Ana is a complicated woman, someone with a great sense of pride and honour whose work and morals seem in slight contradiction. Though Ana’s job makes her a killer she only takes the lives of those that endanger her job or her team, killing only whom she must rather than anyone she meets. When Ana’s team looks at her in respect for the lives that she has taken she reminds them that those lives are as important as the lives that she is protecting. Every target is still a person to Ana, someone with their own family, which causes her regret at each kill. Ana prefers taking a clean kill over wounding a target as a lure, preferring to minimise the bloodshed and avoid needless suffering.
Her careful ways also make Ana particularly stubborn. Though her daughter Fareeha was in a good position to join Overwatch, the organisation for which Ana worked, Ana was strongly against it, insistent that Fareeha have a different life and not risk herself as Ana did each day. Ana’s stubbornness also led to her downfall. When her team became under fire during a mission everyone was ordered to evacuate, including Ana but she refused after already having lost some of her family. The loss of her teammates made Ana furious at herself, causing her to defy orders to protect the rest of her team and eliminate the other sniper. Although Ana was determined to do so things didn't work out as she planned.
This also highlights Ana’s compassion. Ana views her team not just as people that she works with but also her family, people that she would lay down her life for just as she does to keep her daughter safe. She knows all of the details of her teammates lives and their families, and is thought of by them as their mama bear. Ana also shows compassion towards the people that she kills, and regrets having to do so, knowing that whilst she takes a life to protect her team so they may go home to their family that there will be families missing the person that she has killed. Although most snipers would consider their targets just that Ana keeps in mind, and reminds others, that they are also people still.
Ana is a fierce woman, not solely as a soldier but in how she treats those around her. Ana doesn't hold back in her conversations, giving people information without pussyfooting around the issue and using sass and sarcasm where appropriately needed. With her friends Ana is known to joke or speak honestly about a situation or how she feels, even if the topic is less than pleasant. When healing others Ana's tone indicates how she feels about smaller injuries ("It's only a scratch / Walk it off") and she'll often make reference to her part in previous missions ("I'm probably still on the watchlist here") in order to rally her team's spirits or to remind them of what is important ("Stick to the plan, and if you get in trouble, I'll bail you out"). She sees herself as a protector, and not solely because she's relied on to do so. Ana's tattoo, the Eye of Horus, is a symbol of protection and good health which Ana took to protect herself but also mark herself as a protector of others.
Ana's ferocity and successful mission record aid her natural confidence. Ana is very certain about her abilities, using her confidence on missions as support for her teammates, which has also helped her to be considered as the world's best sniper. Her confidence and stubbornness also push Ana's drive to help save others, as even though Ana was considered dead by the world she found it difficult to simply sit back and watch as Talon and other bad guys hurt the world around her. Though Ana did attempt to retire for a time, her pride wounded by her mission failure, she felt guilt about leaving the world unprotected, and realised that even ghosts can help out. When Ana returned to the fight, initially sabotaging Talon's missions before seeking out her old partner Jack Morrison, Ana remarked that she didn't care about the war, only her partner, and keeping him (and others) safe.
Ana's strong sensibilities are something that she instilled in her daughter, Fareeha. Although Ana was opposed to her joining Overwatch Ana taught her how to defend herself, and taught her values such as honour, respect, and how important your team was. For Ana no one was more important to her than Fareeha, and though Ana was willing to lay her life down to protect the world (and Fareeha) the dangers that she faced in combat was why Ana was against Fareeha joining Overwatch. Although there was great honour in their work Ana loved her daughter too much to bear seeing her in danger, wishing for a safer life for her.
Though Ana is a caring and compassionate person her daughter has managed to miss seeing some of that due to Ana's stubbornness. Though Ana raised Fareeha to be able to protect herself, raising her around heroes and instilling great ideals into her, when it came to Fareeha's own dreams Ana quickly shut them down and refused Fareeha her wish. Although Ana did this out of love and protection for her daughter, wishing a better (calmer) life for her, Fareeha believed that her mother wasn't proud of her, and it gave them a tenser relationship. Although Ana is incredibly proud of her daughter Fareeha has commented that others likely knew Ana better, and when the two have spoken in game it has been with distance in their words ( Fareeha: I always dreamed of the day we would fight together / Ana: Wanting a better life for you is all I ever dreamed of ). When Ana resurfaced she sent a letter to her daughter to try and explain her actions, having allowed Fareeha to also believe her dead, but has yet to speak with her personally, still wanting to keep her safe whilst on her mission, and give Fareeha time.
