Tikessa, the Caring Mother, Progeny of the Hearth and the home
The Tikessa spring full-formed into being from the actions of their father, gasping their first breath in the hollowed out flesh of a victim of his greatest charm. They know from birth what they must do, and they take care of the bronze soul egg that is born with them, theTheHoverpope/Tikessa/Diette, until it hatches. The Tikessa stokes the flames that warm the egg, and when the fire melts the case around the newborn soul they breastfeed them on honeyed bile. They are responsible for teaching the child, and yet know little; therefore, their duty is to punish brutally errors on the part of their charges. They look as women on all fours but strangely inverted; their limbs reach the ground, but their chest points upwards, their head strangely twisted so that a cruel smile plays across the forehead that rests above their eyes. They move in awkward jerks, like drunk spiders.
The Tikessa are overwhelmingly protective of their charges, to the point of physically preventing them from leaving their care. As a result, almost every Tikessa dies when their long-loved infant kills them and escapes; they consider this the natural end of motherhood, and smile gladly as the newly free Diette crawls over their rapidly fading sight. In some rare cases, they are more powerful than the Diette of a non-physical person; they then hold their child captive forever.

Mother's Eye
The Tikessa know mistakes. If anyone in their presence feels they have made a mistake, this charm activates automatically. This is a 1 mote effect that does not count as a charm use; rather, it is an innate ability.
Unerring Punishment:
The Tikessa may make a perfect attack against a Diette. That attack costs 3m, and does 1 level of automatic lethal damage only. This is a simple action.
