Welcome home, Brenna.
You may have already heard of the Florilegium. There are a number of
files there on the bardic arts and the arts of the rapier which might
be of interest as well as some on archery.
While not exactly a newcomer you might also find some of the files in
the NEWCOMERS section to be useful.
Are you using "Gypsy" as a general adjective? Or do you wish to base
your persona on the Rom, often misnamed Gypsies (because it was once
misthought that they originated in Egypt)? If so, here are some files
in the CULTURES section that you might find informative:
Gypsies-art (14K) 4/ 7/02 "Gypsies in Period" by Sayidda
Rakli Zada
Orlenda.
Gypsies-msg (60K) 9/ 4/02 Gypsy culture. Also called Rom or
Romani.
Gypsy-tmeline-art (12K) 3/ 1/03 "Timeline of the Roma" by Sayidda
Rakli
Zada Orlenda.
And let's see. If you are all ears, perhaps you need some adornment for
them.
In the ACCESSORIES section: :-)
ear-rings-msg (8K) 7/12/02 Medieval ear rings. Men's and
women's.
