Almys is trying to figure out what's the weirdest and quietest sort of person she can fit into a backstory, because her new liege has now given away that she has an innate mana battery that can be exhausted and needs to 'prepare spells' and Almys - should think about how to say 'THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME WITH THAT INCREDIBLY VALUABLE COMBAT INFORMATION, MY LIEGE' in a different way because the last way apparently did not take, and actually Almys is just sort of rehearsing this internal screaming for the twelfth time and not thinking of any different things to scream internally about it. Her liege is not just incredibly concerning but, also, yes adorably innocent and naive, and that is going to get her killed, and then the world will end and Almys won't get to rule any countries as a nearly immortal goddess-queen for a few centuries at all, so her backstory role needs to be somebody who's weird and quiet.
Monks are quiet. There's no realistic way her liege passes as a monk.
Research mages are weird. Research mages also talk a lot.
Who's WEIRD AND QUIET. What kind of person.
She feels like she could ask this question to somebody who was good at riddles, and they'd answer immediately, and it would sound really obvious. Almys is not in fact good at riddles. She stabs things so hard they melt. This is her primary life skill.
