Columbinetta
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Columbinetta was one of the wooden puppets created using Gramm's Cyber-Technology. Johan Drossel used her to perform simple tasks like fetching Gramm, whom he called his "watchdog", to his tent or putting the Eighth Doctor into a cellar.
Columbinetta's functioning ceased together with that of its creator, Gramm, on 12 September 1873. All remnants of the Cyber-Technology were burned by the Doctor. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Judging by the name, the appearance of Columbinetta was not based on any particular person. Rather it was based on a female character from several 19th century Austrian pantomimes about Harlequin. This made her a likely candidate for performing in Marionettenburg.
