Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Exactly! I thought it would have been too much of a giveaway if I'd only included the last part of the clue. I'd already indicated that the answer was a villain, and I can't think offhand of any palindromes besides Mim in Tolkien's universe (plus the hat indicates the circumflex, as you rightly said).

Minim is a palindrome too, of course.

Well done Mithalwen - over to you!
