Oh my!! That is an amazing morph! It looks as if someone rubbed off most of the pattern and color :P Beautiful.

That about answers my question then! ... Partially :)
What I was referring to on NERD's site is the description of this animal:
In it, they say that she should be bred to a fader male to bring out her full potential ... But if the gene is simple dominant (not incomplete dom, recessive or "cumulative"), if she does carry the fader gene, breeding her to a lesser or any other morph that "uncovers" the fader should be sufficient. If she doesn't carry it, then breeding her to a fader male will be no different than breeding any other pastel to a fader male.
Looking through the World of BPs morph list that contain "fader," I feel like I can strongly see the influence of the gene in some of them, and others I just don't see it ... Maybe I just don't have the "eye."
As I said in my first post, your female is the most striking example of "fader" gene influence I've ever seen!

Kevin may suspect to be co-dom/incomplete dom, I don't think enough breeding have been done to really figure it out, to me it doesn't even look like its been isolated from the pastel gene (I may be wrong) so who knows. I have also seen some "nothing specical" faders and then there is stuff like the OP's animal. Possible super fader? Should ask kevin some questions about what he has figured out. at the rate hes producing them it doesn't appear to be recessive.
