Appearance likely wouldn't vary too much - if their genetic stock is compatible, there can't be that much room for change.
Shrinking would be a likely ability, though maybe at a weaker scale than the average faeries
naturally (For instance, their innate shrink ability being limited to eight feet instead of twelve, but still capable of reaching 12' shrink possibilities with learned spells).
Size changing, likewise, would probably be limited naturally.
When it comes to treatment, I see them likely being treated poorly by humans and faeries. First because they'd still likely have a voracious nature that people would not be fond of, and the second because of their stunted abilities making them less fun to play with than full-bloods.
The Crystal in Negav.... feth it. It changes so much in stories I'm not sure how to answer this. Some people have it so that the only thing it limits is the
size of a Predator entering (Meaning that if a Faerie shrunk, walked in, then grew again, it'd be fine!). Others have it so that almost anything not human or neko is blocked completely. I'd say it would depend on the author.
A three-way hybrid would likely be impossible unless we are to assume a lack of sterility. In that case, probably stunted powers for the Faerie and Elemental parts, and appearing less humanoid. You could probably see it as so (power-scaled) when it comes to innate skills:
+ Elemental
+ Faerie
+ Elemental Faerie hybrid
+ Elemental Faerie Human hybrid
+ Faerie Human hybrid
+ Human
While there would be a bit more power to the 3-way than Faerie-Human or Human base, the three-way would be worse off in the long run due to having to specialize in three separate fields. Sure, if given enough time it could probably surpass all the above... but that would be a lot of time necessary to master itself in all three sub-species fields.
