Not always, depending on the features weather you're roundish (Slavic) or kinda Germanic, but not Noric (blonde Dinaric) which is local.
ShinyDust looks like from Mirdita because that's how they look usually, nothing to do with blondes.
The stories are that Mirditors were elite soldiers during Ottoman times (fact) and that they brought non-Albanian brides when they came back from wars (claim). On the other hand, what's a fact is that they did marry Muslim Dibrans with the condition to convert them to Catholicism.
@Shiny, if you're surname is Kola I might know one of your cousins that looks a lot like you XD
