Mother Sophodra

"Go to the others." -Mother SophodraMother Sophodra is a female shield mantis and the Mother of Mantis Swarm during the flashback in Episode 10. She seems to spend most of her time wandering searching for new nymphs. The most we learn about her is from other mantises's opinions of her. Empusa says that the Swarm is waiting for a "real Mother", implying that there's some responsibility that Mother Sophodra is not able to accomplish, or lacking in some other quality that excludes her from being a "real" Swarm Mother. He also claims that she is "too lenient" with the other mantises, not delegating important jobs to them. Bicoris also has the opinion that Mother Sophodra is too passive as a leader and implies that she doesn't have enough influence on the Swarm.
=== Trivia: ===
* Unlike what her name would cause you to believe, Mother Sophodra is not a Sphodromantis.
