Thar be long text below!
Spoiler:
Entrant's Name: Carly
Entrant's Website: Purplepoctopus.tumblr.com
Character's Name: Maxine "Max" Driver
Age: 18/21
Occupation: Themis Legal Academy student: Prosecutor course, intern at Prosecutor's Office/Prosecutor
Brief Physical Description: Max is on the shorter side at five feet tall. She has curly black hair and green eyes, with a medium curvy build. 18 year old student Max wears her Themis uniform plus a pair of golf shoes and a red headband. When she becomes a prosecutor at 21, she prefers golf attire in a palette of greens.

Likes to spin her club around, and when startled will pull on the bottom of her curls until they spring back and hit her in the face.

Brief Personality Description: ENFJ personality type, and is a demiromantic bisexual.

Max is very go-go-go, but also set in her ways. Her desk is always a mess, and cleaning it ends up driving her crazy because then her system (or lack thereof) is disturbed. She is very firm in her beliefs about criminal justice, especially when she first started as an intern at the prosecutor's office. It took her a while to learn the true role of the prosecutor in the legal system, and to adapt to that change.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Was an intern at the LA prosecutor's office, then gets a job there. Coworkers with all the Ace Attorney prosecutors, but isn't particularly close with any of them.


Brief Background: Maxine "Max" Driver grew up in a lower-middle class family. Both of her parents worked and she spent a lot of time on her schoolwork. When she was young, a friend of hers was murdered in a string of serial killings around the city of LA. Everyone knew who the culprit was, but he was found not guilty due to some evidence that the lead detective found without a warrant. Because her friend was never avenged, Max grew up wanting to fix the court system by becoming a prosecutor. For years she resented the lead detective on the case, Rhiannon Coleman.

When it was time for Max to enter high school, she applied to Themis Legal Academy and got in. However, the tuition was fairly high, and she almost wasn't able to go. After quite a bit of blood, sweat, tears, and an essay writing contest sponsored by the local paper, she was able to get a scholarship to the academy. Throughout her years there, she studied often, shirking making friends off in favor of her grades.

Her senior year she was offered an internship at the prosecutor's office, and she would go after school. Even though Max was a glorified coffee-bearer, she enjoyed the position and learned a lot from the prosecutors there.

She passed the bar exam and got her badge at the age of 21, and was offered a position at the LA prosecutor's office where she had once interned. For her first case, she was surprised and angered to find that she was paired with the detective that had fueled her fire for all those years: Rhiannon Coleman. Eventually she comes to accept and appreciate her companion, but only after many trials and tribulations.

She is a huge fan of the Gavinners, and keeps a poster of the band on her wall in her bedroom. Despite this, she never treats prosecutor Gavin any differently.

She is an avid golfer, and often brings her love of the sport into the courtroom. Max is seldom seen without a club in hand, and her attire is usually golf-inspired.

Entrant's Name: Carly
Entrant's Website: Purplepoctopus.tumblr.com

Character's Name: Rhiannon Coleman (Sometimes Ann, only called Rhi by close friends)

Age: 33

Occupation: Homicide Detective

Brief Physical Description: 5'6" with brassy blonde hair and blue eyes. Known for having the "best chest in criminal affairs."

Brief Personality Description: As an ISTP personality type, Rhiannon is quiet but calculating, and is quick to react to situations. If she thinks something is going to happen, she won't hesitate to act. This impulsiveness gets her into many sticky situations, including one that caused a serial killer to walk free. She has trouble expressing her emotions and is rather stoic. She has a strong smoking habit and will smoke at least two packs a day, especially if at a crime scene.


Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Works at the department of criminal affairs under Badd, coworkers with Gumshoe, Fulbright, Skye, etc. Is constantly annoyed by officer Meekins, and often clashes with Ema, as she prefers to think before reacting, and Rhiannon is the opposite.


Brief Background: Rhi was born and raised in Alabama. Growing up she always wanted to be a detective, like the ones on TV. She went to UCLA and majored in Criminal Justice, graduating near the top of her class.

Her first case as a detective involved a serial killer and a string of missing children, which deeply upset her. During a visit to the main suspect's house, she uncovered some evidence to use as a trump card for the prosecution. However, the defense attorney at the trial declared it invalid, since she did not obtain it with a warrant. That case shook her deep to the core, causing her to take up smoking.

When her normal prosecutor retired, she was assigned to Max Driver, a newbie prosecutor with a lot of ideas but not a lot of action. At first she's irritated with the girl, especially with reporting to someone much younger than her, but eventually they warm up to each other and start getting along as a crime-fighting dream team.

She has a steady boyfriend named Todd, but doesn't seem to like him much. She does care about him, it's just hard for her to show it.

Spoiler:
Entrant's Name: EmeraldKaruma
Entrant's Website: http://emeraldkaruma.deviantart.com
Character's Name: Freidel von Karma/ Mariko Karuma
Age: 29 (JFA)
Occupation: prosecutor
Brief Physical Description: Freidel von Karma is 168 cm tall and wears a royal blue dress with a black corset in the middle. She put's on red lipstick and wears black cross earrings. Her hair is slightly darker than Franziska, it is also longer. Freidel has two moles one smaller than the other next to her left eye.
Brief Personality Description: while Freidel might not be as ruthless and aggressive as other members of the von Karma family she is still a very passionate person and her beliefs are hard to shake. She will sometimes plunge into deep speeches about what she believes is morally right and wrong during court which can sometimes hurt her case. She does not believe perfection can be achieved through never loosing. Instead she believes that it can be achieved by acknowledging those losses and not repeat the mistake you made in the future. She is extremely loyal to those she is close to and protects them fiercely. Edgeworth has told her many times that she would work a lot better as a defence attorney however Freidel is quick to refute this by replying that she could not handle the pressure of getting her client acquitted and that by being the prosecutor she is still defending arguably the most important person in any case: the victim.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Freidel is the older sister of Franziska von Karma and the eldest daughter of Manfred von karma. She is also a long-time friend of Miles Edgeworth. Former lover of Clemens Faust (my other oc)
Brief Background: Manfred von Karma's expectations were placed on Freidel from an incredibly young age. She was sent to a private school that was actually founded by a von Karma a few generations before Manfred. The school focused on areas in subjects that would be beneficial in the legal profession specifically such as focusing on persuasive writing and how to form an argument in English and measurement in Math. There were also 'trials' after school where someone would play the judge, another would play the prosecution and the last a defence attorney. (A lot like the make-up trials in Themis Legal academy.) In 5th grade, Freidel started failing in school and loosing in a lot of trials. This made Manfred more than a little concerned and soon after that Franziska was born. Freidel figured out quite quickly and easily that Franziska was a replacement of her and watched Franziska grow up almost like a clone of her. Freidel tried to give Franziska more of a reason to live than to live up to Manfred's expectations and a better childhood however she soon learned that her efforts were futile. Freidel left the von Karma residence when she was seventeen to begin a prosecutor career that was going to ultimately fail according to everyone around her in which she started to believe. She lost trial after trial after trial until she finally won against a defence attorney by the name of Clemens Fuast. Clemens promised Freidel he would win against her the next time they met in court. Freidel told him if he could that she would go out for lunch with him. The next time they met in court Clemens was a lot more experienced and was able to win against Freidel. Freidel decided to keep her end of the bargain to go out for lunch which eventually led to several more meet ups and Clemens and Freidel falling in love. When Freidel was twenty-one, they found out that she was pregnant with Clemens's child. Freidel and Clemens started to make plans on getting married when they found this out. When Freidel broke this news to Manfred however, he was furious and almost physically harmed Freidel. After that incident Clemens and Freidel split up. And even though they both promised each other to keep in touch, they haven't spoken since.

And here's Clemens:

Entrant's Name: EmeraldKaruma
Entrant's website: http://emeraldkaruma.deviantart.com
Character's Name: Clemens Faust/Akihiko Kobayashi
Age: 30 (JFA)
Occupation: defense attorney
Brief Physical Description: Clemens Faust is 175 cm tall and has blond hair an blue eyes. He wears a dark green suit with gold buttons.
Brief Personality Description: if there were ever a 'class clown' for the court Clemens would be it. He's always making jokes, light on a very serious situations, or mimicking the witnesses and their behaviours. He's humour is often sarcastic and he may come across as disrespectful and inappropriate sometimes, however if you are able to get him into a serious mood, it will be hard to return him to his normal, jokester self.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): he is acquainted with Franziska von Karma and Miles Edgeworth however he does not know them extremely well. Former lover of Freidel von Karma (my other oc.)
Brief Background: Clemens grew up in Germany as an only child with his single mother. His life was very average and nothing special until he found out that his mother had breast cancer. He got a part time job and worked hard to earn money to support his mother since she had only been given a few years to live. When he got home he would often tell jokes to his mother and try to make het laugh and smile as much as possible to give her a reason to be alive. When Clemens was seventeen, his aunt was accused of murdering the city's mayor. The case was a big deal of course and it only added to Clemens's mother's stress. His mother told him how much she wished she could help however was unable to. At this point in time, Clemens's mother was very frail and was not expected to live much longer and finally, she died. Clemens remembered what his mother had told him about what she wished she could do and decided to avenge that by becoming a defence attorney. Thanks to a friend in school, he was able to get his degree reasonably early at twenty years old and met a prosecutor named Freidel von karma at his first trial. Clemens lost to Freidel and swore he would win the next time. Freidel made a dare saying that if he could beat her she'd go out for lunch with him. The next time they met, Clemens was a lot more experienced and did in fact win and Freidel decided to keep her end of the bargain. Going out to lunch led to several more meet ups, Freidel and Clemens falling in love, and Freidel becoming pregnant. A few months later, Clemens found out that Freidel was almost beaten by her father because he disproved of their relationship. This caused a lot if arguments and eventually, Clemens and Freidel went their separate ways.

Here's mine!
Any issues or conflicts with the rules, please let me know.

P.S. Sorry for all the edits, I keep thinking of more info to add to the characters ^^'

Spoiler: OC #1
Entrant's name: Cardiovore
Entrant's website: http://www.tremere91.deviantart.com

Character's name: April Mitnick
Age: 18 (Dual Destinies era)
Occupation: Freelance hacker

Brief physical description: A late-teen girl with purple hair with bright blue fluorescent highlights on her fringe and ponytail. She wears a greyish-blue hooded jacket (sleeves rolled up) over a long pink-and-black striped top (frayed at the bottom) and grey circuit-patterned leggings. Her jacket has neon blue lining on the lapels and circuit patterns on the sleeves and hood. Being the rebellious type, she wears spike-soled punk boots, a spiked bracelet and a spiky-knuckled fingerless glove. Some sort of device is strapped to her lower right arm, wired to a black glove with neon blue circuit patterns. She wears glasses and bright blue fluorescent lipstick.

Brief personality description: April is hyperactive and frazzled from long periods of staring at screens, obsessive hacking, compulsive multitasking, sleep deprivation and being in the same room almost constantly. She is quick-tempered and an overall angry person. Her hypervigilant brain causes her to catastrophise the littlest of things. She is antisocial and solitary, very much preferring to deal with people (when she HAS to) via her computer or phone, or from behind her bedroom door. Being the stubborn rebel she is, she does things her way and will not take direct orders from anyone (even her clients). She will even stubbornly refuse orders that she herself wants to follow through, simply because somebody else told her to. Her frazzled, overactive mind is reflected in her speech patterns, from starting new sentences before she finishes her current ones to ending them prematurely. Has a loud, animated and shrill way of speaking. Refers to everybody as "dude". Gets VERY exasperated when people don't understand her technobabble. Tends to make jokes and remarks that break a fourth wall that isn't there (which ironically, because Ace Attorney is a game, there IS). Gets a real kick out of strewing anarchy and mischief with her hacking, especially when it's against "the system".
She acts cocky and mischievous from behind a screen but actually has crushing self-esteem issues, a major factor in why she never shows herself in person (besides the fact that she's, y'know, a cybercriminal). She's able to dish out mischief and insults, but is completely incapable of receiving it back.

Background: April was bullied at school due to her social issues, resulting in her dropping out at the age of 16. Then one day she turned to hacking and computer tinkering as hobbies to escape the maddening boredom of home and life as an only child, and a very misanthropic and antisocial one at that. These hobbies quickly turned into an obsession and two years later she became a very skilled hacker and tech specialist, knowing computers and other technological devices inside and out. Based on the philosophy of "if you're good at something, never do it for free" (she heard it from a movie I think...), she offered her skills to anybody who needed this network infiltrated or that virus planted. Why? Because it gave her overactive mind something to do. And it paid too, which is a plus because she could never be bothered to look for a job. But there's one problem -- her parents, especially her father Norman. April's parents are a pleasant and naive couple who are always wondering what their daughter does in her room ever since she dropped out of school. They also wonder where she is getting all her money from and why she almost never leaves her room. They often try to gain access to her room while she is in the middle of business deals, much to her irritation and embarrassment. Parents, right?
At some point during the Dual Destinies era, April was hired by an an unknown person to aid them in a cybercrime/cyber-related crime. As such, she is called into the courtroom and is quizzed about her anonymous client. Since she never shows herself in person, she hacks a large television and requests it to be wheeled into court. She testifies via a live feed through the TV, where she is shown through her webcam to be in her room.

Trivia
- Her surname derives from the famous hacker Kevin Mitnick.
- April never shows herself in person to anyone. Instead she displays herself on almost any screen she wishes to be seen on or speak through.
- She is addicted to high-sugar drinks, a can of which she always has on hand.
- The darkness around her eyes isn't eyeshadow...
- The neon lining on her outfit seems to change colour depending on her current mood. How or why exactly this happens is unknown. It may have something to do with either the device on her arm or the similar-looking device in the background.
- During her court "appearance", April performs a number of actions out of boredom, amusement or frustration that bewilder or annoy the members of the court. Such as:
* Hacking the courtroom's cameras and having each character's live feed displayed in popup windows on her computer.
* Taking a "screenshot" of somebody in the court and digitally defacing their picture. And then displaying it whenever that particular person annoys her.
* Recording somebody's statement and repeatedly playing it back, either to remind that person of what they've said or simply to irritate them. Likes making remixes out of them.
* Playing loud heavy metal music through the TV.

Character's name: Norman Mitnick
Age: 44 (Dual Destinies era)
Occupation: Aspiring golfer

Brief physical description: A middle-aged man with tanned skin and brown hair with greying temples. Sports a round pair of thick glasses. Has very white teeth. Wears a pinkish-red shirt under a gold diamond-checkered vest, with green tartan golf slacks and white golfing shoes. Sports a white golfing glove on his left hand with a gold watch on the same wrist, which vaguely mirror the items worn by April on her left arm. His prized golf club is carried on his back.

Brief personality description: Very pleasant, mild-mannered and good-natured in an old-fashioned "golly gosh" kind of way. Very naive and optimistic to a fault. Norman is also completely oblivious to his daughter's devious doings, however he is still very curious as to what she does in her room all day. Even when he is informed by the court of April's cybercrimes, he dismisses it as "kids these days and their crazy gadgets!" He is also oblivious to April's obnoxious behaviour, even when it is directed at him, which it very often is. He loves her dearly and is very proud of her, perhaps blindly so, and unknowingly embarrasses her on a regular basis by showing everybody he meets baby pictures, past school achievements (however minor) and other embarrassing stuff like that. Despite his overall demeanour, however, he is not above scolding his daughter when she gets too much. But nicely, of course (saying things like "Don't make me ask you nicely again, young lady!" and "I could wag my finger at you all day, you know!"). He is in the habit of describing even the most mundane of things down to every bland, insignificant detail. He is also something of a technophobe, not knowing a "cellular telephone" from a "Play-system 7".

Background: Norman is the quintessential good-natured, old-fashioned father. He has an ambitious dream of a career in golf, a wife, a daughter, and his hobbies, and he couldn't be happier. Always being behind the times and refusing to adapt to the modern times, he is purposefully ignorant and dismissive of technology, knowing only how to work a TV and house phone. In his spare time, Norman enjoys a read of the paper, smoking his pipe, drinking tea, gardening, and, most of all, indulging in a spot of golf. The latter has always been a passion of his and he hopes one day to become a professional golfer.
He wishes he could spend more time with his daughter, however she's always locked away in her room. Perhaps she's just job-hunting on the "world wide net" that the kids are using these days, that must be it. That must also be why the Mitnick household has been rolling in a large amount of income lately, almost abnormally so. She's a treasure, our April!
However, when he hears that April is to "appear" in court and testify about involvement in a crime, he storms down there himself to assure everybody that she is just a normal, innocent girl. Which embarrasses and infuriates his daughter greatly.

Trivia
- The colour of Norman's vest is a negative/inverted version of April's jacket.
- As mentioned in the personality section, Norman's appearance vaguely mirrors April's, with "mundane" counterparts to several aspects of her outfit (what they wear on their left arms, the glasses, the different colour in the hair, the rolled-up sleeves).

YEAH LET'S DO THIS
Spoiler:
Entrant's Name: Panoodles

Character's Name: Penelope Whistle

Age: 22

Occupation: Prosecutor

Brief Physical Description: Penelope is a little taller than the average height, but she's kind of frail and wispy. Her hair is medium length and light blonde, and she dyed part of her bangs blue. Her right arm is missing, so all the right sleeves of her shirts are sewed shut (by her mom). Penelope is actually normally right handed, but since she lost her right arm she has had terrible handwriting. She is usually seen wearing a white button-up long sleeved shirt, a blue tie, an orange broach, dark blue suspenders, freshly creased dark blue shorts, white stockings, and dark blue flats.

Brief Personality Description: Penelope is extremely shy and submissive, and she might have a strong case of terrible luck. Basically, the only thing she’s got going for her is her good grades in law school. Despite her timid personality, she works hard to make sure the bad guys end up in jail (due to her childhood fantasy of becoming a superhero). She gets stressed out really easily, but is a very intent listener.

Connection to canon characters: Penelope’s first real case in court was against Phoenix Wright (who had just recently gotten his badge back). She didn’t get a guilty verdict, but she learned a lot during the trial. A few months later, Penelope found herself as the main suspect in a murder case and in need of a defense attorney. Her friend Stephan Effelhart convinced her to ask Phoenix to defend her in court. Phoenix agreed to do so and successfully defended her (but not without a few hiccups along the way, of course).

Brief background: Formerly Pip Whistle, Penelope decided to switch genders when she was young. She loved superheroes and decided that one day she would be able to put the bad guys in jail too. As she was studying to become a prosecutor, she met a man named Vincent Effelhart who was willing to be her mentor. She studied under Prosecutor Effelhart (sometimes accompanied by Stephan) until one day when she found him dead in his office. Soon after, an accident occurred where she lost her right arm. From then on Penelope and Stephan worked together to solve cases.


