I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for viola that I've seen before include "Bloomer" , "Musical instrument "Twelfth Night" character" , "Instrument slightly larger than violin and of lower pitch" , "part of a broken-down 27 [CARTHORSE]" , "Shakespearean character" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