Setting:
Ana will be quite restless in Thisavrou -- she's just come back from her retirement, which she was not a fan of, to fight the good fight only to be taken somewhere where that fight doesn't exist. There will be plenty of people from home, some of which will help (and some she'll have ~things to work through) but without her cause Ana will need to find her direction again. Thankfully exploring the planets, particularly those that may be dangerous, and being able to work will help Ana settle down a little. Her goals will mostly be to live, to make sure that her family is safe, and to not go stir crazy in this strange place, with her family coming first in that list. As long as they are okay she will accept being here for as long as she has to be, as long as Thisavrou doesn't do anything to negatively impact them. She won't appreciate being pulled here when she has a job to do, and may make a mention of that somewhere, or having her family kidnapped but she can work through it -- they'll all be able to return, and they're all alive.
Abilities/Skills:
SHARPSHOOTER. Originally working as a sniper for the Egyptian army Ana's skills made her become recognised as one of the world's best snipers, and was the reason she was chosen for Overwatch's strike team. Though Ana has lost the sight in one of her eyes her skills have not diminished. TACTICAL. Ana's tactical planning and strong decision making saw her become Overwatch's second in command, and highly respected among her team. BILINGUAL. Ana is fluent in both English and her native Arabic.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Proud + Protective + Compassionate ( friends and family, team = family ) + Tactical mind
- Stubborn - Proud - Not the best communicator about important issues
I have yet to find a good tea here. ( Ana's leading with the most important things, clearly ) There are people that can make it but if the quality lacks there is little point in it. You would find more sense in not drinking at all.
( She may also have graded you if you've ever made her some tea. It's nothing personal )
Perhaps one planet may have something worth finding. There has been many other things found, some more unlikely. It is something to think on while we wait.
Her oldest friend, a pain in the butt, and a complicated mess. Ana's relationship with Jack isn't something that can simply be summed up. They know each other, filling in the gaps when things are unsaid and they've always got the other's back. There's a deep trust and respect, and it would take death to pull Ana from Jack's side.
Ana trusts Angela. It's not just because they've worked together or that she's a doctor but because of the kindness that she sees, or feels, from her. She wants to work on having their relationship be more of a friendship, and Ana values Angela's opinions or guidance.
After working together for many years they'd built a strong friendship. Ana enjoys his company. It now pains her to see him hurt, particularly given that she'd also hurt him, and Ana would like to change that. She can never change what she did but she wants to work from it -- rebuild their friendship, and spend time together enjoying the simple things. She's happy for another chance to do so, as she doesn't have the same option at home.
Ana's love for Fareeha is fierce. She will fight like hell to keep her daughter safe, even if that means damaging their relationship. She's a soldier, but despite the good heart and strength that Ana knows her daughter has Ana only wants Fareeha to be safe. She knows that Fareeha could protect people, and has, but seeing her daughter face the same risks that she did is painful. Even though Ana wanted something else for Fareeha she respects the choices that her daughter has made, and is proud of her for them and the person that she is. In Thisavrou she'd like to repair the rift where she can, and whether or not Fareeha asks for it Ana will always have her back -- as a mother or a soldier.
He was one of her first introductions to Thisavrou, and despite a strange start to their conversation Ana respected him. He seemed like a kind person, and he wanted to look out for her daughter -- both good things.
Ana doesn't know much about the man, but considering how he's in the life of someone she knows it has her curious. Why is he trusted, how much does he know about Overwatch, and who is he?
He burned down her tree. It's a strange way to begin a friendship but with how amiable he was to making up for it they talked, had tea, and then Ana helped him try to take down a lava monster. He wants to do the right thing and Ana can respect that, and maybe keep an eye on him.
Her sort-of boss. It didn't take long for her to mark Shepard as a soldier, and her tactical decisions have seemed solid so far. Ana has a growing respect for her, hence why she's freelancing for her, and it would be nice to see it grow to friendship too.
