Guess the Book Character

Yeah, your typical "Guess X Character" game except limited to a medium, specifically books!

• They can come from any literary source, whether that'll be novels, short stories, and poems.
• If a media source is played in one round, it is allowed to be played in the next round.
• The current descriptor must post a recap of the progress for every new page, and edit that post accordingly with the progress in the page.
• A player may declare a stump after 24 hours has passed from the last question and its answer. If this happens, the current descriptor reveals their character, and the next round goes to the stumped player.
• If a question needs to be replaced because it has already been answered, please do not erase the question. Just add the new question below it. In fact, the act of completely erasing a question is frowned upon.
• If you're adding a clue, please keep it related on a literary basis.

• The character must originate from any written text.
  • Characters that appear in mythological and religious text such as The Bible, The Iliad, The Epic of Gilgamesh, and The Mahabharata qualify for the game.
  • Literature that is considered fairy tales, such as the works of Lewis Carroll and Hans Christian Andersen, and nursery rhymes (as they can be told in poems) can be played in the game. However, fairy tales that originated as stories that passed through word of mouth and were written down much later (such as Cinderella) don't qualify unless a specific literary adaptation of them is played (for example, The Lunar Chronicles characters qualify as they're literary characters based on fairy tales).
  • Characters from plays, such as The Crucible and those written by William Shakespeare, qualify since they're a type of literary work and Shakespeare has contributed a lot to western literature.
  • Novelizations of non-literary work generally don't count for the thread; characters that are introduced in novelizations and don't appear in the original work are fair game however.
  • Literary spin-offs of non-literary franchises are fine, but only characters who first appeared in said spin-offs qualify for the thread; characters from the non-literary entries in the franchise don't qualify.
  • Comic books, manga, graphic novels, and visual novels don't qualify as they're different mediums. Light Novels and books that have some pictures in them still qualify.
