Dancing to the Tambourine {Started, Gypsy RP, Accepting}

[grisly bear]

A soft jingling noise echoes through the empty forest as a dark-skinned gypsy girl makes her way through it. She taps it against her legs, creating a mixture of sounds. In the distance there's the sounds of children screeching with delight as they run through the caravans; people clapping their hands to a strong, steady beat; donkeys loudly braying; young men whistling at women, and the women giggling in return.

The girl gets to the small village, and there she can see what's happening. Her caravan has came to town. The usual bleak clothing of the villagers is drowned out by the bright and elaborate dress of gypsies. All of them have some form of jewelry, the majority of it fake. All around is bright bronze, red wooden beads, and much more.

There's the fortune tellers, dancers, pickpockets, and plenty of other fun and exciting things. There's even a dwarf in the band. A man is giving a puppet show to young children, the puppets all well-crafted. On a street corner a young women dressed in bright purples and greens is selling wooden ornaments, a goat kid beside her. Inside a pink and brown caravan an old women tells the fortune to those who want it, her hands shaking constantly.

The gypsies are in town.


OOC Stuff
So, that not so good intro aside...
It's a caravan of gypsies whom are visiting a small village. As usual, persecution follows them because they're gypsies. I'd imagine that the majority of the village is fairly accepting, while some aren't.
There'd be the fortune tellers, the performers, thieves, etc.

The likes sell-swords and hedge-knights are permitted to be played, as they can come and go as they please. Villagers are also able to be played, However, if you wish to play one you also must have a gypsy character. As this is mainly focused on their life and their drama, not how one of the kitchen women is baring the lord's bastard child.

Villagers who didn't have a form made for them may be played at random by anyone, but no characters may be one. If one person is using one (like the tarot card reader is telling a fortune) then someone else may not use the same one (so a dancer couldn't suddenly say that the stablehand who was getting his fortune told looks towards her in awe or the such).

I'd really love it if everyone tried to post two or more paragraphs every time, as this is semi lit+. I don't mean paragraphs like the above either. I want good, informative paragraphs with three or more sentences each.

If you have an image of the character, just post is somewhere with the form. You may not use art that doesn't belong to you, or a photo that isn't free stock.

Anything else not mentioned should be common sense.

The form's below, if any is at all interested:

Reserving this just in case. <3
As a side note, forms can be as short as you'd like. I'm more concerned about the RP than the forms.

[Zombie Skittles]

Work in progress FInished

Username: Zombie Skittles
Name: Lena
Age: Seventeen
Gender: female
Occupation: Gypsy dancer. It seems like that's the only thing the girl is good at.
Brief Personality: Lena is shy and quiet. Though she isn't afraid to show off her moves.. With a group. But on her own, she doesn't make it. Lena would do anything; when she is alone. Or at least think she is alone. Some might watch her and she doesn't know it. Around others, Lena is fine with a group of people she knows. If she is alone with a group that she doesn't have a clue who they are and how they act, or if she's with someone; she's pretty shy. Her true colors don't show until she gets to know the person. Which isn't hard to do, if your nice to her. While if your not.. She her shell thickens.
Once Lena is open to you, she likes to make people laugh. She's pretty weird, but in a cool way. She's one of those people who you couldn't forget. Making you laugh when your feeling down, is one of her specialties. Lena is also pretty nice, of course. She wouldn't dare to make you sad or mad. As long as you haven't p!ssed her off, before. Then that's a different story.
If you make Lena mad, which isn't easy. She would probably blow up on you. Put on her brave face and scowl. Maybe a bit of trash talk. But then after, when she's alone, or just away from the person she would think about what she had done, and regret it. Maybe cry if you made her even more mad. Thinking that the whole world hates her. That she's only good at her dancing. And making men drool over her breast.
Lena is at the stage where she doesn't care about love lives. She rather make friends with men and women. She would have to know the person, like a best friend, to make her fall in love with someone. Sometimes she would make friends, who become really good friends with her. But then turn out to be really cruel people. So she isn't easy to become best friends with. Baby steps.
Description: Lena has long jet black hair, that noticeably curly. Or wavy, however you prefer. Her bright green eyes stands out perfectly. Definitely an eye catcher. With her long dark eyelashes, they pare up together perfectly. With her side bangs, they hide the right side of her face. She doesn't really like her eyes. She things the cause to much attention. Lena has enough attention as it is. She has and oval shaped head. She has a scar on her left cheek from being smacked in a face from an angry man in a village she was once in. Her nose is small, but yet points up at the end. She hates it. Its like a bunny nose. Her lips are some-what large, more on the normal size. Compared to someone with thin lips, they seem larger. It depends on the person. Some think they're on the small side. While others might think they're larger. She has powered freckles over her cheeks and nose. They are really hard to point out, unless your five inches away from her face.
Lena is really thin. Skinny and tall. Perfect for the dancing type. With a flat stomach and big breast she has the body of a fit young woman. Sadly, Lena wishes her breast weren't so large. Its what all guys see. And all she wants is to make friends. Not find a lover. With her breast size, that's all guys see in her. Lena has long legs, that leads her up to 5'9" exactly. Pretty tall, another curse in Lena's imagination. Her body is tan. She's always been a fan of the sun. But the moon is her favorite. You would find her dancing around the campfire in the moon light.

