As stated earlier, Symmetra is another main and important character in Overwatch 2, who is considered to be a perfectionist. She also attended the Vishkar Academy and has been loyal towards them.

During this time, he came across how the world needed his help, and he used the high-tech technological knowledge that he had and fused them with living plants. This created a healing aura and made living conditions better. Numerous fans commented on the video stating they would love to watch an interaction between Lifeweaver and Symmetra, due to their differences in ideologies and thinking.
