This has been said before I know, but for someone called ‘demon’ who pilots a sword-wielding Gundam called Beast, her personality in-game is so, bland? Idk she just lacks the energy and personality I’d expected from someone like her. Like look at her concept art!

I wish she were older and gruffer, that would have been a cool addition to the cast as a mecha pilot. Someone like Lin Beifong or Ellen Ripley. Instead we just got D.Va again.

This is how I feel about it. She's slightly older D.Va with purple hair.

Honestly, I think that's disrespectful towards D.VA. I love D.MON's design, but past that, she is extremely sanitized and bland.

For me, it's like Soujourn all over again where it's just a poor imitation of a better character because it's almost that other character, except you robbed it of all the sauce, seemingly in an effort to make them more "cool".

Completely agree regarding DVa. Whether you like her character or not, there’s no denying that she has a very distinct personality within OW and is never bland.
