Is Widowmaker an Alien?

Why is her skin purple? Very confused.

Overwatch needs lore knowledge test for new players

Make it a mini-game too. Some kind of objectives involved somehow.

As her biography states :

Talon’s geneticist, Moira O’Deorain, altered Amélie’s physiology to improve her aim, drastically slowing her heart, which turned her skin cold and blue, and numbed her ability to experience human emotion.

Somebody beat me to it. Widow’s tragic backstory is 1 of the coolest things about her, imo.

it’s purple because the claw turn her into the best assassin, when you shoot with a sniper , your heart beat need to be slow , same as your breathing , so they slowed the heart of widow , that turned her skin purple and deleted all emotions from her, the only moment she feel something is when she kill someone.
