Ongoing noms questions - Inheritance Cycle & Original Work

[modzilla]

The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
Eragon Shadeslayer/Other(s)
What does this mean, please? Are the Others a distinct group in canon? Or did you have something else in mind?

Original Work
Repressed Butler (OW)/Repressed Housekeeper (OW)
Could I check please what genders are intended? If you want nonspecified genders, that's fine and I'll approve it that way by default, but if you want M/F or something else, please confirm and I'll approve it with those genders explicitly baked in.

Stern King's Advisor/Curious Royal Herborist (M/F) (OW)
I'm not familiar with "herborist" as a term and I can't find it in dictionaries - I know "herbalist" and "arborist". If you mean someone who keeps a herb garden for the monarch and is also good at mixing up herbal medicines, maybe we can spell it out a bit more?

Hi! Nominator here :
- Repressed Butler (OW)/Repressed Housekeeper (OW) was intended without gender specification, I'm fine with it as it is
- And sorry, it's indeed "herbalist", I had a bit of cross-linguistic mishap

Thank you so much for your work!

Thanks! Approved.

Not the nominator, but "herborist" and "herbalist" are synonyms:

Thanks, I'm glad to learn this!
