I absolutely ADORE the female's look. If anyone is going to complain about her, gather around and let me tell you a tale :

1. Remember, Toothless is the FIRST Night Fury ever seen.Everyone thought that he was the last of his kind (Hiccup says this in Book of Dragons & Valka says so as well). The stats in the lore are based on Toothless alone because no other specimens were around to compare him with.

2. The female could be a sub-species of Night Fury that evolved over time to live underground, thus losing their dark scales in preference of scales that reflected lights coming from the crystals and other things in the caves.

3. Her kind must have had no conflict  with the outside world,hence her having no spines on her back like Toothless and having shorter claws.

(This is based on my opinion. If you don't like it,then don't read it)
