Smeraldina

Smeraldina

Related to the Columbine character. Dress was often related to the Harlequin, with patches of diverse colour.
Tends to be quite a sparky servant, quite able and clever and capable – a bit like Maria in Twelfth Night.
Often loves the Harlequin character (Truffaldino) but is clever enough to see through him. Has a tendency to scold the Harlequin.
Her comments about Silvio right at the beginning suggest the overtly lustful quality of someone who suspects they are getting a bit past it. We quite like it as an audience, though. We also like her ‘bolshie’ quality.
