Vulpine

World traveler and professional survivalist Vulpine hails from the rural, tourism-filled city of Puerto Iguazú, in the Misiones province of Argentina. Growing up around the beautiful waterfalls and forests, she would go into the forests on her own a lot and picked up hobbies in camping and surviving in the wild.

Her parents were distant and vague, leaving her alone for most of her childhood and only providing her a house she could come back to, and money to use while she was out on her own. This was not because they did not love her, but rather, they did it because they loved her. Her parents were small time drug traffickers and did not want Catalina to become involved in their dangerous business.

At the age of 17, Catalina's parents were both killed by a ruthless crime lord for trying to screw him out of a deal, and Catalina herself went missing. According to the news reports, she was either kidnapped or killed by the same crime lord out of retaliation, and the case was let go.

The truth was, just hours before their deaths, Catalina's father had sent her a message. He let her in on everything including the drug business and instructed her to take everything she had and leave. He also gave her the details to his bank account which contained over ten million dollars and asked her to spend it wisely, and not to transfer too large sums to her personal account lest it raise suspicions from the authorities. Her father provided her with a contact of a friend in Numbani that could help her if she did reach the paradise city. The last contact Catalina had with her parents was her father telling her he loved her.

Catalina left home with nothing but her survival gear, the details of the bank account containing her newfound wealth, and a weathered pistol. She hitched a ride with some Omnics headed into North America and while travelling with them, learned more about the Omnic Crisis and Overwatch's rise and downfall - a story she found incredibly riveting.

Upon reaching the border of the USA, Catalina and the Omnics were stopped. Catalina was allowed to pass through after paying a bribe using her father's money, while the Omnics were unable to pay and were about to be shot. Unable to let her new friends die like that, Catalina paid their bribes as well and continued to travel through America with them. In exchange for helping them into America, the Omnics told her everything she wanted to know about the world, including stories of the utopia that was Numbani, the enlightened Omnic monk Zenyatta, Blackwatch, and the irradiated lands of Australia.

They were intending on heading to New York City but were intercepted while travelling through Virginia by a group of anti-Omnic protestors. In a bid to protect her friends, Catalina attacked the protestors and was able to kill them, but not before they had destroyed the Omnics. Alone once more, Catalina stopped heading towards New York and ventured into the forest, where she remained for a few weeks until she reached a shipyard.

With nowhere else to go, she hitched a ride on a ship heading to Australia by tipping off the captain and first mate, who allowed her to ride with them. While she was sailing to Australia, she traded her pistol for a pneumatic heat rifle from the ship's captain and was taught how to use it.

Once they arrived in Australia, Catalina struck out on her own once more, learning to live in the harsh, irradiated outback on her own. She remained there for five years and survived alone throughout that whole time. She circled Junkertown and would occasionally sneak in to steal resources she needed to survive, as well as bribing Junkers to help her out every so often. A few Junkers she made friends with provided her with important resources, including a thruster that Catalina modded to be able to burn fuel in almost total silence. From her ingenuity and cunning, she was bestowed with the nickname of "Vulpine", which she chose to carry with her.

At 22, Vulpine met the two exiled Junkers, Junkrat and Roadhog. While she was initially intending to kill both of them for their loot, she became interested in their way of life and found that she was becoming more invested in following them. The two became aware of Vulpine tracking them when they found hunted food had been left for them after she had watched them fail to catch anything in the outback for a good day. However, she remained hidden away from them until she decided they would be friendly with her.

Vulpine met Junkrat and Roadhog face to face after watching them fail to catch a hare. With her rifle, she shot the rabbit in front of them and announced her presence. While she was initially met with distrust from both of them, Junkrat was quick to accept her, while Roadhog remained wary of her for a long time. While tagging along with them, Vulpine became the designated hunter and marksman as they went on their criminal spree throughout the world.

Word of her marksmanship and survival skills got out to the revitalized Overwatch under Winston's command. Winston contacted her personally and they met in Numbani, with Junkrat and Roadhog coming along with Vulpine. Winston offered her a place in Overwatch, and Vulpine agreed under the condition that Overwatch grants the two ex-Junkers immunity. While Winston was not happy to accept, he relented as Vulpine's skills were necessary to Overwatch.

Pneumatic Heat Rifle - Fire
Vulpine is equipped with a pneumatic heat rifle that fires bolts of superheated, compressed air at a velocity high enough to pierce skin, muscle, bone and metal. Because it does not fire bullets, it has no reload. However, it does overheat and pressure needs to be released when the gun has overheated.

Pulsar Sensor - Alt Fire
A deployable sensor that can be thrown onto any surface. When deployed, it pulses a wide area and reveals any enemy that moves. The sensor can be destroyed by any source of damage.

Homing Autocannon - Ability 1
One rocket locks onto each target within line of sight, or any marked targets. Rockets do splash damage to enemies nearby as well. Marked targets do not need to be in line of sight to be homed in on by the autocannon.

Mark - Ability 2
Mark targets to be homed in on by the autocannon. Requires line of sight to mark, and the mark will be removed if it expires after 15 seconds or if the marked target dies. All marks are removed if Sombra hacks Vulpine, or if Vulpine is affected by an EMP.

Foxhole Thruster - Ultimate
Launch into the sky in silence and fly for 5 seconds. All targets in line of sight are marked automatically. Vulpine cannot use her abilities or fire while in flight.
