• Biography Serena was born to a tribe of Romalian Gypsies, she was born the 6th of 10 children to her parents. She traveled most of the known world by the time she was eight years old and could speak almost every known language by the time she was 15, she could read and write in a quarter of those languages. Roaming from town to town and settlement to settlement the Romalian Gypsies earned their living from their famous artistic talents. Within their tribe they had the most beautiful and seductive Belly Dancers; exotic and hypnotic they often drew huge crowds whenever they danced around a campfire. They danced with fans lit ablaze and blazing balls of fire attached to rope that they would spin in graceful patterns as they moved their hips to the beat of the drums. Many musicians were within their tribe as well, drumming up and strumming beats that were nearly irresistible to dance to, Painters whose paintings would make Da Vinci himself green with envy, Glassblowers who could make beautiful and colorful creations, Fire eaters, Fortune Tellers, Gamblers they were all there and they were her family.

Unfortunately as famous as the Romalian Gypsies were for their extraordinary creative talents, they were just as infamous for items that didn't belong to them ending up in their possession. They practiced what they would call "Extended borrowing." They would often "Borrow" things and they tended to forget the returning part. Whenever they entered the outskirts of a city they were greeted with mixed welcome, many of the gypsies had their wanted posters up in different towns, some of them thought it funny and would compete with each other to see how many towns they could become wanted in. Some of the towns adhered strictly to this bounty and some just let it go. Unfortunately as Sirena got older things didn't remain so happy.

Her parents debts began to follow them wherever they went, her father addicted to gambling and drinking and her mother in denial using her Taro cards to reassure her that she was right, though she was never satisfied with the answers her cards gave her. Unfortunately one day while they were going through a marketplace her father's sticky hands were caught red and the punishment would have been the loss of his entire arm, so quickly to appease the large, angry nobleman he promised him the most beautiful belly dancer in their tribe: his daughter Sirena, she was indeed the most seductive and talented of the dancers, but she had a giant secret. Her father sold her off that day for the price of the golden pendant he had stolen just a moment before and for his hand. What did he care? He had 10 kids, that was a lot of mouths to feed, one less couldn't hurt.

From that moment on Sirena was traded and sold from master to master and she was usually gotten rid of quickly when her masters realized she had robbed them blind (no pun intended), until she was bought by a rather strange nobleman in a tavern, her master at the time was beating her to the brink of death for stealing a necklace when he hadn't fed her for a week and she was going to sell the necklace to buy some bread and then she looked up to see a strong hand staying the arm of her drunk master and that was it, he bought her after that. She has been traveling with him ever since as his entertainer and servant. Her master Cassius is often cruel to her, but she knows he is not a cruel person....his life has been cruel to him and so she understands his temper and looks for the good in him even though he puts on a huge facade of being happy and the "Life of the Party."

Serena is accompanying her master to this month long festival as an entertainer and servant.

• PreferencesShe loves reading and learning anything she can, she loves all her music and her violin and voice.
• Special TalentsShe has a talented tongue and can speak many languages and read and write in many languages, Her grandmother taught her how to dance and music, she is a skilled Tribal Fire Dancer which is belly dancing with two blazing balls attached at the end of a rope and swung around gracefully in fantastic patterns as you move your hips. Her grandmother also taught her how to play the violin and sing. Her grandfather had taught her how to use her daggers and the art of fire eating and sword swallowing and her entire camp was skilled herbalists often creating teas and concoctions from the plants around them. They knew every kind of plant and how to find them and even though with Sirena's blindness she knows the scent of each and every plant, her tribe had to spend a little extra time with her so that she could memorize the scent of every plant and where to find them, what kind of environment you'd find them in and their growing conditions, eventually she became a very skilled herbalist; creating hallucinogenic teas from certain leaves and many other medicinal drugs.
• Clothing style Sirena is often wearing Tribal Belly Dancing garb or a medieval wenches outfit with the off the shoulder shirt and the corset. .
• Anything else? Yeah Sirena is blind and often has to get a feel for her surroundings before she begins to walk around comfortably.
