| Born of Heaven and Hell | comment |
Born of Heaven and Hell is a being whose parents are from Heaven and Hell or its equivalent. Largely being part angel or God/Deity, and demon/Devil. They may be referred to as a Nephilim. This may be justified when Fallen Angels or Ascended Demons are involved. More often than not they will be portrayed as an Anti-Hero thanks to the contradiction of their very being; while they may want to do good (Heaven), their actions would be seen as violent or destructive (Hell). May face the brunt of the Half-Breed Discrimination from both species. If they are lucky they may be left alone. However, they may be targeted for death for either being born or fear their hybrid nature would make them more powerful. If not, they may actually be accepted by one of the groups. Though, they will feel uneasiness about their hybrid nature. A Fusion Dance or a case of one gaining attributes of the other can accomplish the same effect. Most likely the end result of a literal Angel/Devil Shipping. Also see Divine Parentage and Semi-Divine. Compare Human-Demon Hybrid. Sub-Trope of Child of Two Worlds; might even overlap with Oxymoronic Being. If they have supernatural abilities, they might manifest as a Yin-Yang Bomb. |

Hellboy is an artificially created example. He was originally born from the union of a human witch and a male demon, but somehow got his right hand replaced with a massive stone hand—which came from a Hyperborean statue infused with the creative magic of the Archons. | |

Ah! My Goddess: Urd is half-god, half-demon. In fact, her parents are the series' versions of God and Satan. Her hybrid nature also caused her Angel's, World of Elegance, hair and wings to be part white and black. She is also self-conscious on her hybrid nature. | |

Sicily from Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness is a demon-angel despite the fact that her brother Laharl is a Demon-Human. This is due to their human mother, who was pregnant with Sicily at the time of her Heroic Sacrifice, refusing the chance to become an angel and gave it to Sicily instead. | |

The Mortal Instruments: Faeries are believed to be descended from the offspring of angels and demons, and as one character puts it, they have the cruelty of demons and the beauty of angels. Tessa Gray, the protagonist of the prequel series The Infernal Devices, is a Warlock (part Shadowhunter and a Eidolon Demon). Jonathan Morgenstern is a shadowhunter, who is also largely demonic through Valentine's experiments. Lilith even claimed that she sees him as her own child, for she has given her blood to Valentin to make Jonathan the one he has become. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Concordant killers are powerful outsiders that are part-celestial and part-fiend, rumored to have been created by gods of Neutrality to preserve the Balance Between Good and Evil. These True Neutral beings wield Concordant Greatswords that are simultaneously holy, unholy, axiomatic and anarchic, know powerful magic like blasphemy, dictum, holy word and word of chaos, and can shift their magical defenses to protect them against foes of a certain alignment. They work as hitmen for demon princes and deities alike, accepting favors instead of treasure, and collectively track their kills to make sure their operations don't favor one alignment over another. Infernals, described in the Epic Level Handbook, are the offspring of gods and fiends. They take after their non-divine parents. A nonliving example would be the physical copies of the Pact Primeval, stored in Mount Celestia, Mechanus, and the lowest reaches of the Nine Hells of Baator. These powerful magical artifacts document the ancient accord between Asmodeus' devils and the deities of law that gave the baatezu permission to punish mortal souls in Hell, and thus register strongly as lawful, good and evil artifacts. Mortal characters who encounter this aura must make a saving throw or become confused at its oxymoronic nature, but outsiders suffer a more drastic reaction — devils may suffer a spontaneous demotion to a lower rank of baatezu and will eventually dissipate entirely. Thus, Asmodeus guards his copy of the Pact Primeval with exclusively mortal cultists. And that's not even getting into the dozens of homebrew aasimar/tiefling hybrids... |

Bayonetta: A variation. Bayonetta's mother was an Umbra Witch with connection to the demons of Inferno and her father was a Lumen Sage who are aligned with the Angels of Paradiso. Being female, she was raised as a witch and shows no particular affinity for the heavenly side of her ancestry, not the least because Angels in this series are abominations hostile to humanity. | |

In Cassette Beasts, companion character Felix is an artist, and while going through an anime phase in his teenage years, he drew the character Kuneko, a cat-girl with angel and demon parents (and one angel and one devil wing) who was left with a ninja clan as a Doorstop Baby. Kuneko turns out to be real on the island of New Wirral and references her parentage during Felix's sidequest, but her backstory is not elaborated on further. | |

She also gets white and black striped horns, hair color becomes white in a Light Is Not Good way, and black bat wings as a demon, while as an angel, she gets a halo, and white angel wings. | |

Preacher: Genesis (an entity as powerful as God) was created by a male angel impregnating a female demon, the resulting child escaping from containment and implanting itself within Jesse Custer, giving him the power to force anyone to do his bidding as long as they understand English (a literal Word of God). Its entire creation was orchestrated by God (who already feeds on the love and faith of humans despite his making the Earth a Crapsack World), who wanted the love of a being as powerful as Himself. | |

The Beginning After the End: Sylvie turns out to be a variation of this trope. Her mother Sylvia was the daughter of Kezess, the Lord of the Indrath Clan and the Top God of the setting as the ruler of the Epheotus, the land of the Asuras and the equivalent to heaven. While her mother's side of the family are dragons, Dragons Are Divine in the setting and thus are analogous to angels. Her father turns out to be Agrona, the Lord of the Vritra Clan and the resident Maou the Demon King and Satanic Archetype. While her father's side of the family are basilisks, they resemble horned demons and were exiled from Epheotus by the Indrath in the distant past, as such fulfilling that role in the setting's cosmology. Amusingly, despite both sides of her family being no better than the other, Sylvie turns out to be the only decent living member of both clans thanks to Arthur raising her away from the influence of either. | |

High School D×D. Akeno and Rossweisse are a variation of this. The former is a Fallen Angel while the latter is a Valkyrie who became reincarnated devils for Rias Peerage while retaining their original powers along with gaining devil powers. Issei (part devil and dragon) would have children with all his girls, including Akeno (Human/Fallen Angel/Reincarnated Devil), Irina (Human/Reincarnated Angel) and Rossweisse (Valkyrie/Reincarnated Devil). |

The titular character from Little Nicky is revealed to be the son of not only the Devil but a female angel, which is why he's a nice guy who does enjoy darker things. He is well-liked by both the denizens of Hell, with the exception of his half-demon brothers, and Heaven. He also has the ability to travel to Heaven or Hell after "death" on Earth, which requires him to do something good (Heaven) or bad (Hell) beforehand. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Whistler is the product of an Interspecies Romance between a pure-blood demon and an agent of The Powers That Be (basically an angel, although not depicted with wings). The Powers and the demons banded together to kill his parents for their transgression, but the Powers spared Whistler to serve as an agent of balance. | |
