Description

I think I've talked a bunch about how vampires came about in my ideas, how they tie in the changeling legend. But I haven't really explored the other side of the changeling legend; the fairy infants that took the place of the stolen human babies.

Usually, the baby fairies never survived and died young.
But with the combination of modern medicine and a set of parents who cared enough about their child to try to help them survive no matter what, a small number of changelings in the modern world might at least reach adulthood. This character is one of those.

Fairies specially bred genetically modified fairy infants to swap with human children, knowing they'd need the babies to at least look human to fool human parents. Mostly, these infants would be created after a human child had been selected for abduction. So changeling fairies have no wings, smaller ears, and whatever colouring that matched that of the chosen human child.
However they'd retain a sensitivity to sunlight, nocturnal nature, bright blue eyes, sensitivities to certain foods/metals, and a certain talent for magic. They also have an affinity for creatures like spiders, cats, crows and bats; animals that exist within the fairy realm and coexist happily with fairies.

This changeling was swapped for a human child who interested the fairies - the child was an African-American albino, hence this changeling's appearance. The girl has no idea of her changeling nature, and just thinks she's a particularly unfortunate human girl with a weak immune system and a million allergies. 
One day she starts being stalked by her human counterpart; now a vampire due to being raised by fairies. At this point she comes under fairy protection; the fairies growing worried about the vampire's potential threat; and learns of her true nature, all the while growing more and more curious about the vampire whose identity she inadvertently took on.

I think I'm gonna call her Opal.
