Cinnamon is a co-dominant gene, so cinnamons can produce both cinnamons and normals, which is what yours is, a normal. She is indeed a reduced pattern but unfortunately not even low quality, reduced pattern cinnamons look like that, and even low quality cinnies are not given away (at least not by people who know what they have). She is a very pretty normal girl, but all you are going to get from that breeding is normals that have a 50% chance of carrying the pied gene. (And to be honest, if you got that het pied from your breeder friend, I'd be skeptical of his genetics too).
I have plenty of normals with flames.
