Do you think Columbina is aware of what really happened to Rosalyne?

Since Columbina was a close friend of Rosalyne and they seemed to enjoy each other’s company (despite the fatui being..morally questionable characters), is she aware of what happened to Rosalyne in Inazuma?

She clearly knows she losts a duel and was executed by the Shogun, but she doesn’t really mention that in relation to the traveler and the fact that they were rivals. Nor she feels any sort of “resentment” towards him/her. Do you think that’s because she isn’t fully aware of what happened or she simply doesn’t care about it that much?

All of the Fatui would know. Even if the Traveler was the one involved in the duel, they'd also know that Signora was a prideful and arrogant woman, and that her death was her own fault.

It's no secret that the Traveler has encountered and conflicted with many of the Fatui and Harbingers in the past. However, rather than being aligned with the Fatui, Columbina repeatedly shows her allegiance is to her friends in the present on an individual level. Signora >!is no longer alive!< so any friendship Columbina has with her is in the past, and there's not too much indication how much she really cared about Signora outside of being colleagues and occasional tea partners.

Furthermore, Columbina never knew the Traveler when they were in Inazuma and fighting Signora; her friendship with the Traveler started after they arrived in Nod-Krai. She acknowledges people and relationships change over time (as indicated by her attitude towards Dottore), so it's likely the present and future of her relationships are far more important to her than dwelling on the passing of a co-worker years into the past.

I would be highly surprised if she didn’t know. Traveler went into a room with Signora and the Shogun, only Shogun and Traveler came out. It wouldn’t take a genius to connect the dots that Traveler was at least involved.

Does it really matter though? All of the Harbringers know the dangers that lie on their missions. If Signora made an enemy of the Traveler and subsequently died because of it, that’s her fault, not the Travelers. Especially since it seems the majority of the Harbringers make an effort *not* to piss off the Traveler, even if certain goals mean they come into conflict.

I think Signora’s death has a lot to do with the fact that she lacked a clear personal ambition, or rather a personal commitment.

Other harbingers (like Arlecchino, Sandrone etc) are either researchers or have their own things going on, like Arlecchino and the House of the Hearth, so when they crossed paths with the traveler they tried to get to know him on a more “personal” level rather than a Fatui one. But Signora (iirc) was solely focused on the Tsaritsa’s goal, which she followed so blindly that didn’t even take into account any external factors. Like the traveler’s strength for instance.

I mean, sure. If she had made an effort to not be such an arrogant asshole every time she ran into the Traveler, things may have been different. But that’s still her fault. Childe is just as dedicated, but I bet Traveler would have at least tried to get his life spared if he lost a duel before the throne.

GravityCookies2026-01-20 05:51

Childe cares a lot about his family though. His entire story quest was basically showing how he is dedicated to the safety of his siblings, and how much he would sacrifice for them. Signora didn’t have anyone else besides the Tsaritsa. She probably anchored to the only thing that gave her a bit of hope

Signora was also consumed by irrational hatred towards Venti for what transpired with Rostam, for all she knew Trav was just another sycophant of Barbatos that was getting in the way of her grudge and the MC didn't get to hear the full story until long after she messed with Mondstadt and kicked Venti lol. So out of the gate she already wasn't having any of it and viewed MC as a meddler associated with her enemy who "betrayed" her, which is the tragedy of the situation.

Pretty much all fatui know how Signora meet her end, lost her duel with the traveler, and executed by the Shogun.

Those who knew her kind personality, like Arlecchino, House of Hearth, Columbina and Sandrone, already accepted her death, because Fatui is pretty much an army. Once you signed up as soldier, you need to accept that you might end up dead on battlefield.

Even the low ranking fatui soldiers that you meet in the chasm and natlan have the same mindset when carrying out their duty.

Yes

Just like how Navia doesn't actually blame Clorinde for killing Callus in a duel. It's a duel. (Although it did put a strain in their relationship in the beginning because Navia was still a child and didn't know the truth)

D-S_122026-01-20 09:46

Yes, she likely knows. But she likely also knows that Signora was killed by Raiden in a duel against the Traveler in which she lost. So the Traveler won fair and square there against her. Ultimately it's a duel Signora agreed to, so she has to suffer the consequences of losing said duel.

She attended the funeral, of course she will be informed well since she considers her a friend already

You can call them "occupational hazards" if you want.

She definitely knows what happened. Its just that, in the beginning, she has the very detached and transactional outlook in life. One where she didn't belong, and people did things for her cause they wanted things in return. As such, just like with Arlecchino and Sandrone, she wasn't ever able to truely get close to Rosalyne despite being on friendly terms. By the time she learned about friendship, it was from us. (And we even had a scene where she went truely befriend Sandrone and Arlecchino, asking her about her future tea parties) If she had this sort of mindset prior and had actually befriended Rosalyne, our initial interactions with her would probably have been much worse. But since she didn't have this mindset till after getting to know us, she probably put two and two together as to what happened. She's probably still sad about the overall situation and outcome, but she probably blames the circumstances rather than any one person for it.

If anything, I'm surprised Sandrone, was more hostile towards us initially. Arlecchino makes sense with the level-headed, approach to gauge our character and probably quickly reached the conclusion that Rosalyne was the one who went too far. And she is much more logic driven, with her personality. But Sandrone is much more emotionally driven, so even if she's also smart enough to figure out what happened, I thought she would still be a bit more hostile towards us just cause, circumstances aside, we still caused the death of a friend.
