The Non Party As Commedia Dell’arte Characters
Ezra kinda fits under Coviello. He has the same bluntness and cunning, and fits the adroit quality of some variations. 
Fiadh is probably Isabella. She fits with the Idiot Gay Love, and has the same sense of space beyond herself.
Astrantia could fall under Columbina or maybe Pierrot. She definitely has the motherly element of Columbina, and fits Pierrot’s trait of working to make everything work out.
Chantain might be Scapino. This only works if you count Wonderwall as musical talent, and he fits the mischievous vibe, as well as the scheming scoundrel aspect of some of the later iterations.
Akira is probably Il Capitano, specifically the variations of the mask that exclude the cowardly elements, or Coviello. She fits the tall, agressive elements of Il Capitano and has a sort of strange relation to a claim of power, she fits the boastful idiot aspect of Coviello.
Eden I could also see as Columbina, but with more focus on the rationality and self-sufficiency. She’s intelligent and truly cares for others, she’s often the sole voice of reason for the group.
Nyx is tricky, but I think they fit certain variations of Satiro. Their faeworld shenanigans definitely makes them a bridge between the world of fantasy and the world of reality.
Ecstal also kinda vibes with Satiro, but the more mischievous variations. He’s clever and somewhat mischievous, but at the end of the day he still wants the happy ending.
Sol works pretty well under Tartaglia. He fits the vibe of wise and cautious, but speaks a lot less than the others.
Kyriakala feels like Arlecchino. They vibe with Arleccino’s traits of rarely considering consequences, being forgetful, and changing moods in an instant.