Character's Name: Stephan Effelhart

Age: 23

Occupation: Detective

Brief Physical Description: Stephan is a little taller than Penelope. He has short black hair, and, while his eyes are normally dark brown, one eye has been closed over by burns and the other is a pale color and can only see movement and blurry colors (he can only identify people by their voice). He usually wears an orange toggle coat, an eye patch over his right eye, brown pants, and orange boots. He generally has his hands in his pockets and has a brooding demeanor.

Brief Personality Description: Generally quiet and serious, he would usually open his mouth only to make a sarcastic remark. He usually stays silent so that he can hear everything (because his eyes aren’t good anymore), but he makes conversation easily. Despite his regular sarcasm, he doesn’t take jokes very well.

Connection to canon characters: Detective Effelhart helps Penelope in all of her trials, including the one she had against Phoenix Wright. Stephan was also a witness in the trial where Penelope was suspected to be the murderer (defended by Phoenix).

Brief Background: Since he was young, Stephan has been fascinated by his uncle’s work in the prosecutor’s office. As he grew up, he decided to become a detective and work with his uncle. He would often hang out in Vincent Effelhart’s office (along with Penelope) up until the day he found his uncle dead in that very same room. Soon after that, an accident occurred where he burned his right eye and lost most of his vision in his left eye. Since then, he decided to work with Penelope in court.


Character's Name: Vincent Effelhart -- Deceased

Age: 46

Occupation: Prosecutor/Mentor/Skeleton

Brief Physical Description: Prosecutor Effelhart was a tall and well-built man. He had close shaved black hair, a well-trimmed beard, and dark brown eyes. He often liked to wear light-colored suits and various hats.

Brief Personality Description: Vincent was very boisterous and very loud, which sometimes got on the nerves of people in the same room as him. While he usually liked to tease people and was a generally cheery person, he was known for his serious side in court. He couldn’t stand the thought of a criminal walking loose on the streets, and therefore took his job as a prosecutor very seriously. Otherwise, he was usually nice to everyone he met and loved to give pep talks to those who were feeling down.

Brief Background: Vincent Effelhart’s family was originally very poor, but once he became famous for prosecuting he was able to spend money a little more freely. Because of this, he was able to pay for Stephan’s education as a detective. One day he met Penelope Whistle during a tour at her academy, and he decided to help this wimpy kid become a great prosecutor. He took her in as an apprentice and worked with her and Stephan until he died a few years later.

She believes that cases should be built strictly on facts and evidence and not gut feelings. Jenny gets very excited and sometimes yells to loud. Jenny doesn’t like showing weakness, and she believes that showing affection or care shows weakness. She has a hard time getting along with people because of her snarky remarks. Also, Jenny is overprotective of her little sister, Stacy. Jenny is dedicated to her job but hates being criticized.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Jenny has helped Phoenix, Apollo, and Athena in some of their cases. Jenny respects Phoenix and Miles Edgeworth because she is aware of their accomplishments in the legal world. She worked with Fulbright on a few cases but couldn’t stand how “unprofessional” he acts. Also knows Blackquill from testifying in court. Jenny is acquainted with the witnesses from The Monstrous Turnabout through Turnabout for Tomorrow.

Brief Background: Jenny has one younger sister named Stacy. Jenny would stand up for Stacy when people were mean to her as children. Also, Jenny and Stacy’s parents were always having fights, so Jenny would always comfort Stacy. However, Jenny doesn’t like to express her affection or care to her little sister in any verbal manner. Jenny’s parents were surgeons, and Jenny became interested in science and medicine. However, Jenny’s parents failed an emergency operation on a young man who was the victim of a shooting. It changed the family dynamics of a normal family, to an uptight and serious one. The Rhodes family had watched the court trial and Jenny was inspired by the forensic scientists testifying. Jenny decided to not become a surgeon but to become a forensic scientist. Also, Jenny’s tempers started to flare after the incident and she developed a sharp tongue because she was under too much pressure. She felt like she was pushed over the edge in school, clubs, and any activity she did. Jenny graduated college and has been working as a forensic scientist for 3 years. Whenever Jenny meets someone new at work, she tells them not to mess with or hurt Stacy or they’ll regret it.
Jenny first met Apollo and Athena in The Monstrous Turnabout where she had to work with Fulbright. She quickly became skeptical to Athena’s widget and Apollo’s bracelet. Jenny thought the whole Tenma Taro case seemed impossible, but she was impressed on how Apollo unraveled the case. Of course, she acted like Apollo was mediocre. She saw them again and formally met Phoenix in Turnabout Academy. Jenny expressed respect and admiration for Phoenix which surprised Apollo and Athena.
Jenny decided to extend more of a willing helping hand in the Cosmic Turnabout when she saw how Wright Law Office drifted. Jenny worked hard to find solid evidence for the case. However, she didn’t excuse Apollo’s behavior and how he caused trouble. Jenny told Apollo that he worried Phoenix, Athena, and Stacy (and herself but didn’t tell him).

QueenChunLi

Character's Name: Stacy Rhodes

Age: 23 (Dual Destinies Arc) 

Occupation: Detective

Brief Physical Description: Stacy has wavy brown hair and has round brown eyes. Stacy also wears a pink headband. She wears a jumper with a Blue Badger Badge and a belt around her waist. Stacy also carries around a parasol with the blue badger on it. Stacy wears her favorite pair of sneakers with wings on it because she likes how comfortable they are for field work and how “cute” they are. 

Brief Personality Description: Stacy is a very positive and optimistic girl. She gets distracted easily but is very loyal and loving. This can cause her to be illogical and unrealistic in her ideas. Stacy is childish and enthusiastic, which makes her appear ditzy. She is smarter than she appears, but often lets emotion cloud her judgement. Stacy really cares for her friends and co-workers and tries to help everyone, even if she knows nothing about the situation or problem. Stacy is fairly resilient whenever something goes wrong whereas Jenny gets wrapped up in it.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Stacy works with and admires Fulbright (and her sister Jenny, OC #1). She is good friends with Phoenix, Apollo, and Athena and has worked with Blackquill. She knows the witnesses from Turnabout Academy, The Cosmic Turnabout/Turnabout for Tomorrow. 

Brief Background: Stacy has admired her older sister, Jenny, since they were young children. When Jenny and Stacy were young, Stacy would be picked on by the other schoolchildren. However, Jenny would stand up to the bullies and even get into fights with them. Stacy always thought about how cool and strong Jenny wanted to be like her. Stacy was always optimistic and loved joking around until her parents were involved in an emergency operation where a man who was shot couldn’t be saved. Jenny and Stacy’s parents became strict. Stacy saw Jenny change into a snappy girl, but just accepted her and still loved her. Stacy wasn’t the smartest in school and had mediocre grades, and her parents were often disappointed with her due to her lack of natural intelligence. She was scolded for not taking school too seriously as well. Stacy often saw Jenny frazzled and stressed and would try to comfort her, but Jenny would push her away. 
After visiting court with her parents to watch the trial of the man who was shot, Stacy wanted to become a detective. At first, she thought that detectives looked boring and stiff yet inspiring, so Stacy decided that she’s going to add more “flair” to the world of law and try to help families who were affected by all types of crime. After becoming a detective, she started working on cases with Fulbright and admired him for his sense of j ustice. Stacy has been working as a detective for three years. 
Stacy first meets Apollo, Athena, and Phoenix in Turnabout Academy. Stacy worked with Jenny for the first time as a detective/forensic scientist team at Themis Legal Academy to find the killer of Constance Courte. Stacy loved the case because it sounded like a murder mystery novel to her and she loved seeing how unique the school was. She really encouraged Juniper and her friends’s dreams of ending the Dark Age of Law. 
In The Cosmic Turnabout, Stacy learned about the Phantom and wanted to help Phoenix, Athena, and Apollo. Stacy sympathized with Apollo and wanted to help him, but Jenny and Phoenix advised her not to interfere. Stacy became stressed over the fact that Athena, Apollo, and Phoenix were under pressure and suffering in the case. She vowed to assist Phoenix in any way she could. When Trucy was kidnapped, Stacy wanted to make saving the hostages the team’s first priority, but Aura Blackquill forced them to not interfere.

Character's Name: Valko Lionsworth

Age: 23

Occupation: Prosecutor

Brief Physical Description:
Valko has a slightly built figure, but does not want to lose his ability to look slightly feminine. His looks are inspired by decades past, and by Prosecutor Gavin. He has long semi-spiked blonde hair with natural orange high-lights. He is on the short side for a male at 5 ft six in, but that does not seem to stop him from being popular with girls. He has light green eyes.

Brief Personality Description: Valko is a trickster through and through. He is eccentric and because of that loves to live in the spot light. Valko's first dream job was to become a popular group duo with his twin Seren, but then he discovered the Gavineer's through his older sister Blythe. He saw how glamorous he was, and how popular he was and wanted to be just like him. So he fashioned his clothes like a rock star and studied to become a prosecutor. While he was interning, he was able to meet Prosecutor Blackquill. He fell in love with the idea of using psychology to run a court-room, and uses it in his cases. He likes to dress and act stupid to fool his opponents and win while they think he is weak.
He also adores his family.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Views Prosecutor Gavin and Blackquill as his mentors, and often consults with them when he has difficulties with cases.

Brief Background: Valko has a twin Seren and a half-older sister named Blythe, who shares the same father but has a different mother. He grew up adoring his older sister and does not even acknowledge the fact that they do share full blood. They grew up around music, being that his mother is a pianist. He was well on his way to becoming a pop idol, until he learned about the Gavinners and the true reason why Blythe became a homicide detective. He then decided that to be able to help Blythe, he needed to be a prosecutor to get as many truths as possible, so that she can work a little less. So now his goal is to both be a prosecutor and an idol, much like Prosecutor Gavin is.

She wanted to dedicate herself to her ex-boyfriend's dream, because she was now fulfilling her own. Her build is fit, but still slender.

Brief Personality Description: Seren is very energetic. While she is not bubbly, she is a bit of a busy body. She likes to be active when she is not working on a case. She tends to look for the fun in people and lives very much in the moment. She also has deep sympathy for people, and is kind to most people, so long as they are kind themselves. She is also very loyal and believes in family and friendship and truth above all else.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Was Clay Terran's girlfriend until about six months before his death. Was classmate to Apollo in law school, but did not take the bar exam at the same time.

Brief Background: Seren grew up adoring her sister, and dreaming of becoming an idol.

Then just as she passed law school and was going to take the bar exam, news of Phoenix Wright using forged evidence, and then the conviction of Prosecutor Blackquill, she felt there was no hope in going into the law profession. She tried to be an entertainer, but even then she felt something was missing. Then one day she went with her detective sister to visit someone in prison. This person was Kristoph Gavin. It was then she noticed that her sister was trying to help Prosecutor Gavin's brother, by trying to get him to reveal some hidden secrets. After this meeting, Seren resolved herself to become an attorney to help people like Gavin feel like they can reveal the truth.

Character’s Name: Joe King
Age: 28
Occupation: Defense attorney
Brief Physical Description: Freakishly tall (190 cm), light brown hair in a strange, jester hat like style, dark grey eyes and slightly tanned skin. Wears a pale purple suit with matching purple pants, with a black and blue fireworks shirt underneath, and carries a black jacket.
Brief Personality Description: A very serious person, despite nobody being able to take him seriously. At first he seems distant and uncaring, but once you get to know him he is actually quite sweet, but he rarely smiles. He’s always shouting, “There was no joke!”
Connection to canon characters: Student of Phoenix Wright
Brief Background: Joe King, due to his rather unfortunate name, endured a lifetime of never being taken seriously. No matter where he went, people would ask him what the joke was. Laughter would always follow him, something he hated. Watching Phoenix in court and how passionately he would defend people, he thought that if he too became a lawyer, he would be taken seriously. He studied hard and with Phoenix’s help, eventually achieved his goal.
The first client could only speak some phrases of English and as such didn’t make fun of his name. He was so grateful to Joe that he gave him the fireworks shirt he loves so much. Joe was so confident he was going to be taken seriously after that, until Phoenix decided he needed a partner, Pippa.

Connection to canon characters: Childhood friend of Maya Fey, later friend of Trucy Wright
Brief Background: Pippa Squeak, being so short, always felt inadequate. She was the weird little girl that seemed to be able to read minds. Her parents, frightened and unsure how to take care of her, sent her to Kurain Village. There she befriended Maya Fey and other girls in the village. Pippa tried to learn how to channel spirits due to her idolisation of Maya. Something went wrong, and Pippa ended up channelling a dangerous man. When she woke up, Maya had been attacked, and Pippa ran away from the village out of fear and guilt.
After taking up ballet, and feeling completely isolated around the taller dancers, she was discovered by Trucy. Trucy convinced her to join the Wright Anything Agency, where she was then partnered up with Joe. She immediately made fun of his name and destroyed his ego.

Spoiler: Sylvia Ming
Entrant's name: MellifluousSheep

Character name: Sylvia Ming

Age: 24

Occupation: Undercover journalist

Brief Physical Description: She is short and wiry, with a round face and dark hair. As an undercover journalist, Sylvia frequently changes her appearance in order to infiltrate different institutions and trail people for her scoop. Her closely cropped hair gives her a youthful appearance and makes her seem unlikely to be a journalist.

Brief Personality Description: Upon first meeting her, she is often mistaken as very shallow and plain because of the cheerful and simplistic way she speaks. However, she's quite clever and very quick-witted, and this has helped her get by when investigating very dangerous stories. She relies on her sharp logic, but is at the same time very approachable, due to her easygoing appearance.

Brief Background: Sylvia's interest in journalism first emerged in middle school, when she joined the school newspaper. The school newspaper was horrible, and it was the joke of the school for its poor quality and delayed reports. She herself realized this too, but in truth she only joined because she respected and admired the teacher. They became friendly with each other, and after a while Sylvia only went to the classroom to chat with the teacher. But even so, she was inspired by her teacher and decided she would pursue journalism later on.

In high school, she enrolled in the journalism course, but she despised this teacher. He was old and had a very traditional view of the world. She didn't agree with his opinions, and he disapproved of the subject matter she chose to write about. She took it upon herself, out of frustration, to report on all the things she knew his conservative nature would hate. Her grades suffered, but she felt a sense of satisfaction.

At the same time, she started a blog, and she posted up her own articles while reposting articles on topics she found interesting. She never amassed a lot of followers, but it was gratifying knowing she was spreading her ideas and important issues to a few people, at least.

When she finally managed to get hired by a newspaper company, she covered very mundane tasks. She felt discontent and restless, however, and began pursuing even more dangerous scoops. At first, her editor disapproved, thinking her too cocky for a newcomer. When her stories began growing in popularity, her editor allowed her to continue. Her cases began getting her involved with court, and she was summoned as a witness several times. Afraid that she would be unable to continue tailing people, she quickly adopted a pseudonym and sent her editor to appear in court in her place.
When she first met Hendricks, she found him amusing, as he seemed awkward and naïve. She teased him continually and dropped hints about the investigation, but their trust gradually grew and she began to respect him as well.

Spoiler: Marcus Hendricks
Character name: Marcus Hendricks

Age: 27

Occupation: Detective

Brief Physical Description: Hendricks appears very sharp and aggressive, with angular cheekbones, a furrowed brow, and a deep set frown. He is of a large build, with pointed shoulders contributing to an overall pointed silhouette. Overall, he is an intimidating man to approach.

Brief Personality Description: While Hendricks appears intimidating, he is very passive and timid. He lacks the ability to be assertive and is often too nervous to contribute any sort of opinion. He gets embarrassed very easily and often chooses to keep quiet. Unfortunately, when confronted with a difficult situation, he gets flustered and acts irrationally without thinking, and he spends hours thinking of his humiliating behavior and feeling intense regret. Because of this, he typically wears a pained expression and appears to be glowering silently, which contributes to his general aura of unapproachability.

Brief Background: Hendricks grew up in a peaceful neighborhood in the suburbs. He was the top of his class in high school, but he chose a college that people considered below his level. However, he himself loved the school, and could still maintain his rank easily. He considers these days as the prime of his life, and he surrounded himself with friends and supportive teachers.

Afterward, Hendricks entered medical school, and he found a stark contrast in these two periods of his life. Suddenly, everyone around him was just as brilliant as him, and he had to struggle to maintain his good grades. He hated the pressure associated with the reputation of being the top of his class, as he was in the first semester. He worked endlessly and found himself exhausted, doing work he didn't even enjoy. His grades began falling, and he couldn't see any purpose in continuing to pile even more pressure and stress on himself. He hated the competitive environment and couldn't keep up with the classes, and he dropped out of medical school, swearing never to enter such a community of intellectuals again.

He spent a good year or two in a disillusioned state, living on the floor of a basement apartment and losing touch with his friends. He had no idea what he would do and how he would survive in the future. He decided to go into law enforcement, telling himself that he would rather deal with criminals than intellectuals. Criminals were rude and would treat him like trash, and no one had respect or high expectations for the police.

Once in training, Hendricks once again saw a change in his life. No longer was he the brilliant, promising, young student. He was the inexperienced, the failure, the one who fell behind. He didn't mind, however. He finished his training and rose up through the ranks quickly until he became a detective.

His first case as a detective is what told him he chose the correct path in life. He was assigned to a case that Sylvia was investigating as well, and that was their first encounter. They shared their leads and were able to solve the case with each other's help, and Hendricks found a deep-set admiration of Sylvia. They stumble upon each other in many cases, and he likes to consider her his rival, always striving to oust her and arrest the criminal before she reveals him. He's comes to enjoy friendly competition again, and he finds himself satisfied with his adequate pay.

Character's Name: Will O'Wisp
Age: 27 (Dual Destinies)
Occupation: Private Investigator

Brief Physical Description: Will stands at at 180 cm (5'11"), which includes his swirling blue hair. The tip of his hair is lighter than the roots, and it swirls upward resembling the flames of will-o'-the-wisps of lore. He has dark circles under his blue eyes all the time due to his insomnia and workaholic habits. He is rarely seen without his notepad, which he keeps in his blue overcoat pockets when it is not in use, and his trusty pencil, which he keeps behind his right ear. Under his jacket, he wears a light yellow shirt with a red tie. He wears dark colored pants, and black shoes.

Brief Personality Description: Given his working habits and the lack of sleep that follows it, Will is almost always grumpy. He is completely dedicated to his work, which makes him pretty aggressive when he is trying to get information out of people. He is prone to anger, which leads to breaking a lot of his pencils. Luckily, he keeps plenty of spares in his jacket. Will is also very blunt and forward when speaking to people.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Maya Fey, Pearl Fey

Brief Background: Will and Ide grew up near Gourd Lake. When Will was a child and Ide was still a toddler, an incident that resulted the death of their mother forced their father to relocate them overseas. The death of their mother was written off as suicide by the police due to the lack of evidence and suspect for murder. Unsatisfied with the police's shoddy investigation work involving his mother's death, Will decided to become a private investigator to solve his mother's death. He is still collecting evidence to prove his mother's death was murder.

