Occupation: Unemployed. Used to work small jobs as a teenager, but gets most of her money from the cult now.

Wears strange clothes (a halter-like top, arm warmers and jeans with serpent designs on them), with a plush millipede draped around her that she never seems to take off. Her hair is blue and short, and her eyes are gold. Her eyebrows grow out strangely, like antennae.
Brief Personality Description: Milla is the center of a strange cult that believes her to be the reincarnation of an ancient god of insects and related creatures. Because of this, she has an inflated ego, and often simply uses her followers for her own doing. Underneath it all, however, she is somewhat dependant on her own fantasies and beliefs, and is somewhat naive and trusting of others.
Before she became the center of the strange 'cult', Milla was an avid singer and was in her high school chorus, and often took part in musicals.
Connection to canon characters: Milla is a huge fan of Matt Engarde, and has a small Nickel Samurai shrine in her house. Being the naive person she is, she still believes in his innocence.
Brief Background: Milla was born to parents who divorced when she was about 3 years old, leaving her with her extremely liberal dad. Milla's cult started when a retired mythology professor named Prof. Bush noticed her unusual eyebrows and devotion to insects, mollusks, and the like. He began the cult, gathering believers from around the world. Milla continued life as normal, occasionally going to cult meetings and meeting members of the group. Milla was the defendant of the case State vs. Pé, and on trial for the murder of Cenn Tio, one of the prominent members of her cult, and her boyfriend. Milla believes she could have done it under her 'god''s influence, but her lawyer believes otherwise.
The Truth: As the true leader of the cult, Prof. Bush received lots of money from Milla. When Cenn told Milla she should leave the cult and start a new life with him, the Prof. overheard and decided that in order to keep the money coming in, he would have to kill Cenn to keep Milla in the cult.
After the cult discovered Prof. Bush's treachery, it broke up, and Milla used her leftover money to pay for college, and is currently training to be a defense aide, forever in debt to the lawyer who proved her innocence.

Character's Name: Daniel Alexander Pierce
Age: 23
Occupation: Prosecutor, former understudy to Miles Edgeworth
Brief Physical Description: Pierce is approximately 5’ 8” and about 210 lbs. He has shoulder-length blond hair and sapphire-blue eyes, rimmed by glasses. His usual attire consists of a cravat, vest and shirt, a la Miles Edgeworth, a black leather trench coat, black fingerless gloves, black dress pants and black boots.
Brief Personality Description: Normally, outside of the courtroom, Pierce can act very childish, if not totally hyper and immature, to mask his uncanny intelligence and wit to those he doesn’t trust, or just to amuse himself. He is, however, very serious when he must be, taking everything he can learn into consideration. In the courtroom, he becomes perpetually serious and determined, letting himself shine where he it counts most to him. He is easily stressed out, and at times, overly dramatic – sometimes to the point where, when shocked, lets himself fall to the ground in an overly grand display. He has also picked up several mannerisms from Edgeworth, and at times will emulate him out of habit.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Former understudy to Miles Edgeworth
Brief Background: Pierce was raised in America, studying law after becoming a paralegal. However, due to a family tragedy, he was pulled from law school and moved to Japan, where he once again attempted to enroll to finish his education. Once in school again, he sought a job under Miles Edgeworth around the time of GS2, whom he idolized. After studying Pierce and evaluating his potential, Edgeworth allowed Pierce to work for him as a travel companion. At the time Edgeworth was called back to assist Phoenix in case 5 of GS3, Pierce had finished his education both in law school and under Edgeworth. Upon returning to Japan, he applied to the Prosecutor’s Office and was readily accepted with a recommendation by Edgeworth. Since then, he has shown great talent and promise, but never showed fear to lose a case in the name of justice, as Edgeworth had taught him. As such, while he does not maintain a perfect record, he is still a talented prosecutor.

Brief Background: A single heiress to an estate property in Wales, Salinger was keen to escape her upbringing from the moment she began board in her current school.

