*The smallest familial unit is known as a coterie, which typically consists of 15-25 members which forms the Mikaean equivalent of a family
**A coterie is presided over by a guardian, who is usually the eldest member of the group, who commands the respect and obedience of her coterie
**Keepers are generally the eldest members of a coterie after the guardian, who assist the guardian in managing affairs and looking after the wards
