There is a perfectly valid reason for bringing her appearance onto this list as, well; we know what she looks like. As do at least six million others, judging by YouTube views alone.

Sometimes, games have a tendency to create female characters as nothing more than either pandering to a certain demographic or just to give an animator a lovely week’s work. But what stands out about Sombra is that there seems to be an actual effort made to diversify her look from the other females within the game.

Widowmaker and Symmetra can be confused (not easily) and it seems as though Blizzard settled on Sombra's purple/pink hue for the sake of introducing more variety to the visual flourish of combat.

Just a simple gamer trying to make his way through as many heart-stopping experiences and anything No Man's Sky can still throw at me. Always happy to have a talk, pull up a pew and welcome you into my slightly crazy world.
