Kirvi Ataman: The head animal groom.

Nano Bino: The carnival's resident huckster and pimp, he exudes a greasy charm and lies with a the best of them.
Bara Chuchi: A big breasted, middle age gypsy woman who is the lead in the Gypsy Strip Show; she also acts as a madame for her daughters and Smentena.
But Guli: Bara Chuchi's daughter by Nano Bino, she is beautiful young gypsy girl in the flower of womanhood, the second in the Gypsy Strip Show and a budding prostitute.
Puterdea: Bara Chuchi's daughter by Zoros the Stongman, she is what they call a 'big girl'; she has no particlar talent for dancing, but dutifully 'turns tricks' at her mother's request.
Smentena: Cream as she is known, is a Nordic beauty who is being trained to dance by Bara Cuchi and But Guli; her past remains a mystery, but no one asks in the carnival.
Chorey: The carnival's official 'thief', a habitual drunkard who makes his living taking the blame for the carnival's less savory money making schemes. He usually spends more time behind bars than outside, but he is a integral part of the carnival way of life and as long as he has a bottle, he doesn't care.

Johai: A combination of geek and medium; a.k.a - Ghost Vomit.
Cheeb: The carnival's professional lick-spittle who unceasingly compliments the gadje customers, but Cheeb's razor sharp wit can be purchased for equally offensive insults.

Niamo: The families of the carnival members.
Puyuria: Gadje gypsy-groupies.
Shanglo: The lone Rom constable, who patrols the carnival, presumably to deter crime.
