A vampire-Human hybrid is the result in the successful mating between a human and a vampire, sharing many traits of both. A hybrid can only be conceived by a female human being and a male vampire. Female vampires cannot reproduce; this is because a female's body has to change to bear children, and since vampires are frozen at the state of transformation, pregnancy is by far impossible.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Human-vampire hybrids share some physical traits with both humans and vampires. They are described as incredibly beautiful throughout their development from infant to adult. Like vampires, they have well-developed physiques and smooth, flawless skin. In sunlight, vampire-human hybrids do not glitter as vampires do, but do appear slightly luminous which allow them to more easily blend with human beings, even during bright days.
Due to their beauty and super-human strength and speed, from a distance they may be mistaken as Immortal Children.
BIOLOGY
Human-vampire hybrids share some biology between humans and vampires. They possess supernatural strength, speed, and dexterity close to that of vampires though falling slightly. Their skin seems to be as impenetrable as the skin of other vampires, though it is clear that only male Human-vampire hybrids they have the same ability to 'repair' themselves after an injury because of the venom that only a male Human-vampire hybrid possesses unlike the female that lack it. They may posses supernatural healing as with full vampires though less strong. Their heightened senses seem to be as perceptive as normal vampires. They appear to have perfect memory recall, like vampires, and mentally develop at a rate far faster than both their true age and the age they appear, speaking in complete sentences and walking just days after birth. They also can possess supernatural gifts, possibly influenced by the gifts of their parents. So far no known hybrid females have venom, while the male hybrid, does; it is unclear if this is due to gender or random chance.
There is however a recurring idea about hybrid vampires and the venom they produce. Hybrids can only be conceived through a male vampire and a female human, the chromosomal difference between the two species causing erratic gender possibilities. Female hybrids most likely have received prominent traits from their human mother, hence their lack of venom. Male hybrids have received most traits from their vampire father which would make them venomous.
Unlike vampires, human-vampire hybrids have a functioning heart with blood flowing through their veins and sleep as humans do. They are capable of eating and gaining nourishment from both human food and blood, though it appears blood, particularly human blood, is their preferred diet. Their body temperature is unusually warm, even compared to humans, just a few degrees below the norm for shape-shifters.
Also unlike vampires, human-vampire hybrids age during their first few years, developing from infant to full maturity approximately seven years after their birth, at which time they physically appear about seventeen years old. Once they reach full maturity, they stop aging completely and become immortal.
It is currently unknown whether hybrids can reproduce. The ability seems likely, since the primary limitation for female vampire pregnancy is the fact they do not change, which is not the case for early human-vampire hybrid development. Even at full maturity when hybrids do not appear to change, hybrids are able to digest and use normal food to sustain their bodies, which may indicate their body is still capable of metabolism and change but simply doesn't age. Like male vampires, male hybrids have sperm - an indication that reproduction is possible.
They have 24 chromosome pairs, the same as shape-shifters, which leads to speculation as to whether the two species can reproduce within each other.
The hybrids are a blind point in Alice's vision, another similarity with the shape-shifters.
