Character Name: Nero Martin (aka Nero tol Scaeva)
Obstacle artwork: A door with a sliding puzzle that must be solved properly to unlock.
Meaning: Something simple can be genuinely complex.
How it works: The obstacle is a doorway with an overall art deco linework design all over it, with panels in the middle that are meant to be slid around, and a riddle engraved above it. The panels are designed so that they can be slid into several different configurations that form three different stylized images. Only one is correct. The riddle is as follows:

'I have no fearsome claw or bite
Yet all flee from my black and white
To provoke me makes bad sense
To them that knows my best defense'

And the three different possible arrangements are a panda bear, a gull, and a skunk. Sliding the pieces together to form one of the three, there will be an audible click and the image of the animal will glow slightly. Attempting to push the door open if it's the wrong animal (panda bear, gull) will result in a horrible odor being released, and the door will remain shut. Assembling the skunk will open the way safely.

Difficulty Level: It's a fairly easy riddle. (It's really more about Nero showing off the elegance of his work.)
