Romani (or conversationally Gypsies) are a group of peoples originating from northeastern India who migrated to most of the European continent.
In comic books Romani are often either in nameless groups or in several cases people who posses magic powers (i.e. Scarlet Witch). Rarely there is a character who is not using magic or depicted as lowlife.
