* CorruptPolitician: He's not the real owner of the Founder's Orb, despite what he claims, and he murdered Professor Archie Buff. Oh, and did we mention he's in cahoots with Justice Minister Inga Karkhuul Khura'in.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When you first get a look at him, he's clearly drunk... and perhaps a bit of an idiot. But when you consider the fact that he has the sense of balance still to keep that stack of soba trays balanced, not to mention ride around on a skateboard... all while hungover, it becomes clear that he's got some impressive skills.

But when you consider the fact that he has the sense of balance still to keep that stack of soba trays balanced, not to mention ride around on a skateboard... all while hungover, it becomes clear that he's got some impressive skills. This trait of his is confirmed when he serves noodles to the court as ''evidence'', proving that the perfume Owen described couldn't be his because if he wore perfume, it would get on the noodles.

* TheKillerInMe: Invoked and subverted. The main three alters don't share memories with Owen, so when they came to with a dead Taifu, they assumed this and tampered with the crime scene. Athena assumed this was the case too until Owen, who is a little (a younger persona - specifically, he's ''five'') and ProneToTears, is forced out. He's actually the most harmless of the four and a SurpriseWitness.

* {{Irony}}: She's with the Defiant Dragons while also being a fan of ''The Plumed Punisher'', a propaganda show that demonizes the Defiant Dragons. Then again, this might be on purpose, openly consuming propaganda to divert any suspicion that she could possibly be a rebel.

** Kidnapping Maya turned out to be perhaps the most boneheaded choice he could've made because, unlike Shelly de Killer back in ''Justice for All'', Inga (and thus Ashtison) ''needs Maya alive'' as their plan involves a spirit medium channeling the Holy Mother. [[spoiler: Ga'ran has no power herself]], Rayfa's powers are currently limited to Divination Seances, Amara is missing & presumed dead, and good luck persuading Pearl to channel someone for the assholes who kidnapped her cousin, so Maya is their ''only'' option. Phoenix calling their bluff puts them in a MortonsFork: either their plans are ruined because they don't have the Founder's Orb, or they kill Maya and ruin their plans because they couldn't use the Orb even if they ''did'' somehow retrieve it.

* {{Expy}}: He has a number of similarities to [[spoiler:Matt Engarde]] from ''Justice for All'': Phoenix Wright is forced to be his client because Maya Fey is being held hostage, both characters have a publicity-centric facade while being shallow and petty in reality, are both guilty of murder, are in cahoots with another villain, and ultimately end up being defeated due to a loophole they haven't accounted for.

* LaughablyEvil: He might be a murderer, but his [[LargeHam scenery-chewing musical testimonies]] make him a larger-than-life comedic presence in court.



* TheFakeCutie: Initially very cutesy on the witness stand, saying almost BabyTalk-like phrases such as "with a twisty-twist-twist" and "one, two, bloon!" But she hides a short temper and a jealous side, and she's actually the killer.



* PsychoPink: Wears a bright pink wig, and is the murderer of Taifu Toneido.



* PunnyName: Persnickety, meaning 'requiring a precise or careful approach'. While this fits his role as a repairman, this also foreshadows his past as a surgeon.

* BigFriendlyDog: Not ''yet'', but he's still just a puppy; as a Tibetan Mastiff, he's going to grow up to be huge.



* PreciousPuppy: He is a little, cute red and tan puppy. Since Tibetan Mastiffs get really big when they grow up, he has to be a puppy to rest on Ahlbi's head.

* GutturalGrowler: Initially, his words are like a hippie, spoken with a lazy drawl and peppering his phrases with stereotypical words like "harshing" and "man". Once he breaks his façade, he starts speaking like a death metal singer, complete with his vocal sound effects turning into something that sounds like feedback static to reflect the change.



* {{Metalhead}}: Once Phoenix breaks down enough of his testimonies, Andistan'dhin removes his headband and plugs it into his guitar. On top of having the look of one, being a long-haired bearded man with a face full of Music/{{KISS}}-like makeup, his VoiceGrunting deepens to a [[GutturalGrowler growl]] and he begins ChewingTheScenery like a stereotypical rock musician.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse


* DoesNotLikeShoes: The few images of him in life showed him with no shoes, as is standard for priests. He does wear shoes later; specifically, Maya's sandals as she channels him.



* DoesNotLikeShoes: Appears barefoot at all times even during the court session, unusually for a wheelchair-bound person. Made even more obvious by the fact she's a {{Hikikomori}} and that, as soon as Armie finally gets out of the wheelchair, she remains barefoot on the floors of the Defendant Lobby for a while.

Armie explains that this is because the drone is equipped with a voice modulation device.
