I am looking at this for potential NPC usage but I am making a changeling PC based on having a Banshee mother.

@osteomancer its author fiat in the sense that as this is the world Butcher created, he gets to say how the world works. Red Court vampires are literal monsters with human faces and white court vampires are humans with monstrous symbiotes. You might as well say that the only reason Mab is the queen of winter and not summer is author fiat, because its on the same level of establishing basic facts about the world.
Though you really shouldn't use Thomas as an example for any of this, or really any of the White Court as they are character options (white court and white court virgins). Part of it am sure is that they are born into it and live with the hunger from the time it first gets them. Part of it also is that they don't have to kill when feeding and they generally have much more control over their hunger than any of the other types that we have seen so far (unless they are far pushed beyond their limits like what Thomas did to Justine when almost killed her or the first feeding).
