How important are sire bonds? I mean, if one of the romanian decided to turn a human and that human turned out to be one of the Volturi's potential mate, would they hate the newborn automatically or would it depend of whether they were loyal to the romanians?
The example here is a little dramatic but I wonder if being sired by a particular person is something that is seen as relevant no matter who you are as a person, if it makes sense?
Also, I can't find whether or not you have already talked about that but can Sire influence the newborn? I know there are vampire stories where the sire can kinda hypnotise or influence a newborn's actions. Does something similar exists in your worldbuilding?
Thank you for your answers, I'm curious 🧐

First of all I will answer your last question darling; a Sire does not have the ability to fully control a Newborn. They have free will, but when you awaken to an undead life and only one person seems to care for your wellbeing? That is a potent enough influence in itself. But there is no direct control or hypnotising involved in my personal writing and lore. Now, on to the matter of The Volturi and The Romanians. The truth of dear Anonymous is that it all depends on the scenario presented.
"Vladimir turns a human, abandons them and simply allows them to strife about the world to do as they please."
and
"Vladimir turns a human, raises them within his own coven and develops a strong sire-bond with them over several years. They take on the Romanian doctrine and Vladimir finally and allows them to strife about the world at some point."
Are two very different scenarios for anyone of The Volturi to deal with. Sire bonds will only have a great effect on a Newborn if the sire in fact spent the appropriate time to introduce them into the world of vampires. Vampiric society will regard a vampire and their sire depending on how much of a bond there is. Another example if I may;
"Aro was turned by a vampire named Djehuty, who in fact served Amun very well—Aro killed his sire not long after being turned however, so there are few who connect Aro to Amun."
and
"Demetri was turned by Amun, was raised by him as a newborn and the tracker sees him as somewhat of a father figure despite everything."
Both are connected to Amun, but only Demetri is truly seen as someone who once belonged to Amun's house per say.
