Name: Romany.

Also Answers To: "The Diva Of Magic." "Oi, you with the blue hair."

Occupation / Title: Diva of Magic, Wanderer, Seer, Philosopher, Chanteuse, Muse, Entertainer, Flirt.

Brief Summary: Her adopted title, Diva Of Magic, just about says it all. Flamboyant, scintillating, theatrical to her marrow, Romany is to life as rainbow is to sky. She is the only member of the Magic Circle who performs in ostrich feathers and a tiara (at least as far as we know). She's also - in my 'so what?' opinion - one of the best and most accomplished stage entertainers I've ever seen. She can charm an audience in about no seconds flat, and keep them hanging on her every word, move and gesture for as long as she wants. This is quite an achievement. She's funny too.

On a more personal and scandalous note, I'd also like to reveal to the world, with great pride, that Ms Romany and I have - on at least one occasion - halved a Twix together. This is widely acknowledged as the most intimate act that two adults can enjoy, and I'm sure there aren't many men who can make this boast. So there. She bought a Twix and offered me half! Ha! Men of the world, seethe with insane jealosy all you like! See if I care!

World Records Held:
Most Flamboyant Magician
Best Coins Across Routine
Most Sophisticated And Accompished Flirt In History
Naughtiest Wink
Best Use Of Blue Wool
Best faux-Lancashire accent

Other Notable Achievements & Honours: It would be futile to try and list Romany's many achievements and honours. Besides, the internet just hasn't got the capacity.

Best Party Trick: Wearing a wig made mostly of blue wool, and somehow making it look really, really cool, impressive and not at all weird.

I also really like Romany's faux-Lancashire accent. I was born and raised in Lancashire (a part of north-West England with a very distinctive accent). These days I've travelled around so much that I don't sound like I come from Lancashire, although I can still do the accent if I want to. Romany wasn't born and raised in Lancashire, but when she adopts a 'mock' Lancashire accent for fun she's really rather good at it. This can keep me quietly amused for a long time.

Special Powers: (1) Can charm any audience in seconds, even if there's a language barrier. (2) Can produce profound thoughts, poetic observations and childish giggles in the space of 60 seconds. (3) Super-flirting ability, works on any target at any distance. (4) Ability to wear any colour, no matter how loud or outrageous, and make it look perfectly fine and natural.

Known Weaknesses: Allergic to telephones or long phone conversations.

Catchphrase: "I just felt today was a blue hair day."

Note for the clueless: a 'Twix' (TM) is a popular confection manufactured by the Mars corporation. It consists of two narrow bars of biscuit covered in chocolate and other kinds of fattening and unhealthy goo. It is possible to buy these singly, but they usually come wrapped two to a packet. The normal practice is to buy a Twix and stuff your face with both of the goo-encrusted bars contained therein. To unwrap a Twix and then actually give away one of the two bars to a friend is considered by many to be the ultimate sacrifice and the purest, noblest expression of friendship, love and fidelity that two adults can share.
