Phoenix Wright
Main article: Phoenix Wright (character)Phoenix Wright ( 成歩堂 龍一 , Naruhodō Ryūichi ? ) is a defense attorney and the protagonist of the first three games, as well as being a secondary character in Apollo Justice . In his childhood, he befriended Larry Butz and Miles Edgeworth. He was accused of murder while studying art in college, but was successfully defended by Mia Fey. He changed his career to law and eventually joined up with Mia's office. After Mia was murdered, Phoenix inherited the office, renaming it "Wright and Co.", and continued his work as a defense attorney. In the courtroom, Phoenix was known for wildly guessing at the truth, allowing him to "turnabout" the court to his favor.
During a case seven years prior to the events of Apollo Justice , two months after Trials and Tribulations , he was forced to forfeit his attorney's badge after presenting evidence that, unknown to him, was forged. Two weeks later he adopted the talented Trucy Wright as his daughter after his client Enigmar vanished. Some time later, Wright's Law and Co Office was renamed "Wright Talent Agency". Seven years later, now sporting a toque, casual hoody and pants, he was an undefeated Poker player in a bar where he worked as a pianist. When he was accused of murder again and found innocent by greenhorn defense attorney Apollo Justice, Phoenix offered Apollo a position in his agency. Because Apollo joined the agency, Phoenix then renamed the agency to the "Wright Anything Agency".
Later on, it's revealed that he retained Maya's Magatama, and it was also implied that he had, to some extent, stayed in contact with his friends from the previous games. During the credits of Apollo Justice , he is seen considering either taking piano lessons or taking the Bar exam again. His English name is a play on the words "phoenix", the bird that rises from its own ashes, and a homonym on the word "right". His Japanese surname is a pun on the phrase 'naruhodo', meaning 'I see'. He is voiced by Shū Takumi and Ben Judd in the Japanese and English games respectively, by Takayuki Kondō in promotional trailers shown at the Tokyo Game Show, and is portrayed by Tomu Ranju in the musical.
Miles Edgeworth
Miles Edgeworth ( 御剣 怜侍 , Mitsurugi Reiji ? ) is Phoenix Wright's rival and long time friend. He is playable in Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations and is the main protagonist of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth . As a child, Edgeworth aspired to become a defense attorney, following in his father Gregory's footsteps. However, upon witnessing his father's death and watching in horror as the suspected murderer was let free, he gained a hatred for criminals and began studying to be a prosecutor, learning tactics from his mentor Manfred von Karma to always get a "guilty" verdict. This later earned him the name "demon prosecutor". Miles has not lost a case he was involved with until his first trial against Phoenix, after which he felt a need to defeat Phoenix. After Phoenix successfully defended Miles in a murder accusation from his former mentor, Miles recognized that prosecutors and defense attorneys need to be partners in discovering the truth. After disappearing for a long period of time on a journey of self-discovery, Miles returns to help Phoenix on some of his more difficult cases, including stepping in as the defense attorney when Phoenix was ill and bedridden. A running gag is that Edgeworth is usually unable to get his witnesses to state their names and occupations. Also, in both the manga and (to a lesser extent) the game, it's implied that he's a closet Steel Samurai fan. He also has a phobia of earthquakes and elevators, due to the incident in which his father was murdered. Edgeworth is voiced by Ace Attorney character designer Tatsurō Iwamoto in the video games and by Eiji Takemoto in Tokyo Game Show promotions for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations . On stage, he is portrayed by Hikaru Nanaho in the first musical and by Hiro Yūmi in the second musical.
Fey Family
The Fey ( 綾里 , Ayasato ? ) family is a known family of powerful spirit mediums that reside in Kurain Village. The Fey family is divided into two lines, the main line (consisting of Misty, Mia, and Maya) and the branch family (consisting of Morgan, Iris, Dahlia, and Pearl). The issues with this family and spirit "channeling" is at the center of many cases in the series.
Misty Fey
Misty Fey ( 綾里 舞子 , Ayasato Maiko ? ) is the mother of Mia and Maya, and was the former Master of Kurain Village. She was asked to assist in the DL-6 case, but the results of her actions proved to be untrue; as a result, she disappeared for several years, though remained aware of her daughters' lives. When she learned of Morgan Fey's plot to displace Maya from the Kurain Village Master through Godot, she came out of hiding, disguised as children's book author "Elise Deauxnim", and sacrificed herself to save Maya's life.
Mia Fey
Mia Fey ( 綾里 千尋 , Ayasato Chihiro ? ) is Misty's eldest daughter, opting to become a defense attorney after her mother disappeared as a result of the DL-6 case. She also became a lawyer because she didn't want to have competition with Maya over the Kurain Masters seat, as their mother had with their aunt Morgan. She started her work in Marvin Grossberg's law office, then moved to her own law firm. Shortly after bringing Phoenix on board, she was murdered by a blackmailer she was investigating who was also the person that leaked information about her mother's failed spirit channeling to the press. However, thanks to both Maya and Pearl's channeling abilities, she is able to reappear to Phoenix, helping him out as a mentor in the most difficult and desperate of times.
Maya Fey
Maya Fey ( 綾里 真宵 , Ayasato Mayoi ? ) is the younger daughter of Misty and a medium-in-training. She becomes the Master of the Kurain Village after Misty's death in the final case of Trials and Tribulations. After Mia was murdered, Maya stayed around to assist Phoenix in both investigations and the courtroom throughout the series. Over the first three games, she has developed a very close bond with Phoenix and mistaken by Pearl to be in a romantic relationship with him, although it is uncertain whether Maya is actually interested in Phoenix (Some evidence such as the Shelly de Killer card causes some confusion as to Maya's love interest). Maya is Phoenix's closest friend and it distresses him greatly when she is in trouble (a common occurrence). She is an eccentric, yet charming character and is often seen convincing Phoenix to follow her rather obscure and comical trains of thought. Maya has an insatiable appetite and has an affinity for cheeseburgers (in the Japanese version, ramen) and various snacks. She is also a huge fan of many tokusatsu shows, particularly the Steel Samurai, which she watches with an almost religious devotion. She always wears the same Kurain outfit which people are frequently commenting on.
Morgan Fey
Morgan Fey ( 綾里 キミ子 , Ayasato Kimiko ? ) , is Misty Fey's older sister, and the head of the Fey branch family. She has been married twice, having Dahlia and Iris from her first marriage and Pearl in her second. She is overly protective of Pearl and scheming to great lengths to try to depose the Fey main family line in order to instill Pearl as the Kurain Village Master. She once tried to frame Maya for a murder that she had helped with. It was only so Pearl could be Master of Kurain.
Pearl Fey
Pearl Fey ( 綾里 春美 , Ayasato Harumi ? ) is Morgan's youngest daughter. Though still young, her channeling ability is much stronger than her cousin Maya. She rarely leaves K
