::Likes::
- Dancing! She is a beautiful dancer, mainly with the quicker steps, able to spin and turn elegantly without feeling dizzy. She usually wears lots of jewellery so that it clinks together and makes a beautiful sound to accompany her moves. Not so keen on the slower dances.
- Although she doesn't have much musical talent she is able to play a few cords on the Buzuq, nothing special.
- Her singing voice is also not the best, but she does love to join in!
- She also has a special love for the horses that pull the carts, tending to them as she would her own children. Makign sure they are comfortable and well-cared for. She loves to groom them and make their coats shine.
- Like most women she has a great fondness of shiny things - especially jewellery - spending ages selecting and wearing them and making sure they glimmer beautifully. She loves to look pretty and this is her way of making herself feel like a proper lady.
- But where her true love lies is in her natural talent to look into the future, telling the fortunes of all who desire - for a small fee however - loving the abilities to aid and help people with her gifts.

The eldest daughter of the small Gypsy family, Roxana is a woman of decorum. Brought up into a tribe she is proud of she knew nothing but the love of her family and her culture. However, at the same time there is a part of her that feels trapped by society, needing to be chaperoned around in fear of other men looking at her in the wrong way. With this feeling whirling inside of her, she can often be spontaneous, craving excitement and adventure that one doesn't always find in a tribe that constantly moves around.
You could say there are two halves to this woman, one a dignified lady who is placid and gentle, with another more exciting girl trying desperately to break out.
She has a great love of music, something with a beat she can dance to, and where she comes across as rather timid, with people she feels truly comfortable with she comes out of her shell. She adores her friends and cares for them more than anything, quite prepared to laugh and flounce around with them.
However, with males she is rather twitchy and nervous, perhaps of the way she has been led to think that they can be dangerous. This view worries her parents into thinking that a match might never come to her, putting further strain on the young gypsy woman.
However where the surface there is a shy and timid child, and beneath lies a girl desperate for adventure there is yet another part of this girl that has not yet been seen.
For within her works the mysterious of fortune telling, of predicting the future and trying to aid people through her magical works.
She is a woman who is led by the tarot and by the crystal ball, seeing things in them that is a gift not all people have. This is where she becomes serious, an enigma to others, a part of her she will never share nor speak about. She is a curious child, yes indeed.

Price Ranges and applying to be an artist
Okay so now the information about prices and stuff.
If you've gotten this far and are still interested in drawing for me then next, simply PM me with a couple of samples and prices for each.
I'm interested in ALL styles, realistic, anime, chibi, sketches, water colour, CG. I am really not fussy at all and am able to appreciate all methods of artwork.
If however, you wish to simply gift art me - I will love you forever - then just PM finished work to me or post the link in a comment to this journal entry.
If I am interested I will get back to you, if not then please don't be upset. It may be that your style isn't for me, or that I've simply run out of funds. If lack of funds occur I may get back to you at a later time.
Thankyou.