Will is not afraid to use sources deemed inappropriate by the law in his investigation, as long as he has the evidence to back up his theories. Because of this, his private investigation services deal with cases that involve supernatural elements, seeing as the police and the law do not take these cases seriously. He works with the Fey clan quite often, speaking with the victims through channelling to confirm the evidence he's collected or to search for new leads.

Entrant's Name: TOFU
Entrant's Website: http://tofuproductionz.deviantart.com
Character's Name: Ide O'Wisp
Age: 17 (Dual Destinies)
Occupation: University student studying Criminology

Brief Physical Description: Ide has blue eyes and hair just like her brother, with the tips a lighter blue than the rest of her hair. She wears a yellow scarf, and is never seen without her trusty hat on her head. She stands at 162 cm (5'4"). Her outfit consists of a red cardigan, a pink shirt, blue-black jeans and black boots. She carries a green bag that matches her hat that contains her schoolbooks and materials.

Brief Personality Description: Unlike her brother, Ide is bright and cheerful, always smiling and friendly. She is very open and honest, which makes her a terrible liar. She sometime lets out too much information, and that usually gets her in trouble. She tries to cover this up by muffling her words with her "mustache". Similarly to her brother, she is also very dedicated to her goals, and will do everything in her power to achieve them.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Athena Cykes

Brief Background: Inspired by her brother's work and dedication to his career, Ide is also studying to be a detective at her university. As an incoming freshman, she is very eager to meet new people and make connections that will help her further on in her chosen career. She came upon Athena in one of her Psychology classes, and they became quick friends. She looks up to Athena and is always ready and willing to lend a hand.

Despite following her brother's footsteps, she does not believe her brother's sources and methods to be reliable, so she opts for concrete investigation. Given her young age when her mother died, she does not feel the same way as her brother does about the police, and she hopes to join their ranks one day.

Character's Name: Edwin Paige
Age: 25 (Dual Destinies)
Occupation: Private Investigator

Brief Physical Description: Edwin is a skinny man standing at 170 cm (5'7") with dark red hair, brown eyes, and a sharp nose. He's usually seen in a yellow suit, with a mint green shirt underneath and a red tie.

Brief Personality Description: Edwin is sweet talker of the duo, which allows him to gather information much more easily than Will. He's very keen on reading people and manipulating them to get the information he needs. Because of this, he is rarely ever honest, and only trusts to Will.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Maya Fey, Pearl Fey, Professor Hershel Layton

Brief Background: Born and bred in London, Edwin was a very problematic child growing up. As a result, his parents did not pay much attention to him. He was involved in several delinquent activities until he met Will. After a spat that ended up with an expensive trip to the hospital for both of them, Edwin developed a strong respect for Will. After a few weeks of being stalked, Will got fed up and took Edwin under his wing. As Will's partner in business, he is always seen wherever Will is, and is only alone when he needs to work on their assignments individually.

Edwin attended Gressenheller University for a short while before deciding archaeology was not his passion, and he wanted to follow Will's path in criminology as well. He had Professor Layton as a lecturer in one of his classes during his time at Gressenheller. Although he no longer pursues archaeology, Edwin can sometimes be seen at local museums perusing the ancient artifacts.

Entrant's Name: Michelle (hirundo rustica)

Entrant's Website: turnabout courthouse

Spoiler: Cheng-Feng Yuan
Character's Name: Cheng-Feng Yuan (袁乘風)

Age: 22 (pre-Ace Investigations)

Occupation: Prosecutor; Calligrapher


Brief Physical Description: 5'1" (154cm). Slim build, brown eyes, fierce eyebrows. Dark hair, auburn at the ears; top knot, twin hair loops and tail. Of Chinese descent (born and raised in Zheng Fa).

Feng wears loose black trousers and black flats, a white blouse under a blue waistcoat with Chinese button knots, and a red bolero with black cuffs, epaulettes and gold aguillette. She wears a pocketwatch in the pocket of her bolero (a habit inherited from her father) and a jade bangle on her left wrist (inherited from her mother). Her topknot is kept in place with a gold hairpin; her prosecutor's badge sits on her left lapel. She wears red eyeshadow and lipstick.


Brief Personality Description: Cheng-Feng is quick-witted, pensive and level-headed. She is resourceful and does her best to work hard and stick to everything she does, immersing herself in studies, cases, projects as much as she can – although sometimes not so much out of diligence as a desire to forget the guilt she feels for having left her family and her country, Zheng Fa, behind.

As a youth, Feng was sanguine, open to change and motivated herself through positive emotion, but often tried to push down negative emotions, not wanting to ever be driven by feelings like sadness or anger or fear, and wanting to emulate her mother, who always seemed so strong and optimistic (and whose fierce eyebrows she inherited). Her easygoing nature was a trait inherited from her father, as well as her love of music and arts, talent for calligraphy, and his quick wit. After the untimely death of their mother and later their father, Feng found it increasingly harder to choke down her sadnesses, trying to remain strong for her brother. This withholding of emotion did their relationship more harm than good, however, and was a factor in the shift in their dynamic. Her childhood way of moving with the flow of things shifted into passiveness and introversion, and her willingness to accept change became replaced with feelings of anxiety.

As a teenager, Feng watched both her brother and second cousin throw themselves into their studies, both intent on becoming officers of the law, both with a loathing of prosecutors, who caused the House of Lang to lose face, and felt as if she should feel the same, but was still unable find it within herself to become motivated through anger and resentment. Conversely, it was positive feelings of love for her people that led her to make the decision to study abroad and become a Prosecutor, despite her new introversion and fear of the unknown.

As a rookie Prosecutor, Feng felt duty-bound to provide justice, but was unsure of how to approach cases due to her reluctance to be aggressive and interrogative. Under the guidance of Miles Edgeworth, she realised that if she wanted to do right by her people as she so claimed, then she could not always remain passive; she had to act assertive, even if she did not always feel it; she had to push forward when it was necessary and not when it was necessarily comfortable; she had to stick to her guns and follow the course of things, even if she was afraid where they might lead.

Feng is constantly haunted by the strong feelings of guilt and shame that her brother left her with prior to her leaving Zheng Fa, and the anxiety that she may indeed be a traitor to her country and her family. Her greatest fear is that her second cousin, whom she has always admired, will find out about her profession and subsequently despise her. Despite her best intentions, these feelings of shame and fear drive her to perform as hard as she can, contrary to her childhood hesitation to be motivated by negative feelings.

Feng continues to find her own way of approaching new obstacles, hoping to be able to be the best person she can be, one that will be capable of helping restore peace to the country she loves so much.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Second cousin to Shi-Long Lang; first cousin once removed downwards to Dai-Long Lang; descendant of Lang Zi. Subordinate associate to Miles Edgeworth.


Brief Background: Cheng-Feng Yuan was born in February 1996 to Hong-Sun Yuan (袁紅隼), a calligrapher and art teacher, and Xing-Guang Lang (狼星光), a high-ranking member of the Zheng Fa Police Force. Her brother Ying-Long, was already seven by the time she was born and they shared a close relationship growing up, despite their age gap. Their mother was a Lang and first cousin to Dai-Long Lang by her father's side – due to the tight bond shared by their fathers, Dai-Long and Xing-Guang virtually grew up alongside each other, and as such both Feng and Long were close to Dai-Long's son, their second cousin Shi-Long.

If her brother Ying-Long growing up was closer to their mother, a Lang down to the marrow, then Feng was more like their father, a Yuan, descendant of an old family line of poets and calligraphers. Where her brother was quick to take action, Feng was content to wait and go with the flow. Where he was tempestuous, she was more measured. And where he had gravitated towards a future in law enforcement, she developed a fervour for calligraphy and the arts.

In 2006, Xing-Guang Lang, the rock of their family, was killed in the line of duty. Despite concerted efforts, a culprit was never formally charged with her death. Less than six months later, Hong-Sun Yuan passed away due to stress-induced cardiomyopathy, leaving Feng in the legal guardianship of her older brother, who had only just graduated high school. Less than six months after that came the fall of the House of Lang.

After this the dynamic between the two siblings changed – with both the loss of both parents, Long's new responsibilities, and the disgrace of the Lang clan, their relationship began to grow strained, although they did their best to try, with her brother encouraging her to pursue whichever passions she wanted to during high school. After the death of Dai-Long Lang in 2011, their second cousin Shi-Long began to withdraw, becoming more aggressive than he had been as a youth – though they remained close, the dynamic between Cheng-Feng, Ying-Long, and Shi-Long became more sombre than it had been.

In 2012, Long made known his intentions to request secondment to Interpol, and Feng began quietly considering what it was she wanted to do after finishing school. Still passionate about calligraphy as she had been when their father were alive, she had always been set on pursuing art, but the circumstances surrounding the death of their mother and Shi-Long's father began to make her start thinking twice. Following the passing of Dai-Long Lang and the fall of the Lang clan, crime rates began to rise in Zheng Fa. Lacking the desire to become a Police officer as their mother had been, Feng decided on another course of action, one that would help the country and the people that she cared most about.

In 2013, upon graduating, Feng announced her plans to study abroad, having been accepted to Ivy University in the States with a scholarship. At this time, Shi-Long was already traveling abroad as an agent of Interpol and Ying-Long was due to follow. Being unable to lie to her brother, Feng revealed her intentions to study a joint degree in Law and Arts, with the end goal of becoming a Prosecutor, in order to return home and help fight crime in Zheng Fa. Ying-Long, angry, openly accused her of being a traitor to their country and their family, demanding what he should tell Shi-Long of her decision. Feng made one last request that he keep it secret. After this, the relationship between them promptly went south. Following her departure from Zheng Fa and Ying-Long's acceptance into Interpol, no contact was had between them.

Despite her primary studies in Law, Feng remained active in Arts, participating in a number of student exhibitions. Even following her passing of the bar, she continued to practice calligraphy, submitting her work to various art shows and magazines.

In 2017, after graduating with Honours and passing the bar at 21, Feng chose to remain in US, not yet ready to return home, and began work as a Prosecutor for the State, under the guidance of more experienced Prosecutors such as Miles Edgeworth.

In late 2018, a case arose in which the suspect was a former resident of Zheng Fa. Upon examining the case, Feng grew to realise that the accused may have been responsible for her mother's death; with only two trials under her belt, the case was clearly out of her league, but she formally requested the Chief Prosecutor that she be assigned to the case, determined to find answers. Being an international affair, Interpol is also on the case, and Feng understands that after five years of radio silence, she may once again be facing her brother, Shi-Long, and realising the consequences of her chosen path in relation to the people and the country she wants to help save.

Spoiler: Ying-Long Yuan
Character's Name: Ying-Long Yuan (袁應龍)

Age: 29 (pre-Ace Investigations)

Occupation: Interpol Agent; Subordinate of Shi-Long Lang


Brief Physical Description: 6' (185cm). Strong build, brown eyes, fierce eyebrows. Dark hair, swept back, greying at the ears. Of Chinese descent (born and raised in Zheng Fa).

Ying-Long wears the standard uniform of all agents under the direction of Shi-Long Lang; white shirt, black tie and dark two piece suit, with gold buttons, epaulettes, and gold aguillette. He wears a pocketwatch in the pocket of his blazer (a habit inherited from his father) and obsidian earrings (previously belonging to his mother). A scar from a bike accident in his teenage years sits on his right jaw.

Brief Personality Description: Ying-Long is sharp, logical, and occasionally quick to temper. He is compassionate and assertive and always means to do what is right, although he doesn't always know how to convey his empathy for others. Everything he sets his mind to he does his best to see through to the end, even if his emotions change partway.

As a youth, Long was a natural born leader, always kind, ready to take charge and encourage those who needed it. He was often emotional, but channeled those emotions to act as a driving force for whatever he put his mind to. Long didn't always find it easy to hold back on reacting on feelings, but was able to learn how to compartmentalise with the help of his father, who introduced him to old forms of Chinese poetry. After the untimely death of their mother and later their father, Long found it difficult to stay as optimistic as he had been, and decided that since he was now his sister's legal guardian, he had to be mature and dependable, and hold back on the changeable emotions that he would feel as a child. This withholding of his own nature did their relationship more harm than good, however, and was a factor in the shift in their dynamic. His confidence and tendency to leadership, once natural aspects of his personality, became roles that he was obliged to perform.

As a teenager, Long struggled to act as both a brother and a parent figure to his sister, trying to behave as the adult he believed he was meant to be and instead becoming gradually more tense. After his acceptance into the Zheng Fa Police college, he threw himself into his studies, intent on honouring the memory of his mother by becoming Station Sargeant as she had been before she died. He encouraged his sister to pursue her passion in art as she seemed to want to, not necessarily because he believed in the outcome, but because it was the right thing to say. With his responsibilities so divided between his roles as brother, parent-figure, and model student, Long became more subdued and less openly emotional, and beginning to lose sight of what he was that he wanted for himself.

As a Police officer, Long continued to work hard and perform admirably in his duties – although he was no longer as wholeheartedly passionate about becoming an officer as he was as a child, because he had made his decision, he felt honour-bound to see it through. Nonetheless, he began to realise that he had lost his sense of direction and his faith in his own leadership abilities, and that once he had reached Station Sargeant there was no other goal to pursue. However, after his second cousin's secondment to Interpol, and upon seeing his drive and determination to be the best, Long began to reconsider, developing a deep admiration for the young man his second cousin had become, inspiring a motivation he had never experienced before. Long became conflicted, torn between his self-imposed duty to see his goals through, and the desire to go in a new direction, to follow his second cousin and learn from his strength.

Long is often regretful of his last interaction with his sister; although he wanted to understand, his own feelings of betrayal and simultaneous anger at his own emotions create a conflict within him that he tries hard to ignore. Although he deeply admires his second cousin and will follow him wherever he goes, he is also plagued by constant guilt at his hiding of his sister's secret. In order to bury those feelings, he throws himself into every task that he does and never stays idle, reading and writing in his spare time in an attempt to help compartmentalise those emotions, as his father taught.

Long, once aggressive, has now become more passive. Having lost his own direction, he now chooses to follow rather than lead, in order to learn the true meaning of strength and honour, and to find new purpose for himself.


Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Second cousin to Shi-Long Lang and one of his 99 subordinates; first cousin once removed downwards to Dai-Long Lang; colleague of Shih-na.


Brief Background: Ying-Long Yuan was born in January 1990 to Hong-Sun Yuan (袁紅隼), a calligrapher and art teacher, and Xing-Guang Lang (狼星光), a high-ranking member of the Zheng Fa Police Force. Shortly after turning seven, his younger sister Cheng-Feng was born and they shared a close relationship growing up, despite their age gap. Their mother was a Lang and first cousin to Dai-Long Lang by her father's side – due to the tight bond shared by their fathers, Dai-Long and Xing-Guang virtually grew up alongside each other, and as such both Feng and Long were close to Dai-Long's son, their second cousin Shi-Long, born late 1991, shortly before Long turned two.

Growing up, Long was most like their mother, an admirable and capable woman and a true Lang down to the marrow. From her he inherited a sense of natural leadership, his desire to be a Police officer, her tenacity and compassion, and her fierce brow. He shared his father and sister's appreciation for the arts, although not to the same degree, and acquired his father's sensitivity, the Yuan fondness for literature and poetry, and later in life adopted his father's habit of wearing a pocketwatch.

In 2006, Xing-Guang Lang was killed in the line of duty. Despite concerted efforts, a culprit was never formally charged with her death. Less than six months later, Hong-Sun Yuan passed away due to stress-induced cardiomyopathy, leaving Long, who had only just graduated high school, the sole caregiver of his younger sister. Although Dai-Long Lang suggested that they come live with him, Long turned him down, despite wanting to accept – he was legally an adult now, and he was honour-bound to step into that role and take care of his sibling. Less than six months after that came the fall of the House of Lang.

After this the dynamic between the two siblings changed – with both the loss of both parents, Long's new responsibilities, and the disgrace of the Lang clan, their relationship began to grow strained, although they did their best to try. Long's struggle to be all at once a responsible older brother, parent figure, and model student began to put him under immense pressure, and he became less confident in his ability to be a person who could lead and take care of others.

In 2007 Long was formally accepted into the Zheng Fa Police College, with the hopes of entering the force and becoming Station Sargeant as their mother had been before she died, and being inducted into the Zheng Fa Police force in 2009. Their second cousin Shi-Long began his own studies at the Police college a year after he did, with his own intentions of becoming a Detective as his father was – however, not long after his own induction in 2010, Dai-Long Lang passed away. Shi-Long began to withdraw, becoming more aggressive than he had been as a youth, but quickly establishing himself as a capable officer of the law. A year later, Shi-Long was seconded to Interpol, whereupon he left Zheng Fa to further his studies in law enforcement.

By 2012, Long was on well his way to becoming Sargeant, but his loss of confidence in his leadership skills began to make him reconsider his goals. Seeing the way Shi-Long that was still holding strong and forging ahead despite everything inspired a new admiration for his second cousin, which led him to request secondment to Interpol in order to follow him. By this time, Feng, whom he had done his best to support as she grew up, was just old enough to be able to take care of herself.

In 2013, upon graduating, Feng announced her plans to study abroad, revealing her intentions to study a joint degree in Law and Arts, with the end goal of becoming a Prosecutor. Ying-Long, angry, openly accused her of being a traitor to their country and their family, demanding what he should tell Shi-Long of her decision. Feng made one last request that he keep it secret. As a final favour to her, as well as to hide his own shame, Long silently vowed not to tell anyone. After this, the relationship between them promptly went south. Following her departure from Zheng Fa and Ying-Long's acceptance into Interpol, no contact was had between them.

By 2015, Long was reunited with his second cousin. No longer sure of what it was that he wanted to do, he decided he would remain with Shi-Long as one of his subordinates until he knew.

In late 2018, Interpol was alerted as to a case in the States in which the suspect was a former resident of Zheng Fa, to which Shi-Long was subsequently assigned. Upon examining the case, Long realised first that the Prosecutor Yuan in charge of the case was his estranged sister, and also that the accused may have been connected with their mother's death. Desperate to keep Shi-Long from finding out Feng's profession, and wanting to help uncover the truth behind their mother's death, he requested that he be the liaison between Shi-Long and the Prosecutor's office. Long begins to realise that after five years of radio silence, he may once again be facing his sister, and finding out consequences of their shared secret before Shi-Long, and what the conclusion of the case may mean for himself, their family and their country.

Spoiler: Bonus (trivia, etymology)
Etymology – Cheng-Feng Yuan (袁乘風):
Surname: 袁 (yuán) – A common Chinese surname. Was originally going to be 鸢 (yuān) meaning 'Kite' (as in the bird).
Generation name: 乘 (chēng) – To ride/mount.
Given name: 風 (fēng) – Wind.

