this it's not hard to believe that makoto who was strong enough to emerge victorious in the arkhan war would leave behind some kind of divine remains upon her death during the cataclysm so assuming this essence was incorporated into making scaramouche it would actually reasonably account for the differences between him and the ryden shogun puppet we know that he was created first simply as a proof of concept but for a prototype it's kind of strange that he would have more complex capabilities than his successor the writing shogun is extremely straightforward follows a set of directives and will passively let things happen as long as they don't interfere with those instructions on the other hand though scaramouche is capable of feigning a different personality as we can see in the unreconciled stars cutscenes where he acts friendly to try and approach the traveler before later showing his true intentions in the descriptions of the artifacts of the pale flame set which are all about different fertuey harbingers the surpassing cup clearly talks about scaramouche the quotes in it are coming from his perspective and we can see that he is capable of weighing different options before making a decision in this case he finds the vatui fun to be around so he'd rather join them then continue to drift aimlessly and we know that it isn't due to the influence of the fatoui that he is more perceptive and conscious than the ryden shogun so it would make sense if that catalyst was the spirit of a real person this would also fill in a lot of the other holes surrounding scaramucci's origin it's pretty reasonable that a wouldn't want to destroy the life she just created but you would think that she would at least take some kind of responsibility over him that wouldn't necessarily even mean taking care of him herself as she could have reasonably placed him under the care of one of inazuma's noble families but instead she was presumably far too ashamed of his existence and or emotionally detached leading to the cruel treatment of him being left to roam on his own furthermore makoto's presence could explain how he was able to learn about his godly status before his powers were unlocked by the fatoui scaramouche also notably comments fondly on short lasting moments of beauty when makoto seemed to incidentally be the god of transients i also found it interesting that scaramucci wears japanese inspired inazuma clothing when you would think that he would want to have no association with the place that turned him bitter specifically his iconic hat seems to be inspired by the japanese ichimegasa which was typically worn by noble women another standout visual detail is his colors he has purple hair and purple eyes similar to the ryden sisters but it's the colored highlights on the back that are really intriguing if it is true that his appearance wasn't based on a then for what reason would they share this detail for the last thing i just mentioned as well as some other points i suppose it is possible to just be an incidental byproduct of being a puppet made by a but altogether i feel that it does make sense for scaramouche to have the spirit of makoto lay dormant inside him surprisingly none of this theory contradicts anything that was previously confirmed as far as
