And no, the clue makes no sense.

Are you the Mayor's daughter? She's very minor - her only role is to die and set the plot in motion - and she has something in common with Rumpelstiltskin (they're both female). Weak, I know, but it satisfies both criteria! (Huzzah!)

No, not the daughter. And Rumpelstiltskin isn't female.

Yes... barely.

Are you the Mayor?

No

Sigh ... then there's only one ROTD other character I know of.

Are you Chang Li?

No

You are going to have to dig a little deeper, but I do have a name.

All right, I looked this up at the Sierra Chest and here at the SHP ... hmm.

As for Rumplestiltskin ... sigh. I always get him confused with Rapunzel. Silly names.

Are you Slen (at the pleasure dome) who Blade gives a chocolate bar to? Chocolate bars are as rare as gold in the ROTD game-world.

Yeah - once it got into obscure characters, I wasn't sure - because not even websites had a lot of information of character names.
And I think I played this - MAYBE!?! - when it first came out and certainly recall very little of it - so I am sure I never got far.

The Sierra Chest and the SHP walkthrough have character names, but I had to go through them with a fine-toothed comb to get the names. (I also looked up screenshots of this game to refresh my memory).

Like Tawm, I played this when it first came out. Unfortunately, I was a teenager at the time, which means ... short attention span + had no idea what I was doing = quickly got arrested = lost interest.

(What? Most teenagers are like that. It didn't help that my English wasn't the best, seeing as it wasn't my first language. It also didn't help that the film-noir angle went right over my head. Again, teenager)

No, not Slen.

The character is obscure but I have found her/him mentioned in some guides and walkthroughs. Need another hint? Otherwise narrowing it down by location might help.

The location won't much help; I can't really remember much beyond Blade's apartment, Blade's girlfriend's office, and the pleasure dome.

Are you Martha (at the pleasure dome)?

No, not Martha.

Hint:
I am at the Pleasure Dome.

All right. There are four more characters I haven't tried (and two unnamed ones).

Are you Casey Jones?

(He is a druggie at the Pleasure Dome. He hasn't much in common with Rumplestiltskin, but they are both male, and -- possibly -- they are both taking mind-altering substances. It's certainly well-known that Rumple is mad! Mad, d'you hear me?! MAAAAAD!)

No

Hint:
I'm kind of an Easter Egg.

Are you Slen? Who makes a reference to Arreis which is Sierra backwards?

I doubt it. I already guessed Slen, and NBS said no.

Are you Mujalambo, the bartender at the Pleasure Dome?
