Unlikely as it may be, I'm hoping for the Childlike Empress or the Old Man from the Mountain, true neutral. And the twist is that the characters only existed as far as s/he wrote them, and before that they were nothing. Once their lives were on paper, they existed and everything they had done in the past began to exist as well. But after that, every choice they've made since their stories were written down has been their own free will, and so the Author can't actually help them at all, because s/he only created them as they were, not as they are.

It seems a bit incoherant, I realize. It makes far more sense if you've read the Neverending Story.
