Answer: Aslan

"They say Aslan is on the move. Perhaps he has already landed," whispered the Beaver. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt brave and adventurous.

So, deep in the bewitched land of Narnia, the adventure begins. -- C.S. Lewis

One of the most amazing books I've ever read! Search funtrivia.com for "Outlander" for more in-depth quizzes on this book.

Answer: Puck

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding than a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends." -- William Shakespeare

Answer: Red

Actually, my favourite colour is aquamarine. I just REALLY liked the book when I was little! ;)