Sprite Category 2nd Place and Croik's Choice!
Character's Name: Jamie Alohra, nicknamed Jimmie
Age: 21
Occupation: Fashion designer
Brief Physical Description: A young woman with slightly wavy, blonde hair, with an orange hair clip. Her eyes are a dark shade of green and she wears a light green sweater that hangs over one shoulder. Sweater has a sun and moon design in yellow. She wears blue skinny jeans, copper tinted. She is of average height, if not a on the short side.
Brief Personality Description: Jimmie is incredibly sarcastic and sassy. To a stranger, it seems as though she is simply rude to everyone she meets, although she actually has two types of sass. She uses cold sarcasm towards people she dislikes, not even hiding the fact that she dislikes them, whereas she sasses the people whom she likes warmly, often in more joking manner. Jimmie is not really a "responsible adult", though she doesn't really need to be. Money-wise, if she didn't do her job, which she enjoys very much, she wouldn't have to worry since her father left her a large inheritance, being an only child and all. She is sometimes a little lazy, due to the fact that she is a pessimist.
A little bit on how "Jamie" becomes "Jimmie": Jamie = James (like Julia = Jules/Jewls/etc) =Jimmy = Jimmie
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Past witness in one of Phoenix's trials, defendant in one of Apollo's cases
Brief Background: Jimmie has a characteristically tragic childhood. When she was seven her parents became divorced. She lived with her mother, who remarried, but when Jimmie was thirteen, her biological father was murdered. Her stepfather, whom Jimmie disliked, was the main suspect and was found innocent by Phoenix. Although her stepfather was truthfully innocent (since Phoenix would never get an acquittal for someone who was actually guilty), Jimmie chose never to believe it and began to dislike most defense attorneys, deciding that they would only work to get a 'Not Guilty' verdict, not caring for what actually happened.
So, when she was arrested and charged with murder, Phoenix prompted Apollo to defend her, maybe trying to change her outlook on defense attorneys (but who knows what goes through Phoenix's mind). Jimmie wasn't a cooperative defendant, not trusting Apollo at all. In the end, she was rightfully found innocent, and began to believe in defense attorneys again, apologizing heavily to Phoenix and Apollo.