Username: Zombie Skittles
Name: Finn
Age: Twenty three
Gender: Male
Occupation: Thief
Brief Personality: Finn is a charmer. Using the sweet talk to get what he wants, and then he goes for it. When the victim loves him the most, he strikes. Finn is the guy who all people love. There's just something about him that make the ladies bow to his feet, and the men wish they were him. Well, they shouldn't. He lives a poor life. Stealing things, and then selling them is his money making. If he didn't do that he had no idea how to live his life. Things are hard as it is. But he still keeps that sweet smile. Complementing the ladies, to make them lead to their houses, so he could find something valuable to add to all the things he stolen. Its not that hard to have girls drooling over him. All it takes is his pretty smile, and a sparkle in his eye. Sadly, they don't know all he wants is money. And not them.
Finn is very outgoing as you can see. People love him, old women think he's the sweetest thing. He pulls off that little kid act, when they get praises. All for the fans. And the key word in there, is act. Really Finn could care less. You could say he has a cold heart; for using people. Maybe he does. Truthfully, if someone found out the truth, he wouldn't care. Unless that person is close to him. Once Finn actually makes friends with someone, he becomes really caring toward that person. He would do anything. Man or woman. Best friend, or a girl he likes. But once they find out that he's pulling the cute act on them (before) or others, clearly they are going to get mad. He would would hate himself for not being honest. But that's how it works for Finn's live. Only way for the guy to earn his precious money.
Description: Finn has his hair spiked up. Actually, its naturally like that. He keeps his bed head through out the day. Maybe he puts a little tree sap in there, to keep it from falling. But really its pretty spiky. His head shape is like an oval. That holds his hazel eyes. That are brown, green, and sometimes blue. Depends on his mood. He has a pretty large hawk nose. He hates it, but oh well. And his lips frame a prefect smile. Finn is pretty tough. Just not like a body builder. He can take care of himself with his muscles. Maybe up to someone lager then him. Unless they are completely built. Truthfully, he thinks that's pretty creepy. He builds up those muscles by lifting up heavy objects from someones house. First it was hard, and long. But once he done it more then once it got easier.

{ Well, that's good. c: I'm incredibly happy that I made your day. I tried my best to keep out of historical inaccuracies. XD Kind of having a brain fart with this guy's form }

Username: Ellis Wolfee
Name: Charlemagne
Age: Thirty
Gender: Male
Occupation: Mercenary

Brief Personality:
With his fairly mild manner and laid-back attitude mixed with a twist sense of morals, Charlemagne is a fairly interesting man. Over the years he's hardened so that few things faze him. He does try and be kind, but figures life is too short if he always is. He comes first in his mind, and is much more important than anyone and everyone.

Description:
Charlemagne is simple looking, his most interesting feature is his spiky carrot-colored hair, or perhaps his muddy brown eyes. He has a small button nose which gives him a more feminine appearance, much to his displeasure. His build is large, with wide shoulders and a tall frame.
He usually wears thick leather with cloths over it, carrying two very large swords around with him at all times. He refers to one as "Wife" and the other as "Lover"

Username: Ellis Wolfee
Name: Nuri
Age: Twenty-five
Gender: Female
Occupation: Gypsy dancer/pickpocket
Brief Personality:
Nuri's a "free spirit". She's fiercely independent, and believes in doing what she wants when she wants. Regardless of what others are doing, she'll do what she feels is right. Whether this is stealing bread to feed some children, or dancing for money varies. She isn't generally swayed by arguments of what one is “supposed” to do. She tends to avoid, ignore, or become upset by people who are judgmental or controlling. She has it in her to find the courage to test life’s boundaries and limits, and to try things that other people think are impossible, unimportant, or impractical.

However, due to the high value she puts in free choice, Nuri often does something which she shouldn't or doesn't take things seriously. she can be challenging, yes, and difficult to understand, but she loves life with a passion that makes it all seem worthwhile.
Description:
Nuri isn't an ugly woman. Her skin is the color of a redwood tree's bark, toned even darker due to the amount of time she spends outside. Her hair is long and flowing, easily her nicest feature; it's taken care of well and a nice brown color. Her nose is hard and straight, known as a "Greek nose". She has wide hips made for baring children, much as she dislikes it.
Nuri usually has a blue paint on her, the same blue as her eyes. When doing nothing for the day she refrains from getting someone to paint her, but when working she claims it makes her stand out a bit more. It certainly does add a flare to what her otherwise fairly plain looks. Especially when paired with what she usually wears: a loose cream colored outfit with blue designs thread into it, and a scarf the same colors.

[Temperance.]

Username: [Ashwyn]
Name: [Amira Jade Castiel]
Age: [21]
Gender: [Female]
Occupation: [Thief, though she does some dancing as well]
Brief Personality:
[Amira, or Mira as she prefers to be called, has the perfect personality for what she specializes in, namely thieving. Quiet and very forgettable in what she says and does she's the sort of person who you have a faint recollection of meeting before but can't remember who. This has enabled her to become an absolutely fantastic thief and, though in public she's not one to flaunt her talents, among her friends she has a completely different air about her. Calm, collected, yet also something of a flirt she is unrecognizable when among her friends...or rather, she's VERY recognizable, a fact that changes the instant she's "working". In that instance her head is usually down, face curtained by her hair, with a complete air of normalcy and even dullness about her that makes her someone you almost actively TRY to forget.]

History:
[Meh, don't feel like writing one right now XD]

Description: [Mira stands at 5' 1.5" with long, luxurious, dark brown hair she has a very exotic look to her when she actually allows her normal personality to show through. With a confidant gait and a sort of "dancers air" she moves through the world with a breezy confidence that draws people, and men, to her like flies to honey. That being said she knows how to make herself invisible and is frighteningly good at it, to the point that even her friends are frightened by it on occasion. She has a nice hour-glass shape and wears fashionable yet still very gypsy, clothes that leave no room to wonder what ethnicity she is.]
