Working Title: DarkSkinnedBlond: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=eizlw2ys&trope=DarkSkinnedBlond From YKTTW]]
CharredKnight: I clarified that Lal'c was in the sequel series Diebuster(I used the Japanese name of the series) that came AFTER FLCL.
*Katsuhagi: Thanks for clarifying that. I didn't actually know which came first.

{{Meta4}}: How dark must one be to qualify? I'm wondering if the olive-complexioned [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=376 Miss Jones]] from ''GunnerkriggCourt'' would count.

LooneyToons: Deleted the recent addition
* The Clayr of Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series ({{Sabriel}} and its sequels).
because the Clayr are ''already'' listed. Try actually ''reading'' the examples before adding your own.

SlatzGrobnik: clipping a weak example that's got {{natter}} and bound to get more.
* In ''DungeonsAndDragons'', drow are evil subterranean elves that never (or almost never) see the light of day. Despite this, their hair is stark white (with some variance depending on age and other factors) and their skin is uniformly black. Like, deep space black.
** This is explained in the {{Forgotten Realms}} setting by drow being cursed for their betrayal of the other elves to their current appearance, so none would ever mistake them, they originally hailed from a jungle environment.
*** Dark skin? Curse? ''Jungle''? [[UnfortunateImplications hmm.....]]
** Nope. Ssri'tel'quessir (aka Ilythiiri) were dark before curse ("Descent"). Lolth backstabbed her pantheon 20000 years earlier. Still, they ''didn't'' started [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Crown_Wars_overview Crown Wars]], but were consistently "[[TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty unconventonal]]", until this alienated even allies and annoyed the rest of elven gods too much. In all versions the curse did tweaked drow magical properties so that they aren't normal elves anymore and acquired some photophobia (drow wizards are ''accustomed to'' the bright light, but mostly still don't like it). In both old and new versions, the curse affected ''all dark elves alike, guilty or not, anywhere'', and it ''can'' be [[http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?whichpage=1&TOPIC_ID=1290 reversed for an individual]], but apparently ''no one cared'' to fix what they overdid. SoYeah. In the new ed., it also changed their skin ''from dark brown'' to ebony and [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Faerzress#Faerzress_and_drow_culture warped all teleport magic in the Underdark]] so they won't jump back and forth.
