So you think she's just a normal...normal then? It just really shocks me at how she doesn't have the orange or red that my other normals do.

Well, that's just the beauty and mystery of genetics. It's just like people, there are some caucasians that are your typical "white" and then there are those with red hair that are so fair skinned as to look like an albino type of white. It doesn't mean they are albino nor does it mean that they aren't caucasian, it's just a genetic variation of the same type.

...it would be neat to see if the lower concentration of red could be duplicated. Assuming that she has less red than the others, which I believe she does (but that could probably be argued).

Well, that's what line breeding is all about. If you find that one particular individual that has a certain type of trait that you want to bring out in a specific line, you start to either pair that individual up with others with the same traits or you start inbreeding your F1's to the parent trying to keep that line pure and true. Sometimes you have to continue on for several generations until you've maintained the specified genes right where you want them, but that doesn't mean that once you outcross them with unlike animals that those traits are going to hold true, much like I've always said about the extreme red albinos, it's the same thing in action.
