innate quality
Born with it
An innate quality is a characteristic or trait that someone or something possesses from birth or by nature, rather than one that is learned, acquired, or developed through experience.
The phrase emphasizes that the quality is intrinsic and fundamental: Her innate quality of compassion made her a natural caregiver.
Innate qualities are often contrasted with skills or attributes that come through training or practice.
