An Overwatch fan painted Pharah's Raindancer skin, which shows her Native American heritage.
Sam is a member of a Canadian First Nation, from the Pacific Northwest. Pharah's Raindancer and Thunderbird skins reference iconography from the nations of the region.

The Overwatch fan artist created a bust painting (which you can see here) of Raindancer Pharah, which features the Overwatch hero in braids and face paint. Her Thunderbird skin also takes inspiration from Native Americans, which Blizzard later clarified was a part of Pharah's heritage.
Pharah's half Egyptian and half Native American heritage is another example of the diversity in Overwatch, ranging from heroes of many nationalities and different sexualities, which is important to both the game and the gaming industry. Blizzard recently added a spray of Tracer's girlfriend, Emily, to the Public Test Region.
Players can test the Symmetra rework on the PTR -- available only for PC players. The rework removed her from the support hero category and placed her in the game's new damage category, which combines both offense and defense heroes. New social features can also be tested, though the features will join live servers at a later date.
