History Characters / ApolloJusticeAceAttorneyCase5TurnaboutSubstitution

* TheWalrusWasPaul: [[spoiler:As it turns out, there was no motivation at all behind the sheet music and fake naked photos of the victims arranged in the shape of a bust. She just put these things in her crime scenes to mess with the police.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: At the start of the trial, he ''walks into the wrong courtroom'' and starts '''''[[BigLippedAlligatorMoment acting out the defense and prosecution's opening statements.]]''''' Nevertheless, his father praises him as an up-and-coming genius, and he's [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure actually quite reasonable]] once the proceedings officially start.

* UnfortunateNames: Since his father is also named "Strings", the game's text boxes abbreviate his full name as... "[[HehHehYouSaidX G. Strings]]".

* BareYourMidriff: Wears a red top that shows off her shoulders and midriff.

* {{Expy}}: Being a PluckyGirl and TheWatson, nevertheless involved in a business regarding the dead, she seems to be channeling Maya Fey. [[spoiler:In reality, being a BitchInSheepsClothing and the BigBad, her tendency to refer to her [[UnwittingPawn 'love interest']] by a pet name, and [[TheStinger the stinger's]] implication of her developing a [[ItsPersonal vendetta against the defense attorney who exposed her]] makes her a clear cut {{Expy}} of Dahlia Hawthorne. Her physical appearance is even based off of the concept art for [[http://www.court-records.net/arts/gs3_15.jpg Dalhia Hawthorne]] (#5 in terms of clothes, #6 in terms of face and hair to be specific).]]

* {{Expy}}: Being a PluckyGirl and TheWatson, nevertheless involved in a business regarding the dead, she seems to be channeling Maya Fey. [[spoiler:In reality, being a BitchInSheepsClothing and the BigBad, her tendency to refer to her [[UnwittingPawn 'love interest']] by a pet name, and [[TheStinger the stinger's]] implication of her developing a [[ItsPersonal vendetta against the defense attorney who exposed her]] makes her a clear cut {{Expy}} of Dahlia Hawthorne. Her physical appearance is even based off of the concept art for [[http://www.court-records.net/arts/gs3_15.jpg Dalhia Hawthorne]].]]

* NiceGirl: A nice and supportive friend to Apollo …[[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope she is not.]]]]

* BeneathTheMask: [[spoiler: What makes her so repulsive, and yet at the same time, unconsidered as a suspect is the [[ForTheEvulz sheer lack of any reasonable motive for the crimes]]. [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds A biology teacher snapping from reliving a childhood trauma]] is leagues easier to swallow than a [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil young, seemingly well-adjusted woman deciding to kill several people]] [[StrawNihilist because she believed they weren't really alive.]] Paul Strings unintentionally [[ShoutOut compares her]] to [[Film/TheDarkKnight the Joker]] with the Burmese Bandit quote, and all things considered, its fairly fitting.]]

* NiceGirl: A nice and supportive friend to Apollo …[[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope she is not.]]

* BreakiThemByTalking: [[spoiler:Does this to Apollo to eat up his time during the recess. [[CombatPragmatist It also serves as a distraction to keep him from devising arguments against her.]]]]

%%* {{Megane}}

* BreakingSpeech: [[spoiler:Gives Apollo one to eat up his time during the recess. [[CombatPragmatist It also serves as a distraction to keep him from devising arguments against her.]]]]

* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: [[UpToEleven To put it mildly]]. Hoo boy, she'd give Dahlia, Matt or Kristoph a run for their money! She even killed her ''own brother'' [[ManipulativeBitch just to throw the police off, and get involved in the case,]] and as Apollo points out, she's clearly incapable of loving anything or anyone, [[EmptyShell even herself.]]]]

* {{Expy}}: Being a PluckyGirl and TheWatson, nevertheless involved in a business regarding the dead, she seems to be channeling Maya Fey. [[spoiler:In reality, being a BitchInSheepsClothing and the BigBad, her tendency to refer to her [[UnwittingPawn 'love interest']] by a pet name, and [[TheStinger the stinger's]] implication of her developing a [[ItsPersonal vendetta against the defense attorney who exposed her]] makes her a clear cut {{Expy}} of Dahlia Hawthorne. Her physical appearance is even based off of the concept art for [[http://www.court-records.net/arts/gs3_15.jpg Dalhia Hawethorne]].]]

* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: [[UpToEleven To put it mildly]]. Hoo boy, she'd give Dahlia, Matt or Kristoff a run for their money! She even killed her ''own brother'' [[ManipulativeBitch just to throw the police off, and get involved in the case,]] and as Apollo points out, she's clearly incapable of loving anything or anyone, [[EmptyShell even herself.]]]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: She grabs a shovel from hammerspace and digs a hole in the courtroom floor.]]

* StrawFeminist: {{Defied|Trope}}. While she DoesNotLikeMen in general, she is not the completely irrational man-hater you'd expect from this trope. When Poole attempts to accuse Erlenmeyer of being the Mysterious Bust Killer, Snow takes issue with Poole's use of he/him pronouns because it's a "sexist stereotype" that only men can be murderers and thus implicates her client.

* WickedCultured: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He speaks in PurpleProse and GratuitousLatin, [[ProverbialWisdom quotes philosophers]] on the regular, he keeps a bust of Leonidas in his room, and his ringtone and {{Leitmotif}} is a Bach piece. [[spoiler:He ''is''' the mastermind behind the plot to spring Erlenmeyer, the so-called "[[SerialKiller Mysterious Bust Killer]]", from prison, he is ultimately a WellIntentionedExtremist who wants an innocent man to go free.]]

* AmoralAttorney: Poole describes her as a "cold and ambitious woman".

* InsistentTerminology: Takes issue with the Mysterious Bust Killer's gender. [[spoiler:It turns out that the real killer is a woman.]]
* StrawFeminist: Brands Judge Chambers a pervert for [[InsaneTrollLogic completely nonsensical reasons]]. For example, she interprets his question about whether to plead "guilty" or "not guilty" as proof that he wants to see an innocent young woman pleading in front of him.

* MyCard: Gives Apollo her business card when they first meet.

%%* BigBadFriend does not apply to her. That is a genuine friend. Not a FalseFriend.

* {{Expy}}: Being a PluckyGirl and TheWatson, nevertheless involved in a business regarding the dead, she seems to be channeling Maya Fey. [[spoiler:In reality, being a BitchInSheepsClothing and the BigBad, her tendency to refer to her [[UnwittingPawn 'love interest']] by a pet name, and [[TheStinger the stinger's]] implication of her developing a [[ItsPersonal vendetta against the defense attorney who exposed her]] makes her a clear cut {{Expy}} of Dahlia Hawethorne. Her physical appearance is even based off of the concept art for [[http://www.court-records.net/arts/gs3_15.jpg Dalhia Hawethorne]].]]

* SignificantAnagram: Rhea Wits = [[spoiler:'''''It Was Her''''']].

%%* FakingTheDead: By his brother

* WordSaladHumor: [[spoiler:How he speaks, due to his insanity. The "humor" part is averted for the most part: the game does a ''very'' effective job at [[PlayedForDrama playing it for drama.]] Additionally, some of his gibberish actually makes sense once you know the truth. For example, when he says that "The strawberry killed the plum", he's referring to Rhea, who wears red clothes.]]

Robert Erlenmeyer's defense attorney.

%%* StrawFeminist: PlayedForLaughs.