乘風 (chēng fēng) – lit. "Riding the Wind"

Etymology – Ying-Long Yuan (袁應龍):
Surname: 袁 (yuán) – A common Chinese surname. Was originally going to be 鸢 (yuān) meaning 'Kite' (as in the bird).
Generation name: 應 (yìng) – To answer/promise.
Given name: 龍 (lóng) – Dragon.

應龍 (yìng lóng) – Chinese Rain Deity who appears in the form of a Dragon.


Trivia:
Text on Cheng-Feng's character sheet literally means "wait a moment!" but would be the equivalent of "hold it!".

As reference to their Lang heritage on their mother's side, Feng and Long's hair was made to resemble the ears of a wolf/fox. The rest of Feng's hairstyle is based on ancient traditional Chinese hairstyles, which was all about topknots and hair loops (sometimes both at once).

Hella research was done on Interpol and Police colleges/ranks/organisation structure for Ying-Long's part. The Hong Kong Police Force in particular was my reference for most of the things I researched, with a little bit of the Royal New Zealand Police Force as well where I couldn't find the information I was looking for. Photos of Royal Hong Kong Police uniforms from the 90s were also used as drawing reference (see below).

Also was hella research on trying to figure out the exact title for what Feng and Long would refer to Shi-Long and Dai-Long Lang as, because China (like many Asian countries) has literally a different title for every relative depending on whether they are older/younger, if they are paternal/maternal, if they are blood relative/in laws etc etc. Not even Chinese people can remember them all of the time tbh, so trying to figure out 'first cousin once removed' becomes a google for 'maternal grandfather's older brother's son who is a generation above me' and 'second cousin' becomes a tricky search for "what do I call my maternal grandfather's older brother's son's son who is older/younger than me". It was a nightmare and I couldn't find it to that degree of specificity so I had to admit defeat on that bit.

Very first time participating on this contest~
Was very enjoyable to work on these!

Spoiler: Richard Flinn
Entrant's Name: TFreezyT
Entrant's Website: freezy-2spooky.tumblr.com
Character's Name: Richard "Rin" Flinn
Age: 25
Occupation: Prosecutor/Suspect (Guilty)

Brief Physical Description: An average built man and a little taller than five feet tall, being a man of smiles and less frowns.
Richard takes every morning to appreciate his long delicate curly hair, being a dark shade of red
that turns into a brighter tone with the slight touch of the morning sun, He uses to
fix the lenght of his hair in a ponytail at home before going off to work, remarking a peaceful expression,
releasing it only when he's back at home or relaxed in his office; his wide eyes being a pale mixture between green and blue,
and due to an hereditary medical condition he had to wear a special pair of glasses since he graduated from the Themis Legal Academy at the age of 19,
when his vision quality decreased every year that passed. Without his glasses, Richard can't se a thing, just aimless shapes.
Possesses delicate hands with a very strong grip on them, keeps a kind of an easygoing appearance.

Sometimes he wears a diverse combination of different-colored vestsand ties. Unlike his suits and the rest of his formal attire that are all of the same color.


Brief Personality Description: Richard, despite of being a very temperamental man that hates daily-repetitive routines,
posesses a strong will and patience that he puts in practice everyday in court and even in his normal life to avoid
stressing himself too easily, the most precious thing on his own self could be the profile that he mantains while doing his job,
a very serene, flexible, fancy profile, nothing to do with his real self.
A man with a sarcastic sense of humor that enjoys the reaction of the person he's speaking with, or even confronting.
On Richard's perception he's valuable on the Psychology side since it was dragged into the court a few years ago,
being a new effective resource to "achieve the truth".

Makes strong, stubborn judgements against others who cross them, being a reflexive act while feeling nervous,
and as he realizes the sudden burst of emotions, Richard always finds a way to get away with it.
His voice always calm along with relaxed facial expressions to avoid being a prime suspect on anything.
Traditional, independent and organized, his desk always tidied up and puts his patience at practice with
his "loyal" detective Jean Terran and rival attorneys.


Connection to canon characters: Before Kristoph's incarceration, he had the same vision, the same goal as him. Even shared the same motto:
"Evidence is everything in court", even if Richard's means weren't the right ones. He looked up to Kristoph as a model
of experience and elegance (despite of being the opposite in both their careers), remembering the last words of his role-model, a name, a voice full of grudge and anger that echoed: "Apollo Justice".
All prepared, his first trials were an easy task; but, after a few months of glory and successfull 'Guilty' veredicts, the trouble on his own
self began. One he could never forget, a trial confronting the prodigy Athena Cykes, along with Apollo Justice, calling him "Röda djävulen" ('red devil' in swedish).
The name soon echoed over his thoughts once again, but this time Apollo wasn't alone, so he had to do a little
research over his younger companion, feeling impressed and wondered about how something so simple but also complicated
could be perfect to "achieve the truth" in the courtroom, pressing the witness and dealing with the emotional details over
their own statements, perhaps that could work with his courtroom rivals somehow.

Richard keeps a pretty good relationship with the other fellow prosecutors in the zone, feeling well received and appreciated after his arrival at LA,
being a nationalized man originally from Sweden. Returned to the motherland after the sudden death of his mentor Metis Cykes
from whom he learned about Analytical Psychology and its applications, but of course, Richard had other purposesin mind.
Such as winning against Athena's methods in court, no matter the circumstances.

He even was acused of fabricating evidence (which was a true fact at the end), but thanks to his own knowledge, he could easily get off the case.
Hiding emotions properly could be another of his surprises, being also a prime suspect at the time they had the urge
to find the Phantom's identity, being mildly insulted and threatened by Simon Blackquill during their sessions.
But obviously, Richard wasn't the Phantom after all. But his crimes are still intact.


Brief Background: Richard grew up in a small town located on Sweden with his widow mother, he lost his father at the early age of
7 years as his father was caught sorrounded by a wildfire in the depths of the mountain's woods near his hometown.
As the years passed he developed pyrophobia as the product of his childhood trauma involving his father's death.
The wildfire case was never solved, no matter how much he tried to discover the origin of such event, even when the local security
system revealed that it started as an act of vandalism by a group of four teenagers. The vandals weren't sentenced for the outcome
of their act due to the lack of evidence and the holes in Richard's testimony.
Richard was outlined at the moment for searching a "kind of justice that doesn't exist" in plain form. And his obsession with
obtaining the truth with all he could only grew stronger.
At the age of 16, with the company of his uncle, he managed to convince his mother to let him follow his father's wish and follow his steps,
soon, he traveled to LA with a recommendation letter for the Themis Legal Academy ready to achieve his goal, become a successfull
prosecutor.
But blindfolded by his own ambition, he fell into a pit of corruption and frustration.

Flinn wasn't one of the most sociable or bright students of his generation, he was only determined and focused on his goal as he practiced his English skills with
the few friends he could make during his first months in the prosecutor class; despite of being a cold perfectionist he would always
receive a classmate with a wide friendly smile, even if he rejected a petition or practiced his sarcastic humor with others instead of insulting them directly.
As the studens were finishing their studies as judges, defense attorneys and prosecutors, they celebrated the success of the
generation with a mock-final trial to show up the high-ranked students, more like a competition it's a way to celebrate their
efforts.
Richard took it the wrong way, as a competition, and he was almost banned from the celebration for "fabricating evidence" on the mock-trial,
he was a little obvious though; on the defense side there was a shy figure, Alexis Luana, a student from the defense attorney class,
who was very determined, ready with the already-prepared evidence given by the professor in charge of the whole celebration,
but she noticed that everything Richard was doing was out of the main program and asked the professor about it in case she was the one representating her part the wrong way.
Ashamed, Richard spent the rest of the celebration alone, consumed by the memories of his long-lost parental figure, not winning the
mock-trial with "all the means necessary" triggered those thoughts. After the celebration, he received his title, and never stepped near the academy anymore.

Still consumed by his angered/manipulative self, he met his new model ignoring that he belonged to the opposite side of this system, it was more like a moral model to him,
the defense attorney Kristoph Gavin accepted to guide the aspiring prosecutor with the few things he knew about that side of the law and their profile.
But the outcome of that combination wasn't the best a courtroom would've ever wanted. He provided Richard a trustfull companion, a familiar face
between the inner security assistants in the local Detention Center, Jean Terran. A fellow detective that, as the years passed,
realized the horrid problem he just got involved into.
Corruption, lies, fabrication of evidence, murder. Everything he could do to achieve his own goal, and that wasn't involving his father's wish anymore.

Spoiler: Jean Terran
Entrant's Name: TFreezyT
Entrant's Website: freezy-2spooky.tumblr.com
Character's Name: Jean Terran - Deceased
Age: 30
Occupation: Detective

Brief Physical Description: Compared to Richard, Jean's height reaches 5'11'' being slightly smaller than him, not a very notable
difference from his companion. Jean's dark brown hair being short from its lenght and always covered by his favourite gray-colored hat
that he tilts everytime he feels either embarrased or disgusted over something along with a "Tch" sound coming from himself with a twitch of his lips.
Jean always takes a moment to style his facial hair for his own liking, the same style everyday but if he feels comfortable with it
then it's good to keep it that way.
His left eye twitches naturally, remarking his lack of patience. His eyes reflecting a pale gold tone, almost like sweet honey.
He often wears silver rings on his thumb and index finged on his right hand, the one on his index finger being a nice gift from
his fiancee after she got the news about his promotion on his actual job.
Terran is not too cautious with his appearance, after a few hours of rough work he uses to take his dark-gray coat off including
his formal suit, always matching the color of his hat and tie, leaving his stripped shirt on along with his tie and coal-colored suspenders.


Brief Personality Description: A risk-taking, optimistic and observant detective, missing a vital piece of evidence or clue is not
something he could easily forgive himself of, depending of his actual mood he tends to overreact in certain circumstances, most of the times
it happens when he's all stressed while helping the prosecutor Richard Flinn with part of the investigation on the scene of the crime they are
taking the work on.
A man of trust and loyalty, but also affection, only for his dearest one, always waiting for his return everyday even if it's for
a short period of time depending of the load of work it's piled over him and his comrades at the Detention Center; or just to assist
Richard and all his scolding (blackmail).
He doesn't have any fears at all, his one and only fear could be the fear of his fiancee getting hurt, even worse,
by a familiar hand or his own inadvertence. It would be devastating if anyone learned that he had a criminal record on Terran's past archives.
But a person can always get sick of such blackmail.


Connection to canon characters: Jean spent most of his free-time in the Detention Center fooling around along with Detective Gumshoe,
talking and joking about the details of past crimes or about some mistakes/things that he found funny on the nervous witnesess during
their testimonies in the courtroom. Sometimes the small talks turning serious when one of them brings up unconsciously the topic about
corruption taking over the legal system, with the 'dark age of the law' as a result, both defense attorneys and prosecutors
using the worst means to "achieve justice". But he was more focused in his own job, and just deviate the conversation
to another 'less-threatening' topic.
On his early years (When Jean was around 24-25 years old) before he was promoted as a higher-rank detective,
he blindly contributed to Furio Tigre's gang in dissolving their information if any of the members/affiliated committed a felony,
he could make of that an easy task to do, and sometimes Terran helped them with the dirty work. Something he regretted years later,
fearing that it could affect his new life with his lovely fiancee. Being reborn as man of commitment and trust, but his emotions
could still be easily manipulated, he didn't only met the love of his life, but also his main weakness along with his own pride.

Would be a shame if someone took advantage of it to turn this man against his own will.


Brief Background: His birthplace is still unknown, Jean being a very reserved person when it comes to describe himself,
pretty much worried and neglecting the roots of his bad reputation in his hometown, both his parents are still alive along with his younger brother,
who is still aspiring to become an ace in general medicine more than anything, his brother's wish became stronger when their mother became weaker every month that passed,
Terran completely finished his studies at the age of 20, taking a few steps back and talking with his caring parents about his
future plans, and of course, to introduce the lovely Victoria Toue (his fiancee) to them. Bot really relieved that those were
actually very good news, and coming from a person like Jean surprised them, even his sick mother shared a wide smile.
Jean's speech became serious, determinated to help his brother's funds for their mother healthcare, no big surprise due to the kind of atittude he already possess, and so his journey began.
Starting his work as a detective at the same time he came to LA along with Victoria Toue as a local secretary. He was given a warm welcome at the same time trying to settle in the place.

His life took an unexpected turn the day he was called by a certain group of people. They had some influence with a gang, a guild, or other larger group, he didn't know at all.
He was indiferent, and accepted the job. Terran was responsible for the dirty work, but like him, the rest of them were amazing
at hiding their own prints in the crime, their leader took advantage of Jean being part of the head of the Detention Center after being promoted to a
higher rank after a few years of effective service, it was his fault for being manipulated in such a simple way.
The worst thing he could do was hide the news and prints from a murder scene that was conducted by the same gang. The only good thing he got from that "part-time job"
was that he developed his oratory skills and presence, they released him after a couple of years hidden working for them,
with the only condition that if he revealed the identity of the group or their former crimes, they would search for him and kill him immediately.
Something that hapened anyway, but not by the hand of the Mafia.
Years later he received another call, but now it wasn't from the same group needing more dirty favors, this time it was the defense attorney Kristoph Gavin
requesting his assistance and "guidance" for the prosecutor Richard Flinn. He accepted.

Years working beside Flinn, ignoring the fact of being called from another 'criminal' to assist him; the trust that was able to form in the
detective/prosecutor relationship was fading slowly, just realizing that someone else committed strong misdeed that reminded himself of own past,
and he couldn't tolerate that to happen again. But this time Jean was below a person with a powerful profile, blindfolded by corruption
and fake goals darkened by Richard's new 'mentor', someone who shouldn't be near a courtroom anymore.
He discovered Richard fabricating evidence, and Richard, with that annoying smile of his that only revealed a threat. Three years of cooperative work,
realizing the evil scheme that was being driven in his life. He could not reveal Richard's plans, the life of his fiancee was in that decision, he was more than tired of such manipulation.
Months after the horrific discovery, it took him some courage and confronted Richard, he just wanted to reveal everything to end up 'the dark age of the law' which was the only thing he just fed,
making him remember what he really struggled in court, but prosecutor Flinn, blinded by his own ambitions again, was forced to kill Terran once and for all, now that the blackmail about his partner didn't work as he planned.
Such a desperate act didn't come too careful, he left vital clues on the crime scene, and soon his punishment would come,
but for now, the murder of Jean Terran is still intact, and Richard continues to flee away from his crimes thanks to his methods involving psychological manipulation.

His fiancee, Victoria Toue that just became a reporter, discovered the body at the crime scene four days after the murder, the victim showing signs of being shot three times on his chest.

Spoiler: Alexis Luana
Entrant's Name: TFreezyT
Entrant's Website: freezy-2spooky.tumblr.com
Character's Name: Alexis "Alu" Luana
Age: 23
Occupation: Defense attorney/Forensic assistant

Brief Physical Description: Her height reaches approximately 5'6'' (with heels on), her hair always immaculate in a stylish hairstyle while
using a pair of chopsticks that were a gift from one of her past clients, using them proudly giving her hair extra support and a fresh look.
Always trying to look properly at all times while in het times at the office or while questioning or talking to her current client, most of the time
he keeps her lab coat on as she doesn't have enough time to change to her lab uniform's coat, to avoid the trouble of wasting time while rushing up
to visit her client, having permission from her boss to leave the clinic because of her work priorities.
Wearing a stylish vest and a skirt to match along with a silk scarf remarking her slim neck and sometimes laying the end of the
scarf over her shoulders, also wearing a pair of artificially-colored gold bracelets on both wrists.
Alexis enjoys combining different colors of heels and lipstick once a week. Her eyes revealing a promising shade of grey-ish brown, and tends to be a victim of nervous tics showing more on her face and eyes,
blinking instinctively more often than usual could be the most obvious one.


Brief Personality Description: A woman with a determined and strong character, pretty easygoing among other people specially the ones very close to her,
although she tends to doubt herself on some special occasions, even worse on these darkened days, and fails to measure her voice-level properly when she gets desperate or anxious.
But Alexis always remember that you have to stay positive and trust your own client even in the most difficult days for a more productive outcome, that's how trust develops little by little.
She has peculiar ways of expressing herself, one of them is when she closes her eyes as she smiles gently, being an automatic gesture that implies that she feels comfortable with the
person she's talking to or sharing a space with.
Don't be fooled by her neutral expression, it may give the obvious illusion of her not wanting to have any company at all, but the main reason is
her total focus at her lab researches or while investigating a case, Alexis showing anger publicly is pretty rare,
only giving a small demonstration when the session gets somewhat difficult in the courtroom, or after days of non-productive investigations.
In the courtroom she can turn a little too strict, depending of the crime in discussion.


Connection to canon characters: After graduating from the Themis Legal Academy and participating in the mock-trial, (representating the successful generation of the students from the defense attorney class)
at the celebration of the end of their studies, ready to receive her title along with her classmates. But something else took her by surprise,
to be the one receiving the honor of a well-organized seminar hosted by the already-known Phoenix Wright, a pretty good role-model to look up to indeed.
Having the opportunity to learn a lot more about the new methods used within the court, having Pearl Fey (that she called her 'Alu' sometimes) and Athena Cykes to assist as she went to ask thousands
of questions, Alexis being a rather curious person, not for nothing also fulfilled her dream of working with a recognized forensic doctor in public research,
some of her researches being supported by the veteran defense attorney Marvin Grossberg who also contributed by giving her an office at the time she finally finished her studies,
but Alexis didn't enter in service after approximately five months, when she started her first real case showing her attorney badge proudly.
She was soon assisting Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes on investigating the murder of the detective Jean Terran.


Brief Background: Alexis grew up in the suburbs, spending most of her life with her adoptive parents and her two sisters,
Thanks to her older sister, Alexis gained so much interest in wanting to become a lawyer by all the times her sister talked about all the things or news-material
she had to report, most of them about political and social movements or facts that called the press interest every week,
including reports about frauds and murder/disappearances that remained unsolved or even fixed by the most talented attorneys in the area. That was the beggining
of her career. Along with her father's profession as forensic director, developing a joy towards chemistry and specially anatomy.
Before starting her main studies, Luana's father granted her backup assignatures, wanting the best preparation for her daughter in case
she considered the part-time job he offered to Alexis at the same clinic after her father retired.

