Non-related members!
While the Vaia Family is all related, they aren't the only family from the region they're from. Anyone can join the herd, and you can plot in as original members of the original herd. Plot-wise the Vaia family herd scattered after an attack by the Nightstalker herd and is being round back up to re-form their herd so we can plot in anyone!
They don't need to have wolf traits
They don't need to be elaphotaurs
They don't have to follow the name convention, as that derives from Vaia
Herd Beliefs
They worship the spirits of the Wolf and Deer, which is why many end up with wolf-like traits or unique deer antlers

Herd Rules
Babies born are assessed at birth for what path they should be on and assigned accordingly. Children are assigned one of the six paths but learn about all of them as they grow up. When they reach adulthood there is a ceremony in which they choose their Path going forward, and while most tend to stay with one of the paths of their parents or the path assigned at birth, some choose an altogether different one.
