Franziska Coming Around On Phoenix As She Grows Older And Finally Admits Her Harshness Was Never His

franziska coming around on phoenix as she grows older and finally admits her harshness was never his fault but instead her jealousy that he could stand next to edgeworth, who always felt so far out of her reach and would never return her love (not romantic just deep admiration and respect) the way he clearly did phoenix's

she finally "concedes defeat" and treats phoenix with kindness and without any expectation of reciprocation because doing so is the most pure act of love she can do for miles. and since she's finally accepted that love should be given without expecting anything in return, that it be unconditional, she is also finally able to open up to receive love in ways she never expected and realized she needed. 

phoenix, being who he is, forgives like everything is a fresh start, and his warmth completely knocks her off her feet and everything is suddenly clear to her. "ah. this is why he loves him. this is why i could never do what he did."

and suddenly, phoenix is her big brother. not little brother like miles but genuinely sincerely the figure in her life she should have had all along. her father had trauma bonded her to miles and she had no other guiding mentors, but now she has big brother phoenix.

miles has no idea when this happened. he doesn't understand at all how his little sister, who chided and harassed this man he loved, suddenly stopped looking down on him and began looking up to him. he's grateful, her approval of his partner means more than he'll ever be able to say, but he's lost. 

phoenix gets it. he does not tease her the way he does maya because he knows how prized and vulnerable and fragile and valuable the kindness of franziska von karma is, how it should be cherished as the priceless gemstone it is. 

they bicker. they have different tastes in music and art. they debate like two old men in the box seats of a theatre. but the barbs are a love language. the attacks lack their old spite and volatility. it is a choreographed dance rather than a spar. sometimes, people forget that miles was the one she had been raised with.

when phoenix and miles marry, franziska dances with each of them in lieu of the parent-child dance. she leads miles, but she lets phoenix lead her. 

he thanks her and promises he will take care of miles the way she had for so many years. she smiles and admits "i know."

Phoenix stands angrily, clenching his fist tightly. “Let me get this straight, EDGEWORTH.”
Phoenix juts his hip out and lists off instances while counting on his fingers. “After verbally degrading me for months, trying to get me and maya the death penalty, faking your own death to find your rich-ass self in europe,”
Phoenix gestures to himself with veins popping out. “you want ME. To apologize. For what I said to you while Maya was DYING.”
“BECAUSE I WAS ‘MEAN TO YOU’!?” Phoenix is red in the face screaming, hair on fire and veins are in his eyes. Edgeworth is blown back by the force of his yelling.
Edgeworth hugs a very burnt, crispy, and angry phoenix who has tears in his eyes. “Yes I. Could have went about things… Differently.”

Manfred Von Karma did not burn Phoenix's letters to Miles.

Like, I'm not even saying this to defend Manfred's character (though the fanbase does get a little crazy with what he actually did and didn't do) I'm saying this because that's not canon. I'm not sure it was even possible in canon.

Phoenix didn't write letters to Germany. He didn't know Miles was in Germany, let alone Von Karma's address. He didn't even know who Von Karma was until Edgeworth told him about Manfred in Turnabout Goodbyes.

In the game canon, Miles just stopped showing up to school one day. All Phoenix seemed to know was that he transferred schools suddenly. He didn't know why or where to. Remember, Phoenix didn't even hear about DL-6 until Turnabout Sisters when Maya mentioned her family's involvement.

Even in the anime canon (I haven't watched the anime in a while so I might be off about this) where Phoenix and Miles get a chance to properly say goodbye, Phoenix still doesn't have a direct means of contacting him. His best way of doing so was dedicating a song through the radio using Signal Samurai codenames and hoping Miles would hear it.

Phoenix mentions trying to contact him several times when explaining their relationship to Maya, but this was after finding out Miles was this "Demon Attorney". Miles would have to be at least 20 at this point in time, living back in California with at least a few trials under his belt. With how young he reached success, it's not impossible Miles was living on his own at the time. Even if he wasn't, I doubt Manfred was going through this grown adult's mail.

No, what the game seems to be implying is that Miles ignored Phoenix. (Maya even says, "I guess he didn't want to hear from his old friends.") And I don't think this was out of hatred or anything, I think Miles just wanted to forget his past entirely because even the good memories of his childhood would be bittersweet at best.

And to be honest that makes it even more tragic to me. Why do we need Manfred to intercept their connection when Miles' trauma and guilt complex is already doing that?

I like to think Miles knew Phoenix would be asking questions if he ever responded to those initial attempts at contact. Questions he of course doesn't want to answer because they'd at best open old wounds or at worst risk his childhood friend finding out he might have committed patricide.

