Denisea (not her real name) is a noblewoman by birth, and a direct descendant of the famous Queen of Ancient Egypt, Nadahnefu. Our Countess ran away from home to escape an arranged marriage, and fell in with bad company...gypsies! Although something of an outsider to gypsy ways, she was drawn to them by the freedom of the dance. She's the most straight-laced member of the troupe, but the other gypsies are working on that. Thanks to her noble upbringing, she has enough education that she can count all the way to eight---sometimes even to sixteen! She has a soft spot for four-legged friends: dogs, cats, horses, centaurs... She also has a soft spot for pirates and musketeers. But the pirates and musketeers had best keep a sharp eye out for musik-eteer Karl, who swings a mean trumpet...
