Name Given at Birth: Vladislaus Tiberius Kasimir Voyszeck Salvatiko
Nicknames: Well, I am called Tibor, from one of my middle names.
Hometown or where you were born: I was born in the glorious province of Wallachia , Romania , to which my namesake, Vladislaus Dracula III, once ruled.
Age: 16 years
Class: I am an orphan, a gypsy, and a servant to gypsies, so I am very low.
What do you do, your main function in life/society: I play the drum for the Gypsies when they dance, though, rarely, I do dance. I do the chores the Maestro needs in running the caravan.
Have you ever gone skinny-dipping/do you know how to swim: Doesn’t everyone skinny-dip whenever they take a bath? I do know how to swim, not very well mind you.
Do you make fun of people: Well, I think I might, shameless as it may seem, but only when I feel that the others deserve to be made fun of.
Favorite Color: Green, it reminds me of the trees and grass in the spring time and it makes me happy.
Have you ever committed or been convicted of a crime: Back before I met the Maestro and the Gypsies, I would sometimes take food from stalls in my village. I was never caught though, so I guess it is alright.
Closest Friends: The Maestro, he had found me when he came to Romania and took me in like a son and taught me to play the drum. It is because of him that I am still alive.
One Pillow or two: I never do sleep with a pillow; I think that never using one as a child may have made it so I’m more comfortable without one.
Pets: I know the maestro does not approve of pets, but I still own a kitten I found on the streets in Canterbury .
Favorite Type of Music: I enjoy the music of my homeland. I love listening to the mandolin and the balalaika. The Kolos are always fun to watch.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Practicing the violin and the Drum, I also enjoy dancing, though I do not dance as much as play. I also like to eat; it is one of my favorite pastimes.
Personal Hygiene: I bathe very frequently; I do not like to smell bad. I also regularly clean my teeth. I think it is rather disgusting when people aren’t clean.
Favorite Food: I enjoy eating food’s from my native land, such as the szarlotka and the piergori, but I also do enjoy eating the marvelous crepes Luciana has such a passion for.
Are your parents alive, do you get along with them?: My mother died at childbirth with me and my father took care of me until he fell ill, then he left me at the village and he died. I did get along with my father.
Favorite place to relax: I relax in a willow tree, just near a forest outside of Canterbury . I like to watch the way the tree moves when the wind blows.
Favorite Holy Day/Why?: I have always loved the festival of Samhain. Ever since I was a little boy, I have loved the peace and calmness, and think it is very spiritual when we try to reach the spirits of the dead. I always try to contact my parents.
Favorite Drink: Although the best, and most convenient, drink is water, whenever I can, I always buy a bottle of rum.
What’s your bedtime?: I normally fall sleep after all the other gypsies have fallen asleep. I like to wait and listen to the night. Sometimes, I feel as if I were supposed to be a night creature, instead of one of the day.
What, if anything, do you wear on you feet? I would much prefer bare feet, but the maestro insists on sandals.
Are you married or single: I am single as of the moment.
Do you have Family/who are they? As I had said, all my family had died. I think that somewhere, there might be a distant cousin, or something.
Favorite Entertainment: I enjoy watching the Gypsies dance, but I also like to watch the kolos danced by beautiful Romanian girls.
Favorite subject in School or Chore growing up: Learning to dance the Bunjevatchko in my village.
Least Favorite Subject or Chore growing up: I had to clean the chamber pots, and I also had to scrape the horse stables.
Favorite Sport: Jousting looks like it could be quite a thrill, but I would be too frightened to play.
Most Humiliating Moment: When I had first tried to play the drum, the maestro told me to hit the drum as hard as I could, and I tried, but I missed and slapped a thorn bush, I was teased mercilessly by the other gypsies.
Proudest Moment: When I had been discovered by the maestro.
Craziest Person or silliest you know: I do think both Slavvo and Evgeny vie for this position. When they argue in the middle of their dances and forget the steps it always makes me laugh.
What do you look for in the opposite sex?: A slender and refined girl that has dark red hair and enjoys a good dance.
In our Hierarchical Society everybody had somebody "over" them, who is your overlord? That would be first and foremost the maestro.
How do you feel about that person?: The Maestro is a very kind and intelligent person. If it weren’t for him, I would still be in Ungrov weaving shawls to earn money.
Favorite Sport to watch: Jousting, It is quite a thrill to see the opponents going at each other with huge pikes.
Do you remember your first kiss: No, I am saving my first kiss for a significant girl.
Where is your favorite "Vacation" spot? I would love to go to Edinburgh , but if not that, then I would love to see the sunny shores of Greece .
Have you ever been overseas: I have, I traveled with the Kumpania to Egypt , Paris , Brussels , and even Madagascar , which I found most enthralling.
