With her angelic appearance and silent demeanor, Columbina has been capturing the attention of the Genshin Impact community since her appearance in the teaser "Teyvat Chapter: Distractions of a Winter Night." Third in the Fatui Harbingers hierarchy, she will be a central figure in the highly anticipated arc set in the icy region of Nod-Krai.

As the nations of Teyvat prepare for the new chapter, the mysteries surrounding the Moon Lady grow. Her serene appearance hides a frightening influence. Not only is she revered by fanatical followers, but she is also at the center of an internal conflict within the Fatui organization itself. Rumors about her origins, her role in future missions, and even possible connections to past bosses in the game are fueling intense speculation.
Who is Columbina and why does her position in the Fatui frighten even the most powerful?
Columbina ranks third among the Eleven Harbingers, ranking above familiar names like Tartaglia (Childe) and Arlecchino. Her gentle posture and quiet voice don't hide the fact that she inspires awe and carries immense power.
This perception isn't just narrative. Characters like Tartaglia and the Traveler have expressed apprehension when mentioning her. The Wanderer (formerly Scaramouche), known for his arrogance, himself expressed concerns about the Harbinger's true nature. This suggests that, even without demonstrating her combat prowess, Columbina commands respect based solely on her reputation.
Columbina's celestial aesthetic and the symbolism behind its design
Her look immediately catches the eye. Columbina wears a long white dress with deep blue accents, a crescent-shaped jewel on her chest, and an X-shaped veil covering her ever-closed eyes. Similar lace wraps around her feet, while wing-shaped feathers and a circular structure under her heels complete the ensemble, evoking the image of an angelic entity.
Furthermore, her presence in the official teaser for the Snezhnaya arc is marked by a mysterious melody. The song she sings is a subtle version of themes used in the fight against La Signora, another previously eliminated Harbinger. This musical reference suggests a direct connection between the two, indicating that they share a history, maintain hierarchical ties, or have a common origin.
The relationship between Columbina and the Nod-Krai region
As Nod-Krai approaches its release, several elements of the game point to Columbina's central role in the region. The frozen and isolated northern region is home to the so-called "Ice Moon Scions," fanatical devotees who worship the Harbinger as a deity. On Hiisi Island, several statues dubbed "New Moon Idols" depict her image, a first for non-divine characters.
Unlike other regions of Teyvat, where the Archons have statues in their honor, Nod-Krai breaks this pattern by erecting a sacred monument to a Harbinger. The choice to honor her in this way reinforces the idea that Columbina is more than just an antagonist: she may be linked to the origins of the region itself, perhaps even as a fallen former Archon or a rediscovered ancient figure.
The threat of the Palestar Edict and the possible clash between the Fatui themselves
Tensions escalate with the emergence of the so-called Palestar Edict, the highest internal order of the Fatui. This summons demands that all agents of the organization find and bring Columbina back to Snezhnaya. This extreme measure suggests that her absence worries even the supreme leaders of the Fatui, or that she poses an uncontrollable threat even to the Harbingers themselves.
This internal movement exposes direct conflicts within the organization and places Columbina at the center of tension: while some of the Fatui worship her as a goddess, others hunt her as a traitor. Whether she's in hiding or preparing something, the impact could completely alter the course of Genshin Impact's main story.
What to expect from Columbina in the future of Genshin Impact
All signs point to Columbina as the main catalyst for the plot in Nod-Krai. Her popularity among the region's inhabitants, the symbolism behind her design, and the fear she inspires among the Fatui themselves indicate that her role goes beyond the conventional.
Players can expect epic confrontations, profound revelations about the Harbingers, and even potential twists about the origins of the nations of Teyvat. Columbina isn't just a piece on the Fatui's board. She may hold the key to unlocking the oldest secrets of the Genshin Impact universe.
