I created Char to be the main character in a story for the cursed CIM tests. I was tired of the sphinxs in every single story ever using the same riddle. People would catch on eventually wouldn't they? So in my story, a prince comes with the answer to the old riddle ready, hoping to win her treasure, instead she asks him what's orange and sounds like a parrot, and eats him when he answers wrong.
