Full Name: Phix, or simply The Sphinx Fandom: POTO, original, other (specify)? Greek mythology Age: Immortal Height: 5'10" bipedal Weight: 150 lbs. Build: Supple, powerful Hair: Black Eyes: Red Nationality: Egyptian, more or less Job: Guardian of ancient secrets, riddler, lover of knowledge and the world's most unforgiving security officer Personality: Enigmatic and somewhat cool, Phix is prone to sudden mood swings, though she allows little insight into her actual character. The fact that she speaks largely in riddles doesn't help, either, but for the most part she maintains a calm demeanour. Life Story (as much as you want us to know): Possibly the daughter of Echidna and Orthrus, The Sphinx was known to hoard knowledge of ancient secrets, which she would share with others...if they could answer her riddling. Eventually, she was sent to block the road to Thebes, where she strangled those who could not answer her most famous riddle:
"What animal is it that goes on four feet in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?"
None could answer until Oedipus, unknowing rightful king of Thebes, came along and answered correctly, "A man!" Though she threw herself from her high perch in fury, her story doesn't end there, for like all monsters, Phix regenerated in time. At the moment, she currently is for hire as a guard, or possibly a librarian.

((Thank you! I noticed the number of mythological characters, but there was a lack of sphinx, so I just had to make her.))

You have no idea how alone I used to feel. You've given me hope.

((Heh. Sorry. Some actual information might have been nice. Arrianne is a character of mine, who's pretty much omniscient. I thought it might be fun to see her duke it out with the Sphinx, at least until she goes off on a tangent and forgets where she is.))
