History
Although many Concordian fae come from distant cultures and lands, perhaps none save the eshu have adapted to their new home quite as well as the clurichaun. Still strongest in their native Ireland, these endearing and resourceful fae have made the transition to America with grave and humor.
Clurichaun currently suffer only from one problem in their new home, which causes them endless frustration - the American perception of leprechauns (another term for the kith) In particular, Concordian natives seem disappointed to discover that a clurichaun doesn't wear green outfits with buckled shoes and carry a little hooked pipe, and more than one redcap band has fruitlessly tried to wrest the location of a clurichaun's pot of gold from him. Seelie clurichaun chide others for this misconception, while the Unseelie are always ready to pick a fight with any fae with any fae foolish enough to compare them to a certain cereal box character.
Clurichaun are strongly Irish in their mannerisms, even those who have been in Concordia for several generations. They often look the part as well, with bright red or tawny hair and deep blue or green eyes in both their mortal and faerie seemings; those born into families of African descent often have a red tint to their hair and striking hazel or light brown eyes. Clurichaun seldom grow very tall, and their faces typically get laugh lines very early in life. Although they wear what they like, most cluricahun decidedly prefer green, gray and brown, and in no case will they be caught without wearing green somewhere on their persons, whether it's s stone in a ring or a ribbon in their hair.
