Here she is in a pic with a Cream. Is Cream the same as Fawn?
Eh, it depends on the breed. Some breeds have both colors, others have a fawn that is the same description as a cream in another breed. It's a very weird color, description wise.

I think she's a dilute tort, not a dilute agouti non-extension (orange, fawn, cream). Her 'blue' coloring is centralized to the face and skirting as expected on tort, rather than evenly scattered tipping as on a smutty orange.

Does she have chocolate/lilac on both sides of the pedigree? She may be a lilac tort. She has the paler coloring of my lilac tort French angora.

Vern as a junior.

The other possibility --- her chin mom makes it highly likely that she is a chin carrier. Finding with my daughters Jersey woolies that we can almost predict the chin carriers in her otters and opals because the orange markings (midband on the agoutis, tan makings on the otters) is a bit too light - especially as juniors.

Frost - opal chin carrier -- unfortunately don't have a good photo of his rings blown open.

Haven't noticed it on the opals, but when we had one that we finally concluded was a self chin, throughout it's junior stages it when through several rounds as a junior of looking like it had rings. Heard from several folks when we were trying to figure that one out that self chins can have rings as juniors. Not saying yours is a self chin (that would strip out all the orange - the rings on ours were blue and white) but a tort that carries chin might have some of the same effect.

Terrence (self chin) showing junior rings. He ended up looking almost like a blue -- one odd agouti patch across his nose and sepia tinted eyes (rather than blue).
