Just curious... what does "declines as she/her" mean in your pronoun field? I've just never seen that phrase before (in relation to pronouns).

A noun or pronoun declines as it changes with respect to the part of speech it is used as. Eg, she, she's (she is), her, hers; and more immmediately, fae, fae's (fae is), faer, faers. Those are all declinations of she and fae respectively. Because there is such a simple map from the set of she declinations to fae declinations, they are said to decline in the same way.
I am sorry if this is foreign to you, it is a much more common concept in latin grammar, which I took for 4 years in high school.

Fun fact: according to Google, the usage of "declination" has declined:
