| 13 | The Comeback King and the Turnabout Terror, Phoenix is a renowned attorney known for his bluffs that are surprisingly on mark. He uses a magatama to discern truths people are hiding from him. At the beginning of the story, he inexplicably wakes up in an entirely different universe, a universe where he becomes a prosecutor instead of a defense attorney. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * AnimeHair: Has wild, spiky hair. |
| 16 | * BlueIsHeroic: His trademark is blue. |
| 17 | * ButtMonkey: He wouldn't be Phoenix, if the universe wasn't screwing him over. |
| 18 | * ColorMotif: Blue is his trademark color, see BlueIsHeroic. |
| 19 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He's technically this for Prosecutorverse Franziska, often having to play damage control for her. |
| 20 | * FirstPersonSmartass: It’s Phoenix after all. |
| 21 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: This is Phoenix Wright after all, he practically perfected it. |
| 22 | * InSeriesNickname: As in canon, Maya and Larry call him Nick. Meanwhile, his mother Phoebe and his grandparents call him Nicky. |
| 23 | * LastNameBasis: Despite being childhood friends with Miles, he still calls him by his last name, Edgeworth. |
| 24 | * LivingLieDetector: Thanks to the magatama. |
| 25 | * MadeOfIron: He gets shot in the chest and yet, he manages to survive. But this is Phoenix, we're talking about... |
| 26 | * TheMentor: The mentor (and boss) to Apollo and Athena. |
| 27 | * TheRival: Is one to Edgeworth (and his best friend). Franziska also considers him this. |
| 28 | * RunningGag: Phoenix will be drinking some kind of drink when he gets a bombshell about something in Prosecutorverse. He'll then do a SpitTake, leading him to hastily scramble for an excuse. |
| 29 | * ShipTease: It's implied that Phoenix had feelings for Mia before she died. |
| 30 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Even though he has his mother’s hair color, it’s been shown that Phoenix bears a striking resemblance to his father, Nicholas. |
| 31 | * TeamDad: To the point where he pouts to himself when Prosecutorverse Apollo and Athena are weirded out by him waving at the two of them (as Prosecutorverse Phoenix is their mentors' adversary.) |
| 32 | -->'''Phoenix:''' This universe stinks, my kids hate me here. |
| 33 | * YouCanAlwaysTellALiar: See LivingLieDetector. |

| 40 | The Clarion of Revelations and the Truth Bringer, Apollo is Phoenix's first protege. He uses a magic bracelet that tightens when people lie to him and he can notice their lying tells. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * AnimeHair: Has a very unique hairstyle that has been compared to a horn by Jinxie Tenma in the past. |
| 43 | * ButtMonkey: |
| 44 | ** Just like in canon, only to add insult to injury Prosecutor Phoenix can never remember Apollo or Athena's names and at first thought the two were interns. |
| 45 | ** Athena was forced to agree to Blackquill’s terms in exchange for his help that Apollo ''has to'' pay for Blackquill’s dinner. And Taka’s. Apollo is not amused. |
| 46 | * ColorMotif: His trademark color is [[ChromaticSuperiority red]]. |
| 47 | * TheComicallySerious: Poor Apollo tries to maintain professionalism but it's often derailed. |
| 48 | * ConsummateProfessional: Apollo is actively the most professional person to work for the Agency. |
| 49 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has brown hair and brown eyes. |
| 50 | * DeadpanSnarker: Even more sarcastic than his boss and mentor. |

| 56 | * LongLostRelative: He's Trucy older half-brother, unbeknownst to the two of them. |
| 57 | * TheNapoleon: A more downplayed one compared Franziska (whom he is three centimetres taller than). He's loud, brash, Hot-Blooded, and possesses the "big personality" trait of the Napoleon. |
| 58 | * NoIndoorVoice: Well he doesn't call it Chords of Steel for nothing... |
| 59 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's 23 years old but it's easy to mistake him for a high-schooler. |
| 60 | * OnlySaneMan: Well... compared to Athena, Maya, and Trucy. This is shown especially when they see that Prosecutor Phoenix doesn't recognize them and Maya orders Athena to put him in a headlock, Apollo understandably protests to the treatment of their boss. And Maya's claims that Phoenix is possessed by an evil spirit. |
| 61 | * OrphansPlotTrinket: Apollo's bracelet, one of a pair that belonged to his mother. It ended up being very important to his LivingLieDetector powers. |
| 62 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: He's the shortest male lawyer in the series by about four inches. He's also the loudest. He's also managed to help put away several criminals before the start of this fic. Underestimate this short lawyer if you dare. |
| 63 | * TheReliableOne: Apollo is the most reliable out of the Wright Anything Agency members. |
| 64 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Has a more ShipTease version of this dynamic with Athena, and a more platonic version of this dynamic with Trucy. |
| 65 | * ShipTease: It's implied that Apollo is crushing on Athena. |
| 66 | * SuperSenses: Has a highly attuned sense of visual perception even without his bracelet. |
| 67 | * YouCanAlwaysTellALiar: See LivingLieDetector. |

| 73 | |
| 74 | The Courtroom Révolutionnaire, Athena is the second protege to Phoenix Wright. She is a specialist in analytical psychology, which she studied in Europe, and has the special ability to pick up subtle emotions from witnesses' voices, which she can then examine using a program called the "Mood Matrix". The Mood Matrix is linked to her AI partner Widget, who hangs around her neck and changes color with her emotions. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | * AnimeHair: Her bangs defy gravity. |
| 77 | * BadassAdorable: Despite her cute appearance, she can easily put [[ItMakesSenseInContext her boss into a headlock and hold him down.]] |
| 78 | * BadassBookworm: Studying law and psychology all in the span of seven years is pretty impressive... and she can also put a man (her boss) 5 inches taller than her, in to a headlock and hold him down. |
| 79 | * TheBigGirl: While not remarkably tall or muscular, she can wreck anyone who pisses her off. |
| 80 | * BoisterousBruiser: Just ask Prosecutor Phoenix. |
| 81 | * ButtMonkey: Just like in canon, only to add insult to injury Prosecutor Phoenix can never remember her or Apollo's names and at first thought the two were interns. |
| 82 | * CharacterTics: She tends to fiddle with her earring when she's in thought. She also strokes her ponytail when flustered, and punches her fists when she's ready to expose the truth. |
| 83 | * ColorCodedEmotions: The emotions displayed by the mood matrix which also reflect her emotions when not in use. Light blue is neutral, green is happiness/joy, dark blue is sadness/fear, yellow is surprise/confusion, red is anger/frustration. |
| 84 | * ColorMotif: Her trademark color is yellow. |
| 85 | * DitzyGenius: Has qualifications in both law and psychology. She's also hyper and clumsy. |
| 86 | * TheEmpath: She can actually sense the attitude and feelings of the people around her. |
| 87 | * FieryRedhead: Athena is quite the feisty one and has bright orange hair. |

| 90 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: A tradition for this agency. |
| 91 | * HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: She is not amused when Blackquill teases her, claiming her and Apollo are dating. |
| 92 | * LivingLieDetector: Her superhuman hearing helps her catch changes in a person's emotional state, combined with her Mood Matrix, can help her detect lies. |
| 93 | * OrphansPlotTrinket: The single earring she wears is a memento from her late mother. It's made from the moon rock that was recovered seven years ago. |
| 94 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: She’s an inch shorter than Apollo (who is short himself). Despite her size and petite stature, she’s incredibly strong. She could judo toss a full grown man in ''Dual Destinies'' and in this fic put her own boss in a headlock and keep a man 5 inches taller than her held down with no trouble. |
| 95 | * ThePollyanna: Despite the hardships she’s endured over her life, she’s still able to smile through it all. |
| 96 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Has a ShipTease version of this dynamic with Apollo, and a platonic version of this dynamic with Blackquill. |
| 97 | * ShipTease: It's hinted Apollo has feelings for her. |
| 98 | * SuperSenses: Has an exceptional sense of hearing and perception of minute changes in voices. |

| 107 | |
| 108 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: |
| 109 | ** Maya is a very silly character. But when she had enough of [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Phoenix not acting like himself]], Maya orders Athena to hold him down. She then says he's possessed by an evil spirit and will proceed to exorcise it. Apollo expresses concern as it seems her spiritual powers have gotten powerful over the years...powerful enough to cause harm. |
| 110 | --->'''Apollo:''' Maya is this necessary... I'm pretty certain he just hit his head and that's why he can't remember this stuff? |
| 111 | --->'''Maya:''' Well... hopefully not, this is a powerful prayer I'm about to perform. If no ghost is in him then he might end up unconscious... or just stuck with annoying bouts of nosebleeds and migraines for two weeks. |
| 112 | ** When she thought Phoenix was being robbed, she charged in wielding a fire extinguisher and was fully prepared to attack with it. |
| 113 | * BigEater: She demands burgers after the conclusion of Prosecutor Phoenix's first day as a defense attorney. |
| 114 | * TheBusCameBack: As the story takes place after Dual Destinies, Maya returns after her absence in Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies. |
| 115 | * CloudCuckoolander: It is Maya after all. |

| 117 | * PluckyGirl: No matter how bad things get, Maya still confronts it with enthusiastic zeal. |

| 120 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Has a platonic version of this dynamic with Phoenix and is starting to gain a similiar dynamic with Prosecutorverse Phoenix. |

| 135 | * LongLostRelative: She's Apollo's younger half-sister, not that they are aware of this fact yet. |
| 136 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: She's a stage magician, so a few of the things she does can be explained with sleight-of-hand, fake props, etc. Some things don't really have a logical explanation as to how she's able to do them, like her "magic panties," or where she keeps Mr. Hat, which is bigger than she is. |
| 137 | * PluckyGirl: Trucy powers through several horrible experiences like a champ and still smiles through it all. |
| 138 | * ThePollyanna: Despite all the hardships she's gone through in her life as well as her father (really Prosecutorverse Phoenix who switched places with him) getting "amnesia" and has no memories of her, she braves through everything and is able to still smile and give support to everyone. |
| 139 | * PunnyName: Trucy is similar to "truth". Not to mention that her last name Wright is a pun on "right". |

| 151 | |
| 152 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's the youngest of the Fey's. She's 10 years younger than the second youngest of the Feys, her cousin - Maya. And she's 16 years younger than her half-sisters, Dahlia and Iris. |

| 154 | * BigSisterWorship: Even though she's her cousin, Maya is like a sister to her and she adores her so. |

| 157 | * CoolBigSis: Acts like this to Trucy, according to Phoenix. |

| 160 | * PracticallyDifferentGenerations: See TheBabyOfTheBunch. She’s 16 years younger than her twin half-sisters. |

| 192 | |
| 193 | Daughter to Manfred von Karma and a rival prosecutor that Phoenix has faced in the past. Franziska is a known perfectionist and rarely seen without her trademark whip, which she uses to intimidate and punish those around her. She returns to prosecute the case against Larry. |
| 194 | |
| 195 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: A lot of her strings of insults have this, like: |
| 196 | -->'''Franziska:''' Fool! He said sit down and be silent! Do not make us ask again you foolishly foolish foolhardy fool! |
| 197 | * TheBaroness: Whip-wielding ice queen. Interestingly, while plenty of other males find her Baroness nature sexy and enticing, Canonverse Phoenix (and Gumshoe) mostly just find her scary as hell. |
| 198 | * BerserkButton: |
| 199 | ** Do ''not'' refer to her as cute/adorable. |
| 200 | ** Dealing with [[SurroundedByIdiots foolishly foolish fools in the courtroom]]. |
| 201 | * TheBusCameBack: In terms of mainline games, we haven’t seen her since the trilogy era. Granted, there were the Miles Edgeworth spin offs but it’s still been a while. |
| 202 | * CharacterDevelopment: She wishes to beat Phoenix fair and square. While she’s still obsessed with perfection, she believes victory through cheating is not a perfect victory. |
| 203 | * ChildProdigy: Became a prosecutor at 13 years old. |
| 204 | * DeadpanSnarker: If she's not stinging people with her whip, odds are that she will with her words. |

| 206 | * FullNameBasis: Still addresses people by their full name besides a few exceptions like [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep the Judge]] and [[ButtMonkey Detective Gumshoe]]. |

| 209 | * HighClassGloves: Her fancy outfit includes black gloves. |
| 210 | * IconicItem: She's still got her trademark [[WhipOfDominance whip that she uses to assert herself]]. |
| 211 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Thanks to the CharacterDevelopment she's undergone. She is still harsh and aggressive, but she's much more honorable now. And she even shown concern for Prosecutorverse Phoenix when he collapsed during the first day of Larry's trial. |
| 212 | * LongHairIsFeminine: She wears her hair slightly longer now and in a half ponytail. |
| 213 | * TheNapoleon: She's about 5'3", but despite her short stature, several men and women are very afraid of her. |

| 218 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Franziska has a humorous rivalry with Mia when she's channeled to help Phoenix. |
| 219 | * SophisticatedAsHell: On one hand, Franziska tends to be overly formal, such as calling people by their [[FullNameBasis full names]]. On the other hand, she tends to [[HairTriggerTemper lapse]] into [[YouFool incoherent]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment insults]] when agitated. |

| 235 | * ClassyCravat: Still sports a nice cravat, as in all of his appearances. |
| 236 | * TheComicallySerious: He does his damndest to stay professional and composed no matter what, so it's inevitable that the plot will try to knock him off balance for the sake of comedy. |

| 258 | * BadassLongcoat: Wears the same coat he does in ''Dual Destinies.'' |
| 259 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Is pretty much a surrogate older brother to Athena and as the events of Dual Destinies show, he is very protective of her. |
| 260 | * CreepyShadowedUnderEyes: The bags under his eyes. They are there because he cried a lot in prison and never bothered to wipe his tear streaks. They give the appearance of a hawk's facial markings. |
| 261 | * DeadpanSnarker: Wouldn't be Blackquill if he wasn't snarky. |
| 262 | * EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Has a bit of an obsession with Japanese culture, especially the samurai and their lifestyle. |
| 263 | * FirstNameBasis: Only refers to his sister—Aura—and [[LikeBrotherAndSister Athena]] by their first names. Everyone else is referred by their last name with an honorific, or some kind of [[JerkAss demeaning]] [[TheNicknamer nickname]]. |
| 264 | * ForeignCultureFetish: See EverythingsBetterWithSamurai above. |
| 265 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Although Simon is about 10 years older than Athena, they "got along well" even when she was a child. |
| 266 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: In Chapter 9, Blackquill at first starts [[ShipTease teasing Athena about possibly dating Apollo]], which [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend she denies.]] Blackquill drops the teasing banter and had this to say. |
| 267 | -->'''Blackquill''': What a relief for Justice-dono's sake. If he was interested in pursuing a relationship with Cykes-dono's beloved daughter then he would have to prove himself worthy in an honorable duel of the blade. |

| 277 | One of Phoenix's childhood friends, and has been accused of murder yet again. This time he is accused of the murders of two women, one is the cousin of Lotta Hart, the other Lotta Hart’s friend. And he is also accused of the attempted murder of Lotta Hart, his current girlfriend. |
| 278 | |
| 279 | * AnalogyBackfire: When trying to prove he is innocent of the crime of attempted murder of his girlfriend, Larry professes his loyalty and love of said girlfriend, Lotta Hart. He does this by comparing his love for Lotta to famous StarCrossedLovers [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith in]] [[Film/TheTerminator pop]] [[Film/BramStokersDracula culture]]. [[RuleOfThree He does this 3 times in court]], much to the frustration of Prosecutorverse Phoenix who is trying to prove his innocence. |
| 280 | * ArtsyBeret: Wears one all the time now. |
| 281 | * BeAsUnhelpfulAsPossible: He wouldn’t be truthful at first with Prosecutorverse Phoenix (his Attorney who is trying to prove him innocent) his whereabouts on the night of the murders and attempted murder simply because he [[InsaneTrollLogic didn’t want Phoenix to steal his present idea for Lotta]], as Larry was out shopping during the night of the murder therefore giving him an alibi. |
| 282 | ** Also see AnalogyBackfire. |
| 283 | * BlushSticker: Pops up whenever he's flustered, which is often, as he has plenty of [[CasanovaWannabe good reasons]] [[TheDitz to be ashamed]]... |
| 284 | * TheBusCameBack: After being absent from the canon series since ''Investigations 2''. He appears in the DLC for ''Spirit of Justice'', but this fanfic takes place after ''Dual Destinies'', and the author started drafting the fic before playing the sixth mainline game. |
| 285 | * ButtMonkey: Has been accused of murder again, and the murdered include his girlfriend's cousin and friend. His antics are not tolerated by anyone in the court, even his own attorney. |
| 286 | * ChildhoodFriends: He's known Phoenix since they were eight. |
| 287 | * CloudCuckoolander: He has his moments in which he draws the most ridiculous conclusion from what he saw or heard. |
| 288 | * TheDitz: Probably why trouble follows him everywhere. |
| 289 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Prosecutorverse Phoenix wonders how on earth his counterpart and Edgeworth put up with him. (If only he knew even they get fed up with their [[ChildhoodFriend childhood friend’s]] antics several times in the past.) |
| 290 | * GeniusDitz: Despite being a huge idiot, Larry is a very talented artist. |
| 291 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Tries mimicking Phoenix when declaring in court that he is [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "not a monkey"]]. (Prosecutorverse Phoenix notes Franziska called Larry a "buffoon", not a "baboon".) He is promptly told to shut up and sit back down. |
| 292 | * HotBlooded: He has a tendency of abruptly screaming mid-sentence, and he gets extremely angry or emotional at the drop of a hat. |
| 293 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not malicious or intentionally a jerk, but he can be pretty obnoxious and overbearing. He's a good guy and means well however. |
| 294 | * MysteryMagnet: Some things never change. It’s not Larry if he isn’t stumbling onto a crime scene or being accused of a crime. Prosecutorverse Phoenix repeats the following familiar phrase to Mia: “When something smells, it’s usually the Butz”, so the Larry of the Prosecutorverse is no different than the our canon one in terms of being a trouble magnet. |
| 295 | * TheNicknamer: Nick", "Edgey", and "Franny" for Phoenix, Edgeworth, and Franziska respectively. |
| 296 | * OcularGushers: As in canon, he's prone to this. One instance has him sobbing his gratitude to Prosecutor Phoenix who isn't... quite sure on how to handle this. |
| 297 | * OlderThanHeLooks: The fic takes place 8 years after the events of the Investigations and Triology era games, he's barely shown any signs of ageing, unlike his friends. He certainly has not matured either. |
| 298 | * PhraseCatcher: "When something smells, it's usually the Butz." |
| 299 | * RenaissanceMan: Shockingly enough, Larry is naturally gifted in pretty much all artistic fields, including sculpting, painting and acting. |
| 300 | * VitriolicBestBuds: His relationships with both Canonverse Phoenix and Edgeworth can be summarized as this. |
| 301 | * WithFriendsLikeThese...: Generally, more of a liability and mooch than an ally. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold He does genuinely care about both Phoenix and Edgeworth, just less than he does about himself.]] |
| 302 | |
| 303 | !!Maxie Mumm |
| 304 | |
| 305 | A key witness to the case where Larry has been accused of murder. Talks like a stereotypical surfer. |
| 306 | |
| 307 | * TheNicknamer: Calls Phoenix "barb-head dude", much to Prosecutorverse Phoenix's annoyance. |
| 308 | * OriginalCharacter: A witness created for the fanfic. |
| 309 | * PunnyName: A pun on maximum. |
| 310 | * SpannerInTheWorks: It's starting to become clear someone is framing Larry for the murders of two women and attempted murder of Larry's girlfriend. Maxie however puts a wrench in this because he spoke with Larry at the store Maxie works at, during the time of the murder, strengthening Larry's alibi. |
| 311 | * TotallyRadical: He talks like a stereotypical surfer. |

| 321 | |
| 322 | In another universe, Phoenix Wright's childhood was changed drastically due to the violent deaths of his parents at the age of 10. He was adopted by Manfred von Karma and under his tutelage, eventually became a prosecutor. |
| 323 | |
| 324 | * AdoptiveNameChange: His surname was changed to von Karma after being adopted into the family and he apparently still goes by that when prosecuting outside of the states. However, he legally changed his last name back to Wright after returning to the states. |
| 325 | * AnimeHair: Has wild, spiky hair. |
| 326 | * BeneathTheMask: He comes off as arrogant and snobbish, but has his moments where he can be just as awkward and goofy like his canon self that he tries to hide. He also tries to hide his [[BrokenAce broken side]] with his pride and arrogance. |
| 327 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Cares deeply about Prosecutorverse Franziska, even when they first met as children and she didn’t like him, that never stopped him from wanting to look out for her and protect her. |
| 328 | * BlueIsHeroic: Much like his canon counterpart. |
| 329 | * BrokenAce: While Phoenix is brilliant, he is still quite broken over his parents' deaths. |
| 330 | * TheCasanova: Much to Canonverse Apollo's surprise, ever since his boss was hit with [[BlatantLies amnesia]], his boss is extremely skilled at flirting with the opposite sex. The author wanted to contrast him with Canonverse Phoenix who isn't as experienced in romance. |
| 331 | * ClassyCravat: Sports one. Apparently Prosecutorverse Franziska has always given him one each year as a gift for his birthday and Christmas, ever since he's become a prosecutor. He actually hates cravats and finds them itchy and uncomfortable, but always wears them because Franziska is always so happy to give them to him. |
| 332 | * CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Could actually understand Maxie Mumm's strange way of thinking and give it to Canonverse Apollo in layman's terms. Apparently he has a history of dealing with oddball witnesses like his canon counterpart so he's probably experienced with dealing with those types. |
| 333 | * ColorMotif: Blue just like his canon counterpart, see BlueIsHeroic. |
| 334 | * CutenessProximity: |
| 335 | ** He has this about his little sister, Prosecutorverse Franziska. Canonverse Franziska does not appreciate this when he calls her adorable in court. |
| 336 | ** He is slowly getting worn down by Canonverse Trucy despite only knowing her for a little over a day so far in the story. He can't help but be warmed up to Trucy's kind and bright personality. |
| 337 | * DeadpanSnarker: Canonverse Phoenix is pretty sarcastic but his alternate counterpart is even snarkier. |
| 338 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Chief Prosecutor [[OriginalCharacter Dinah]] [[PunnyName Mite]] refers to him as ''"Nixie Nix"''. |
| 339 | * EndearinglyDorky: See BeneathTheMask. He tries to maintain he's professional and arrogant, but he has his moments of dorkiness and awkwardness. |
| 340 | * FirstPersonSmartass: Shares this in common with his canon counterpart. |
| 341 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's arrogant, smug, and pompous, but deep down to his core he's still Phoenix Wright. Manfred von Karma couldn't scrub out his kind heart. |
| 342 | * LastNameBasis: Like his canon counterpart, he only refers to Miles by simply "Edgeworth". |
| 343 | * LivingLieDetector: Now that he has a magatama of his own, he is shaping up to be one. |
| 344 | * MeaningfulRename: Done twice. Manfred adopted him after his parents' death, making him Phoenix von Karma. Franziska informs Canonverse Phoenix that he still keeps the name Phoenix von Karma when prosecuting outside of the states. However when Phoenix came back to the states, he legally changed his name back when prosecuting in the states only to be his birth name - Phoenix Wright. She also angerly informs Edgeworth of this fact as well when he insinuated the von Karmas made Phoenix forget who he was: |
| 345 | -->'''Franziska:''' Foolish! Why do you think he came back to the states?! Why do you think he changed his name legally so when he lives in the states it's his old name?! He won't talk about it but I know it's because he never wants to forget where he came from! |
| 346 | * TheRival: Like canon, Phoenix and Edgeworth are this. Mia and Prosecutorverse Phoenix also have this to a lesser degree. |
| 347 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Is starting to get a platonic version of this dynamic with Canonverse Maya. And it's hinted from him that he has a similar dynamic with his universe's Kay Faraday, comparing Canonverse Maya to Kay. |
| 348 | * SharpDressedMan: While Canonverse Phoenix dresses nicely in a suit due to his profession, Prosecutorverse Phoenix is especially this. He's quite snobby about the clothes he wears and can apparently tell what kind of material a piece of cloth is made of just from touching it. He also looks down on Canonverse Phoenix for buying cheap material. |
| 349 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: He is of the same opinion on the stepladder vs ladder debate as his canon counterpart. |
| 350 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Certainly thinks this way when dealing with the zany members of the Wright Anything Agency, Maya, Larry, and [[TotallyRadical Maxie Mumm]]. |
| 351 | * TeenGenius: Phoenix became a prosecutor at the age of 17. Compare this to Canonverse Phoenix, who became an attorney several years after that. |
| 352 | * TraumaButton: Garages. This is due to finding his parents' corpses in the garage, traumatizing him when he was 10 years old. |
| 353 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Finding the corpses of your parents would cause any 10 year old kid's personality to be majorly screwed up. To make things worse, he was adopted and raised by Manfred von Karma. |
| 354 | * YouFool: Also prone to calling people fools, given that he was raised by Manfred von Karma. |
| 355 | |
| 356 | !!Franziska von Karma |
| 357 | |
| 358 | [[quoteright:284:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b976dcca_b6f2_4944_9294_6fcb91d916bb.jpeg]] |

| 360 | |
| 361 | She is the daughter of Manfred von Karma and adopted sister to Phoenix Wright. Franziska is regarded as a prosecuting genius — she became a prosecutor at the age of 13 and her win record in her homeland of Germany is spotless. Franziska is an extreme perfectionist and rarely seen without her trademark whip, which she uses to intimidate and punish those around her. |
| 362 | |
| 363 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Much like her canon counterpart. |
| 364 | -->'''Franziska:''' Why are you not responding to any of my calls or texts?! This is most unbecoming and foolish! The most foolishly foolish foolhardy foolishness! Cease this silence and respond to me! ''[[YouFool You fool]]!!'' |
| 365 | * AmoralAttorney: She was raised by Manfred von Karma unfortunately. And hasn’t undergone the CharacterDevelopment her canon counterpart has. |
| 366 | * ArchEnemy: To Edgeworth and Mia. |
| 367 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Defied. While she is the youngest of the "von Karmas" but she refuses to act like it — instead, she's got an abrasive, cold personality. But she does have a [[MoralityPet soft spot]] for her adoptive older brother, Phoenix Wright. |
| 368 | * TheBaroness: Similar to her canon counterpart. |
| 369 | * BeneathTheMask: She's cold and harsh, but has a soft side deep down. She keeps up the cold front to hide her insecurities and doubts. |
| 370 | * BigSisterInstinct: Well she's his adoptive ''little'' sister, but she's still quite protective of Phoenix. |
| 371 | * BrokenAce: |
| 372 | ** Despite being a [[ChildProdigy child prodigy]], she was very broken up about her mother [[ParentalAbandonment abandoning her and her father]] while she was very small. And the story hints that Manfred is no better of a father than his canon counterpart. She clings to her only emotional support, her adoptive brother Phoenix. But even then she refuses to show how broken or vulnerable she is with even Phoenix unless they are in private. |
| 373 | ** Phoenix getting [[TakingTheBullet shot to protect her]] extremely rattled her. |
| 374 | * ChildProdigy: Like her canon counterpart, she became a prosecutor when she was 13 years old. |
| 375 | * DeadpanSnarker: Like her canon counterpart, if she's not stinging people with her whip, odds are that she will with her words. |
| 376 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Just like canon, her constant repetition of the word “fool” often falls into this. |
| 377 | * FullNameBasis: Like her canon counterpart she has a habit of addressing nearly everyone by their full name (minus a few exceptions). To the point that even when a chapter has a section from her perspective the third person narration even will address other characters by their full name. |
| 378 | * HairTriggerTemper: Pity the [[YouFool fool]] who triggers her wrath. |
| 379 | * HelloAttorney: She's a prosecutor, but she's described to be a gorgeous woman. |
| 380 | * HighClassGloves: Her fancy outfit includes black gloves. |
| 381 | * HotBlooded: See HairTriggerTemper. |
| 382 | * IconicItem: Just like her canon counterpart she's rarely ever seen without her whip. |
| 383 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's even frostier than Canonverse Franziska, due to the lack of CharacterDevelopment. Despite this she still has a soft spot for her adoptive brother and is very protective of him. |
| 384 | * LongHairIsFeminine: She has long hair, compared to the bob she has in Justice For All. |
| 385 | * MissingMom: A flashback establishes Franziska's mother to have left Manfred and Franziska even before Prosecutorverse Phoenix was adopted. |
| 386 | * MoralityPet: Edgeworth notes that despite how corrupted her father taught her to be as an attorney, she does truly care deeply for her adoptive brother, Phoenix. |
| 387 | * [[MySisterIsOffLimits My Brother Is Off Limits]]: Franziska has this mindset with Prosecutorverse Phoenix. She wasn't impressed with Dinah Mite for hitting on Phoenix. |
| 388 | * TheNapoleon: She's about 5'3", just like her Canonverse counterpart. |
| 389 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Toward Edgeworth and Mia. |
| 390 | * ParentalAbandonment: Her mother left her daughter and husband when she was very young, before Phoenix was adopted into the family. |
| 391 | * ThePerfectionist: So much so, that Canonverse Phoenix used this to his advantage to help Mia and Edgeworth to stall for more time, by pointing out that an easy victory against Edgeworth isn't really a worthwhile or perfect one. This convinces her to call for a recess. |
| 392 | * PetTheDog: She hates Edgeworth and his family, despite this she still expresses her condolences to Edgeworth about his father's murder. |
| 393 | * SophisticatedAsHell: Just like Canonverse Franziska. |
| 394 | * {{Tsundere}}: Just like her canon counterpart. |
| 395 | * VerbalTic: Just like Canonverse Franziska, she really loves calling people [[YouFool fools]]. |
| 396 | * WhipOfDominance: Just like her canon counterpart, she's very fond of whipping anyone who even so much as annoys her. Not even her precious adoptive brother is safe. |
| 397 | * YouFool: Just like her canon counterpart, she's quite fond of any and all variations of calling someone a fool. |

| 407 | * ArchEnemy: To Franziska. |
| 408 | * BerserkButton: Franziska pressed it when she insinuated he doesn't understand what she's going through by watching her adoptive brother cling to life after he was shot. Edgeworth harshly reminds her that she isn't the only one who fears losing a loved one. And then reminds her that she at least has a chance to say goodbye if it came to it, he never got the chance with his father. |
| 409 | * TheComicallySerious: Much like his canon counterpart. He is also often dragged into antics by Maya. |
| 410 | * ConsummateProfessional: Just like his Canonverse counterpart. Tragically to his detriment. As it was this attitude he needs to keep a calm and professional front to be strong for everyone, that he didn’t allow himself to grieve over the death of his father. |
| 411 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Just like his canon counterpart. |
| 412 | * DeadpanSnarker: Much like his canon counterpart, he’s got very dry wit and can snark with the best of them. |

| 414 | -->'''Canonverse Phoenix:''' He was still trying to process her nickname for Edgeworth. Nick was a normal nickname for anyone, it wasn't the least bit embarrassing. Miley on the other hand... how the heck did he not die from shame hearing her call him that in public? |

| 486 | * AmbiguousSituation: |
| 487 | ** For some reason she's adopted by Simon, despite the UR-1 incident never happening. Something must have happened to her [[MissingMom mother]] in order for her to be adopted by Simon Blackquill. |

| 534 | |
| 535 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's 16 years younger than her older half-sister, Iris. |
| 536 | * BadassAdorable: She has pretty good aim when using boots, so much so that she caused even the police to hesitate on their investigation because they feared of being pelted by the teenage girl holding up in the Edgeworth & Fey Law Offices. |
| 537 | * CheerfulChild: Well cheerful teen, much like her canon counterpart. |
| 538 | * ChildProdigy: Is just as naturally gifted at being a spirit medium as her canon counterpart. |

| 541 | * MissingMom: Morgan's fate and whereabouts are unknown at this time. |
| 542 | * {{Nephewism}}: Instead of Misty, Morgan is out of the picture. Due to this, Misty raised Pearl. |
| 543 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Just like her canon counterpart, she's 17 going on 18 but looks like she's 14. |
| 544 | * PinkMeansFeminine: She wears more pink in her outfit as opposed to light purple like canon. |

| 571 | Due to the DL-6 case never occurring, Gregory doesn’t die yet. A couple years after the deaths of the Wrights, he ended up meeting Misty Fey after rescuing her daughters from a train hijack. They fell in love and eventually married. As his son and older stepdaughter grew older and became defense attorneys, he mentored them and they worked at the same firm. Unfortunately... Gregory ended up being murdered for reasons currently unknown... and his stepdaughter Mia is the prime suspect. |
| 572 | |
| 573 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His hair might have gotten slightly gotten white on the sides due to age, Gregory has gray hair and gray eyes, just like his son. |
| 574 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Gregory lives longer in this universe but [[DoomedByCanon ultimately still gets murdered]] before the start of the story. In canon he was shot, in this story he dies from being pushed out of a window. |
| 575 | * DoomedByCanon: As stated in DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation. He lived longer in this universe, but he was ultimately doomed to be murdered eventually. |
| 576 | * GoodParents: |
| 577 | ** Gregory is portrayed as an excellent father, both to his biological son and his stepdaughters, Mia and Maya. |
| 578 | ** He does his best to comfort his son and Phoenix after both are terribly distraught about the deaths of the Mr. and Mrs. Wright. |
| 579 | ** Iris and Pearl (the latter especially) both miss him greatly, implying he’s a surrogate father to them both. |
| 580 | * SecondLove: He and Misty found love with each other years after they've had their children. |
| 581 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Unfortunately... while Gregory got to live about 25 years more than his canon counterpart, he was still murdered in this universe. |
| 582 | |

