The adopted person is usually an orphan or unwanted child who willingly enters the ritual. The meaning of consent in this context can become complicated. Poverty, hunger, fear, and longing for family all shape what willingness means for a child with few other options. The ritual gives them a new family, a new body, and a new hunger. Whether it is rescue or recruitment depends on who is telling the story and what happens afterward.

	The ritual gives ~~the child~~ a new family, a new body, and a new hunger.

	~~This bond~~ is not ~~merely social. It~~ is ~~metaphysical~~.		The ritual leader is the anchor of the Haurizan's extended existence. While the leader lives, the Haurizan's lifespan holds. What happens to a Haurizan when their ritual leader dies is not fully settled in the wiki, but the bond's collapse is understood to be significant, possibly destabilizing, and worth treating as a major story event rather than a background detail.

	The ~~ritual~~ leader ~~becomes a central figure in~~ the Haurizan's ~~existence, shaping their~~ connection to vampire society and to Hauru's family.		The leader also shapes the Haurizan's connection to vampire society and to Hauru's family structure. A Haurizan whose leader is absent, dead, or estranged is in a precarious position socially as well as metaphysically.

They are also weakened by sunlight more severely than common vampires, making daylight a practical constraint on their movement and activity.

A newly created Haurizan may not understand what they are hungry for, or may mistake one form of hunger for another. The structure of vampire society exists partly to manage this: the pilgrimage, the family bond, the ritual obligations all give the hunger somewhere to go.

A Haurizan protagonist can begin as a victim, a child, a true believer, a runaway, a chosen heir, or a future monster. What they become depends on what the ritual gave them, what it took, and whether the family they were adopted into deserves the word.
