For Hana specifically, some things I'd do if I was gonna make an account for her are...
1) Study up on South Korean culture. This'll give you a good idea of the background she's come from beyond what her Overwatch biography says.
2) Check out the eSports scene. She's a Starcraft pro specifically, but get a general feel for the scene itself. Study up on some gaming terms she might know.
3) From what I'm getting from her quotes, D.Va is a very bubbly, high spirited, happy girl. Make sure to keep in mind that she is only nineteen years old, being the youngest character of the Overwatch cast. She also has a decent sense of humor with quotes like "AFK" "Winkyface!" "D.Va one, bad guys zero." etc.
4) As some extra tidbits, keep in mind that she's a huge fan of Lúcio's and vice versa, so her favored style of music is most likely techno or what have you. She probably also owns his Synaesthesia Auditiva album.
5) As evidenced by her reaction to Widowmaker's "This is no place for children." quote ("Who are you calling a child?") you could branch this out. Maybe she wasn't taken seriously because of her age in the past? Maybe she feels like the cast don't take her seriously currently!
6) It's clear that she enjoys her status as a celebrity back home and enjoys being in the limelight. One such evidence of this is her quote "Now this is my kind of city! Lights, camera, action!" when playing on the Hollywood map.
7) The most fun part with a character like D.Va is that you can expand on her with headcanons. Don't make her entire characterization headcanon, just add some flavor to it! She's shown chewing bubblegum prominently in-game, so maybe she likes sweets? Those kinds of things.
All in all, if you use the kind of logic shown here for most characters you should be pretty well off. Some characters have more "canon" than others. (Soldier: 76, Winston, Tracer, maybe Widowmaker, and Reaper are the ones I'd list off the top of my head but people's opinions might vary.) I'm not the most knowledgeable on the characters, but D.Va was who I would've picked up if I didn't get attached to Jack firstly and that's what I would've done if I'd decided to play her. c:
Another thing that I've done (though this might be cause I'm a newbie here lol) is PM the mods of the game I was interested in and asked if they'd be okay with Overwatch characters (and if so, which ones) because to some they have enough canon but to others they might not.
I hope I've done what I can to help out, and I hope you have tons of fun playing whomever you want anon! :>
