half-angel
Partially divine being
A half-angel is a being of mixed celestial and mortal parentage—one parent divine, the other human.
The concept appears across mythology and fantasy fiction, where such offspring typically possess supernatural abilities while remaining partly bound to the mortal world.
The half-angel struggled between her heavenly calling and earthly attachments.
Compare nephilim in biblical tradition.
