Now there's only three to go, and I've remember who mine is if anyone wants to guess.

The Queen from Snow White ? Patron (employer) seems to be a justifiable way of characterizing the King. Animal Handling (Birds) seems like a bad fit, though, being a characteristic of the Disney Snow White but not of any version of the queen that I can recall.

There's royalty involved, but the character itself isn't noble. In any way.

In another post, you mentioned that it’s from a Tolkienesque fantasy world; a book originally written in English and translated to other languages, but was never popular in English. I’m just guessing at this point; Lazar from the Death Gate novels?
