clan structure

Note: Again, not V:tM canon, but what are they gonna do? Call the TTRPG cops on me?
- basic disciplines are melpominee, presence, and fortitude, though many will also learn auspex at some point.
- very few in number (only about 30 total in North America, roughly 100-200 worldwide mostly concentrated in Europe)
- this includes the Sons of Discord (literally just what more masculine members of the bloodline call themselves don't make a big deal about it; there are also Children of Dissonance)
- European Daughters do have a slightly more rigid clan structure given the higher concentration of them in that space and the higher number of Elders among them (Embraces require approval of another Daughter, they hold regular gatherings called Choruses, openly and solidly reject any alliances as a bloodline with any other clan or sect, Daughters are considered Novices, Intermediates, or Experts, and respect and train each other accordingly)
- North American Daughters are largely divorced from this power structure, though they mimic it loosely (Daughters may still seek approval from their Sisters before an Embrace but it is not an offense if they don't, Choruses are held but not mandatory and not regularly, they still largely avoid enmeshment with local politics but will form alliances as individuals with clear ties to any sect being frowned upon, there are no titles to show their experience but they do defer to their elders in any capacity)
- all members of the bloodline are incredibly selective about who they Embrace regardless, and it's seen as a sign of unrefined taste to take more than two Childer, which contributes to keeping their numbers so low
- it is entirely possible that a group of them are responsible for the Beckoning at the direction of Veddartha for reasons unknown (fuckshit, fuckshit is the reasons)
- Birdie is not the first Daughter to end up in a situation like she has going on in Denver, and the vulnerability of younger Daughters to this kind of thing is why they tend to stay in such close contact with their Sires even after starting off on their own
- a Daughter that has become a Banshee is not necessarily devoid of humanity, but of willpower
