History:
Born in Italy; her father left her mother for another woman after his merchant business took off; she and her mother began travelling North together; mother betrothed her to a much older man, who was supposedly well off, with a house among other nice things. But after her mother is lynched for a crime she did not commit, it is revealed that Columbine's husband was poor, and the house he owned was little more than a drafty shack. One day she met Clopin, as his tribe was camping not far from her house. Clopin helped her to escape her situation, and invited her to come with him to France. Some years later, when Clopin began his organization at the Court of Miracles, Col volunteered for the position of Grand Duchess, a title she still boasts, though few take it seriously.

She also has a secret talent, but it's a secret.
