What Ner0 said :)@Kythera I'm thinking of making a gypsie dancer ( you know Esmerlda style) but would that be historically accurate? I've tried looking some stuff up but I'm not finding much
According to genetic scientists in the UK, the first Roma didn't arrive until 1513. However since the Roma were expelled and banned from entering in 1530, logically one would think they had been around longer than that in order to get people riled up enough to kick them out... Either way, I'm okay with you playing one, but as Ner0 said it'd probably make the most sense if she pretends to be a Christian to avoid persecution, or somehow conceals her identity. Alternatively, if she were employed by, say, the Queen or the Princess because they were just tickled pink by her dancing skills and wanted her as a permanent hired entertainer, she would have some degree of royal protection and not necessarily need to hide her heritage as much.
