Hoyo employee 1: how many artworks should we make of Columbina?
Hoyo Employee 2: yes
Dismal-Job18142026-01-14 11:07
She deserves them.
Especially after that AQ(now Hoyo make Sandrone playable and give her same amount of arts)

It still baffles me how can FatuiHQ hate her and the story. I did not yet get to that point since I just finished Natlan world quests and will do the Archon Quest today.
AlterWanabee2026-01-15 03:17
For Columbina? FatuiHQ hates her because she doesn't match their headcanons.

Hoyo PR has double productivity if the waifu to be advertized has in-game shipping with Aether

Okay but did anyone else not get her birthday letter or did the game get glitched for me?
gimmieurfackingmoney2026-01-14 14:14
I have the same thing! I had her since around 3PM my time, and it's 9PM now, I keep on logging in just to check but I still don't have a letter.

sorry but she deserves this
hraberuka2026-01-14 11:02
That's so pretty

Happy birthday Columbina my love!🥳❤️❤️
Lumpy-Manager85802026-01-14 11:05
I take it back that there wasn't gonna be bday art for Columbina, because wdym they combined all of those arts at once?! (we still have to wait until 2027 for her mail tho)
Stunning_Dealer_92112026-01-14 11:06

Fun fact: There's an unreleased 5th Tiara of Gales that has lore likely describing the Fall of Hyperborea that was never released despite being in the game files since v1.0

Happy Birthday Columbina! Kind of cool to see a birthday art this long in size. The art looks dreamy. Will we still get birthday mail though?
Confident_River_35832026-01-14 11:26
This art feels quietly powerful in a way that really suits Columbina. I love how soft and eerie the mood is at the same time. It makes me even more curious about her role and how much we still do not know about her story. HoYoverse always knows how to spark theories with just one image.
Glittering_Loss56682026-01-14 11:29
The composition here is gorgeous, especially the way the light feels almost dreamlike instead of dramatic. It really makes her feels distant and unsetting in a calm way. Every time HoYoverse posts Columbina content it feels like a quite reminder that she is going to be important later.
Ceekada2026-01-14 11:36
Not enough art. Need more
rimirinrin2026-01-14 11:47
Her artwork is soooo beautiful.
AceWissle2026-01-14 13:11
Hm, is today her birthday? I did not get an ingame mail, is that normal?
Renachanga2026-01-14 14:46
I didn't get a letter either. Everything that was in the update arrived, except Columbina's birthday letter.
sacredfire5112026-01-15 04:17
I’m glad it’s not just me. This happened to me for Flins as well and I was sooooo sad I didn’t get his bday mail.
Jacier_2026-01-15 04:57
Hmm, guess I'm not the only one. Surprised I didn't see it either
Nyllil2026-01-16 20:45
I've gotten Flins on his birthday, but Columbina? Nope...
PlasmaCosmic392026-01-14 13:55
Happy Birthday and Release Day, Columbina!
ouyume2026-01-14 20:47
what sucks is no brithday mail for her... LIKE WHY!??!? WE had other characters that were released like a day or two before their birthdays and they got mail
sacredfire5112026-01-15 04:15
I never got Flins’ bday mail and I specifically waited up for it. I was very sad 😔
Nyllil2026-01-16 20:49
You sure you even logged in before 12am the next day? I mean Flins also released way before his birthday, unlike Columbina now
sacredfire5112026-01-16 20:53
Yeah :( I was logged in beforehand and when I didn’t hear the mail chime at midnight I was confused. I tried logging in and out. Stayed on an extra hour. Nothing. I wasn’t going to be home the next day so that’s why I stayed up
Never had that happen before!
