All of the Fatui Harbingers are mysterious, powerful, and somehow blessed with attractiveness (except maybe Pulcinella). One of the most intriguing members of their group is Genshin Impact's Columbina, otherwise known as the Damselette. Ever since her initial appearance, we've been wondering who she is, how powerful she is, and what her kit is like. Now that we're in Nod-Krai, we know a lot more about her, so keep reading to join the club.

When is the Genshin Impact Columbina release date?
Columbina joins the playable roster in Genshin Impact on January 14, 2026. Her banner is part of the first phase of Version Luna IV and runs alongside a rerun of Genshin Impact's Ineffa.
Who is Genshin Impact's Columbina?
Columbina is a five-star hydro catalyst wielder. She is - or was -one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, the executive heads of the Fatui and then Tsaritsa's most trusted soldiers. Columbina is the third of the Harbingers, who are ranked by their power level, and is also known by her codename 'Damselette'.
She first appears in the Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo video, alongside many of her fellow Harbingers, who we had not seen before. The video focuses on the Harbingers gathering to mourn the death of Genshin Impact's La Signora, and Columbina is the first member that we see as she kneels next to the coffin, singing a bittersweet melody.
Since this initial introduction, we've learned a lot more about her throughout the Nod-Krai Archon Quests. She previously granted prayers for the members of the Frostmoon Scions as their Kuutar, or Moon Maiden, but has since become a recluse, disliking the transactional relationship between god and follower. We also found out that, when she still worked with the Fatui, she enjoyed having tea parties with Genshin Impact's Arlecchino and Genshin Impact's Sandrone.
How powerful is Genshin Impact's Columbina?
As the Fatui Harbingers are ranked by their power, Columbina's position as third suggests that she is pretty damn powerful. Plus, voice lines from both Genshin Impact's Childe and Genshin Impact's Wanderer both warn Genshin Impact's Traveler to stay away from her.
If you need any extra convincing, Genshin Impact's Nahida also told the Traveler in the Sumeru Archon quest that the top three Fatui Harbingers all have power rivalling that of gods.
Who are Columbina's voice actors?
Columbina shares an English voice actor, Emi Lo, with Honkai Star Rail's Ruan Mei, as well as Saki Fuwa in Tower of Fantasy. Prolific voice actor Lynn provides her Japanese voice. You may recognize her as the voice behind Umamusume: Pretty Derby's Maruzensky, Azura in Fire Emblem Heroes, and the Cookie Run: Kingdom character, Nutmeg Tiger Cookie.
Yang Menglu voices her in Chinese, as well as Widowmaker in Overwatch. Columbina's Korean voice actor is Yu Yeong, who you might also recognize from her work in Cookie Run: Kingdom and Shining Nikki.
