Spock's protege, Lieutenant Saavik, was scripted as a Romulan/Vulcan hybrid, although the scene mentioning her heritage was dropped from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan before the movie's premiere and has persisted only in novelizations, original licensed novels and comics, and fanfic.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Commander Sela is the blonde Romulan/human hybrid daughter of a time-displaced Tasha Yar. Sela becomes a recurring antagonist in both the TV series and numerous spin-off novels and fanfics.