She was being warned of the potential problems that she could face in the future, but Alexis was still determined to choose that career, she really wanted to become as large as
the same lawyers she saw in the reports her sister prepared for the press.
During her time studying at the Themis Legal Academy she could develop and perfectionate her oratory skills and leadership spirit over the first semesters,
a pack of abilities to receive easily the confidence of the person she was talking to, wanting to help or even guide them with her serious speech and easygoing attitude.
But within weeks of concluding the preparation of her career, she had a kind of rival prosecutor, less than a 'rival' to her, Alexis was just intrigued
about the way he acted, and the rumors about the means he worked with; someone who looked like a really tough guy which seemed to be a very difficult
person to talk to, or that was what she thought at their first meetings, Richard Flinn, a student from the prosecutor class who was her 'soon-to-be' rival at the mock-trial
during the graduation ceremony.
But after the incident during the mock-trial Alexis never saw Richard again until a few years later.
Alexis was looking in her older sister's stationer for a few of pictures that could be of vital use until she met with a familiar name, and checked more than
a couple of times just to be sure. It was an unreleased copy of last month's newspeaper that was still in check and under editing, but there it was. Richard Flinn
in the head of the newspaper; apparently, Richard managed to impact the legal world with his deeds as a prosecutor, she urged to look for more related news,
but unfortunately no copies with more of Richard's news had been directed to the public yet, not even in the "unpublished" stationer. Alexis clearly remembered the kind of means he was practicing years back at the Academy, and got the
pleasure to confron him in court a couple of times; already recognizing the same gestures, the same smile, and of course, the same sarcastic humor she was used to hear from Richard,
and also got to share her services at the lab for him once. The only and last time she accepted to help him,
not feeling pretty well with the idea of working with a person she suspects on, a person she thought that was only seen as a prodigy, someone who was soon consumed by his own darkened desires.

After two months, she found the article showing the death of her ex-colleague Jean terran. How curious, Detective Terran was actually
filtring Richard's fake evidence to the attorneys involved for them to be aware of what they're dealing with.

Spoiler: Jeni Lockworth
Entrant's Name: Pancake

Character's Name: Jeni Lockworth
Age: 17
Occupation: Private Detective

Brief Physical Description: Jeni has a light build and stands at 160cm tall. Her long brown hair hangs past the waist, with one braid on her right side. Her skin is light-toned and she has light brown eyes. Often wears semi-formal clothes consisting of a white unbuttoned blazer over a white dress shirt which is tucked into her red-brown skirt that hangs just below the knees. She carries a white purse around.

Brief Personality Description: Jeni is usually calm and straight-faced, taking her job as a detective seriously. She is naturally easy going and amiable, being young, and likes to aid people in any of their problems, but tends to keep her own problems to herself in a reserved manner. She can become easily irritated at anything silly or in bad humour. When she's deep in thought, and often is, she doesn't pay much attention to the area and people around her, annoyed briefly when distracted, only to come back to her senses when she remembers she's dealing with humans, showing a sensitive and empathetic side to her.

Since the death of her father, she tends to get stressed when it comes to difficult areas in her cases as she used to look up to his knowledge and insight to help solve the mysteries. But even as she ponders upon his murder, she gets re-motivated at the thought of avenging his death by catching the killer, becoming determined with a piqued air. "To put the bad guys where it gets bad" is a favourite line in these moods.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable):
Former assistant to Miles Edgeworth.

Brief Background: Jeni is American, born into a normal working family, although one that regularly indulged in mystery stories. She grew up interested in solving cases and even joined a sleuthing club in her high school, where her father was a physics professor, to be more active in the hobby and dream of becoming a detective. However, the dream became a nightmare when her father was mysteriously murdered when she was 16, his body and the killer both having disappeared with only witness accounts, blood, and a suspicious calling card being left.

Edgeworth at the time had been notified that Shelly de Killer's calling cards were showing up at several murders across the country, and at first speculated that the assassin was going on a murder spree. Jeni met Edgeworth at one of the crime scenes, while investigating up on the calling cards as one had been left at her father's murder. Edgeworth noticed that the cards were different, deducing that it was not de Killer's work or modus operandi. They catch the culprit who claims to have been a student of de Killer.

Awed by Edgeworth's genius, Jeni pestered the prosecutor into becoming his assistant in order to get better solving cases. Eventually she learned his logical way of thinking and even picked up a form of mild seriousness. Their connections broke though, when it was revealed the fake de Killer culprit was not the true culprit when the murders continued, and Jeni left with a troubled mind to find the real killer on her own, refusing Edgeworth's offers of assistance. She felt this was a personal matter to be dealt with her own hands.

Jeni then became a detective to hunt down the serial murderer, putting to practice what she learned from Edgeworth and her father to unravel the mystery behind his death and disappearance.

Spoiler: Oriana Caskey
Entrant's Name: Pancake

Character's Name: Oriana Caskey
Age: 16
Occupation: News Reporter

Brief Physical Description: A little shorter than Jeni at 155cm, Oriana has a slightly medium build. Her hair falls to the shoulder, and is clipped up on the right side of her face. Her eyes are brown and skin light-toned. She wears a dark brown double-buttoned coat secured with a belt, blue jeans, and brown boots.

Brief Personality Description: On the job, Oriana is an upbeat announcer, avidly reporting news details as reporters go. Her personality varies to the situation and as it can lead to dramatic acting, so Jeni has problems dealing with her calmly. Despite the charades, she is a critical thinker but often misses the obvious.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Acquainted with Lotta Hart and Nicole Swift.

Brief Background: Oriana grew up in an orphanage from 7 years old, not knowing her mother, and her father having been killed. The only family she knew was a 10 year old step-sister whose father had abandoned her. They grew up there together until her sister suddenly disappeared when Oriana was 16. Oriana decided to ditch the orphanage herself to search for her sister, whom she knew still bore ill-will against the father who abandoned her and her intent to obtain the benefits of his will by killing him.

To support herself, Oriana became a reporter with her own TV station Selfie News (SN), started by the aid of her journalist acquaintances, in order to gain freer movement around suspicious activities. During the self investigations, she heard about certain calling cards showing up at murders. Coming upon these crimes scenes, she discovered certain traits of the crime which she suspected to be her step-sister's doing. Concerned about these wild killings, Oriana continued to investigate the calling card murders.

On one of the scenes though, she ended up becoming a suspect. She was cleared of suspicion by Jeni's deductions, who was now working alone to catch the real murder culprit. Without reporter privileges, Oriana didn't know how to proceed next till she found that she and Jeni were after the same person. From then on, they banded together to uncover the murderer's intentions.

OC 1: Emily Cross
Spoiler:
Entrant's Name: Pidoodle

Character's Name: Emily Cross

Age: 20

Occupation: Prosecutor

Brief Physical Description: Pale blue eyes. Long, pale brown hair slightly pulled back. Wears her prosecutor's badge near her left temple. Dons her blazer like a cape, and her necktie has a crosshair design clipped onto the knot.

Brief Personality Description: An obsessive fan of the action-thriller genre, Emily Cross treats every moment like the climax. Her energy and competitiveness definitely give her momentum in the courtroom, but they also make her very draining to be around. She has a slew of self-proclaimed titles, and is the self-proclaimed rival of at least a dozen lawyers, though she'll declare a friendly rivalry with virtually anyone - even the judge.
She loves using her hands like guns, even dual-wielding and making uncannily realistic reload motions as necessary. In a pinch, she'll duck behind her table for cover. It all seems a bit excessive, but she claims she can't work well unless she treats the courtroom like a gunfight.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Rivals with... well, everyone. Currently aspiring to have pointier hair than Apollo.

Brief Background: Her father's a cop who's spent most of his career trying to pin down a particular crime ring. Though he's caught its members many times, corruption and trickery prevented the courts from dealing out guilty verdicts, motivating Emily to become a prosecutor.

Emily Cross works in the same firm as fellow OC Gabriel Clements. Her overbearing personality often makes it hard to get witnesses talking, forcing her to reluctantly swallow her pride and ask Gabriel to go and good-cop some information out of them. Still, he's a good rival, and Emily hopes to learn some of his questioning techniques.

OC 2: Gabriel Clements
Spoiler:
Entrant's Name: Pidoodle

Character's Name: Gabriel Clements

Age: 31

Occupation: Prosecutor, prison chaplain

Brief Physical Description: Blonde hair, blue eyes. Hair is a bit long and messy, but tame and modest. Wears a long, priestly-seeming robe, complete with a stole. Overall a pretty good-looking guy... but not as good-looking as you, probably!

Brief Personality Description: A devout prosecutor blessed with an honest and amiable personality. His warm smile, soothing voice, and never-ending compliments catch many off-guard, causing witnesses and suspects to happily answer his questions, and even defense attorneys to feel at ease with a guilty verdict. Though it might seem like he's being pandering, his words are completely sincere and meant to be encouraging. He really is just an unusually agreeable person by nature.

Brief Background: After seeing his father and best friend turn to crime, Gabriel became a prison chaplain who quickly succeeded in reforming many inmates. He's since taken up prosecution, believing that a guilty verdict is a criminal's first step to a changed life.

Gabriel Clements works in the same firm as fellow OC Emily Cross. Their perspective on criminals are vastly different, but he respects Emily's noble zeal for justice, and hopes others will follow in her good example.

Spoiler: OC #1
Beware of the big tartine!

Character's Name: Gustav Von Karma
Age: 35 (end of PW arc)
Occupation: International Prosecutor (presumed dead)

Brief Physical Description: Gustav is a good-looking man, quite tall (1,86m) with broad shoulders. He has blue sapphire eyes under eyebrows which end in small curls. He wears his long silver plum hair tied in catogan (sort of ponytail) and has sideburns.
His impressive silhouette, his serious face and his chic in Von Karma's way intimidate easily his opponents whose he impose naturally respect. He's always pleasant and he perfectly masters frozen smiles - that means smiling while taking people down a peg or two, but still politely.
The brooch he wears is a present from Claudia. He lost his right forearm in the Bengal jungle and has replaced it by a bionic arm even if it cannot be seen, because he always wears gloves.

Brief Personality Description: The expression "an iron fist in a silk glove" applies perfectly to Gustav's personality, both in the literal and figurative senses. He's always very courteous in any case and behaves like a perfect gentleman. As a Von Karma, he's uncompromising, he likes to get things right, rigor, meticulous and well executed work, and hates when the situation slides out of his control, otherwise he never let himself be pushed around and never gives up until things return to normal. He's also a man of integrity, upright and honest with a strong sense of justice, as well as he's a stickler about principles. The most important thing in what he puts his honour at stake is to punish criminals and to ensure that justice is served. He challenges his opponents to a duel by slapping their face with his glove.
Due to his work he has to travel a lot which allows him to discover new countries and cultures. He speaks fluently about twenty different languages. Whenever he has time between two cases -and planes- he takes the opportunity to visit the place, to tour the local curiosities and museums, and if there were any to explore archaeological sites, most often by taking part to the dig.


Connection to canon characters: Gustav is Franziska's Austrian cousin, his father is Manfred's brother, so Manfred is his uncle. As only child Gustav consider Franziska as a little sister even though he's much older than her. He's quite crazy about his "little cutie lady Franzy" and always pampered her. Gustav is also Franziska's favorite cousin and she admires his skill as prosecutor. He made Miles Edgeworth's acquaintance after he was adopted by Manfred. The young Miles devote an intense admiration to Gustav who became quickly his model and encouraged him to become prosecutor.
Franziska was only 10 when Gustav disappeared, before that he entrust Miles (who was 17) to take care of Franzy. When Gustav came back nine years later everybody thought that he was dead. He was furious to discover that Miles broke his promise and made Franzy cry by letting her behind.

Brief Background: Gustav started his career as international prosecutor in Austria at the age of 18. Two years later he became an international prosecutor and got very soon a worldwide reputation as genius prosecutor (as any good Von Karma. Obviously). He had to deal with increasingly important files in collaboration with Interpol or Foreign Ministry, such as cases about terrorism or war criminals.
He met Claudia during one of this cases for which they had to work together. She was so brilliant that he considered her as his equal, and then after get to know her, he fell in love with her. It was luckily mutual love, and a few years after they got engaged to each other. The eve of the wedding day Gustav met Claudia who gave him her precious brooch. It was the last present she ever gave to him: she was found dead in the afternoon of the same day. As he couldn't believe the suicide-accident theory Gustav asked to open an inquiry that won't come off because of a lack of suspect and evidences.
Still under the shock of Claudia's death, Gustav neglected his work at the prosecutor's office and decided to pursue his own investigation. He discovered that Claudia's brooch had a false bottom and contained a microSD card. Once decrypted he accessed a big file about an organization called "Black River" which most businesses were illegal, mainly poaching, theft and trade of jewels, fur and other things for the fashion and haute-couture industry. Not very and badly known by the police force they're related to some unexplained death and disappearance finely stifled and forgotten. Claudia's data file listed the activities, victims, clients and even some members of the Black River organization. Realizing how much powerful and influent was Black River as well as understanding the motivations behind Claudia's murder, Gustav decided to follow the quest of his bride in order to dismantle the network and make the criminals be found guilty.
A year of investigations later he boarded anonymously a cargo going poach to India, but was unmasked off the Bangladesh coast. He managed only just to swim and run away deep in the Bengal jungle. There he was confronted with a huge tiger which was absolutely not inclined to share its territory with a human being on the run - not even if he's a genius prosecutor because it doesn't care at all. Every time that Gustav and the tiger encountered each other in the jungle they had a fight but no one had the upper hand. Over time a mutual respect arose and they let the other one go, each in his own territory.
Few months later the jungle was upset by poachers' arrival. In wishing to protect Gustav the tiger already injured caught him by the arm and dragged him to a safe place. Before to collapse the tiger killed and put to flight the rest of poachers. Gustav also realized that he wasn't alone to have been protected when a small baby white tiger came out whine to its mother's body. He swore to protect and raise the young of his friend which he gave the name Tigrou.
Years passed and both of them joined a village of indigenous people where a faith healer examined the wound on Gustav's arm that he had to amputate. Because of his affinity with Tigrou and its strange color the native nicknamed Gustav "Man-Tiger". Then one day people from the World Wildlife Fund came to the village in order to rest before continuing their mission. They helped Gustav - who disappeared without trace and was reported missing then left for dead - to be repatriate with Tigrou. Once back to the modern civilization Gustav got his bionic arm as substitution for the old one and went back on the trail of Black River. He traced this way to a certain Vincent K. Prince and to his own family with a certain lady Von Karma...

Spoiler: OC #2
Character's Name: Claudia Mond
Age: 23 when deceased in 2008

Occupation: Prosecutor - Deceased 


Brief Physical Description: Claudia has a sweet angel face with golden eyes and wavy chestnut hair tied in a half-ponytail. She usually dresses in simple and elegant clothing. She never separates from her diamond brooch which is a family inheritance, in memory of his deceased parents.

In court she always keeps her calm and a cool head, always smiling while explaining the facts with calm, patience and an implacable logic the same way she would explains things to a child. The Judge is always pleased by Claudia's demonstrations because he understands always everything easily.
Hard worker and studious Claudia is also a fighter and never bears up. She is for the fourth consecutive year arm-wrestling champion, and she even defeated Gustav several times.


Brief Background: Claudia was studying law at the time when her parents died in tragic-mysterious circumstances. She decided to become prosecutor in order to bring this case and its mysteries to light. Claudia's parents were zoologists and worked as active members in international organizations for animals and endangered species like the WWF. In fact they were killed by members of the Black River organization because they became a problem for their poaching business.
Black River's most businesses were illegal, mainly poaching, theft and trade of jewels, fur and other things for the fashion and haute-couture industry. Not very and badly known by the police force they're related to some unexplained death and disappearance finely stifled and forgotten.
During her investigations she discovered a thin link between this case and the family Von Karma. She met Gustav shortly thereafter and decided to approach him thinking that she could get more informations, however she soon discovers that he knows nothing. Despite everything she fell deeply in love with him and accepted his marriage proposal with a sincere joy.
She intended to reveal everything to him after the wedding and to ask him for help in her inquiry. She felt threatened by Black River because she knew a lot of sensitive information about it that she encrypted and brought into a microSD card hidden in the false bottom of her brooch. On the eve of the wedding she gave her brooch to Gustav in order to secure it.
Unfortunately she would never be able to reveal the secret of her brooch to her lover because she was murdered in the evening.

Spoiler: OC #3
Character's Name: Tigrou Von Karma
Age: 8 (end of PW arc) 

Occupation: Eat people & Roar


Brief Physical Description: Tigrou is a quite big white male Bengal tiger with blue eyes. He wears the same bow as Franziska's one.


Brief Personality Description: Tigrou is not just a giant fluffy plush he has also a sturdy character: headstrong he always just suits himself and hates somebody giving him orders. He follows as well instructions when they're given politely, in due form and showing tact. He doesn't allow people to show any disrespect to him, otherwise he terrorize them making them think that he will eat them. But he would never do that because he knows that will give problems to Gustav and above all because he tasted human flesh one day and found it absolutely not to his taste - not enough refined, sigh.
Tigrou is a very clever tiger who exactly knows how to take advantage of the situation, when he should do his cutie kitty eyes in order to get more meat, for example. On the other hand he's not very patient. He loves playing - in his own tiger way - with people he likes and chewing arms or legs of the ones he sees as non-dominant characters.


Connection to canon characters: Franziska's pet tiger and faithful companion, present of Gustav. He loves to chew Gumshoe's leg and sleep on the couch of Edgeworth's office.


Brief Background: Tigrou is the Gustav's tigress friend young. He saw his mother die, killed by the poachers of Black River. Then he was adopted and raised by Gustav in the Bengal jungle before going to live together in an indigenous village. Since his early age Tigrou is used to live in human's company and grew up like a big cat or dog but XXL sized, so he's more civilized than a wild tiger and also not so discreet, timid and solitary.
Because of his personality he reminds Gustav of Franziska, that's why he told him very often stories about his cousin, so Tigrou heard and knew a lot of Franzy and couldn't wait to see her. At last when he met her they quickly became friend and attached to each other. Tigrou wouldn't part company from Franzy so he decided to stay with her against the promise of looking after her as well as being her bodyguard. Though Tigrou was sad to leave Gustav who was like a father for him, and he's very happy to see him every time he visits them.

Spoiler: OC #4
Character's Name: Vincent K. Prince, also known as "Black Gem"
Age: ??
Occupation: Corrupted defense Attorney and member of the "Black River" organization

Brief Physical Description: Slender and tall, he's obsessed by his physical appearance and spend at least 2 hours to doll himself up and admire himself in the mirror every morning. He takes the greatest of care to set his jet-black hair and choose his clothes so that his beautiful alabaster complexion and his thin face with the same gray eyes as his mother are shown to their advantage.

Brief Personality Description: Under his honeyed manners, Vincent is a true rot. Guileful, hypocrite and vicious, he always makes use of weaknesses of his opponents. He loves to look melodramatic in order to be under the projectors. He seems very hyper self-confident but in fact he's a wimp and a chicken, he never put himself too much in danger (for fear of breaking a nail).

