Moe / Overwatch

• Mei seems to have been explicitly designed to be cute and huggable with her big eyes and Nerd Glasses, despite being just as capable as any other character. Even Snowball looks like an anime sidekick. It helps that her name lends itself well to puns.
  Voice Clip: A-Mei-zing!
  • Meta-wise, her voice actress, Zhang Yu, also gets this reaction by many fans because of how she's just as adorable in real life as the character she plays. Seriously.
• D.Va as well: The youngest character in the game, a girl in her late teens, a highly competitive streak for potential Tsundere actions, and a rather petite body in a form-fitting plug suit, all of them are recipes for a very adorable character. She became even more so when the Shooting Stars short revealed a lot of her more aggressive personality traits are an act she puts on for the cameras-in reality, she's a Nice Girl Wrench Wench with a Workaholic streak.
• As shown in Ana's origins video, Pharah was positively adorable as a child.
• Mercy was pretty cute as a 17-year-old.
• Tracer’s no slouch in this department either, being a cute, friendly young lady with freckles, tremendous enthusiasm and quite the capacity to stay positive. Her voice lines, emotes and victory poses all convey a playful, youthful exuberance, and her appearances in the animated shorts give her some beautifully rendered and very◊ expressive◊ eyes.
• Most of the in-costume child versions of the heroes in the "Trick or Treat" sprays qualify. Examples include kid Genji waving two wooden swords with his candy bag over his shoulder, young Lúcio rollerskating around with a bag of candy and oversized goggles, and child Cassidy stealing someone's bowl of candy.
• Most of the children characters who appear in the animated shorts are this due to the art style and their demeanor. The two most prominent examples would be Timmy in the cinematic trailer — who spends most of his screen time geeking out over the Overwatch heroes and Tracer in particular, and Alejandra in the short Hero with her Girlish Pigtails, big eyes and the belief that Soldier: 76 is still a hero.
• Heck, even Bastion qualifies. Sure, it may be an armed killing machine who terrifies everyone it encounters in-story due to being emblematic of a cataclysmic war, but it is also incredibly gentle around animals, communicates with adorable chirping noises, no longer seems to harbor any hostility toward humans, and possesses a childlike curiosity about the outside world. Its response to Torbjörn confronting it in Binary is to offer him a flower, and its response to Lúcio being friendly toward it in-game is downright bashful.
• Kiriko, a ninja girl with a fox spirit. Her Origin shows her as little girl training in her family arts as well as protecting animals from bullies.
  • Her short expands on this with her signing back to a deaf little girl.
