She gives them up while she is in "vengeance mode", they are part of her "fertility". When she resumes her life after taking care of business, she drops the Vingan affinities and resumes her Ernalda ones. She gets the Red Woman affinities at 12, but does not need to pay HP for them. Note that she still worships Ernalda rather than Orlanth as a Red Woman, this means that she can't join other Orlanth subcults, as a "real" Vingan can.
