 * Sweet jumps higher and has better movement control while in the air than other characters.

=Biography= Imagine Skye as a 19-year old and you're looking at Sweet. Except remove the bad attitude of Skye and replace it with an equal amount of over the top cuteness. Sweet Autumn is oddly creative when it comes to renewing her own appearance and it's not uncommon to find her sneakily tagging other peoples gear with random doodles. Her appearance and behaviour makes it easy to dismiss her as a naïve and harmless girl but then again she is the younger sister of Skye.

Sweet has a fondness of all things that go boom. Loud, flashy and heavy is her way of dealing with Lumes. She rushes into any battle without hesitation and makes sure to have a damn good time while she's at it.

Equipped with her brutal REX and a sturdy exo-skeleton she's ready to withstand heavy recoils and wild leaps through the air. It's not uncommon to see her bouncing around the battlefield like a kid in the middle of a sugar-rush. She might seem careless and easily distracted, and that's exactly what she is. She's still killing off Lumes as if she was custom built for the job.

"The idea of Sweet Autumn was being tossed around long before we even knew if there was going to be a Sanctum 2. There are hints of her existance in the first game and there was a clear vision of who she was before the design was made. As a concept artist I think it's kind of rare to get an assignment where you get a chance to design a character that is so close to your own personal taste. I felt like a happy kid in a candy shop while doodling different sweet designs. Her style is a combination of Harajuku street fasion, functional snowboard gear all mixed up with the armor tech of Elysion One. Because of her speedy and childish personality it was natural to have her modify and customize the Core Guardian uniform to make it less boring and more personal. I experimented with other colour variations on her jumpsuit but we ended up deciding to keep the turquoise and black suit closest to the body and add other colours on top of that. She's tied her own orange overalls around her hips, painted graffiti all over her exo skeleton and glove. There are some crazy cute stickers on there too. Her hair is streaked in pink and blue but that's probably temporary since Sweet is the kind of girl who changes her looks according to her moods. We wanted to make Sweet look sweet of course but it's been really important to us that her sweetness isn't her main feature as a character. All that bubblegum cuteness is what might strike you at first glance but there is more to her than that. You'll just have to dig through the game to figure her out. Haah, I bet you're all curious now, aren't ya!"

=Gameplay Notes=
 * When equipped with a Drone Launcher as a secondary weapon and with a Tactical Juxtaposition perk, Sweet can destroy a Soaker in several seconds, regardless of the amount of the Soaker's health, even if it's tens of millions or even more.
