Columbine (Italian: Colombina; French: Colombine;[2] lit. 'little dove') is a stock character in the commedia dell'arte.[3] She is Harlequin's mistress,[3] a comic servant playing the tricky slave type, and wife of Pierrot. Rudlin and Crick use the Italian spelling Colombina in Commedia dell'Arte: A Handbook for Troupes.[4]
