The vampire mythos has different ways of creating vampires.
One way is the regular embrace, where the vampire feeds their own blood to their target after sucking out a substantial amount of their blood. This works best for vampires existing in the world proper as they can control their own population.
Another way is simply by biting the victim and transmitting vampirism as a disease. I dislike this way of creating vampires because it's simply the least convenient and controllable way of handling vampires as a whole. This would mean they would usually have to kill most of their victims to keep themselves hidden.
Yet another way of transmitting vampirism is through the vampire giving birth to a child. This is also how dhampirs have come into existence (half-vampires in other words).
I think the other girl in the picture is a ghoul, that is to say, a vampire's thrall. They serve as the vampire's servant and are usually devoted considerably to the vampire, taking care of their needs and other tasks.
Not too bad a process either... but could be a little clearer.