Connection to canon characters: He's the illegitimate bastard son of Ursula Von Karma and consequently Franziska's half brother. He doesn't know who's his father but he likes imagining that he's a rich and powerful man. Neither Franziska nor Manfred are aware of Vincent's existence, well-kept secret by Ursula. On the other hand, Vincent knows his half-sister by sight because he watched her furtively before in the garden of the Von Karma's estate.

Brief Background: As illegitimate child, Vincent grew up in the shadow and had a troubled childhood. In the age of adolescence he chose a future work which had nothing to do with the prosecutor Von Karma tradition: fashion photographer. Trough his mother - he sometimes accompanied her to work - he had his first contact with Black River. Soon after he became member of the organization and made a career change in order to study law and become defense attorney serving Black River. As good as wily he excels in this field that suits him perfectly.
He chose his family name himself (because he doesn't know who is his father) and he arranged to keep the initial of the name Von Karma in it.

Spoiler: OC #5
Character's Name: Ursula Von Karma, also known as "Black Rose"

Age: 61 (end of PW arc) 

Occupation: Fashion designer of haute couture, and regular client of the "Black River" organization


Brief Physical Description: Ursula has grey eyes that she passed to her children, and always permed platinum blond dyed short hair. Due to her work she lives in a certain level of luxury that she loves to flaunt by wearing very precious adornment and jewelry. She's always at the height of elegance and uses many cosmetics (and facelifts) in order to conceal her real age.


Brief Personality Description: Curt, cold and distant, she's a clever and manipulative woman. The only things that she likes are wealth, jewelry, and lovely adornments (taste she passed to her son, by the way), and also to give orders and then see them executed in the greatest perfection.


Connection to canon characters: Ursula is Manfred's wife - actually widow. As it was an arranged marriage there was never any love within the Von Karma couple, and it's not yet known how they managed to have two daughters together: Franziska and her elder sister. Ursula had a lover who gave her an illegitimate son: Vincent. It was very easy to hide her pregnancy from Manfred because he was away from mansion most of the time, working abroad. She just had to buy the silence of servants that she then dismissed and replaced.
She never paid any attention to Edgeworth during the time he was raised by Manfred.

Brief Background: Ursula's family worked long-standing in the fashion industry as one of the biggest companies in the market. She became naturally fashion designer even if she didn't really had to work because of the fortune of her family, and specialized in haute couture. She was raised in a bourgeois household but full of lies and dissimulation, her parents cheated on each other and were mutually hypocritical. As a result she had to make herself by herself, she learned everything by herself and found her own solution to went out this situation.
Her work brought a lot a money and she continued to accumulate more and more wealth, regardless of means. She became so a regular customer of Black River.

The father couldn’t stand it anymore and one day he left the home and didn’t come back. The family’s financial situation worsened from that moment. They barely made the ends meet. There wasn’t enough money for mother’s treatment, thus the illness advanced. Ares took the “Head of the family” role. He studied law and when he wasn’t learning he worked. Sadly the mother passed away, leaving the house and assets to her kids. After Ares graduated college he couldn’t find constant work, so he was forced to sell his home and with his siblings he traveled to America. There Jessika was accused of murder. Thanks to Lulu, Apollo Justice was her lawyer, that’s how Ares found out about “Wright Anything Agency” where, soon after applying for a job, he was hired. He has few successful cases on his account.

Hope you will appreciate my work! I put all my heart into it!

Entrant's Name: A.
Entrant's Website: http://nimpnawakproduction.tumblr.com

Spoiler:
Character's Name: Buck and Ronnie Pixies
Age: 17 (twins)
Occupation: High school students

Brief Physical Description: With their snub nose, pointed ears and their shinny almond eyes, they look like elves or imps straight out of a tale. They wear a traditional-like Scottish outfit that matched their flamboyant red hair. They seem to be part of the punk community with their hairstyle though. They’re quite short for their age (only 1m63).

Brief Personality Description: Together in mostly all circumstances, it’s difficult to make the difference between the two of them. As their name suggests, they’re mischievous, sneaky and never miss a chance to playing pranks (one of their favorite is to play with the fact that nobody can tell for sure whom is who). They’re also a little short-tempered. They’re often nicknamed «Puck» and «Brownie» instead of  «Buck» and «Ronnie», referring to their impish behaviour.
When they’re together, they’re really confident and are not afraid to claim their way of thinking, even if they’re shorter than a majority of the people with whom they interact. They have the same reactions and mirrored each other. For example, when they’re angry, one arm is ready to throw a punch while the other hold back the fist of his brother. With their wild personality, it’s nearly impossible to control them. The only ones who seem to have some authority on them are their grandmother (according to their claims) and Sven. They seem quite proud of their hairstyle, so hairdressers are their natural enemies. One stare from Sven with a click of his scissors and they calm down immediately.
However, when they’re separate, their personality and behaviour differ a lot: Buck is more confident and also mentally stronger than his brother. He also get mad more easily. Ronnie is calmer, less talkative and feel completely lost without his brother.

Connection to the other OCs: They’re all regulars of the library and were all present when the murder occurred. The twins also know Daisy from primary school, she was their teacher back then.

Connection to canon characters: Trucy seems to know them from school. It will be revealed during the trial that they’re fans of her work as a magician and often go see her performances at the Wonder bar.

Brief Background: They grow up in the area of the Wright Anything Agency. Raised with the marvellous stories of their grandmother, they got fond of book at a young age. Regular at their local library, they very well knew the victim. It occurred during a party celebrating the librarian’s retirement, Ms. Brook Schelf. The latter was poisoned and her assistant, Mr. Wong Li Akused, was charged with the murder. They were in the same room at the time of the murder and witnessed the very moment of the victim’s death. During the trial, the judge had the unexpected ability to recognize them: he can tell with exactitude which twin is Buck and which is Ronnie. This fact grants him the respect of the twins.

Quotes: In chorus: "We heard nothing, saw nothing, said nothing!"
Prosecutor:"Buck!" Buck:"-Yes?" P: "-No! The other!"

She have a mole under her right eye, in the middle of her cheek. Quite curvy and elegant, she wore red lipstick and red nail-polish. She wears a blue dress with a yellow shirt underneath. The upper and bottom part of her dress remind the form of flower petals.

Brief Personality Description: She’s self-conscious about her appearance and she’s quite ashamed by the upper part of her face. She’s a figure of authority when her eyes are hidden but her true personality arises when they’re shown. She’s a good teacher and knows how to be respected by children, but one word about her eyebrows or her eyes and she completely loses her composure. However, she absolutely treasures her hair. It’s her pride and joy. One sudden movement toward her and she immediately fears that you’re aiming for her hair (even if it’s only for shake hand). When it happens, she grabs all her hair and hold it tight to protect it. For that matter, she’s terrified by Sven. She can’t look at him in the eyes and cries with fear every time he holds up his scissors. Despite all of that, she’s a lovely woman.

Connection to the other OCs: They’re all regulars of the library and were all present when the murder occurred. The twins also know Daisy from primary school, she was their teacher back then.

Connection to canon characters: None.

Brief Background: After her childhood dream (becoming a famous top-model) get crushed, she chose to become a teacher. She was raised in a family with many children and always enjoyed to teach to the little ones. The library is the place where she prepares and readies her lessons.

The logo of his shop is on the bottom corner of it (it’s a golden strand of hair in a S shape with a scissor next to it).

Brief Personality Description: Calm and cool-headed in every circumstances, Sven is an imperturbable guy. His answers are often mono-syllabic and even in Polish sometimes. Instead of « yes » or « no », he says « tak » or « nie » for example. Contrary to the appearance, he’s a sensible guy who likes to read poetry and he liked to share a cup of tea with the victim from time to time when he came to the library.
Dedicated to his work, he likes when a haircut is neat and flawless. Every strand of hair whose passing by his eyes will be cut if you’re not warned. He’s quite fascinated by Daisy’s hair and thinks that the twin‘s haircut is a blasphemy. He even nicknamed them « the little rats » for that matter. His obsession with hair applies everywhere he goes and lawyer hairstyles are not spared. If someone displeases him, he’ll threaten him to cut his/her hair. Phoenix’s spikes, Miles’ strands, Athena's pigtail, Apollo's antennas, Simon's or Gavin’s ponytail and even the Judge's beard were endangered during the trial.

Connection to the other OCs: They’re all regulars of the library and were all present when the murder occurred.

Connection to canon characters: Apparently, Apollo got traumatized by this guy when he was younger. He’s scared of hairdressers ever since.

Brief Background: He was raised in Poland and seems to have been part of the army back then. The way he swings his arms when he readies his comb remind the way you reload a gun. He moved out in America for an unknown reason at the age of 30 and became an hairdresser. He never explained why. He’s a book lover since childhood and go to the library mostly every day. He was a close acquaintance of the victim.

Quotes: "..."
holding up his scissors "You're sweating, attorney. Want a haircut to refresh your head? I can cut them. Very. Very. Very short."

Entrant's Name: Lilac Winters

Character's Name: Kalina Salva
Age: 23
Occupation: Defense Attorney
Brief Physical Description: Kalina has long, whimsical, wavy blond hair and large, innocent looking blue eyes. Her typical outfit is green dress with white buttons and a pink sash with cute pink flats to match.
Brief Personality Description: Kalina is a dreamy book lover and writer who is often off in her own world, though she can stay focused in court (most of the time). She is a fairly shy, quiet person until something (such as the plight of an innocent defendant) gets her upset. When that happens, watch out, because Kalina on a warpath is a thing to be feared. She always sees the best in people, and never believes anything bad about her friends (even if it's true). She is a very emotional person, and her emotions often get the better of her. She also is extremely intelligent, and loves solving logic puzzles. In court, she often quotes or makes references to famous books.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): When she was a teenager, Phoenix was her role model, and she is now part of the Wright Anything Agency. She is good friends with Athena and Trucy, and has a secret crush on Apollo.
Brief Background: Kalina and Electra are fraternal twins. Though they seemed to be total opposites, they spent many childhood hours together finding puzzles and solving them together. In fact, the two were best friends as children, but their relationship shattered when their father was murdered. Both girls were 16 at the time, and were present at the trial, when their older brother, Brad, was convicted of poisoning him. He was executed four years later. Kalina always believed that her brother was innocent, and becomes a defense attorney to protect innocent people like him. As soon as she passes the bar test, she joins the Wright Anything Agency, because they always seem to defend those with the odds against them. Kalina's first client is her old friend, Melinda, who is accused of murder. Apollo goes with Kalina to question Melinda, and he discovers that when Melinda says she is innocent, his bracelet reacts. He pulls Kalina aside and tells her not to defend Melinda because she is guilty, but Kalina reacts angrily and asks him what happened to believing in the client, and says she will defend her anyway. When the case goes to court, Electra is the prosecutor, and Kalina loses badly. Melinda admits to the crime and laughs at Kalina for believing her innocence. After the trial is over, Apollo finds Kalina crying about her friend's betrayal and comforts her. After that, she only takes clients who really are innocent, and she fits in well into the Wright Anything Agency.

Character's Name: Electra Vindictia
Age: 23
Occupation: Prosecutor
Brief Physical Description: Electra has long black hair with an electric blue streak and green eyes. She keeps her hair swept up into a high, functional ponytail so that it isn't in the way. Her typical outfit is a sleeveless silver jacket with a blue power button symbol, black pants, and comfortable, blue-trimmed grey sneakers. She also never leaves home without her high-tech smart watch.
Brief Personality Description: Electra is an abrupt and, on the surface, emotionless, person. When she gets bored (which is often, even in court) she will often ignore the proceedings and begin playing games on her smart watch. She is an extremely techy person, a video game lover, and a computer programmer on the side. Electra does not get worked up and angry easily, but when she does, she will hold a grudge forever. She is sarcastic and scornful of anyone who cannot keep up with her mentally, an attitude that has cost her many friends. Like her sister, she is very intelligent and also has a love of logic puzzles. In court, she will sometimes speak in video game jargon, making metaphors comparing the events of a trial to completing a speed run of a game, beating a boss, or some other such phrase.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Electra works under Edgeworth, but she doesn't know him personally. She is also acquainted with Klavier Gavin through work. Though he has repeatedly asked her out, she has always said no because she considers him an irritating and arrogant person.
Brief Background: When Brad is convicted, Electra believes in the overwhelming evidence of his guilt, and is angry at her sister for believing in him. She is also angry at Brad himself for committing the murder, and refuses to even go to his funeral. When she is 18 she leaves home to go to law school, and she changed her last name to get rid of any affiliation with her family. She becomes a prosecutor mainly because of her anger at her brother for being guilty, and chooses her new last name in the same line; Vindictia comes from the Latin word vindicta, meaning revenge. After she leaves home, she has no contact with her mother or sister until her first trial, when she goes up against Kalina in court. She barely acknowledges that Kalina is her sister during the case, and afterwards feels a sense of vindictive satisfaction at her sister's unfailing faith being proven wrong. Later, in another case between her and Kalina, a witness confesses to a string of murders including not only the case on trial, but also the murder of their father. Hearing this, Electra faints from the shock that the main thing that has shaped her for the past seven years is a lie. When she wakes up, she's sitting in an unused defendant's lobby with Kalina next to her. Electra starts crying, and Kalina comforts her. They talk about their paths to where they are now, and how both of them were wrong in some way. They leave the room promising to act like sisters again, and their former relationship is restored. That night, Electra visits her brother's grave, something she's never done before, and lays flowers on it, as a way to say she’s sorry.

Entrant's Name: Iris-Ciel44
Entrant's Website: N/I

Spoiler: Character 1
Character's Name: Adelma Foris
Age: 30
Occupation: Doctor

Brief Physical Description:
She is of average build and height. She is notable for having a baby face, therefore she looks younger than she really is. She has curly dull green hair that falls down to her upper back. She wears a maroon gown fastened close at the abdominal area. Underneath the gown she wears what appears to be an "underdress". The gown has ruffles at the edge of the long sleeves, and gold and brown lining at the elbow part and at the hem of the skirt. There is a maroon ribbon at the chest part of the dress, and a gold ribbon each at the elbows. There is a large maroon ribbon hair clip on her hair. Her eyes are brown.

Brief Personality Description: Despite her shy appearance face-wise, she is not at all shy. She is simply calm, demure, refined, ladylike, friendly and passionate about almost anything she does. However, this passion is most often obscured by her reserved demeanor. It shows at the quality of her work though; She does most anything with love and passion many people get impressed by the results. She always leaves her plate clean during dining time, and when she does her job as a doctor, she always sees to it that her patients don't leave her clinic without getting checked for other possible illnesses and deficiencies. Her home is very neat and tidy, and she likes to be of service so much she tends to become quite invasive of others' business. Her usual calmness goes away only when desperation strikes (ex: when she is accused of something she didn't do). She suddenly becomes the impulsive no none-sense type who shows her emotions in an over the top manner to make all of her points across as soon as possible.

Connection to canon characters: None.

Brief Background:
She graduated high school at Los Angeles and left for Europe to study college and medicine. Sometime after she graduated medicine, she began to hear of a place called "Labyrinthia", which people said to be an alternate dimension found in a mysterious book, or, as some people claim, a world that can be accessed by doing something near a certain wall at London. As she investigated upon this mysterious place, she somehow ended up being in the city itself. Enjoying the seemingly backward culture and the overall medieval feel of the place, she decided to stay and put up her own clinic there.

However, in the hands of misfortune, she was accused of witchcraft for no apparent reason. People won't believe her when she tried to explain that the arcane circles hidden throughout her clinic are there merely to serve as puzzles for waiting clients to solve to kill time. She became the defendant in the witch trial held the next day.

Spoiler: Character 2
Character's Name: Edana
Age: 25
Occupation: Maid

Brief Physical Description:
She is rather lean, but she is of average height. She has light dull red (almost pink) medium length unruly hair typically braided. She wears a dull green dress with white elbow length sleeves over which she wears an apron. She has a white cloth tied around the back of her head in the style of a bonnet and short brown boots for her shoes. Her eyes are gold.

Brief Personality Description: As her name implies, she has a fiery impulsive personality. She is far from violent and unpredictable, however, as it is mostly only her hyperactive and energetic side that shows most of the time. She may appear tomboyish sometimes, but she will always deny this. When she feels mellow negative emotions like sadness or worry, she tends to hide them, but when she is forced to reveal them, her impulsive side comes out and becomes notably emotionally sensitive. She is also quite paranoid, overly savvy, and jumps to conclusions way too soon.

Connection to canon characters: Former co-worker of Patty Eclaire

Brief Background:
She is born of commoner parents and therefore grew up as a commoner. When one of her parents died, she decided to work and train under Patty Eclaire as a baker. One day, a rich young man personally bought some bread from the bakery. As soon as the rich person saw Edana as the latter gave the bread the former ordered, the former offered the latter a job as a maid in his manor in exchange for free food and accommodation. Seeing this as an opportunity, Edana immediately accepted the offer and soon left Patty's bakery.

One day, while she was cleaning the lobby of the manor, she encountered one of her fellow maids fall unconscious. She immediately told this to the rich young man and therefore the rich young man allowed her to fetch her fellow maid to the doctor. In the doctor's clinic, in the waiting room, while her fellow maid was being examined, she found things she's never seen before, things that came all the way from Los Angeles, a place which she didn't know existed. After looking around further, she found an arcane circle hidden behind the sofa. That night, sometime after the fellow maid was brought back to the manor, Edana went out for a walk and witnessed a crime done by witchcraft. Recognizing the arcane circle to be very similar to the one she found in the clinic, she reported that she knows who could've done the crime. She became one of the witnesses in the witch trial held two days later.

TRIVIA:
* Adelma means "noble", hinting that Adelma Fortis is rich and considered a noble in Labyrinthia.
* Fortis means "outside" or "from a foreign land", hinting that Adelma Fortis is not a native of Labyrinthia despite looking like one.
* Edana means "fiery", in accordance to Edana's energetic and impulsive personality.
* Adelma has green hair and red dress while Edana has red hair and green dress, and Adelma is calm while Edana is hyper. Also, Adelma is rich and Edana is just a commoner. They are quite the opposites.

This is my first contest entry in C-R. Be lenient to me!!

I find that Ace Attorney lacks younger male characters, so here's my entry!!

Fun facts about my OCs:

- They are all from a big city near where Phoenix Wright lived.
- They are all the members of a secret group known to children called the Society Defenders, a group of children who pretend to be lawyers who defend young defendants in the neighbourhood where they lived. They usually hold trials after school at the abandoned storeroom in the neighbourhood middle school.
- Their nicknames are only known to close friends.

- He always wanted to help the people around him, so he created a team called the Society Defenders, which is simply a non-profit group who volunteers to help the kids in his neighbourhood who were in trouble of being accused. In order to get them out, Rentarou and his friends made a 'trial' similar to the one Phoenix Wright did by proving the clients innocent or guilty. He was totally inspired by Phoenix because of how he helped out his clients.

