Before Severa existed, both Arenvald and Cid said that half-Garleans don't have third eyes. Ramza and Alma also don't have third eyes. At this point I think it's probably an evolution of the lore over time and we might see more half-Garleans in Endwalker that have black third eyes. Arenvald and Cid's explanation might either be retconned or forgotten.

This is fanon that often gets repeated here and on RP forums, but there's no actual source for it in interviews or in the game. Neither does it make any sort of sense genetically. The reason why Hilda looks the way she does is because it's easier to plop a unique head on a midlander body than it is to create a whole new hybrid body. The reason why the fanon that hybrids look like their mom is because RPers want to RP as people who are half-X, despite there not being and half-anything character options.
