Overwatch cosplayer goes viral as rebellious gunslinger Ashe Blizzard \/ Instagram: @sarahjaneafkSarah Jane is a Twitch streamer by trade, but she burst onto the cosplay scene with an explosive take on Ashe from Overwatch, and it\u2019s been so well-received, it\u2019s given her the confidence to do more down the track. Overwatch cosplayers love having a crack at transforming into their favorite heroes. In recent months, we\u2019ve seen everything from Beekeeper Mei to Pale Serpent Widowmaker and more. It\u2019s been a while since somebody made a splash on the internet as Ashe, which is odd since she\u2019s a popular choice both in-game and in terms of cosplays. But that\u2019s changed now thanks to Twitch star Sarah Jane, whose first-ever cosplay turned out to be a gem; it\u2019s taking the Overwatch fandom by storm. In an exclusive interview with Dexerto, Sarah explained what motivated her to do it. \u201cOverwatch is my main content focus, and I\u2019ve always had a huge love for the Overwatch hero designs,\u201d she said. \u201cI got my community to vote for which hero I should cosplay, and they chose Ashe. When I do play DPS, I either usually lean towards playing Ashe or McCree, so it was a good fit!\u201d After getting all the bits and pieces together, Sarah posted the cosplay on Reddit. It went on to rack up 10,000 upvotes and drew hundreds of comments in which people described it as \u201cbeautiful, on-point, and stunning.\u201d She nailed everything from the hair and make-up to the hat, gloves, and costume. The only thing missing is the gun and, of course, Bob, Ashe\u2019s omnic bodyguard. But given how difficult those are to pull off, nobody held it against her. \u201cI did NOT expect this much positive reception at all,\u201d she said. In fact, she admitted it nearly didn\u2019t happen: \u201cI was close to not going ahead with it because I honestly didn\u2019t feel comfortable about doing cosplay on stream.\u201d Thankfully, she went ahead with it because it turned out great. Sarah also revealed that she\u2019d be \u201chappy\u201d to give other cosplays a crack in the future. As for what they could be, well, she\u2019s got her heart set on Ana from Overwatch and Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII.