Spoiler: Flora Mellow
Entrant's Name: Richelle81995
Entrant's Website: (optional)
Character's Name: Flora Mellow
Age: 40
Occupation: Prosecutor
Brief Physical Description:
Flora Mellow is a woman in her forties that mentally is in her twenties, and that shows in the way she looks and the way she dresses. She’s in good shape and is about 1.80 meters. She has long, brown hair that’s usually braided and flops up sideways and her eyes are sparkling green. Her sense of style is coherent to her mental state: vibrant and colorful. She likes dresses and accessories, but she would look good in anything, really. She’s a big fan of all sorts of patterns (preferably flowers and suns) and she’s a big fan of 70’s clothing.
Brief Personality Description:
Flora Mellow is a woman in her forties that mentally is in her twenties, and that shows in the way she acts. She is a really big fan of Flower Power and some may even call her a hippie. She has a very bright personality and likes to be in the center of attention. Also, she often tries to show that she cares for her children, but to be fair: she’s not that good of a mom. The will to take care of people is there but her attempts always get messed up one way or another. The best way to describe Flora’s personality is: happy-go-lucky. This sometimes makes her job pretty hard, as she’s not able to go all the way and be as cold as is needed of her, but you can always count on her to try to fight for what feels right, whatever way she needs to act.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): She has no connection to canon characters, but she is the mother of Blaine and Sally (see next descriptions).
Brief Background:
Flora grew up in a typically hippie family and she felt right at home. Her parents never pushed her to get an actual job and thus they were very surprised when Flora stated that she wanted to become a lawyer. “I can’t deny that there’s always evil somewhere in this world and all I want for this world is to have peace.” So, to get to World Peace, she became a prosecutor so that she could ‘throw the bad guys in jail’. When she got older, she realized that this job meant so much more than what she initially thought it would mean and it made it all the better. To this day, she’s proud to say that she’s a prosecutor, although a very unique one.


Spoiler: Blaine Mellow
Entrant's Name: Richelle81995
Entrant's Website: (optional)
Character's Name: Blaine Mellow
Age: 18
Occupation: Detective
Brief Physical Description:
Blaine Mellow fits the Ace Attorney series to a T: Broad shoulders, very lengthy (about 1.75 m) and very muscular. He has black hair that falls in front of one of his eyes. Those eyes are light brown but in this particular shade of brown that most people think it’s gold. He likes to wear clothes that fit his body neatly and that cover as much skin as possible. His name means ‘yellow’, so he likes to wear touches of yellow in his clothing. Now that he has become a detective, he likes to wear this sash-like thing on his torso.
Brief Personality Description:
Blaine Mellow is a very introvert guy. He mostly likes to keep to himself and doesn’t let on much, which makes people think that he’s either angry or grumpy (which he sometimes is… but not always). This is the reason people seem to want to avoid him as much as possible, and this is something Blaine seems to be perfectly fine with. There’s one person who annoys him gargantually: his mother. He feels like his mother ‘babies’ him when he can already stand on his own two feet. The guy’s officially an adult, you know! The one thing he hates the most is her calling him her ‘Sun’ (as in… you know… son) or sometimes ‘Sunshine’. The one thing that people misjudge him on the most is that they think he’s arrogant: he totally isn’t! He just… doesn’t like people that much.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): He has no connection to canon characters, but he is Flora’s son.
Brief Background:
Blaine always wanted to become a detective ever since he could understand what a ‘detective’ was. He’s very smart and very determined. His whole life was dedicated to this one dream. All he wants is to be a Man (with a capital M!) that’s gonna take care of himself and be the best detective the world has ever seen. This summer, he finally graduated from the Police Academy and it is said that Blaine actually smiled for at least an hour. As you might know, Ace Attorney detectives get tied up with prosecutors. On the first day of work, they told him which prosecutor they tied him up with… his mother. (Of all the people they could choose… they chose HER?!)“My Sun is going to be my detective? Yay! We’re gonna have so much fun together, Blainey!” “Ugh… MOM…!”


Spoiler: Sally Mellow
Entrant's Name: Richelle81995
Entrant's Website: (optional)
Character's Name: Sally Mellow
Age: 10
Occupation: None
Brief Physical Description:
Sally is a very slender, little girl. Everyone loves the Aura of Cuteness she radiates. She has blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. It’s easy to see that she’s going to grow up into a pretty little lady. Sally is tremendously into cosplaying. Her favorite cosplay outfit is that of a brown with white cat, based on a cat they once had in her previous home: Lilah.
Brief Personality Description:
Sally is not actually blood related to either Flora or Blaine. Despite that, she meticulously adopted the happy-go-lucky life her foster mother leads. She is very sweet, cute and lovely and she would never hurt a fly. Like Flora, she is very caring, but whereas Flora has the intention to be caring, Sally actually IS caring and GOOD at it. She always manages to make people happy when they feel down and heal them when they’re wounded. Blaine gets annoyed by his mother and her attitude pretty easily, but he actually has a big soft spot for his little sister and he will do anything in his power for her. In return, Sally is very dedicated to her big brother, always trying to make him smile.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable):
Sally is actually a former inhabitant of Kurain Village, although she has no spiritual power. It is unknown who her biological parents are.
Brief Background:
As earlier stated, Sally used to live in Kurain Village. This is also where Lilah (the cat) lived. At the age of 5, Flora Mellow adopted her when she visited Kurain Village for a case she was on at that time. Although she’s very happy with Flora and Blaine, Sally misses Kurain Village from time to time. Those times got less frequent the older she got, but still: The fact that she likes to cosplay as Lilah the most, shows that she indeed misses Kurain Village… maybe more than her happy façade lets on. Once a year, Flora and Sally travel to Kurain Village to meet up with the inhabitants. It is said that Sally gets very emotional whenever she’s there, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Entrant's Name: Salavarrieta


Spoiler: Andrei Saint-Stix
Character's Name: Andrei Saint-Stix
Age: 28
Occupation: Roboticist
Brief Physical Description: A young man, with black hair, part of it being golden-tinted. Normally has goggles on his head, for his protection when working. Wears the lab coat issued to him, along with a light purple shirt, black pants and brown shoes

Brief Personality Description:

Andrei tends to come as friendly and open-minded, but he is way too naive for his age. He doesn't have anything bad to say about anybody, instead chooses to remark on all the good qualities they have, blatantly ignoring even the defects that are in plain sight or are directed to him, which sometimes leads to people losing the patience towards him.

He also tends to be rather protective of his androids, giving them pet names and refusing to let people interact with them. He claims he strives to create androids that someday will be indispensable for everyday life, although he seems to have rather outlandish concepts of what is 'everyday life'.

However he still shares the trait his siblings have: an endless ambition and hunger for success.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): None, besides being a defendant.

Brief Background:

Second sibling of the Saint-Stix family, a family who emigrated into the country from Belgium. Specializing in robotics, Andrei is the only one of the siblings who has managed to get recognition for his job, and the scientific community has high expectations on what he'll be capable to do in the future.

He works in the Saint-Stix laboratories, along with his assistant, often collaborating with his siblings in some of his projects. However, he unknowingly steals the spotlight only for himself, which has led to some rough moments with the other two siblings and the Assistants.

At the time of the case, he and his siblings were working on what they called 'The Biological Androids Project'

Link to entry: http://s874.photobucket.com/user/SAnyon ... 1.jpg.html

Other data: His name, as it may have been noticed, comes from 'android', while his surname is formed by a modification of the phonetic sounds of the word 'scientist'.

His goggles are made by himself, and have a few functions beyond being eye protection. He could talk for hours about everything that led to its creation, if prompted.

After getting arrested for the murder of his sister Alkaly's assistant, he often remarks about how somebody unrelated to the laboratory must be the real murderer, and refuses to speak anything that could remotely point the finger of suspicion to his siblings or the other Assistants.


Spoiler: Gerome Saint-Stix
Character's Name: Gerome Saint-Stix
Age: 33
Occupation: Geneticist
Brief Physical Description: A man with spiky black hair, with some tips tinted dark green. Appearing to be ten years older than his siblings, he doesn't seem to care for his personal appearance, often being described as 'disheveled' and 'apathetic towards himself', as well as having a more stern expression than the other two members of the family.

He's the only one who doesn't use the lab coat, instead he ties it over his sweater, as if it were a cape. He uses a green sweater with a zig-zag patters, black pants and dark blue shoes.

Brief Personality Description:

Gerome is rather aloof and sometimes cynic towards most things. He shows disinterest in the fun side of everything, instead focusing on practical and logical sides. However he has his siblings in high-esteem, and although shows contempt towards his assistant, he does admit he cares for her well-being. He's also rather affectionate towards his pet lizard, and spends time tending to it.

However he has no qualms with admitting that he has a deep jealousy of Andrei's success, and often wishes people paid more attention to his work on genes than what he calls 'the scrap Andrei plays with', but he keeps that jealousy under control to work with his siblings, when needed.

He still shares the trait his siblings have: an endless ambition and hunger for success.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): None, besides being a witness.

Brief Background:

Oldest sibling of the Saint-Stix family, a family who emigrated into the country from Belgium. Specializing in genetics, Gerome is a struggling scientist who could be considered the weakest link of the Saint-Stix laboratories.

Along with his assistant, he works on classifying and organizing the information contained in several living beings' genes, trying to form the base for what he hopes is a future reliant on genetics and the manipulation of the genes to improve the environment and the animals.

At the time of the case, he and his siblings were working on what they called 'The Biological Androids Project'

Other data: His name, as it may have been noticed, comes from 'genome', while his surname is formed by a modification of the phonetic sounds of the word 'scientist'.

He states that the sweater he uses is to resemble a lizard, and claims it helps to get along better with his pet, and that it's why he refuses to use the lab coat correctly

He collaborated in the investigation for the murder where his brother got accused, and was the one to bring the case to the defense attorney, but is led to testify in the trial after he gets to the conclusion Andrei really is guilty for the murder, and admits that it's possible his envy may had part of his motivation to get involved with the trial.

Spoiler: Alkaly Saint-Stix
Character's Name: Alkaly Saint-Stix
Age: 26
Occupation: Chemist
Brief Physical Description: A young woman of a rather kind appearance, with black hair and two antenna-like strands on the front of her hairdo, with blue tips, falling to the sides of her face. Thick corrective glasses, a green sweater under her lab coat, which she uses correctly, gray pants, and purple shoes.

Brief Personality Description:

Alkaly is easy to approach and shows an intelligent mind, but she's selfish and seldom thinks of anything that won't lead to her benefit in some way or another. However she doesn't let that flaw to get on the way of her personal relationships, and strives to be friendly and likable, with varying grades of success.

She also likes to play the role of the spoiled little sister when her brothers are around, and says she does it out of amusement and to remember the times when they all were kids.

She still shares the trait his siblings have: an endless ambition and hunger for success.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): None, besides being a witness.

Brief Background:

Youngest sibling of the Saint-Stix family, a family who emigrated into the country from Belgium. Specializing in chemistry, she's considered a rising star in her field, but most of the time she's left in the shadows of her brother Andrei.

She works in chemical reactions to achieve results, specially related to energy production, and shows interest on biology and the internal workings of living beings, which led to working closely with Gerome, although he doesn't like to talk about it.

At the time of the case, she and her siblings were working on what they called 'The Biological Androids Project'

Other data: His name, as it may have been noticed, comes from 'alkaline', while his surname is formed by a modification of the phonetic sounds of the word 'scientist'.

She often has a few flasks of different compounds in the pockets of her lab coat, and tends to talk while having them in her hands.

Her assistant is the victim of the case, and shows grief when talked about it. She states she was close to her assistant, and that it pains her to say her brother Andrei is a murderer, but she still does the effort in the trial to get Andrei convicted.

Oh gosh how do I do this OK sorry for the weird angle my scanner is a strange one

Entrant's Name: anan
Character's Name: Kris L. Balle (cue the eye rolling)
Age: 21
Occupation: Detective of sorts

Brief Physical Description: She has short black hair with bangs that almost but not quite cover her purple eyes. The headband is supposed to help her powers in dark magic and her doll is her means of contacting objects' "voices". There are plenty little bows in her costume. Kris is around 5'5, but the way she stands makes her seem much smaller.

Brief Personality Description: Kris is a super shy one, if you couldn't tell by her looks. She prefers talking to people through her doll Stitch and hides her face whenever she gets embaressed. She is fiercely protecting of those close to her, however, and will not hesitate to throw hexes at anyone she views as a threat.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): A part of Gumshoe's investigation crew after his salary reached the negatives. She also has a major crush on Apollo and often tries to give him little love charms.

Brief Background: Kris led a sheltered life without friends other than her doll because of her speech problems. She stuttered all the time back then, and the teasing only made it worse. Now that she has friends, she only stutters with conplete strangers or Apollo. When she first was introduced to occult through the magic of internet, she immediately grew interested in dark magic and has a special talent of hearing objects' "voices" to her doll. She uses this ability to find hidden meanings of clues or find out what items were used for. Super useful when finding the murder weapon, not so useful when Gumshoe wants to know where his ramen cup has been.


Character's Name: Jack Dipper
Age: 19
Occupation: Detective of sorts

Brief Physical Description: Jack is only slightly taller than Kris, standing at 5'6. He has boots and spiky hair to make up for his vertical deficiencies. His hair is naturally brown, but the tips are reddish because yolo (yes i went there). He likes stripes in everything and carries a rag in his pocket for wiping surfaces- for things like spills, stains, prints. The mask is just from any festival he might gone to lately. It's an old habit from his days of thieving.

Brief Personality Description: Jack likes to be in on the action and go on adventures in restricted areas. He never gets angry, or at least he never shows it. Any object within 3 feet of him is unsafe; he has the habit of taking any item he finds interesting. If he feels like it, he might give it back.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Became a part of the Gumshoe Comedy Crew originally to get closer to the Yatagarasu, but after finding the truth he decided to stick around because it was fun.

Brief Background: He keeps his past guarded tighter than the Mona Lisa. Jack used to be a high school thief of highly priced art. His skills led to the term "stuff got jacked". Wanting to leave that life behind without gerting caught, he dodges questions about his past and will feign amnesia. After joining law, he uses his tools and knowledge as an ex-thief to go find hidden safes or break into virtually anything. He's also good at baking, you might call him a "jack of all trades" ;)

Entrant's Name: ObjectionEarthbound
Character's Name: Maple Flynn
Age: 17
Occupation: High school student
Brief Physical Description: Height is 158 cm, pink hair, rosy cheeks, glowing demeanor
Brief Personality Description:
Bubbly, enthusiastic, a bit dense, sometimes ditzy, generally a bright and optimistic person who believes in the power of love, and wants to meet her Prince Charming some day. She's the type of genki school girl who adds excitement in your day with her generally happy personality added with her klutzy behavior.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Trucy's classmate
Brief Background:
Maple Flynn is like your typical shoujo manga protagonist, which is probably because she loves watching shoujo anime, rom-coms, and reading shoujo manga. One of her personality quirks would be her tendency to fantasize about meeting her Prince Charming out loud, with all those shoujo clichés in play.

Her affiliation with shoujo comics stems from her experiences with her mother. Her mother was a freelance comic artist, and every bed time she would read some of her comics to Maple. Her stories were engaging and adventurous, but their best quality was its ability to pair realistic issues with moral values and a pinch of optimism. In fact, the most important value that Maple learned was the power of love. Her mother said that in the recent days, people have lost faith in love, but that's all the more reason that she should believe in it.

Maple had a loving relationship with her father as well, but there were times that where his demeanor made him hard to approach. She never minded those times however, because she believed in love, and knew that her father loved her, and that she loved him back.

It was thanks to her loving mother that Maple was shielded from the realities of her home. Maple was always oblivious (reinforced by her mother's teachings about love) to the fact that her father and mother are constantly arguing. Although they never resorted to physical actions, nor did they ever raise their voices, you could always tell that their fights were serious despite their nonchalant tones.

One night however, their fight was more intense than before. Their voices were louder than usual, to the point where Maple noticed them, and decided to watch and listen. Her mother wanted to leave the house, and bring Maple with her. She didn't choose to do so out of animosity towards her husband (for she always believed in their love) however, but only for the sake of protecting Maple from her father's worsening outbursts.

Her father was completely shaken and begged her to stay, but she would not be moved. She had already told him of her plans a few weeks prior, and they both agreed it was the right decision. It just so happened that when it came to the final day, he couldn't bear it and drank heavily that night. Maple's mother tried to restrain him, but he overtook her by force and pushed her down. She ran up the stairs in order to reach Maple, but her husband catches up to her and pulls her down. Having been hurt from her previous fall, she suffered greater wounds on her head as she fell down the stairs. Maple saw her mother's lifeless body lying on the floor, and ran straight to her room afterwards.

Her memories of this incident and what happened afterwards were locked inside her head right away. Because she never testified to anything when she was questioned, plus the fact that she was found in her room when the police arrived at the scene of the incident, everyone assumed that she did not witness anything. It was because of this assumption that everyone tried to shield her further from the truth of the incident.

Since her father was put in jail, she had to live with her grandparents. At this time, she was about ten years old. By the age of sixteen, she asked to move out however. Her reason was that she was a high schooler now, and that she wanted to "try being more independent". She received consent to move out, but still got financial aid for her school tuition and allowances for daily expenses.

Maple grew up as a relatively normal girl, with normal hobbies and a number of friends, one of them being her homeroom teacher in high school. Her relatives even thought that they succeeded in shielding her from the incident, since she turned out so normal. One strange tendency of her however is that when emotionally or physically stressed out, she tends to overreact, or even blank out. This has never caused any concern though because they were relatively tame and manageable. People thought it was just another personality quirk.

Their assumptions would be proven wrong once and for all however. It all starts when Maple accidentally runs into an upperclassman in school. Just like typical shoujo fashion, they literally bump into each other while running late for school, and fall down. All her books fell off her bag, and they were still running late. The upperclassman offered to help her fix her stuff, knowing that being any later than they were already would merit a harsher punishment. Maple was so touched, and believed that she had finally met her Prince Charming.

At this point, Maple grew a huge crush on the upperclassman. Like a any teenage girl in love, she began to be even more enthusiastic than usual. It was as if she were in a real shoujo manga. Her friends and her homeroom teacher, Julian Clearhart, encouraged her to get to know him better before acting rashly, of course. They were used to her getting crushes all the time, and then realizing later that he wasn't the one. Maple's perception of love may have been slightly altered by shoujo manga, but she definitely knew that she felt something that was different from all of her other old crushes. She followed their advice anyway, and tried approaching her upperclassman for often. Her expectations of him didn't fail, as he was everything she hoped he could be, and her feelings for him continued to grow.