| 588 | The mother of Mia and Maya Fey and the stepmother of Miles Edgeworth, as well as the current Master to the Kurain Channeling Technique. |
| 589 | |
| 590 | * HappilyMarried: Is implied to be this with Gregory. |
| 591 | * GoodParents: |
| 592 | ** Is this to both her daughters and stepson. |
| 593 | ** Morgan’s fate is unknown but Misty stepped in for Iris and Pearl. |
| 594 | * GoodStepmother: To Edgeworth, she basically is his mother. She’s always treated him like one of her own. And when Edgeworth bottles up his pain and grief over his father’s death, Misty helps him open up. As well as provides him much needed comfort when he finally allows himself to grieve. |
| 595 | * GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She is very elegant and well mannered. As her character art shows she also wears purple. |
| 596 | * MamaBear: Implied. She vows to Mia when she visits her in the detention center that she refuses to let them take her daughter away from her. And despite her gentle demeanor she was able to firmly order a guard out of the detention center just so she can have some alone time to speak with her stepson to comfort him. Considering her Canonverse counterpart went to great lengths to protect Maya, it's no surprise her Prosecutorverse counterpart has shades of this as well. |
| 597 | * SecondLove: She and Gregory found love with each other years after they've had their children. |
| 598 | * SilkHidingSteel: Is a kind woman but has a will of iron. |
| 599 | * YamatoNadeshiko: An elegant woman who is kind and gentle. She is a loving wife and mother/stepmother. However she can be stern and has a strong will. |

| 606 | The UR-1 incident never happened, he remained a prosecutor, for reasons still unknown he adopted Athena. He also briefly interned under Prosecutor Phoenix when studying law. |
| 607 | |
| 608 | * AdoptivePeerParent: He adopted Athena, who is ten years younger than him. |
| 609 | * AmbiguousSituation: The UR-1 incident never happened, but apparently he still goes by the title of "Twisted Samurai" despite never going to jail. How he got it is unclear at this time. Also how it came to be that he adopted Athena. Something must have happened to lead to that, but at this time we're still in the dark. |
| 610 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Under his long-coat is a sharply dressed business suit. |
| 611 | * BadassLongcoat: Not as fancy as his canon counterpart, but he still has a cool long-coat. |
| 612 | * DeadpanSnarker: He may be less grim compared to his canon counterpart, but he’s still snarky. |
| 613 | * EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Just like his canon counterpart, he has a love for Japanese culture and samurai. |
| 614 | * FirstNameBasis: Everyone else is called by their last name with an honorific. With the exception of his girlfriend; he calls her by her first name with an honorific, “Maya-chan”. And just like canon, he refers to Athena by her first name. |
| 615 | * ForeignCultureFetish: See EverythingsBetterWithSamurai above. |
| 616 | * InSpiteOfANail: For currently [[AmbiguousSituation unknown reasons]], he still goes by the title of "Twisted Samurai" despite never going to jail like his canon counterpart. |
| 617 | * OppositesAttract: Blackquill has this with his girlfriend, Maya. |
| 618 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: He’s tall and dark haired, but he also lacks the [[CreepyShadowedUnderEyes severe bags under his eyes]], just as handsome as the younger Simon Blackquill was in the flashback images of ''Dual Destinies''. |
| 619 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: Similar to his canon counterpart. |
| 620 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: No UR-1 incident means he was never arrested for a crime he didn’t commit. He prosecuted instead still all that time and even adopted Athena. He’s by no means a cheerful man, but he’s definitely a lot less morbid compared to his canon counterpart. He still seems to go by the Twisted Samurai however for reasons unknown at this time. |
| 621 | * {{Troll}}: He couldn’t resist messing with Klavier in Chapter 6. |

| 631 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Just like canon, both a prosecutor and a rock star. |
| 632 | * TheCharmer: One of Klavier's defining traits is his charm. |
| 633 | * CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Surprisingly enough, he’s this with his assistant/band manager, instead of the other way around. To Phoenix she’s like an emotionless robot, but Klavier seems to understand when she’s angry, embarrassed, or happy. |
| 634 | * TheGadfly: He hasn’t had a major appearance yet compared to canon, but he shows shades of this with his teasing attitude towards Phoenix and Blackquill. |

| 647 | * HotLibrarian: Despite her emotionless demeanor, Phoenix notes she's extremely beautiful in that "business sort of way". |
| 648 | * HypercompetentSidekick: With how Klavier brags about her, she's the one keeping his life together. |
| 649 | * OriginalCharacter: A brand new character created for this story. |
| 650 | * PunnyName: Laura Norder is a pun for "Law and Order". |

| 658 | Phoenix's deceased parents, who died when Phoenix was only 10 years old. The identity of their murderer is one of the biggest mysteries of the story. |
| 659 | |
| 660 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Phoenix viewed Phoebe lavishing affection on him as this. |
| 661 | * DeathByAdaptation: They are never mentioned in canon, but they are never mentioned to be dead. In this story they were both murdered. |
| 662 | * DeathByOriginStory: Their deaths are the catalyst for pushing the other universe's Phoenix to becoming a prosecutor. |
| 663 | * GoodParents: They love Phoenix very dearly. |
| 664 | * HappilyMarried: This is implied with their gentle bickering, even with a break-in into their house. |
| 665 | * OriginalCharacter: His parents were never mentioned in canon, they were created specifically for this fanfic. |
| 666 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Nicholas’s son takes after him a lot in looks, even down to the eyebrow shape. |
| 667 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: They were both very good people. Unfortunately they still met with a brutal end. |
