Churara

Also referred to as a Sword of the Romany, these are a small group of people within the Romany who keep themselves separate from the political tides of The People. They have specialized skill in weapons and protection. They represent the strength and the passion of the Romany, taking the role of enforcers or police within the Romany families. The Romany are generally pacifists, so to be a Sword of the Romany sets these people outside the norm for this culture. This is not a position that many Romany aspire to although the Swords of the Romany are looked up to as role models in some Clans. They serve their people in the best way they know, doing those tasks and facing challenges that most Romany would find impossible. Despite the dark purpose they represent, placing them at odds with the Romany beliefs in many cases, they are grudgingly respected as an important part of Romany culture. Without the Swords of the Romany, the pacifist portions of the Romany would be without the means to defend themselves.

Each Clan or Alliance of Clans may organize their Churara separately or differently or have a complete lack of. Not all Churara belong to organizations like the KSDF and may act alone or in small groups without the approval of Familia or hierarchy. Sometimes Churara are even those who are considered Mahrime(Outcast) or Gadje(Outsider/Non-Roma).
