Who am I?

[hobbit_of_narnia]

Yep! Your turn.

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

Once alone, but never again,
for that day, I made a friend.
We talked and shared and played
and had an adventure along the way.
Later, farther down the road of life,
still close (though not husband and wife).
Years later, others in our secret shared
and, as if family, for them I cared.
Who am I?

Are you Digory Kirke?

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

No, but since my riddle didn't lean as closely to Polly as I thought it did, I'll give it to you.

[lilliandil]

Ooh yay!!!!

Humble, gentle, quiet and kind
Friends as loyal as I are hard to find
Although wayward paths I am not above
I know that by him I am dearly loved.
Who am I?

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

Who to guess, who to guess... I'm not sold on either of the characters I want to guess.

Trumpkin?

[lilliandil]

Nope. Try again

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

Okay, I'll venture Puddleglum?

[lilliandil]

No. Here see if this helps you:

Naive and trusting, not a thinker;
It can sometimes get me into trouble.
If only he hadn't been such a stinker,
I'd not have to have played double.
Who am I?

[hobbit_of_narnia]

....Puzzle maybe?
