And sadly both were treated utterly poorly by their families for their mixed heritage, as offspring of such unions are lore-wise usually treated as pariahs and shunned by society. ; ;

There was also a story about a former Ruby Princess of Shui of the Violet Tides who was half raen aura/half midlander hyur and she apparently resembled a normal au ra, but completely lacked scales, apparently.

As for other mixed race offspring, they are unknown, the only ones shown are hyur mixed with another race.
Based on what I remember at least, something I like about FFXIV is that racism isn't the same as in '' current day '' irl where it's just purely based on skin color.
I can't remember Hyur with different skin color for example being racist towards each other BECAUSE of that alone ( usually it's due to nationality and culture, which are not inherently tied to skin color ).

The whole oversimplification of racism just being about the color of your skin is a very modern rewrite of it historically based mostly on the history of the US and I kinda find it a bit boring in narratives too.
Europe as well as the rest of the world fought wars/ world wars ( still being fought in many countries ) not just based on religious differences but also because people didn't view themselves as the same just because of skin color it has never been that simple.
Even in the US Scandinavians for example weren't even considered '' white '' in the beginning, the whole concept of color and race in that regard is VERY recent.
FFXIV has a more historical attitude towards it in the writing where it isn't so oversimplified.

Mixed races are a more interesting take on that because of how much more drastic the differences are.
With fictional races they're separated on a much more fundamental level.
