== Biography ==
Sarah is Ethan's twin-sister and the second operator of the CMT's Covert-Squad. She's a very friendly and reserved person who can't see anyone suffer, whether if they deserve it or not. She's also wonderful friends with Henry, Diana, Veronica and Rose and gets along extremely well with her brother and his wife Lynn as well as his friends. How harmless she may seem at the first look, Sarah can actually turn into total killing-machine in combat when it comes to protecting others or her allies and friends.
Since she's Ethan's sister, she too had to live trough the same nightmares as him during her childhood. Only by sticking together and not letting each-other down, both made it out of Past Hills alive despite being seperated for some time. Like her brother, she recovered from the trauma as they've moved to their aunt and uncle in Bluelu to leave it all behind. She then had a fairly normal childhood in Bluelu and was part of one of her school's bands. That's also how she met her husband Scott, who had been a pianist while she herself had the role of a back-up singer and bass player. They've quickly became good friends and worked a lot together, eventually getting into a relationship later. 
Since a very young age Sarah had already became very interested in computing and even taught herself how to hack. After graduating, she joined her brother Ethan and signed up for the police. However, instead of becoming a regular officer, she had chosen the job of a police computer-scientist and analyst who worked in the offices. After a few years, she transferred to the Anti Drug Association (ADA), a special department in the police which was responsible to handle drug-related crime in Bluelu. She had also married Scott during that time. After managing to get more than 46 major arrest under her name, she had joined the Tatical Combat Unit (TCU). There, she underwent proper firearms training and took part in tons of dangerous operations including counter terrorism, hostage rescue scenarios and more. Sarah got injured a lot during her time in the TCU, but she always got back up and continued. 
When the war broke out, she wanted to join her brother on the battlefield but was given a job at the Hunlinian Border Control instead. Since the nation was at a serious state of war, it was either take or leave, so she accepted it.
When the war finally had come to an end, a bomb attack performed by Pretty Blood killed her and Ethan's aunt Holly and uncle Finn who were like replacement parents to them. Outraged by this event, her brother founded the CMT and offered Sarah to join in too since they've needed recruits. 
And besides, Sarah is experienced and his sister after all! 
== Squad abilities ==
File:Trait Hacker.png|Hacker: Due to her knowledge and training, Sarah is able to break into all sorts of devices and connections, capable of hijacking them.
File:SA Sarah.png|Seeker: All the years in the TCU have made Sarah develop an additional sense for detecting traps it seems. Whenever close to one, whether it be a door rigged to explode or something else, Sarah will feel unease and fear building up inside of her as a warning signal.
== Trivia ==
* In Chapter 1, Sarah used an MP5SD with a light blueish tint as her primary firearm, alongside a suppressed G19 as her sidearm. However, when working on Chapter 2, Echo Whiskey decided to scrap real-world firearms entirely, opting for fictional weaponry instead. Due to that, Sarah now uses an MP6 by manufacturer Decker & Pfichter, specifically, a custom-made "MP6SD" variant by LeadWolf, with a blueish tint. She refers to the weapon as "BruteForce" 
** Additional equipment of hers include experiemental EMP grenades for taking out hostile electronics, and a bag of tools which are needed for digital data extraction. She also has an unusual device with her which she had built by herself, calling it "frequency cracker". It is able to break into most lines of connections, serving as a viable gadget for strategic planning when it comes to scouting, or taking out the enemies' communications.
* Before Echo Whiskey decided to bring the idea of a series to life, Sarah's story was completely different.
** She was supposed to have lost contact with her brother Ethan after the two got seperated during the events in Past Hills. Ethan would have then believed her to be dead and would grow up without her. The two would only learn about the other's well being during the Great Continental War, where the two out of coincidence managed to meet as both soldiers of the Hunlinian Royal Army and happily renunite during the liberation of Texocania's capital city, Ligero. This idea got scrapped, as having the Winters siblings growing up together would strenghten their cohesion and trust in each other.
*** An alternative idea was to have Sarah working for Pretty Blood, where she would lead a squad of combatants, while she still bitterly believed that her brother would be dead. This concept quickly got scrapped due to being in Pretty Blood wouldn't really make any sense for Sarah.
