Bring Maphitak Weerawan's character Tara to the game of Overwatch.

Tara is a stunning character with realistic motivations and a unique look that fits the game of Overwatch in a way that no other fan art has ever done. Adding Tara into the game would be significantly easier than making a new hero from scratch seeing as most (if not all) of the character design has been done for the development team, meaning that implementation of this character can happen much more quickly, both extending the lifetime of the game and doing a great service to the player base. Seeing as new characters should hypothetically lead to an increase in the number of loot-boxes bought, due to a demand for the new cosmetics, this character should simultaneously save (on development time and resources) and make (through cosmetics) Overwatch money. Both Tara and her abilities would be a magnificent addition to the game and would inspire many young artists and graphic designers to dream big and to attempt to make those dreams come true.
