Either go for a sex change of the devotee within the context of
heroquest for its duration (which really depends on how you visualise
them working), or otherwise have parallel myths of Yinkin's daughters,
etc. Daughters repeating their fathers deeds, but reversed seems a
useful general pattern (c.f. Vinga). Or do it straight, if you and your
players are comfortable with that, I suppose.
