La Ruffiana

La Ruffiana (in Italian, pimp or whore) is an older female character of the Commedia dell'Arte with a shady past. She is used most often in relationship to the vecchio of which group she is a nominal member. Ruffiana is most often romantically involved with Pantalone, though his love may easily be unrequited if it suits the plot.
