping

pulcinella

part of the snezhnayan gov, works for the tsaritsa

we don't know much about him so he's not really important yet lmao

scaramouche

rich due to being the son of a government leader

love-hate relationship with kujou sara (ei's new gf) because as much as scara likes her personality, he doesn't like seeing her with ei

lowk nepo baby but hates his mom and went to school in snezhnaya to get away from her

studied archaeology and specializes in ancient artifacts

also plays electric guitar in his free time and dabbles in songwriting. big fan of alternative music

drinks black coffee like dottore but in a "i'm better than you" way

forced to babysit the childe and columbina duo, hates it (they put him through so much shit)

inherited ei's cooking skills; it's the one thing he keeps childe around for

sandrone

mechanical engineer; she loves experimenting and building things

looks like a doll - round face, button nose, pretty eyes, pouty lips - but has the NASTIEST resting bitch face

loves baking, hates anyone being in the kitchen with her. extremely precise with her recipes

familiar with all instruments and dances due to being an engineered puppet, but her favorite is ballet

when she's dancing is the one time her face is serene as she floats in a way that shouldn't be possible for mechanical limbs

frenemies with scaramouche. they're always at each other's throats and everyone is done with it

definition of "chalant" and therefore way too easy to ragebait

signora

famous model & influencer, and runs her own fashion line

went to school for fashion design

dated rostam throughout college and her early 20's until he died (canon event i'm sorry)

always overdressed to everything and usually late

besties with pantalone and they talk so much shit with each other + absolutely judge everyone

everyone assumes she can't drive due to her barbie doll appearance, but she absolutely can

however she drives like a f1 racecar driver and leaves every passenger fighting for their life (except childe who's enjoying it 💀)

got into rock music after arlecchino introduced her and loves going to concerts together

pantalone

finance bro (😂)

born poor but currently very very rich after clawing his way up the ranks and then breaking off to make his own startup. now a successful CEO

very into fashion. his jewelry fills an entire cabinet

incredibly petty & has the power + influence to f people over, which he does

loves going to ultra fancy restaurants with signora and gossiping

has 0 spice tolerance and loves bland food which horrifies dottore (lmao)

columbina

beautiful singer; works as a solo artist

her and childe are the full of life duo. he has a lot more energy, and she is his biggest enabler + will go along for shits and giggles
