Ana, Hero 22 and mother of Pharah, was the first new character added to the game in the months following the launch of Overwatch in 2016.

With a plethora of DPS heroes and to a lesser degree Tanks, Blizzard knew that they needed another Support in the game.

Originally an "Alchemist" themed character, several iterations later brought us the Ana we know today, a sharpshooting support healer with strong CC, a potent ally buff and the game's only source of anti-healing.