Character's Name: Rose Avocat (Pink Lawyer), formerly Rose Policiere (Pink Policeman) / Momoi Genkokuni (Prosecutor in Pink), formerly Momoi Junsani (Policeman in Pink)
Age: 22
Occupation: Detective
Brief Physical Description: A young Caucasian woman with dark hair, with bright red eyes that seem to look straight at you, who likes to dress in cute outfits. Has a habit of being mistaken for a defense lawyer, due to the fact that she often wears her older brother's badge as a constant reminder of why she's the way she is. Looks young enough to be a schoolgirl.
Brief Personality Description: When you meet Rose for the first time she is very quiet and very shy, saying nothing at all. But once she gets to know you she's quite friendly and polite—sometimes even a little mysterious. Rose loves being cryptic and has a huge understanding of the things going around her at all times. She is also quite honest, but careful of her word choice. She has made more than one defense attorney cry due to her ability to give a straight up testimony with no extra flippery—just the facts. Despite her young looks and—sometimes—teasing ways, Rose is very intelligent—more so than the average detective. Secretly a Steel Samurai fan.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): Maya Fey's friend; they met during a Steel Samurai convention. One of Apollo's clients. Once finished schooling in Ivy she became a detective in Ema Skye's precinct and works with her and those in the prosecutor's office. Also a victim of Shelly deKiller.
Brief Background: Rose is one of three fraternal triplets who were separated at a very young age after her father was supposedly murdered by their mother, who was a cop chasing after Shelly de Killer at the time. Her older brother, Briar, was sent to a wealthy family; Rose ended up with some family friends who were also on the force and their younger sister, Valentine, had been abducted under mysterious circumstances during their mother's trial. Of the three, according to her foster parents, Rose was the only one who knew her real origins and, to this day, believes in her mother's innocence, by now long executed.
Rose was intelligent and ended up skipping several grades until reaching police academy, intent on following the foot steps of her mother before her—if only so she could finally prove the innocence of her mother whose name was now taboo word in the local precinct. Rose had managed to track down her older brother who had taken up law as a profession at a rather young age until a rather traumatic defeat forced him into seclusion for a while. The two met officially after years of separation when they both went back to school (Briar in the Art Department and Rose in Literature) where they find out that they both were well-informed of their past and that there was another sibling still missing from the equation that is their strange family. While studying there, the two began to grow close as well as closer to the truth behind their mother's guilty verdict. Of course, just as the two were about to make a break through, Briar is found murdered in his dorm room and none other by Rose. Things get crazy from then as her own little drama engulfs the world of one Phoenix Wright and his 'little helpers' as he gets a call from an old friend he didn't ever expect: Maya Fey.
Apollo is sent to take on Rose's case wherein the bare basics of Rose is found out. She graduated from police academy already, but wanted to learn a little bit about Literature, hence why she went to attend Ivy as it was close to the place she called home (home being where her heart was and that was for Briar, who everyone thought was her boyfriend as neither looked alike and had different last names; Briar Advocat and Rose Policiere). Rose would end up keeping a lot hidden, while also speaking nothing, but the truth, living up to her personal motto, 'Ask and I shall tell you no lies'. Although, this does not necessarily mean she would be willing to give away everything. During this case, Rose would prove to be the most difficult witness in the history of the Wright Anything Agency in terms of withholding information and having the inability to have her habits perceived or her testimony turned about on its head. This is how she earns the nickname 'She-Who-Makes-Defense-Attorneys-Cry'.
After being cleared of all charges, she joined up at the local precinct, beginning her real investigation of her mother's case all those years ago. She would wind up taking part of various other cases throughout her short career (earning her the new nickname of 'Pretty Pop Princess' when she went undercover as a guest singer at a prominent band's concert), but it would wind down, eventually one thing: the truth behind her father's death.
Rose would end up paying the ultimate price to prove that her mother hadn't been the one to kill her father when she becomes the victim to long time assassin (who was still alive in spite of his years) Shelly de Killer, during another case which ties the cases related to Rose altogether, where Valentine de Killer, Briar's true murderer and Rose's long lost little sister, is caught and put on trial. Knowing she wouldn't have come out of this particular trial alive, Rose had the foresight to alert Maya Fey to summon her spirit in the case she really did die before the time was right, in order to help tie all the cases together as well as get the real killer: Shelly.
In the end, Rose got exactly what she wanted: the truth. Shelly had been hired by a mob boss to off Blanca della Muerta, an ex-crime boss who went straight after he married his young wife, Noir della Muerta, née Noir Lumiere, leaving his second, one Ruje Haringue in charge. Ruje became the current mob boss who, frightened that Blanca would rat him out because of his wife, hired Shelly to out him. Shelly had assassinated Blanca, but not wanting any loose ends, Ruje sent his goons to make it look like Noir had done it. Eventually, Noir was convicted of murdering her own husband and then sentenced to death. Apparently, feeling honorbound in a sense to the woman who had been accused in his place, Shelly adopted (read: kidnapped) Valentine and raised her to be the next de Killer.
Rose's last words before leaving the world forever were to her sister: 'I kept looking for you—I should have known you were looking, too.'
Other: About five months before her last trial, Rose was diagnosed with Incuritis, hence her knowing she would wind up dead sooner or later anyways.

Character's Name: Donna Cruz
Age: 29
Occupation: Prosecutor
Brief Physical Description: 5ft.8, blue-green eyes and longish auburn hair. She dresses somewhat informally for the courtroom and wears fingerless gloves because she claims they help her write faster. She wears glasses and always carries a bag around her waist containing several newspapers and pens.
Brief Personality Description: Donna is completely unenthused with being a lawyer—she spends most of the time during a trial doing crossword puzzles, and often pays little attention to the proceedings. Occasionally she allows herself to become wrapped up in arguing a case, since the mystery-solving aspect appeals to her, but she does not care one way or another about "the truth," or even whether she is on the winning or losing side.
Connection to Cannon Characters: Donna first hears about Phoenix Wright because of his investigations into the Cadaverini family for his defense of Maggey Byrde. When in a future trial he manages to expose and convict an actual member of the Cadaverinis, Donna remembers how meddling with that family led to the loss of her best friend. Not wanting to see someone else's life destroyed in the same way, she decides to face Phoenix in court, hoping that a defeat will discourage him from further investigation.
She also works in the same building as Miles Edgeworth, but doesn't really interact with him aside from occasionally asking him for help with a crossword clue.
Brief Background: Donna became a prosecutor as part of a plan to help one of her best friends take down the man who killed her parents, Bruto Cadaverini. But when the third member of their group betrayed them in the last stage of their plan, Cadaverini ended up walking free while her friend was convicted instead, and placed on death row.
Having given up her dream of being a screenwriter in order to become a prosecutor, Donna then found herself alone and unable to write in the way she once had. Trapped in her unwanted career, she simply goes through the motions of each trial assigned to her, caring more about doing the daily crossword than about the people she may or may not find guilty.

