In the program, a class named 'FairyTaleCharacter' and several other classes inheriting from it have been defined.

Write a method:
public static FairyTaleCharacter oldestCharacter(ArrayList<FairyTaleCharacter> characters)
which takes a 'list of descendants' of the fairy tale character as a 'parameter'.
The method finds and returns the oldest character in the list.

Note that the classes do not currently implement the Comparable interface, so the oldest character must be found in some other way.
