**Hana Song** (Also known as **D.Va**) is one of the many playable characters in Overwatch.

## Background

Twenty years ago, South Korea was attacked by a colossal Omnic monstrosity that rose from the depths of the East China Sea. The massive, lumbering construct caused catastrophic damage to coastal cities before it was driven back beneath the waves. In response, the South Korean government developed a mechanized armored drone unit, called MEKA, to protect urban environments in future engagements with the Omnic threat. The government's fears proved to be well founded, as a disturbing pattern of attacks emerged. Every few years, the monstrosity would rise from the sea to assault South Korea and its neighbors. The Omnic learned from these encounters, often reconfiguring itself in a different form and appearing with new weapons and capabilities. Each incident ended in a stalemate, with the monstrosity defeated but not destroyed.

As the Omnic continued to adapt, it eventually disrupted MEKA's drone-control networks, forcing the military to place pilots in the mechs. Scrambling to find suitable candidates, the government turned to the country's professional gamers, who possessed the necessary reflexes and instincts to operate the mechs' advanced weapons systems. Top stars were drafted, including reigning world champion Hana Song, also known as "D.Va." Famous for her elite skills, D.Va was a fierce competitor who played to win at all costs, and she had a well-earned reputation for showing no mercy to her opponents. Seeing her new mission as a game, D.Va fearlessly charges into battle alongside the rest of her MEKA unit, ready to spring to her nation's defense at a moment's notice.

Recently, she has begun to stream combat operations to her adoring fans, and her growing following has turned her into a global icon.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Expert Pilot and Gamer:** Due to her quick reflexes and experience with machinery, Hana has a high amount of skill piloting mechs and using controllers.

## Equipment

* **Light Gun:** A small automatic blaster that D.Va uses when she's not using her MEKA. It is not very powerful, but it gets the job done.
* **MEKA:** D.Va's signature mech. An extremely durable combat robot that Hana can pilot with ease. It has a pair of Fusion Cannons that have infinite ammunition and deal quite a lot of damage to the enemy. It also has a pair of Boosters that Hana can activate at any moment to make MEKA fly at blistering speeds, damaging anyone who gets in the way. MEKA's Defense Matrix allows her to shoot down any projectile that is shot directly in front of her. Lastly, D.Va can detonate her MEKA, causing a huge explosion that can kill most enemies. After the self-destruction,D.Va can instantly call another MEKA.
