I agree, Bekah & Alice.

Scheherazade is the correct comparison. Cherrycoke relies on telling
stories, and telling them good. He lives under a permanent threat like
her:

"(...) for as long as he can keep the children amus'd, he may
remain,-- too much evidence of Juvenile Rampage at the wrong moment,
however, and Boppo! 'twill be Out the Door with him, where waits the
Winter's block and blade." (M&D, 6-7)
