Devanu Matriarch

The sempa within a devanu pack fulfil many roles. Most act as warriors and hunters leaving the young jenta to look after themselves and carve their own futures. However, some choose to fight more closely with the young members of the pack. These matriarchs gather groups of jenta around them, spurring them on and rapidly training them to become efficient hunters. The matriarch is often not directly related to the jenta and once they grow old enough to threaten her position they are driven from the tribe and forced to fend for themselves.

Some devanu sempa will join hunts accompanied by young jenta hatchlings. These ″matriarchs″ urge the hatchlings into combat, heedless of the danger to them.
