"Not our finest hour. I'm not sure there's really much one can do to improve a bird, save cook it. But Her Majesty asked that we preserve her stocks. Or rather, her servant asked us to. But what is a servant in a monarchy but an instrument of their sovereign's will? Anyway, the grouse: they're fine, yes?"[1]

The Marigold Menagerie Keeper is a deviless who manages the woods of Balmoral under an agreement between Hell and the Empress.[2] Wild animals roam the woods per the Empress' demands, but were heavily modified to suit their new environment.[3][4] The Keeper cares deeply about the animals despite their monstrous appearances,[5] but she cannot enter the woods to check up on them.[6][7]

The Menagerie Keeper grew up and became a diplomat after the Grand Devils were overthrown. She proposed easing their tortures, but Hell exiled her to Marigold Station for her ignorance. She may only return if she can prove the Grand Devils are suffering worse than before. The Keeper later found work at Balmoral,[8] but her Marigold oath remains incomplete.[9]