One day, Maple decided to confess to him. They met on the rooftop of the school. She was nervous for rejection, but she at least wanted her feelings to be clear once and for all. And thus, she confessed.

But the reply was nothing she could have ever expected. The upperclassman confessed on his own, saying that he never really looked at her as more than an acquaintance, not even a friend. He was only being nice to her when she was befriending him, but in all honesty she was annoying and always went to him at the worst times. He says that he was always giving her nonverbal cues that he did not want to talk to her anymore, but she deliberately ignored them (she was actually just that dense and oblivious). He was tired of annoying presence, not to mention the fact that he hated being teased with her, a pink-haired weirdo who was rumored to be mentally unstable with her sudden outbursts.

He goes on and on, clearly hating the fact that she had just confessed to him. Maple could no longer think clearly. The extreme shock she felt prompted her to blank out. She then took his arm, saying "Let's just forget what happened and go home...", but at that moment, he quickly shoved her down, and continued berating her. At this point, she could no longer take the truth she had heard, and forcibly pushed him out of the roof out of despair and anxiety.

It was only when she heard a loud scream that she came back to her senses. Having realized the gravity of what she had just done (just to clarify, she killed him), she quickly escaped from the school premises, unseen by everyone. After this incident, bits and pieces of her memories of her mother's death started to resurface. The rest would be further revealed in court, as she is questioned as a witness, not a suspect. The suspect would be Trucy Wright, her classmate, who just ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Apollo Justice would take the case, and Athena Cykes would be his assistant.

Maple initially avoided suspicion, but as the trial progresses with, her presence in the school at the time of the murder is scrutinized. She still maintains her innocence, and so does Mr. Clearhart. Mr. Clearhart goes through great lengths defending her, almost as if he were her defense attorney. Eventually, Maple takes the witness stand. Apollo reveals some information of the witness that was not revealed before, such as her sudden outbursts when under stress. As Maple's guilt begins to be asserted, her behavior starts changing. She becomes serious, but is still clumsy in her manner. Later, when the incident of her mother's death is brought upon the court, her memories finally come intact. Her assertions of her innocence become less confident, until she completely gives up. Tears start streaming down her face, as she apologizes to her teacher for manipulating his trust, and to Trucy for pinning a murder crime to her innocent name.

The trial is actually more detailed and organized than how I explained it up there, but that's just the gist of it in terms of Maple's involvement.

Entrant's Name: ObjectionEarthbound
Character's Name: Julian Clearhart
Age: 28
Occupation: High school Mathematics teacher
Brief Physical Description: Height: 193 cm. Blessed with a handsome face, but cursed with a bad sense of fashion (turtlenecks + old timey-wimey hair) . You can't look at his face without seeing a hint of a sparkle.
Brief Personality Description:
If it weren't for his looks, anyone would be baffled at how he can get a small fan-following of girls when faced with his otherwise uncool behavior. He's clumsy, he rambles too much when teaching in Math class (to the point of needing to be interrupted every so often), has the most unfunny jokes, and has a weird-sounding sneeze. He always looks out for his students though, and always tries to interact with them, but people tend to look at him as a bit unreliable since he can barely look after himself at work.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Trucy's homeroom teacher
Brief Background:
When Maple first became his student, Clearhart was instructed by his superiors to pay close attention to her because of her family's history. He was also told that she was now living alone. These prompted him to actively reach out to her, whether it be asking her to participate in class, or initiating small talk during free time. There friendship developed one day when he found Maple alone cleaning her classroom. It was her turn, and no one else had time to help her. Clearhart immediately dropped whatever he was holding in order to help the girl. It just so happened however, that what he dropped was actually a big bundle of test papers to grade. Maple then noticed his presence and went to help him pick up all the papers, but just as she was about to do so, she accidentally knocked down the mop and the bucket of water it was standing on. Both were really panicked now, but acted quickly enough to save all the papers from getting wet.

After all that commotion, they realized what just happened and had a big laugh. They were both really clumsy, but despite that they were able to prevent what could have been a bad mess by working together. At this point, they decided to watch each other's back, because "maybe two klutzes just cancel each other out!"

Since then, Clearhart and Maple have been good friends and maintained a good relationship as teacher and student. Clearhart would tutor her in Math (although sometimes she ends up being more confused than before thanks to his ramblings), and Maple would help him out with some of his menial teacher tasks, and give him advice about dealing with students. Even though they were both helpless klutzes, Maple always looked up to him as a guardian, or even like a father. And at the same time, Clearhart would sometimes be protective of her, as if she were his own daughter.

His role as a guardian would then be tested when Maple becomes accused of murdering an upperclassman. He did whatever he could in his power as a witness in order to defend her, without pinning the blame on another fellow student. He truly believed she was innocent, because she told him herself that she was. He would have never thought that she would lie to him. He believed in her, thinking that she needed someone to support her when no one else would.

However, as evidence began to prove that Maple was lying, he was at a loss for words. Believing in her innocence became more difficult. Because he could add nothing more to counteract the defense's argument, he was finally put off the witness stand. Maple took his place on the witness stand, but as stated in her character bio, she too was defeated. At this point, the facts were clear, and she was the killer. Maple felt an overbearing guilt for manipulating her teacher and confidant. She gave a heartfelt apology to him on the witness stand. Clearhart then reminded her that it's his role as a teacher to always watch out for his students, as if they were his own children.

Age: 15

Occupation: Great Archive's librarian

Brief Physical Description: Greta is a small, thin young woman with blonde concave bob hair and turquoise eyes. She wears a headband, a purple shawl,and a white flower-shaped apron with turqouise dress which matches her eyes beneath it. She always use her special "flying chair" wherever she go because she was born without shinbones and had to get both of her legs amputated at the knee at her early age.

Brief Personality Description: A serious and rational girl, she don't believe in anything that 'not scientific enough', even though she lives in "magical world of Labyrinthia". That's why when Maya said that she is an ESP, she didn't believe it until she saw it by her own eyes. She also doesn't trust anyone quickly especially strangers, and this got worsen due her trauma of people judgement upon her pysical condition.

Connection to canon characters: Greta Liddell is Pearl Fey's half sister and Ridelle Mystere's fellow librarian.

Brief Background :

-Early Life
When Greta was 5;just before her legs surgery; her father left them a large amount of debts and just gone missing without word. Because of that, Mrs Liddell had to work hard to pay off the debts and Greta's medical bills. She then passed away after severe illness from overworked. Because Greta was all alone and didn't know any other relatives, she decided to move to Labyrinthia and start a new life.

-The Blackmail
It all started when one day she got a blackmail from a certain organization in Labyrintha called Gloomy Rabbits. At first, it told her 'politely' to hand over "The Goldilocks", but she ignores it since she never heard such thing like that. Soon the blackmails became more intense and pushier, to the point they ran out of patience. They then started sending assasins to kill her and take "The Goldilocks" by force. Greta later meets Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton in the middle of their quest, and asked for their help to stop this madness.

-The Goldilocks
After several investigation, everything became clear when Professor realized that Greta is allergic to daisies but strangely got not reaction from her mother's daisy necklake.
It turns out that "The Goldilocks" is actually a special artificial daisy with pure gold seed in it. It also the key evidence to expose all Gloomy Rabbits's lowly crimes and mafia activities.

Quotes :
[to Luke when he struggles to get the book from upper shelf]"Here, you can use this stepladder."
"There's no such thing as spirits, don't you agree Professor?"
"I don't believe anything you said unless you prove it to me."
[after knock out the assassin] "Ha! Don't judge a book by its cover!"
[Smiling]"Thank you..maybe I'll visit to your place sometime"

Luke to Professor : Somehow I had seen that necklake before. Maybe it's just my imagination..

Pearl to Greta : Your smile reminds me a lot of someone. Oh, I bet you will be happy too if you met her...she's such a cute little girl!

*Fun Trivia :
- Her main color is a variation of turqouise called "Pearl Mystic Turquoise".
- She is a relative of Herzen family from Professor Layton. The Goldilocks itself is one of Herzen's heirloom.
- She likes all mushroom dishes, especially the spicy one. She also loves cake and tea.

- The name Liddell matches and has a similiar pun ("riddle") to her fellow canon librarian, Ridelle Mystere.
- Her name is also a pun of "Greet a Liddell".
- Alice in Wonderland is one of her favorite books.

Entrant's Name: Voodoo Lady

Character's Name: Simeon W. Khan
Age: 42
Occupation: Prosecutor
Brief Physical Description: Hulking and intimidating. Towers over his opponents in spite of his abysmal posture. Has shortish black hair with massive sideburns and a soul patch. Wears a fuzzy blue sweater-vest over a humongous yellow tie and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Wears thick-framed rectangular glasses, and always has a couple spares on his person-- partially because he can't see without them, partially because they keep flying off his face and breaking mid-trial.
Brief Personality Description: He looks like a giant ape and has the temperament to match. Frequently badgers witnesses, defense attorneys, and even judges with vulgar gestures and threats. At the peak of his career, he was a brilliant (albeit unlikeable) prosecutor, legendary in the prosecutor's office for his sharp mind and caustic wit. But about ten years ago, his arrogance got the better of him and he became a caricature of himself-- gesturing and posturing, harassing bailiffs, even slapping his butt to taunt his opponents! It's all an act. He's still a genius prosecutor; he's just so self-obsessed that he'd rather lose a case every so often than lose the public's interest.
Connection to canon characters: Went up against Phoenix Wright in the case State vs. Parsons. (The case took place about nine years ago-- between JFA and T&T.) The highlight of the trial was when he threatened to pluck out the spikes in the back of Nick's head one by one before sitting on his head and squishing it like a watermelon. Nick won.
Brief Background: He was born and raised in LA. He was interested in becoming a prosecutor from an early age, less due to interest in civic duty and more for the fame it would bring him. After graduating from law school at the top of his class, he became a prosecutor and began winning trial after trial with his analytical skills. But after ten years of public service, public interest in his trials began to decline. So when Wujin asked him to throw State vs. Wujin in her brother's favor, he decided to act like a complete buffoon during the trial proper out of spite. To his surprise, not only was Wujin a capable attorney, but the crowd loved his ridiculous behavior. He spent the next ten years actively crafting his villainous persona. Wujin helped him in this regard by setting up cases for him to lose with style.

Character's Name: Alexandra (Sasha/"Sandy") Wujin
Age: 36
Occupation: Defense attorney
Brief Physical Description: Wears a skullcap that covers most of her forehead. She straightens her hair, but it still ends up curly; it grows out in an upside-down V shape beneath her skullcap. Also nearsighted; wears half-moon glasses that obscure her eyes. Wears a white suit with matching skirt and black shirt. Seems to love large grey beads if her earrings, buttons, and necklace are any indication. In any case, her height and good posture give an air of authority to everything she does.
Brief Personality Description: Cool, composed, and even-tempered at all times, in and out of the courtroom. She's polite and dignified, but doesn't suffer fools, instead treating them to her deadpan wit. She takes her clients based on whether she thinks they should go free rather than if they're actually innocent, as she believes good people should never have to deal with cruelties of incarceration. That being said, she would never knowingly indict an innocent person.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Met Apollo Justice at a meet-and-greet for defense attorneys. She found his fiery temper off-putting and was intimidated by his hair.
Brief Background: Born and raised in Harlem, she took an interest in social justice in her teens and studied law to defend the underprivileged. When her brother Chuma moved to LA for his job, she moved with him and soon established herself as a respected attorney. Then, ten years ago, her brother was accused of murder. She took his case, obviously, but quickly found herself in a conundrum-- all the evidence showed her brother actually did commit the crime. Lacking evidence for a counter-argument but desperate for a not guilty verdict, she asked the prosecutor to throw the case in Chuma's favor. Khan was offended to the point where he spent most of the trial mocking Wujin. But they both got what they wanted in the end; Khan received the publicity he was so desperate for, while Wujin managed to convince the judge the victim's death was a suicide and got her brother off the hook. She (accurately) thought Khan an attention-whoring buffoon, but kept in contact with him whenever she needed to rig a case in favor of her client.

Character's Name: Zuzana "Piggy" Boers (?)
Age: 27 (???)
Occupation: Homicide detective, evidence (mis)handler
Brief Physical Description: Short, with big round sunglasses and cropped hair that's been dyed blonde. The top half of her body is covered in layers and layers-- turtlenecks, scarves, and leather galore. This is in sharp contrast with the lower half of her body, which is less like a pair of legs and more like two Twizzlers comically jutting out of a pair of grungy old sneakers.
Brief Personality Description: Clumsy, loud-mouthed, and quick to anger. Gives everyone insulting nicknames, including herself. She takes pride in her work, even though practically no one else does; she squeals with happiness whenever someone else gives her a compliment. Morally unscrupulous; it's very likely she supplements her nonexistent pay by pickpocketing.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Borrowed a pen from Spark Brushel and never returned it.
Brief Background: Her origins are unknown; she claims to have been born here, but her implacable-but-foreign accent would suggest otherwise. In any case, she somehow ended up on the police force, working in the evidence room for below minimum wage. Wujin "discovered" her after she ""accidentally"" """lost""" a bloodstained twenty-dollar-bill found at a crime scene. Wujin began pushing her towards cases where the evidence was against her client-- "accidentally" getting her prints all over a murder weapon, for instance-- so that there wouldn't be enough evidence to convict the defendant. She's never gotten fired because much like Gumshoe, she does so many cases for so little money that it's more cost-efficient to keep her on the payroll.

Trivia:
The three of them as a group are based on the protagonists from Journey to the West-- Sun Wukong the monkey king, Sha Wujing the monk, and Zhu Bajie the boar.
Zuzana's striped tights and big shoes weren't meant to invoke Amy Smootster, but I guess Sam Kieth just sort of sticks with you.
These were done with ballpoint pen and watercolor; I used Photoshop to get the black on Simeon's lower half because I hate wasting paint.
Name Origin:
Simeon W. Khan: Name derived from Sun Wukong. Simeon is an old-timey Hebrew name pronounced identically to the word "simian"; Khan was chosen both for both its definition as a military leader and its similarity to "Kong."
Alexandra Wujin: Name derived from Sha Wujing. Boers's nickname for her (Sandy) is identical to Sha Wujin's nickname in English translations of the novel. Wujin references the Chinese idiom "chu e wu jin," which roughly translates to "eradicate all evil." It's also very similar to "wuji," the absence of yin and yang, which is sometimes symbolized with a solid grey circle. (hence her earrings, pearls, etc.) Her brother's name derives from the former.
Zuzana Boers: Name derived from Zhu Bajie, with whom she shares initials and the nickname Piggy. "Boers" is pronounced like "boars," which is yet another "pig" joke. Partially chosen because of its foreign-but-still-ethnically-ambiguous quality; "Zuzana" is Eastern European, but "Boers" is either Dutch or South African. In any case, she's not a California native.

 A hard working yet annoying man, he’s well liked except for when he corrects or informs people about information nonstop. A treasure trove of information but once Lot starts he can’t stop talking. He does well at pushing his writers to their very best (but mostly just so the writers can get him off their case) Lot is a knowledgeable editor but always makes people feel like he thinks he could write it better than them.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): The victim of the current case Phoenix is working on.

Brief Background:
 The chief editor at Dogear Publishing House, Mr. Noah Lot has held the office for a good number of years. Dealing with the top writers within the agency, he’s fantastic at his job but annoys many to no end.

Brief Personality Description:
 Very personable and easygoing, she’s the type of person that can get along with just about anyone. She’s constantly on the move even when she’s relaxing and doesn’t like to stay in one place for very long. Her talents include the ability to fall asleep anywhere and getting in and out of trouble. Even though Paige is a writer she still considers this her first time in a “real work environment”, because of this she goes out of her way to bring coffee and doughnuts for the agency when ever she stops in. She's very interested in what makes people tick and enjoys detective stories.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): The defendant of the current case Phoenix is working on. Her case was brought to him by Francisca Von Karma, who became her acquaintance while Ms. Turner was traveling through Europe.

Spoiler: Warren Piece
Character's Name:
 Warren Piece
Age: 68

Occupation: Author

Brief Physical Description: While the public doesn’t know what he looks like Mr. Piece is a hulking bear of a man with an impressive scowl. He constantly changes his style and hair color every couple of years to "shake off the hounds".

Brief Personality Description:
 Piece is a stubborn and intimidating man who doesn’t usually hold back his thoughts. Surprisingly a gentleman through and through he also has a touch of wildness to him. He doesn’t like his picture taken at all so not many people know what he looks like. It’s been rumored that he might be a big softy around kids…
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): A witness/ suspect of the current case Phoenix is working on. He also somehow knows Larry…

Brief Background:
 Warren Piece is known for his numerous dark and moving novels. His books have brought his audience to tears with their soul piercing prose but not many people know what he looks like.

Character's Name:
 Anita Penn
Age: 32

Occupation: Secretary/Office Manager

Brief Physical Description: Tall with her hair pulled back in a bun (always with a forgotten pen or three in it) she gives off an air of complete confidence and serenity with her perfect posture and clothes.

Brief Personality Description:
 The ideal secretary, Ms. Penn works well under pressure and always has a plan. Although she gets done her work with precision she's a bit on the scatterbrained side now and again and is constantly searching for her pen and paper (and forgetting that there might be a dozen in her hair at that time) Her personality shifts from dreamlike to strict at the drop of a hat, keeping everyone on their toes in the office. She's very good at her job though and knows just about everything going on in the agency.

Connection to canon characters (if applicable): A witness of the current case Phoenix is working on.

Brief Background:
 Anita has been working for Dogear for quite awhile and has been the backbone of the agency the whole time. She has a degree in literature and can be seen time to time frantically writing though she has nothing to show for all that work...

Spoiler: EXTRA!
Character's Name:
 Lotta Hart
Age: ???

Occupation: Photo Journalist/ Wannabe Author

Brief Physical Description: Same as previous games but she's added a "disguise" with her new glasses to blend in

Brief Personality Description:
 …you guys should know this very well
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): (She’s not an OC of course but I just wanted to add this in because she’s part of the case!) A witness/suspect of the current case Phoenix is working on. She knows Phoenix from way back.

Brief Background:
 When Phoenix starts questioning the employees of Dogear Literary Agency, they mention a weirdo sneaking around and leaving cryptic writings. As it turns out that weirdo is Lotta Hart, “Famous Supernatural Photographer” and now soon to be “World Famous Author”. Lotta claims she got the writing bug from her new assistant. She’s been secretly getting into the agency and leaving her manuscript for Noah Lot to read and publish. It just so happens to be a detailed story of two star-crossed lawyers based on a “true story” (with some photographic “evidence” to back it up) and with some added supernatural elements. She’s causing even more trouble for Phoenix because as a photographer first and foremost, Lotta always has her camera on her…and managed to get some quick snaps of what she thinks is the scene of the crime.
