In an interview, Overwatch<\/em>\u2019s lead narrative designer Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie said that the team had discussions with people to make sure that they approached Lifeweaver\u2019s sexuality appropriately. And in doing so, they realized that openness would be a crucial element.<\/p>
\u201cRepresentation has always been important to this team and we\u2019ve been looking for a way to express that more,\u201d Jurgens-Fyhrie said. \u201cYou\u2019ll see that reflected in both his in-game lines, his conversations, and other material.\u201d<\/p>
Not only was openness critical, but Jurgens-Fyhrie added that it was important to those who Blizzard consulted that Lifeweaver\u2019s sexuality be more than just a label\u2014and players will see that in the way he interacts with other heroes in the game.<\/p>
According to Jurgens-Fyhrie, Lifeweaver is a little bit of a flirt, and players will see that play out with pre-match dialog between the handsome flower-themed character and others in the lobby.<\/p>
\u201cI\u2019m very happy to say it\u2019s something we are making a part of his core character,\u201d Jurgens-Fyhrie said. \u201cYou\u2019ll see this expressed in conversations with other heroes. I don\u2019t want to give any spoilers, but there\u2019s going to be some flirting going on.\u201d<\/p>
