@AndersKingBee Жыл бұрын
To me it’s a tie between the sad interaction with Sigma, as well as the mythology behind her Valkyrie/Sigrún skins, and its custom ultimate voice line, “Til Valhall” (Norwegian spelling - I think she says Valhalla instead though. Either way it translates to “To Valhalla.”) Neither the Valhalla or Sigrún skins are that good-looking, but the mythology and culture behind it, combined with the custom voice line, makes the Sigrún skin one of my favourites. As a Norwegian, it just makes sense to me.

I lowkey wonder if what Sigma says has some meaning like... Birds? Could this be Pharah (Flyer) or Genji (Sparrow)? Or do they both just like birds?? Music?

The anniversary cards are so cool! Mercy's representing change must be about how she is very set in her ways and while her and moira could do great things together she's too concerned with being pacifist and moira is too concerned with rushing progress. After i saw this I was curious what moira's was too since theyre both my mains and if anyone is curious hers is the nine of hearts, which symbolises enjoying today and not worrying about tomorrow basically, which is perfect for moira, seeing as she is so concerned with breaking humanities limits, she's hurting herself.

I would like to point out the latin phrase "Primum non nocere" is Do No Harm,but it is also the phrase of the Oath that doctors swear by called the "Hypocratic Oath". The oath is named after the Greek doctor and philosopher Hypocrates, the father of mordern medicne. Angela is a doctor so at onw point she had to swear to "Above all else, Do No Harm" so she has it on her uniform. (but she carries a pistol that does quite a bit of damage so idk about her keeping that oath.)

Her code name is “mercy” because of an interaction with a soldier while she was stationed in Pakistan a while back. Thought I would share 🤷♀️

A red cross on a white background (ie the Red Cross emblem) is protected under the Geneva Convention, meaning that her toast victory pose is illegal and in violation of the Geneva Convention -- this is something that happens a lot in video games and makes for some very funny patch notes. I hadn't actually thought about this til now, but this might be why she's Swiss: the Red Cross emblem is a deliberate reversal of the Swiss flag colours and the movement originated in Geneva, Switzerland
