In the campaign I've been running, the clan's wily old trickster, Jarn Two-Measure (an NPC), has a reputation as a ladies' man. Being a trickster, of course, he tends to get away with it and then find himself being falsely accused when he's innocent but can't prove it for some convoluted reason. Caused a feud with the Broken Spear clan, he did.

Hmmm. Cyrano de Trickster. It fits.
For MGF, I can see this ending up as "How the young lad did all the wooing and faced down the girl's ugly and dangerous brothers but ending up feeling short changed when, somehow, the trickster got the girl". Then, when the whole truth gets out - probably 'cos the trickster lets it slip - *everyone* has it in for him. :)
