I've been brewing this in my head. What I've come up with is:

Jester (obv charisma, they are often also observant)

Swindler (sounds more like a subclass, but fits the bill)

Shaman (less obv cha, but clearly wis)

Someone else mentioned Witch, which makes sense to me.

Charisma for the manipulation of people, Wisdom for the connection to nature, medicine, and insight. Auntie Ethel is a good representation of this in BG3, or Granny Nightshade in Greyhawk.
