It looks like what DemiBenson wants is Duty. If you have a Duty, this gives you access to the resources you need to accomplish that Duty. Being a guard with a Duty, for instance, gives you access to the places you guard and the right to carry the equipment that guards use. In this case, having a Duty to handle court machinations and familial obligations means the character has access to the family wealth to accomplish these things.
A Patron, on the other hand, is someone who helps
you in your own endeavors. If the character has access to the family wealth or resources to accomplish her own goals, that's Patron. It doesn't sound like this is what she wants.
