The next morning, Kamiko woke up in her bed. She yawned and stretched, blinking her eyes open, 'was that a dream? If it was, it was a really good one' she thought with a smile, before sitting up and getting out of bed. Or trying to. It was as she did that, that she realised that she had a weight on her back and she nearly fell backwards. "Woah! What the-!" she exclaimed, looking behind her to find the problem. What she saw made Kamiko's eyes widen, "it was real! Wow!" she cried, smiling at the four white wings now sticking out of her back, "that was fast!" she exclaimed. Standing up much slower this time, the black-haired girl tried to adjust to her new centre of gravity, "this is gonna take a bit of getting used to" she muttered. Leaning forwards, the newly awakened Goddess stood up much slower, compensating for her new appendages. "Kamiko-Chan, breakfast is ready-" her Mother began, opening the door of her Daughter's bedroom, before freezing.
There her Daughter stood, with four white wings sticking out of her back. Yui stared at the little girl, eyes wide in shock. Kamiko looked up, beaming at her Mother, "I got my Quirk Mama!" she cried excitedly. Her Mother covered her mouth with her hands, tears gathering in her eyes, "your Quirk- my baby has a Quirk! Oh Kamiko!" Yui exclaimed, crying tears of joy, before rushing forwards and engulfing her daughter into the biggest hug. In doing so, she nearly knocked her down again. "Mama! It's already hard enough trying to balance myself with so much extra weight on my back! Can you not knock me over please!" the young Goddess exclaimed, but she was smiling too. Kamiko hugged her Mother back, "I guess what happened yesterday triggered it to awaken finally" she said softly. Her Mother sobbed in happiness, before pulling back, still sniffling and with tears in her eyes, "I'm going to cook us a feast for breakfast to celebrate your new Quirk Kamiko! Get dressed quickly and hurry down!" she exclaimed joyfully, hurrying out of the room.
Kamiko giggled with a big smile, "right, time to get dressed- oh" she began, only to falter when she realised that none of her shirts had holes for her new wings, and that would make it very uncomfortable. "Uh, Mama!?" she called down the stairs. "yeah?" Yui replied. "I don't have any shirts or dresses that I can wear without having my wings all squished!" she explained. The woman came back to the bottom of the stairs with a frown on her face, "that is true- I'll tell you what, before we go register your new Quirk, we'll go shopping for some clothes specifically made with wing Quirks in mind. We can get a second pair of holes cut in them if we have to as well, how's that sound?" The young girl giggled, "yeah!" she exclaimed, hurrying back to get dressed. Yui smiled happily, going off to get breakfast started.

The small family walked through a shopping centre, looking at the different types of clothing make for people with Mutation-type Quirks. As far as anyone knew, Kamiko would have a Mutation/Activation/Emission type Quirk. It was rare for people to have more than one Quirk, and exceedingly rare for someone to have three at once. So, since she couldn't use most of her powers yet, Kamiko and Elizabeth agreed that they wouldn't tell anyone until they did awaken. The Mutation part was for her new wings, and the Activation was for her eyes. That was what she had decided based on a small description of the basics of her new powers from Elizabeth. The Emission was for her Celestial Energy based powers, that she hadn't got yet. Technically, she didn't know about them yet, so she didn't say anything. Of course, the only part of her Goddess powers she could currently tap into consciously were her new wings. According to her new mentor, she would have to train more to have access to the others. So for right now, her "Quirk" was purely a Mutation-based one.
Soon enough they entered the first shop. There were all kinds of clothes in there. Kamiko immediately went for the ones for people with wing Quirks. As she did, a friendly shop employee came up to them, "hello, looking for anything in particular?" she asked. Yui nodded, "yes, my daughter is a late bloomer, and she needs new clothes that won't squash her wings" she explained. The woman nodded, looking down at the young girl, "ah, I see, well the shirts for wing Mutation-type Quirk-holders are over here" the worker replied, leading them over to a rack of shirts with holes in the back for wings to stick out of. As Kamiko looked through them, her Mother noticed a problem, "are their any shirts that have more than two wing holes? Kamiko-Chan has two sets of wings you see-" she explained. The assistant looked the 6-year-old over, nodding, "I see, well, you could always get a custom order, it's basically just buying the shirts that you like and having more holes cut out of the back" she replied.
Yui frowned, "will that be expensive?" she asked. The shop assistant shook her head, "oh, not at all. It's really quite cheap actually. Why don't you pick some out, and we'll get ready to alter them, okay?" the friendly woman replied with a smile. Kamiko nodded, looking through the clothes. Suddenly something caught her attention. It was a white sleeveless dress with a small red tie. "Oh my, that looks like the outfit I used to wear in my first life" Elizabeth said cheerfully. "Can I get this Mama?" the young Goddess asked her Mother. "Sure, but we'll get some other clothes as well" her Mother replied. Eventually Kamiko walked out of the shop wearing the white dress with wing holes cut out of the back. She also wore black leggings and white boots. "it's a good thing they let us customize your clothes without having to pay too much, isn't it?" her Mother asked. "Yeah, hey Mama, do you think I look good in this?" Kamiko asked shyly. "I think it looks great on you. We don't have to be at the Quirk Registration Office until later, so let's get some lunch first" Yui replied.
"Okay!" the black-haired Goddess replied cheerfully.

