** The [[VowOfCelibacy "purity bond"]] Ceremony girls have to follow seems a little random at first, since the Ceremony is not a VirginSacrifice. The fact the Ceremony is really a blood transfusion, however, causes it to make more sense: the Elders want to avoid getting hit with a bloodborne STD from their victim.

The obvious explanation for this is that the Order wants her to have as much of that trait-positive blood flowing through her veins as possible for the Ceremony.
