Mizuko

Nora turning into a baby-like form and falling into the pond at Grandmother Iki's house.

A mizuko (水 (みず) 子 (こ) , mizuko^?, lit. "water child") is a miscarried, stillborn, or aborted child who died before or shortly after birth. The Stray is currently the only known mizuko in the series.

In Noragami

Mizuko in the series still possess a soul, as it was remarked that Nora's "tiny soul" was touched by an ayakashi. They have no concept of right and wrong, and giving a mizuko a name is akin to giving them the life they did not have a chance to live.

After giving Nora the name "Hiiro", Yato sees what should have been her memories: darkness (likely that of the womb), along with a consistent "boom" (possibly a heartbeat), and speech bubbles that imply unclear or muffled voices.
