The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Maybe Touched by Vorlons is more apt.
^Just read the description and I'd say the first sentence pretty much covers it. But does it still count if the character already has/had powers of their own?
Clara is a superheroine and the biological daughter of Athena, the actual Olympian goddess. Her father was a mortal superhero, which makes Clara a demigoddess.
^ if it's to gain extra power, I belive that still counts.
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
^'k, thanks. Touched by Vorlons it is.
I need help with a character example for Uchi no Musume ni Te o Dasu na!.
During the epilogue chapters, Clara comes in contact with a phallic shaped alien parasite that briefly possesses her. She seemingly returns to normal after the parasite is killed, except a later chapter reveals that she's unknowingly retained a portion of the parasite's power which allows her to summon and control soul latext, just like her girlfriend Mei.
I wouldn't consider it Power Copying, since Clara's ability isn't quite the same as Mei's, or the parasite's. Clara can only turn her cape into latex and reshape it into a single object, whereas Mei can summon soul latex out of thin air and reshape it into anything she chooses.
Also, Clara didn't copy the parasite, since she lost all conscious memory of the time she was possessed by it. All she remembers is that she killed it. Or so she thought.
Is there a trope for residually retaining (a portion of) someone else's ability?
