D.Va

D.Va is the call sign of Hana Song (Revised Romanization: ''Song Ha-na'') (), a character developed by Blizzard Entertainment for their ''Overwatch'' franchise. She was introduced at the launch of the franchise's first entry, a 2016 first-person hero shooter video game, and returned in its 2022 sequel, ''Overwatch 2''. She features in the franchise's related animated and literary media. Outside of ''Overwatch'', D.Va also appears as a playable character in the crossover multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game ''Heroes of the Storm'' and as a gameplay announcer in ''StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void''. In English-language media, D.Va is voiced by Charlet Chung.

In ''Overwatch'' lore, D.Va is a professional eSports gamer from Busan, South Korea. Along with other pro gamers, she is recruited by the Mobile Exo-Force of the Korean Army (MEKA) to help quell an uprising by robotic Omnics, using their video game-playing skills to control weaponized mech suits. Within the game, D.Va is a tank character who can deal a stream of damage and, for a short time, neutralize incoming attacks. If her suit is destroyed, she can eject from it and survive long enough to call in a new suit. Her Ultimate Ability allows her to self-detonate her suit, dealing heavy enough damage to eliminate most characters within line of sight.

D.Va has been well received by critics and players, particularly among ''Overwatch''s female and LGBT fanbase. Media writers have commented positively on her design's considerably feminine attributes and have noted her likeness being used in feminist movements. Critics have also juxtaposed D.Va's status as a feminist icon in gaming with that of her sexualized image online, citing her prominence in fan-produced pornography. Her presence in other fan-produced works, such as cosplay and memes, has also been documented. Provided by Wikipedia
