Playable character from the first person action shooter Overwatch created by Blizzard Entertainment. She is voiced by Cara Theobold.
Tracer is an offense oriented hero in the game with abilities revolving around the manipulation of time, giving her the appearance of being extraordinarily fast. Her abilities come from an accident that occurred when she was a test pilot of an experimental ship, The Slipstream. During the test flight she was teleported away and presumed dead. She reappeared months later, but as a living ghost. Her molecules had become destabilized by the journey causing "chronal disassociation" and leaving her unable to interact with the present except in extremely brief fractional timespans. Scientist's tried to correct the problem to no avail, eventually Winston created a chronal accelerator that Tracer could wear and would allow her to control her displacement in the time stream. Using it's power she is able to slow down or speed up the passage of time as well as being able to undo causality by rewinding time to a previous moment for herself only. Tracer was a long standing member of Overwatch, but following its dissolution she continued to pursue the ethos of the organization on her own, despite the legal ramifications it entailed.
Personality
Tracer is boisterous and energetic, prone to telling jokes and giggling, even during combat. Tracer exhibits a deep curiosity, delighting in finding new places and things to explore and her fearless nature makes her a dedicated and powerful ally. She is closest friends with Winston and Mei.
