Gypsy Aris

n of

Aris Maye (referred to simply as Gypsy Aris) is a gypsy who lives in a tent in Varrock. The sign outside her tent has a large blinking eye.

She is involved with several quests and has vast magical powers; for example, she casts a Tempus Cessit spell in Recipe for Disaster to stop time. It appears she also has an apparent inhuman lifespan. She claims to be seven times as old as the number of legs on the stools in The Blue Moon Inn times seven, which would make her either 168, 210, or possibly, 315, depending on whether she is referring to the bar room only, the entire lower level, or both downstairs and upstairs, respectively.

She has great knowledge about the history of Gielinor and the magical arts, as shown in Recipe for Disaster. Aris is also known to Wally's descendant, Sir Prysin, who believes her to now be dead due to her elderly age, even during his youth. Yet, he respects her enough to agree to give Silverlight to a total stranger when Varrock was in danger of annihilation from Delrith.

Trivia

 * Her name is an anagram of "Gypsy Airs", which is a music piece with the original German title "Zigeunerweisen".
 * She used to be called just Gypsy, but this was changed so people would know her name is 'Aris', vital information needed for quests.
 * During Demon Slayer, she reveals that she is a follower of Guthix.
 * During Recipe for Disaster, her name is Gypsy, not Gypsy Aris.
 * During Recipe for Disaster she refers to herself as the Wise Old Man's "bubbykins", indicating a possible (maybe past) relationship between the two.
 * During Recipe for Disaster, the Culinaromancer says "You!" after spotting Gypsy Aris. This may be an inkling that they have battled before.
 * On 15 December 2009 Gypsy Aris and her tent received a graphical makover.
 * If a player is a female and talked to Aris,and clicked Demon Slayer,Gypsy Aris will say:"Greetings young one.You're a hero now.That was a good bit of demon-slaying.".Instead of heroine,it is placed as "hero".(after Demon Slayer).
 * There was a glitch that when you clicked "Nevermind" option,it will still continue to the conversation of the "Demon Slayer".This is now fixed.(After Demon Slayer)
 * Strangely though, she was the only one with Oracle who didn't talk about the strange power. Jagex may had meant that Dungeoneering was a members-only skill, but then they did decide to make it f2p. There is no proof of this, however.
 * During Recipe for Disaster, if you inspect Pirate Pete she says "My Gypsy senses are tingling". This is reference to Spider Man's quote "My spider senses are tingling!".
 * As she is extremely old for a human, it is speculated she might be Lucien's daughter.
 * After completion of Demon Slayer, speaking to her and choosing "Stop calling me that!" followed by "Okay, but how old are you?" will result in her stating: "Count the number of legs on the stools in the Blue Moon inn, and multiply that number by seven." Your character will respond by saying, "Er, yeah, whatever." (In case you're wondering, that comes to: 4 legs * 7 stools * 7 = 196 years old)
