Literary Botticelli

So, some folks (coyotegestalt, redhilltown and kinetikatrue) have done rounds of literary boticelli, and I won the last one, so I'm hosting this round. I love word games, what can I say. In-depth directions for the game can be found here on kinetikatrue's page. It's layed out all pretty nicely, so I suggest you go read and come back. But basically, the question you ask must be specific enough that I can answer confidently with a particular author or character (as in, "no, I'm not Elizabeth Bennett"). If I don't get the reference, you get to ask a more general question that can be answered with a yes or no, such as the person's sex, age, nationality, etc.

So, my name begins with S.

ETA: I am a male, fictional character created after 1900 by someone British. I am not North American. My exploits take place in something closely resembling the real world. I am not any kind of Smith, Eustace Scrubbs, Jonathan Strange or Mr. Smee.

ETA2: One at a time please folks. Form an orderly queue.
