Mercy cosplayer brings the holiday spirit
Mercy is one of the most popular healer characters in the hero-shooter, and her design mimicking that of a guardian angel makes her the perfect fit for Christmas.
Cosplayer ‘Shannon Noelle‘ gave the hero a modern holiday twist, and created a costume that imagines the character in a red and white velvet Santa outfit, with a hoodie covering her locks of hair.
The artist shows off her incredible recreation of Mercy’s wings in her photograph, putting great attention to detail in the golden armor on top of her wings.

Shannon shared more photos of her Christmas outfit on her Instagram, and took her costume to the next level with her creative pose of Mercy opening a present.
Cleverly, instead of a traditional gift box, she used an in-game loot box and the items inside were none other than a Pachimari plush, which every Overwatch fan would love to have.
The adorable photo sells holiday theme, as she even has Bastion’s Ganymede bird sitting on top of her head, as she joyously receives her Christmas present.