As they ate lunch, Elizabeth looked around through Kamiko's eyes. "Everything is so big here. Back when I was alive in all of my past lives and my original one, buildings were never so huge- well except for the castle's and the home of the Goddesses" she commented. Kamiko hid her confusion from her face, 'what do you mean, past "lives"? Are you saying that you had more past lives than your Goddess one? What were you before that?' she thought. However, she got the feeling that Elizabeth was sad, "I'm sorry, it's just- that time was very painful for me. I'd prefer not to talk about it if that's okay" she replied. 'Oh! Uh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to pry about painful memories! Don't worry, I won't ask again' Kamiko replied apologetically. "It's okay, you didn't know, and maybe one day I'll tell you, but not right now please" Elizabeth replied. 'Okay' Kamiko replied quietly. Both Goddess's were silent from then on.

After lunch, the Mother and daughter went to the Quirk Registration Office. The man behind the counter had a lion's head. "Welcome to the Quirk Registration Office, how can I help you today?" he asked cheerfully. "We need to register my Daughter's new Quirk" Yui explained. "Of course, here's a form for you, now, give me your daughter's name please". It went on like that until they got to the part Kamiko had been waiting for: "alright, and now time for your Quirk information" the man said. "It's a Mutation-type Quirk" the Mother replied. The Lion-headed man looked up at the young Goddess, "ah, yes, the wings. Alright, that's that done. Now, do you have a name in mind for your Quirk?" the worker asked. "Um, a name-" Kamiko muttered in thought, 'any idea's Elizabeth?' she thought. "How about "Grace"? Back in my time, only the four Archangels had Grace, but since you're the only Goddess left, I don't think they'd mind" the older Goddess suggested. "How about we call it 'Grace'? or at least, that was the name I was thinking about" Kamiko said.
"Alright, "Grace" it is" the worker replied with a nod.

The two walked out of the Registration Office holding hands, with Kamiko holding her new Quirk Registration. Name: Kamiko Itsuna. Age: 6. Quirk Type: Mutation. Quirk name: Grace.

After they'd registered Kamiko's Quirk, she and her Mother went to a Quirk Training Facility in order to sign the young Goddess up for training. Thankfully, they had a Volunteer who could help her. The Wing Hero: Hawks. That made Elizabeth sad again, "one of my old friends was a pig named Hawk. I miss him, I miss all of my friends." She paused for a moment, before continuing to speak, "don't mind me, you train with your wings for now Kamiko-Chan" the older Goddess added. "It's nice to meet you both, I'm the Pro Hero Hawks" the Hero introduced herself, reaching out to shake hands with her Mother. "Itsuna Yui, nice to meet you Sir. Thank you for taking the time to help my daughter" the other adult replied, taking Hawks hand in her's. Hawks smiled, "I was happy to, not many people with wing Quirks around here" he replied. Then he bent down to be eye-level with the young Goddess, "it's nice to meet you, my name is Hawks" he said, holding out his hand. Kamiko shook it, "Itsuna Kamiko, nice to meet you Sir" she replied.
Hawks smiled, "you've raised a very polite daughter Itsuna-San" he said. "If it's alright with you I'll be training you soon Kamiko-Chan" he said to the little girl. Kamiko nodded, "it's okay, thank you very much" she replied with a bow.

It was decided that they'd go their every Thursday afternoon to train with Kamiko's 'Quirk'. After buying ingredients for dinner, Kamiko and her Mother went home. As she was driving, Yui glanced out of the corner of her eye at her daughter, "so, today went well, huh?" she asked. Kamiko nodded with a smile, "mhm" she said happily. "Are you looking forward to starting your training?" Yui asked. "Yep! I especially want to learn to fly!" the young Goddess exclaimed with an excited grin. "I know you'll be able to be a great Hero one day baby. I'll be cheering for you Kamiko-Chan!" the adult said.