It had been a simple mugging, but his parents had resisted and they lost their lives for it. He'd been close to being killed too but before the killer had the chance the police arrived. The killer ran away scared and got away. Thankfully his testimony and description was enough to bring the guy in. Kiesan was made to testify in court, and was mortified as the defense made out his whole testimony to be a lie. The court believed this and because of the lack of decisive evidence the murderer was found innocent. He lost all of his faith in justice that day.

Character's Name: Toruko Kinaga | トルコ 気長
Age: 21
Occupation: Defense Attorney
Brief Physical Description: Part Japanese, part Chinese female that dyed her once raven black hair with her favorite color, turquoise. She's 5'4 and has blue eyes. She always wears something blue, even when she's at home. She wears a light blue collar blouse under her navy blue suit. She wears a choker that is connected to a metal bordered glass circle.
Brief Personality Description: Toruko is patient, blunt, and respectful in court though she is sometimes sarcastic when something really annoys at her. First impressions affect her entire opinion about anything and she often jumps to conclusions though Toruko is able to collect her thoughts soon afterwards. She's also got a good pokerface which helps her bluffs in a trial seem real as well as card games. Most of the time her clients, family members, and friends can't read her emotions. In fact, the only time where they can see a hint of emotion from her is when she yells 'OBJECTION!'
Toruko has a dry sense of humor which sometimes helps her think outside of the box, which even helps her during a trial. Because she has a certain code against defending felons, she absolutely must talk with her clients and gain their trust before agreeing to defend them. (She has a certain item that helps her know if her client is really innocent or guilty if there's little time on her hand.)
She's got a childlike obsession with anything that's got even a tiny hint of blue. She also enjoys running daily and dances to R&B and techno. Toruko hates loud annoying noises and loves to be in quiet places, except a mental institution or an asylum.
Connection to canon characters (if applicable): None
Brief Background: Toruko was born in Hong Kong but she was raised in Southern California most of her life. She never thought about going into a career involving law but when she read 'To Kill A Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, her opinion completely changed. The way Atticus had defended Tom Robinson had moved Toruko enough to start thinking about how innocent people are accused of doing something they did not do and what she could do to help them.
Toruko's got a little problem with her bangs, they often interrupt her speeches during a trial and she hates having to blow them off her face. The annoy her to the point where she almost cuts her bangs off but leaves them alone because when they're cut off, they'll reveal the unequally tanned part of her face.
That little glass that Toruko wears around her neck is actually some mystical item that acts sort of like a looking glass that was given to her by her mother. When she touches it, everything around her fades out and she can look into a person's soul. She can only see/feel things like emotions and memories that the person has not blocked out and see things through the soul's perspective. The secret to her insight on her client's innocence is the amount of guilt she can dig up from them. (Sometimes that's not the case, especially if her client had something to do with the case that they can't tell her.) She has a time limit to how long she can look around the soul without harming herself. However, if she makes any wrong moves, she'll be forced out of the soul and barred from looking into it again. The force is so strong that it cracks the mirror a little bit. Once the mirror shatters completely, it will instantly kill Toruko.
Extra things:
Reasoning behind her name: Toruko means Turquoise in Japanese which is also her favorite color and Kinaga means patient/ leisurely which is her main attitude in court.
Reasoning behind glass choker: The glass choker symbolizes the risks Toruko will take to prove her client's innocence. In a way, it's also like her lifeline.
