When Orlanth went on the Lightbringer's Quest, he summoned 49000 Vingkotlings (i.e. pre-Dawn Theyalans) to help fight the Luatha. At the very least, I suspect any clan warrior would participate in this. There might also be chances to be Ginna Jar (I suspect during a heroquest, different people fill this role at different times).
"Menstruation" is of course a convenient term, though the period probably doesn't correspond to any celestial object, and it'd have a different name in Glorantha.

Isn't she Molanni?

I always thought driver's license and drinking age were the adulthood rites. Marriage is a *different* rite of passage, one you normally take only when an adult. (Baby showers are probably rites of passage; funerals definitely are.)
Congratulations to you and Stacey! (I will be participating in another wedding the same day, in a very different role.)
