Valla is a Demon Hunter.
Biography
As with most Demon Hunters, Valla came from a village attacked and destroyed by demons. Of the whole family, only Valla and Halissa survived. Halissa, traumatized by the events, drowned after waking up from a nightmare, running off and slipping, with Valla failing to pull her out.
Later, Valla became a Demon Hunter in training, proceeding to exterminate the hellspawn under Josen's guidance. Her memories and guilt for not saving neither Halissa nor other family members were used against her by Valdraxxis, a lesser demon of Terror, yet she managed to overcome and banish him. This event become a completion of her training, after which Valla left for Tristram.[3]
Valla became one of the deadliest Demon Hunters in history, but mysteriously disappeared one night, although her body has never been found. Some claim that she continues her fighting in another world. Her weapon, however, was left behind.[4]
Valla participated in the Siege of Bastion's Keep, backed up by a Wizard.[5]

Valla's concept art
Valla can be considered to be a canonical portrayal of the Demon Hunter class, though name and gender are still at the player's discretion.
Valla's Bequest, a legendary Hand Crossbow, is named after her, and Fortress Ballista was used by her in combat.

Valla as portrayed in HotS
Valla is the assigned name of the Demon Hunter in Heroes of the Storm.[1] Players who pre-ordered Reaper of Souls are granted automatic access to her in the game.[6]
In game, she retains Rain of Vengeance, Strafe, Hungering Arrow, Multishot and Vault skills. She also has Hatred as her passive trait. Unlike Diablo III heroes, she can use Vault while channeling Strafe.
Her armor seems very similar to the Leather Hood and respective armor tier, but considerably more complete, reinforced, and with custom red paint.
