Before taking up her current alias as Sombra - Olivia Colomar was among the many thousands of children who ended up orphaned as a result of the Omnic Crisis. Yet Olivia was a gifted child; at a rather young age - Her understanding of how to utilize computers and execute high levels of hacking was something that not only would save her but also lead her into being welcomed into the Los Muertos gang in which she found a home and begun taking on jobs that among many things; Included hacker attacks up on the government of Mexico which rapidly spiraled out of control and had Olivia descend into a tangled web filled with corruption and secrets which made one thing more clear than anything else - Knowledge is power.
After snooping around too much - Olivia was eventually found out and had to go into hiding. With help from the Los Muertos, she received a cybernetic graft and was "reborn" as Sombra. With her newfound alias and cybernetic improvements which allowed her to stay constantly on the move all the while executing her crafty hacker crafts; she became a force that many sought to both stop and hire. This all eventually led to Sombra getting involved with the criminal organization Talon where she to this day still works and along with this group; Have executed numerous actions which has led to more uproar around the world. One of her most recent actions which only solidified her intentions in life was when Sombra alongside Talon members Reaper and Widowmaker infiltrated Volskaya Industries in order to get a hold of Katya Volskaya. Yet once she had Katya in the palm of her hand, she instead struck a deal for her own benefits with her and let Katya go - Lying to her Talon companions about the end result of their infiltration.
As the Nexus lords called upon Sombra - It was utmost uncertain what their intentions was by bringing her to their realm. Some of the champions from the Nexus that hails from Earth speculates that perhaps Sombra somehow with her cybernetics and talents made her own way to the Nexus seen as how she knew that certain members of Overwatch had vanished recently. Having now found them in the Nexus and being part of an entire new world; Sombra readies up to see what information that can be extracted and abused within the Nexus.

Skin suggestions
Like most heroes from Overwatch - They pretty much already have their base skins prepared with additional base tints but still; For reference - This is Sombra's main appearance:
As for a secondary skin; I do like all of her Epic skins from Overwatch and all that jazz but would love if they could "Extend" some on her Rime skin. Usually they do make a second original skin for Hots but I just love the Rime skin and would love to have it in Hots - Mostly a more Red / Orange tinted version.
Base Rime for reference:
Other concepts & More
I will list here once more of my concepts is made. Some of these concepts may also look familiar but that is because I am also "Rexx" whom has posted some hero concepts on the EU and US side forums for Heroes of the Storm.
This Sombra Concept is a re-construction of my very first hero concept from back in 2016 which was of Sombra (Bragging rights; I made that first Sombra concept the same day she dropped on the PTR and I was the first one on Heroesfire to concept Sombra) But times have changed and so has Hots so I decided to go back and re-work some of my outdated concepts; beginning with the lady that started it all.
