The fourth English Vocaloid, the first Vocaloid released by PowerFX, and the first Vocaloid released for the Vocaloid2 engine,<ref>although not in Japan, where Miku was first</ref> Sweet Ann is voiced by an Australian singer under the stage name of "Jody".
 
[[Fanon]] portrays her as an elegant woman. She isoriginally used to oftenbe made fun of for the stitches on her neck (PowerFX is fond of making "monster" Vocaloids) and the fact that the lighting on her boxart makes her look like she got a bad fake tan, but these memes have mostly fallen to the wayside these days in favour of more flattering depictions.
 
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]: More obvious with her E-capsule design, while her original is more of a green with a blue tint.
* [[Darkskinned Blonde]]: And often depicted with [[Princess Curls]].
* [[MamaBear]]: Canonically very protective of Oliver (well, if you consider Oliver's Twitter to be canon in the first place, at least).
* [[Nice Hat]]: A nice,snazzy white cowboy hat in her E-capsule design.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: The ''Madness of Duke Venomania'' PV says she's 62. [[Subverted Trope|Canonically (at least in the Taiwan version), she's 23.]]
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Even in Taiwan, Sweet Ann can not't escape being portrayed as a blond-haired blue eyed American cowgirl by some means. This continues despite the fact thatwhen her origins are actually Swedish.
* [[Punny Name]]: Sweet Ann = Sweden.
* [[Shout-Out]]: She's the [[Bride of Frankenstein|bride]] to Big Al's [[Frankenstein's Monster|monster]].
* [[Steampunk]]: E-capsule Sweet Ann givesmight give off this impression to viewersa few people.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Her design being based off 1930s actress and jazz singer [https://web.archive.org/web/20150801202326/http://lena-horne.com/ Lena Horne] helps, although it adds some [[Unfortunate Implications]], given that Horne [[Race Lift|was black]].
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: [[Unfortunate Implications|Chicken drumstick]].
