Welcome.

This is a thread for discussing the Girl Genius novelization Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess, as well as all Girl Genius in general. The subject matter is the property of Phil and Kaja Foglio.

No spoilers are required in this thread. The assumption is you've read the material already. That is why this thread exists--to provide a place for people to talk without having to try to avoid giving away secrets.

I own this account. If you're rude or a jackass, I will delete your post. If you're debating in good faith and not annoying the natives, I won't. If people really can't behave, I'll delete the whole fershlugginer thread.

Have fun. Talk at will. If you don't want spoilers, run away now.

Hippogrif.

Possibly; a lot would depend on how long Skifander had been underground and if there was any gene flow between them and darker skinned people.

In a completely dark situation, you can develop albinism without the selection pressure against them from sun damage; however if you start with a dark population, it will take many generations for albinism to take over the population if it does at all. If there's still people from the surface joining the community it will take even longer, as they are unlikely to be albinos and will spread the darker genes.
