Welcome!

My first thought is Syngonium, but... could you post a photo of the whole plant? Is this a houseplant? In your garden? In the woods?

Ontario Canada or California?

Thank You! I live in Ontario Canada, all I have of this plant is a couple cuttings with a couple leaves in water. I believe my aunt got it in Cuba.

Specifically, that looks like a Trileaf Wonder Syngonium. If it is, it will lose that pale coloration on the leaves as it ages. If that happens, don't panic and assume your plant is ailing.
I have found that coffee, tea, and rose can all agree on one thing... water everyday.

Could that just be the mature leaf form of a Syngonium?

Apparently there is a cultivar with the name of 'Trileaf Wonder' but we currently have no photos in our database for it: Nephthytis (Syngonium podophyllum 'Trileaf Wonder') and when googling all of the photos I came across for the name, show leaves without variegation of any sort.

Another similar Syngonium is Arrowhead Vine (Syngonium angustatum) but since they can be so variable and if it didn't have a label/tag, it's really difficult to put an exact name on it.

It could be. But, we have the trileaf here. The young leaves have this beautiful cream or pale green variegation with a shape that is either tri-lobed or the standard syngonium leaf shape (when really new) and the mature leaves are green with the tri-lobed shape.
