As a Mens right activist seeing a female characterswho seems to have a near compulsive need to fight and risk her life to protect the others brings tears to my eyes. It's not like tracer or D.VA where being a soldier is just this cool thing that they do. This character is no less of a soldier then soldier 76. Men are exspected to place their lifes on the lines. Seeing a female characters that truly embodies that same sense of responsibility is awesome. Especially when it seems to compromise her role as caregiver which is seen as a female role. I mean she obviously raised a good daughter. And teaching her to stand up for what she believes in means a lot.

Speaking of parallels to soldier 76 I don't think this

Without further adedo here is my analysis of anna's letter. This timestamp links to iloosecontroii's brilliant amv's

So I cannot stop fighting. Not yet Not while there are people still waiting for me.

Parents,friends,lovers,people who are important to you. They trust and help each other.

Soldiers are not supposed to seek their reason to exist. It's important that they exist as a tool.

Does becoming a real soldier mean that? I kinda don't like thaat

Well,neither I. That's why the world unconsciously suffers from that idea. Just like zabuza and that boy

Until one day I could not take the life I needed to. I hesitated and everything changed. The people who I was supposed to protect died and I was left behind gravely wounded

The reason you couldn't save your mother is because you lacked strength

I never told you of the weight I carry from all those I killed to keep everyone safe.

You can never build happiness off the death of others

But for all that I have lost I know that there are still people who need to be protected.

This line is clearly talking about protecting her friends however it's delivery implies protecting over one which is the ultimate goal of overwatch.

-There can be no happiness in the world where the undesirables still live.

-What I'm doing now is the lords justice!

-The world still rots. There are too many rotten people. Somebody has to do something I

-I knew that killing people was a crime. But there is no other way to correct things! That is the purpose given to me

-There's no choice but to eliminate them
