divine heritage
Born of gods
Divine heritage refers to qualities, powers, or status believed to be inherited from a god or gods.
In mythology and fantasy, characters with divine heritage—demigods, for instance—possess abilities or authority that set them apart from ordinary mortals.
The term also appears in religious contexts to describe humanity's spiritual connection to the divine, as when believers speak of humans being made in God's image.
Her divine heritage gave her powers no mortal could match.
