Does anyone know why Ashe has red eyes?

MORE LORE NEEDED. Plz insert nao blizzard.

Really & truly at the end of the day it’s up to personal interpretation.

If people feel like she’s albino, she’s albino, if they don’t, they don’t.

The writing team keeps all details vague so that the fandom has a lot of creative control with their headcanons (which is a different problem in itself) and with the current state of affairs within Blizzard and how people react when lore is released I doubt that will change anytime soon.

I want to know who that family is that Reaper is creepily watching in the Christmas comic.

My money is on ex-wife. Hard to keep a relationship when you’re busy being all… evil. YES though, NEED TO KNOW.

Tracer and Ashes skin color is nearly identical:

yeah these examples are pretty bad; it really depends on the lighting. The characters can look really pale and really tan, because the lighting can be very different in different maps/places. And Moira and Zarya both look much paler in comparison to Ashe.

When people are THIS desperate for a new POC hero.

68

Albino isn’t a race? Are we referring to people with conditions as POC now?

69

What I don’t fully understand is her hair colour, she’s had white hair throughout her whole childhood and unless her parents thought it was a good and ethical idea to dye their child’s hair at the age of around 5, then something seems off.

Is white even a natural hair colour at birth?

70

A person with albinism and white skin usually still has facial features and characteristics of someone of their own race without albinism, I was mocking the OP, don’t ask dumb questions.

71

Casually dodges the eye/hair colour arguments.

72

Then you’re doing a poor job, because that didn’t make sense at all.

73

I’m sure it is thr same reason why Sombra has purple eyes and Widowmaker has bright yellow eyes.
Because it fit with the color pallet.

I would assume genetics or colored lens on her eyes.

75

Let me slow it down for you then, a natively black person with albinism will still have the facial features of a natively black person, wider nose, bigger lips, a further convexed jawline and curly hair, ashe has none of those, so I was mocking OP for trying to insinuate that ashe is natively black with albinism, because she has euro-centric facial features.

76

When exactly did the OP do this? If I recall correctly, all they did was ask why she has red eyes.

Either artistic license or albino for diversity pandering.

My guess is artistic license because when a company panders they usually like to make it abundantly clear to get that tasty free advertising from the various news sites slingshotting their game into the public eye again as they know game journalists generally eat that diversity stuff up like cake.

But so far haven’t seen Blizzard coming forth with anything, so probably artistic license.

Heck Sombra has purple eyes even. And widowmakers eyes are yellow. They can go with what ever color even if its not a eye color in the real world

Unknown.

My guess is she had the money to alter her physical appearance. It’s the future so I bet that’s possible. She probably cried and whined as a kid to her parents to change her eye color to red.

That or just contact lenses

I don’t know if she had to “cry and whine”. Apparently they gave her whatever she wanted. Not outlandish to think they let her get whatever future “body mods” she asked for.
I think this is the youngest we see yer as:

and she has the red eyes, black eyebrows and whatever… but could still be makeup/contacts/mods.