I also like to think he knew Phoenix of all people would stubbornly try to find the answers Miles wouldn't willingly give because he literally mentions Phoenix always being "single minded in his work" and "always seeing things through to the end". If anyone was going to press and bring those uncomfortable and painful memories out in the open for the sake of "helping him", it would be Phoenix Wright.

Why do we need Manfred to take away all that complexity and tragedy? That is such a waste!

April May: a fan backstory.

Ah yes. This is my attempt to make an one-off character who showed up once in the entire series and never appeared again an actually likeable character. And yes, I know there are one-off characters who are actually likeable, but its cause they at least have a personality.

April May doesn't. She's just horny bait. And despite the fact that I hate pink, her design is pretty okay. So I decided to make her at least a bit more likeable by giving her a minimally decent backstory.

So let's start with the fact that she's pretty young, like, college age. I feel like she'd be interested in fashion and modeling. And to help her pay the college rent, she sent out numerous job applications. She has quite a few talents, namely her singing and sewing, but her most notorious trait is her charisma. I don't think she is that flirty by nature, it's probably just a persona she created so she could lure men into doing whatever she wanted, but honestly, I don't think she created that persona purely because she wanted to. Prior to her job at Bluecorp, I think she was mostly herself, with some flirty comments here and there but not in abundance. She was pretty kind and chill. There was no pressure into being a flirty character at all times.

And then she was called to a job interview, and accepted as a secretary at Bluecorp. She was tricked into thinking it was a "detective agency of sorts", and during her first days, her job was pretty normal. But then, the company's true colors started revealing to her. Until one day, where she was personally called to the CEO's office, and could finally meet her boss in person.

He answered all of her questions with that bright smile and loud voice of his, which we're all familiar with, and he explained that Bluecorp was, in fact, a blackmail company. She attempted to fire herself, but now that she knew the truth, there was no way back. They already knew everything about her, and if she attempted to reveal everything to the police, all of her personal information would be leaked. She had no choice but to stay, forever a subordinate to Redd White.

He knew that her physical appearance could deceive many people into trusting their company, so he forced her to create a persona, the flirty and charming persona we all know. From there, she was never able to be herself anymore. They absued of her beauty and natural charisma to lure more victims into their company, and she couldn't do anything about it but oblige.

When the Mia Fey case happened, she felt bad for the murder of an innocent woman and having to accuse her younger sister of a crime she didn't commit, but worse of all, the was being obligated to commit a crime herself. We all know what happened there. When Phoenix exposed her crime of wiretapping, she exploded, and got super mad at him, to the point of refusing to tell him anything even in prison.

But to be honest... I don't necessarily think she was just mad at him. She was also... scared. Scared for both Phoenix of herself. Scared of her boss, who she now knee was capable of even murder. Even if she was already in prison, she was scared of what could happen to her. She was scared for Phoenix and what could happen to him, because her boss wasn't really just any opponent. And when she saw him in the detention center that night, she couldn't say she was surprised. She knew that would happen.

What she didn't expect to happen was for him to not only defend himself, but also finally expose her boss' true self. For him and that woman to expose every single one of his crimes. Redd White was finally taken down. And even though she was in prison, she finally felt free. She could be herself again, she no longer hated Phoenix, as he was the one resposible for making White finally confess. Now, I don't think she would have a very long sentence for perjury and wiretapping, so in probably less than 10 years she would finally be released from jail.

And speaking of that, since Redd White was much more dangerous and his crime list was enormous, he was sent to a different penitentiary, one with much higher security, so she wouldn't have to deal with him during her time in jail.

I assume by the time of Spirit of in 2028, she would have been released already. I think she would either have a modeling agency or would work in a fancy clothes shop, following her previous dreams of studying fashion and/or being a model.

+ BONUS: Relationship with Mimi Miney

Personally one of my favorite F/F Ace Attorney couples. They have so much in common. They both had shitty bosses, they both attempted to frame Maya Fey (lol), and headcanon wise, they both had a tragic past and regretted their actions. And recently, I saw an official artwork of April as a nurse (and incredibly enough, it wasn't even all that sexualized, she looked like a normal nurse) and as we all know, Mimi is a former nurse. Even though Mimi's crimes were much more severe and their relationship is doomed to fail, they can at least give it a try. After all, most of my OTPs are doomed couples anyways :')

And they make the lesbian flag together.

“kids spend too much time on their devices” well what else are they supposed to do? there’s no corner shops with pinball machines in them on every corner anymore. there’s no malls or stores in small towns for teens to hang out in without being suspected of shoplifting or kicked out for loitering. sidewalks are too broken for them to ride their bikes and there’s no bike lane in the street to make it safe for them. i just don’t understand where they expect these kids to go when they keep taking places away from them. and yes having no safe public places for them is what leads a lot of teens into addiction if they end up at a place where people aren’t truly looking out for them.
