Biography[]
Backstory[]
Lupe was born into a traveling Romani family sometime in the early 1490s. As a child, she often moved from place to place with her relatives, who traded valuables, performed music, danced, or told people's fortunes. However, she would get into trouble for stealing from others, mostly the rich and/or corrupt. Her family disapproved of this so much that they eventually left her behind when she was twelve, disowning her; it was the last time Lupe ever saw them. Left to fend for herself, she continued stealing and trying to get by. Lupe eventually ended up in Seville by her late teens, deciding to settle there.
