Representation of Ethnic Roma Women in animation. Roma gypsies originated in Indian Sub Continent and migrated to Romania and rest of Europe a long time ago. These people saw the rule of the Byzantine Empire which was was continuation of Roman Empire and in many ways mimicked the Romans. They gypsies suffered at the hands of Byzantines and also watched their defeat.
In season 4, where Greta says " My family escaped from the Romans " she is referring to the Byzantine Romans. She also says "my family arrived here when it was empty place " referring to the migration in Transylvania. If you look at the time line of Castlevania which is 15th century and look up Romania during mediavel Europe where the story takes place, you will find existence of local Romanis beside other ethnic groups like Tatars, Slavs,Goths,Szekelys and such. Historically speaking, black people went to Romania much later after 15th century, sometime around 19th - 20th century during communist era.
Greta's ethnic representation is accurate when you match the the timeline of the show with the real thing. 👌
Greta of Castlevania - One on the left is a more dignified chief of village.
Esmeralda of Disney - One on the right is a flamboyant performer in the streets.
I’ve been coming up with this mystery circus story for a while but I can’t figure out if I want to it be a Murder Mystery or a Zombies Apocalypse story. Anyway, I drew some more. They don’t have names yet.
Psst! This is just an excuse to make a Y/N X Buggy the Clown story-sort of))

Remember : Not every dark skin person is black. There are several other races brown skinned races living on this big planet. If its one thing fuckflix did ok with Greta, it is her culture they presented correctly.
