Talk:Mother's Helping Hand/School/Non-Humans/Races/Leprechaun

FYI: By my research, Leprechans are not a creature of Irish folk-lore, and are just something that an Irish business man in the United States in the late 19th century came up with in order to market Italian culture as something more approachable, kinda like how sweet and sour chicken is really not Chinese but Americans like to eat it and think of it as Chinese.

Leprechauns ARE based off of something that DOES exist in Irish folk-lore though. The various and many-varried different types of "little people." Honestly, these "little people" are also perfectly described by how you've written up the Brownie, so an accurate representation of Leprechauns by the origin they were based off of would have them essentially being identical to Brownies in every conceivable way to the point it's not really worth having them be different species at all.

(That whole stuff about pots of gold and rainbows were parts of the marketing, that stuff doesn't exist anywhere in Irish folklore.) Jemini (talk) 16:19, 5 April 2020 (CEST)
