    She comes sometimes at need,
    But never at your heed.
    To meet with her is jolly,
    To push her would be folly.

    Who is she?

    edit: for bonus points, I first came across this with a second step in the puzzle. Not a riddle, but a different kind of puzzle. Solve this:

    Cyphertext

    Lweycxkxr nq kwf mxzqp vlqu yq uxslnkyy, njocy kc yi ykj u dop mjyfff lp udvp nq pws. Kdd qkxrm cbp nqy dgcvw nq qpn kdd zcd wcvdwy dyos qpq njo rlqeyx. Vrp vgo, zz eyfluo, qfkod upihua lpwcedy dopm fyy’n ekcy yrln jexupc ebkxv cu sxjqcdcdvp.

    Though that’s not the same text I had the first time (it was in a D&D game and the text was related to that), the same technique would need to be applied to read the above text. The riddle’s solution is relevant.

    Born in Congo, raised in China, but he says he's American
    My best friend cares about people over everything
    A strange day, late teens, first time I met with him
    So knowledgeable, felt like this guy knew everything
    We'd chat through his windows before he came out with me
    Even saw him teaching all the younger kids how to read
    We both loved fruits but Apples were his thing
    Sometimes he'd doze off, I'd just tap him on the chin
    In the beginning, he taught me how to deal with snakes
    Later helped with my career and how to build a base
    He knows everyone, always seemed wise beyond his years
    I opened up to him, face-to-face, cried a lot of tears
    Where he went wrong, I'm not sure, it's hard to explain
    But along the way, our relationship started to change

    (not the hardest, but a good riddle nonetheless)
