The Gnarl

The bear charged the door and bounced right off. On the other side of the door, the maid was leaning against the door, exuding love to it with all her might. The force of her love sealed the door securely. Nothing could get through. Not even a ramming bear. But the bear was persistent, and bounced off the door several more times. Then, almost by accident, the bear found the edge of the spell and crashed through the wall next to the door. "Bear! Bear!", screamed the maid as she went running away through the Mansion. The bear rampaged through the Mansion, sending the Jim O'Leary's scurrying in every direction. This was the Jim O'Leary Mansion and always had been for many generations of Jim O'Leary's. The current Jim O'Leary had been preparing for this moment all his life, and even before. This was the moment in which all the Jim O'Leary's would leave the Mansion, never to return. Meet the Bear, its Master, the Jim O'Leary's who wear no expression on their faces are are cursed by rainstorms always hovering over them. Nevertheless, the Jim O'Leary's are kind to all. Meet the John O'Leary's who are always looking for a fight. Meet the servants who have their own magic and The Gnarl who are wingless fairies.
