demigoddess

Half-mortal divine female

A demigoddess is a female being who is part divine and part mortal—typically the daughter of a god and a human, or a mortal woman elevated to semi-divine status.

The term appears in mythology and fantasy literature: The demigoddess inherited her mother's beauty and her father's immortality.
