I'm sure that my two cents here will just be things people have already said (I didn't read through the whole thread), but... I think they could definitely have a child. They're both humanoid beings. I don't think anything "downstairs" or in their organs would be so different that it would prevent pregnancy. This was my opinion BEFORE we got official confirmation of half-breeds in lore (which actually happened before Hilda was ever seen).
However, I don't think said child would have both Miqo'te and Au Ra features. I can't say for sure, as I don't have evidence/confirmation from the lore team, obviously. But I would like to think that what makes sense is that the child would have an appearance that's either distinctly Miqo'te or distinctly Au Ra.
But, for me? All of the "could it happen" talk is actually besides the point. Instead, my main concern is what it ALWAYS is whenever anyone does any out-of-the-box concept like this in RP or RP backstories...
Why do this? What purpose does it serve? What's the justification? Why do these two characters HAVE to be having a mixed child? Can't they just... not?
