#[ but fareeha growing up around all these amazing heroes and being told over and over that she cannot join their ranks ]

[afraidofchange]

That mother-daughter conflict of Ana trying to protect Fareeha from living the same life she did (one that involved killing machines and men alike, the burden of that grief, and the weight of responsibility as Captain of Overwatch and the people that looked to her for leadership) vs. Fareeha idolizing her mother, wanting nothing more to be like her and to make her proud and follow in her very valiant, heroic footsteps, only to be told she couldn’t, understanding it as young girls do (as a parental restraint against her freedom of choice), driving a wedge between them as she became an adult, furthering distance until Ana’s “death.”
