I was working a new Ars Magica character. Then I did a little research and found that the Roma didn't reach any part of Europe until the late 14th Century. Harumph. Oh, well. Place her as being from one of the medieval Iberian states, Navarre would work nicely. The main concept is a hot-blooded mage with strong fairy blood.

Silly Roma, you couldn't leave India 200 years earlier so I could have an awesome character?
