"She's [Rizka is] only half gypsy," Mayor Pumpa notes, and this turns out to be a key aspect of her character. Whereas she shares much in common with her Gypsy father, from his dark hair to his cleverness, she shares with her mother, who had been a townswoman, a love of Greater Dunitsa and its people. Her love of place conflicts with her desire to wander about the world, and the conflict is a source of tension in her character that she resolves only at the end of the novel.
