1- No mass embrace took place. Sharon alone embraced Laurie. This is FACT.on paper. however there are few things in the source material that corroborate my thoery..
1)Sabath's mass embrace is a thing: and while Sharon and co. behave more like Camarilla, an involuntary one wouldn't be breaking the rules, if it was performed accidentally.
2) diablerie, as a way to lower your generation : in my understanding the procedure requires that the diablerist asimilates his/her victims's blood and this blood forms a symbiotic bond with the new host replacing his/her vitae. I'm certain Laurie didn't drink MC's heart blood but she was full of his blood when the fight happened (unless she was given to Calisto). Which means she had lower generation vitae in her, when Sharon gave her hers.. and there's a 3-6 generations gap between MC and Sharon.
3) the embrace itself :... in the source material it's stated that the embrace is performed not by the vampire that does it, but by the one proviing the childe with vitae. So while Sharon will be Laurie's sire for all intent and purpose, and all that legal mumbo jumbo, I hope Laurie would be having MC's bloodline.
4) Post embrace frenzy : a freshly turned fledgling awakens with one blood point, and goes into frenzy at the first sight of blood. And likesblondes kept that part. It's shown when MC awakens and Sharon gives him some blood. But here we have Laurie, a fresh fledgling with wounds on her body, staying "calm" despite Sharon bleeding and Andrew being there all agitated, I doubt Sharon could give her double the doese, so it must be MC's...
2- Sadly for Laurie, the MC followed Sharon's doctrine regarding starving her thrall. Laurie was anything BUT full of the MC's vitae. She was running on fumes, constantly. When the MC fed a small amount to Ivy, Laurie was licking her chops. This is FACT.
3- Source material in this case is non applicable. Laurie has been a thrall for such a short amount of time, that she has not even mastered one of the major disciplines of her Regnant's bloodline. She has barely had any of his vitae at all in her system, thanks to Sharon, as the MC is following her guidance on starving thralls. This is FACT.
4- There is no frenzy. Laurie woke a lot sooner than the MC did because the blood is weaker. She is weaker. She is Sharon's childe. No amount of protesting, or proclaiming is going to change this. You were even given a post embrace clue by looking at Laurie's eyes, to see Sharon's "Eye Thing" flash there. This is FACT.
Not sure how to say this nicely beyond this.
There WILL be a childe of the MC and that will be Carmen. This is 99% Fact.
Laurie IS Sharon's childe. She is of her bloodline and will have her blood traits. This is FACT.
