Horizon (Apex Legends)

Dr. Mary Somers, better known as Horizon, is one of the heroes introduced in  Season 7 of Apex Legends. A famous scientist from the floating city of Olympus, she joined the Apex Games to fund time travel research in order to return to her young son, Newton.
She is voiced by Elle Newlands.
== Bio ==
75 years before the Apex Games, the Outlands were faced with an energy crisis. Mary Somers, an astrophysicist and mother of one, sought to find a solution, and eventually had a breakthrough. She discovered a new element, Branthium, which could provide a solution to the crisis that the outlands faced. Somers and her apprentice, Dr. Ashleigh Reid, departed to a black hole, as Branthium could only be found on its accretion disc. There, Reid betrayed her, taking the Branthium and leaving her to die in the black hole's orbit. Years passed for Somers, and almost a century passed for everyone else, but she was determined to return home; after escaping the black hole, she now seeks to join the Apex Games to fund research in order to go back in time and reunite with her son.
== Abilities ==
Horizon is a enthusiastic physicist who controls gravity to aid her mobility and that of her squadmates around the battlefield, while exposing enemy squads to attack. Her tactical ability, Gravity Lift, deploys a device that generates a column of energy that lifts players upwards when they step over it. Horizon's passive ability is Spacewalk, which increases her mobility in the air and reduces fall impacts. For her ultimate ability, she uses her faithful drone NEWT to create a Black Hole that pulls in enemies and delivers a powerful burst of damage.
== Personality ==
Dr. Mary Somers, or as most know her, Horizon, is among the few people hopeful about the future of the Outlands. Not only that, but she’s also confident enough to step forward and execute the solution she herself discovers. During the tragic events of her life—being betrayed or losing her loved ones—she remains in charge of her feelings, dwarfing all the hardships in front. A good example is when she returns home after 87 years only to find that everything is destroyed and her son is gone. Instead of rightfully breaking into tears, she smiles, whispering, “Don’t worry, my boy. I’ll keep that promise yet. It’s just a matter of time.
