Why everybody   is so sure that Olivia is a upir? Afaiu "hemlock grove"`s upir is based on Slavic   mythology. Then Olivia is a witch (witches in some of the slavic mythologies have small tails, but I have no idea what tail cutting will do to a witch). According to different slavic mythology there are many ways to get a upir, but 2 fits: to be born with a caul or from intercourse of witch mother   with some infernal being.

I would look in Chez mythology about undead because
 * 1) The language that Olivia`s people spoken definitely not Russian, Ukrainian,   or polish.
 * 2) I believe Russian упырь spells differently   in English, but it is almost a total match to Chez spelling    upir.
