well, I think that the kid would age somewhat slower than most children, like human food more than blood, but can survive on both, have skin that is tougher than humans, but not be able to live forever. I also think that he/she would be able to shift, but only when his/her emotions are very high, e.g. very angry, very scared and such. I also think that he/she would heal fast, and not bruise very easily. He/She would hit a massive growth spurt around 16 or 17, like Jake, and have a no venmous bite. He or she would be more human than anything with slight vampire/shapeshifter traits... other than that I think thats about it.
