In some mythologies, there are different ways to become a "vampire"..."vampire" is just something you call a mythological critter that seems similar enough to other things you already call "vampire"...unless you live in the Whetonverse with Buffy Summers, or something and are a member of a secret organization that has a very specific type of critter that they have studied in mind:if you have something you can point at and say "this is an actual 'vampire,' anything else might be like a vampire, but isn't an actual vampire,  then there can be hard and fast rules. In some Western stories, a corpse of a person who was particular envious in life, or was a witch or a werewolf...or just had the funeral done wrong, or had an animal do something to the body...would rise as a vampire; in many Eastern stories, some people are just born that way. Sophia, as a "True Ancestor," by the "in System"(like "in Game") lore, as it is supposed to work, is one of these progenitors of a lineage of vampires, not the scion of one...the founder, an original, if you will, who simply starts out as a vampire without any other vamp needing to infect her. Which certainly describes the case of the Super-User Head administrator simply assigning her the "vampire" skill, which causes Sophie to be awarded the "True Ancestor" title (unlike people who become a vampire by infection...such as any vampire spawn Sophia makes...). -E.E.E.
