This article can’t to my mind as well as I had just read it a few weeks ago and at first I thought this article was covering the same girl from the pcgamer article. I will agree both girls share eery resembleness to the character. Certain screenshots of the character more closely resemble the Sara from this article, while other screen shots more closely resemble the girl from the pcgamer article. I think the research that cyberpunks.com uncovered of anime and video game characters whose not only appearance but name also closely resemble the overwatch character and are from 5+ years ago just proves that these girls may not be as original as they claim. You may think you’re being original but many don’t realize that their creativeness borrows off images that’s been stored in your subconscious. A cutesy, pale skin, pink hair, girl is not that far fetched as I know females personally who are petite, pale skin, and die their hair pink. The shape under the eye is also nothing new as just about any girl who takes a selfie on snapchat or instagram use filters that add shapes and characters to their face many times being under their eyes. Most artwork I see nowadays also adds such shapes under the characters eyes. Did overwatch deliberately steal likeness from these two girls specifically? I doubt it, I think the artists who created this character probably has watched alot of anime and played alot of anime in their years and although we can’t remember ever character we come across, but borrowed traits from all of these characters pulled from their subconscious without them even realizing it. The same goes for the name, the girl from this article admitted for reasons unknown to us that her name is fictious, but often times when trying to come up for a name for a personal your concious will connect the dots for you without even knowing it. So with so many pink hair characters named saraphinne, saraphinne, that Sara phine is not that far fetched either. Another point is try coming up with a petite, pale skin, pink hair, character that does not somewhat resemble any of these Sara’s. It may be harder than you think and there’s only so much you can do to differentiate a character from anything else that has ever been created. We live in a world with artistic freedom whether it’s with your personal looks, artwork, or animation and for about 40-50 years now many have strived to create something new and unique now leaving very few stones un-turned. Just like how normal people that no one has ever heard of coincidentally resemble a pop culture character whether it’s from a movie, tv show, book, or game, we do have 7 billion people on this planet who have create a unique personality for themselves, the human body only has so many characteristics so it’s pretty common for two people to look like each other or a character you created to resemble someone you never seen before. So no I think these girls have no right to say or sue riot games because a character they have somewhat resembles themselves, especially with examples from years prior to the creation of their persona also resembles in name and likeness. I see no harm in the coincidence either. If anything it will just give them more exposure, but to say it’s harming their image? No way, that just gives off the vibe that they are self entitled believing they are owed something just because of a few similar traits that are not uncommon in our culture, only speaking up for attention. Otherwise anyone who looks like anyone would be crying for a payout, hell I get told I look like MGK because of my tattoos and hair style that I’ve had since 2008 and I’ve never went to the news to complain about it. These girls need to grow up and realize that it you want to make something of yourself it’s going to take hard work and dedication, dressing up and taking pictures of yourselves might get you by when your young but it won’t bring you world wide recognition, fame, or riches. You got to set yourself apart from everything else and put in dedication and hard work to achieve that.

Who? What? Are you lost?

It ain’t hurting anyone right, this girl isn’t getting hurt and to even claim she is inspiration is crazy it’s like the guy that said he was Prince’s son but he wasn’t it’s people trying to link themselves to something popular or try to get 15 minutes of fame. However if she can prove without a doubt that she was the inspiration then cool I’m wrong but I’m Mexican and have long hair and look like Victor from Smoke signals but I don’t claim to be him or be the inspiration I just happen to have similar characteristics. But know everyone is trippien on the most minute thing

Well, I’ve had the Covid recently, so that wasn’t great. Creeping middle age? Male pattern baldness? An occasional yet overwhelming sense of ennui and apathy? Lactose intolerance? Gallbladder issues? Recent onset cat allergies? Periodic episodes of panic at the fleeting nature of human existence, the incomprehensible vastness of the universe, and really – what is the point of it all, when you get right down to it?

Nothing major, but you’re free to take your pick from the list.

What’s wrong with you, Pal?
