Discussion about the appearance of the character conceptualised as "Echo".

Hey everyone, so like all of you I got extremely worked up about this short. I did some thinking; This hero originally shows up in the Overwatch concept art as "Echo", thought its safe to assume this character will become known as what we already know to be "God programs". With this in mind it would be fairly strange for Blizzard to veer away from their already defined theme of Gods (So far Egyptian and Greek). Now let me begin, I will refer to "Echo" as 'the robot' and use female pronouns (given the voice actor was a woman, don't get mad at me left wing...).
When we first see the robot we are able to see a full view of her head, this means we can see what logo she has on top of her head. This has changed. In concept it was the same logo as Athena, but its now ever so slightly different This means that this is a DIFFERENT God program, and that the "Athena symbol" might just be a generalised symbol for God programs, if you look closely on Anubis too, the vault gives off a similar shape (if you look closely). Honestly, if god programs run with the Greek God theme, its probably called Ares, Aphrodite or Artemis - assuming its a female character of course ~ the voice actor was female.

I would also like to quickly point out how the fact that this character was pretty much conceptualized since the first poster of overwatch we saw back in 2014 means that blizzard are planning stupidly far into the future as far as lore, character development and the game in general.

Continuing, the robot probably got sealed away following the Omnic crisis or disbanding of Overwatch as the public were scared, but probably preceding that because she had no knowledge of what happened to mcrees arm, which we can assume happened during the Omnic crisis (but not before as part as blackwatch, since he still has it during both uprising and Rialto), which begs the questions ~ why was she sealed away.
As far as who she is and who she may become, I personally think this will be either Artemis or Aphrodite; but mainly Artemis, because its the Greek God of the moon the hunt and the maidens, and she is often depicted as being of a white accent with a silver and white dress and silver features like eyes and nails. We can take this a step further by assuming that Artemis was considered a kind god - meaning she would be on the GOOD side and that she was a hunter. both of these effectively suggest that she will be a *DEFENCE HERO* (or a support, but less likely). I would also like to refer back to the symbol on her head, Athena's is a two part symbol that looks like an A, this robots is a three part symbol also resembling a 'sort or' A - if you dont know this could represent the qualities of each program, for example, Athena is the Greek god of War and Wisdom (two qualities), while Artemis is the Greek God of the Moon, the Hunting and the Maidens (three qualities).
Obviously this is a pretty bad theory, but I'd like to hear/read your thoughts, any contributions, any theories of your own (or even corrections), etc.

Thanks for reading ^-^,
