Is this a character introduced in advertising / marketing, or as a toy?

I'm running out of ideas for where this character might have originally appeared.

Any ideas, brains trust?

Let's try a different line of questioning.

Is this character human?

So it's a fictional character NOT introduced in:

A book, or
A comic/graphic novel, or
A play, or
A song, or
In folklore, or
In film or television.

(And presumably not a video game)

What other sources of fictional characters are there?
What's the definition of 'graphic'?

Maybe a non-graphic novel.

Does the character's name (first name if more than one) begin with a vowel?

Not a question - I wonder if the source is something like a magazine, short story, or serial, so not a book per se but a character that would later appear in one. Time period is too late for Sherlock Holmes but he first appeared in a magazine for example

Firat introduced in a work primarily meant to be read by its audience (for example, a short story would count, but not a play, a song, or a piece of visual art)?
