Cluracan offends his queen so badly that she sends him to the court of Llinor, where tradition demands that he marry a lady of the royal house; whereupon Cluracan's nemesis – identical to him in every way except his sexual orientation – takes Cluracan's place. The Cluracan is named after a drunken leprechaun of Irish mythology, the Cluricaun. Nuala Nuala is a faerie given to Dream at the end of Season of Mists, who takes on the housekeeping duties of the Dreaming, only stopping when her brother Cluracan takes her back to Faerie in The Kindly Ones. When she leaves, Dream grants her permission to summon him at need; and when she asks to become his paramour, he refuses. She subsequently appears in the Sandman spinoff series, The Dreaming. Auberon Auberon is a character in the comic book series The Sandman and The Books of Magic. He is seen for the first time in Sandman#19 as Auberon of Dom-Daniel, and again in several issues of The Books of Magic and in the Books of Faerie miniseries. The character was inspired by Oberon of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania Titania is a character in Neil Gaiman's comic book series The Sandman. In The Sandman Titania is the queen of the fay; she first appears in issue#19. The character was inspired by Shakespeare's Titania (Fairy Queen) in the play A Midsummer Night's Dream. There is implication that she in the past was a lover of Dream's, although this is never confirmed. After The Sandman Titania is also a major character in the comic book The Books of Magic, of which the first four issues were written by Gaiman, and its spin-off series The Books of Faerie. In the latter series, it is revealed that she was a human girl who crossed over into the fay realm and was then adopted by the previous queen of the fay, and received her faerie powers from a circlet seized by her from that queen. Despite this power, it was revealed that she is illiterate, and so regularly uses Dream's library because its special properties allow its users to read books in any language, including those they cannot speak. There are suggestions that she may be the mother of the series' protagonist, Timothy Hunter. Puck Puck is a brown-furred trickster and hobgoblin, who appears several times in The Sandman. Puck aids the Norse God Loki
