In the first chapter, Gilda transformed from a human being to a vampire. She is being introduced to a new lifestyle that has keened in on her ability to survive as a vampire. Gilda does not portray traditional vampire qualities, in that she does not kill her victims. Instead she gets in her victims' minds and tries to pursuade them to live a lifestyle that she seems to find more suitable in her opinion.
We perceive vampires as murderers and evil creatures - but when Gilda was faced with this challenge, she did not condone it. She would not kill the victim that Eleanor commanded her to to kill. Gilda seems to still be learning the ways of her newfangled life as a vampire. Gilda has learned enough to know righteous compassion for human life.
As the story progresses, it will be interesting to see if Gilda retains her empathy and composure, with the pressure she will be exposed to from her peers.
