A BRAND SPANKING NEW EPISODE OF ACE ATTORNEY IS OUT NOW!!!
Did some practice with some of my favorite Ace Attorney Sprites!
PHOENIX IS READY!!!
…and Maya too, I guess.
[Spoilers for Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice]
I love Apollo and Trucy's dynamic in the game. In my AU, they work together in Apollo's agency. Trucy helps her brother during his investigations. Nonetheless, as Gramarye, Trucy and Apollo perform in cabarets as magicians. They're famous, perhaps more so than for their detective's work.
They were brought up together by their mother, Thalassa Gramarye. The three of them were living happily, until their mother mysteriously disappeared. They were adopted by a kind man named Phoenix Wright. Apollo kept his father's name (Justice) while Trucy took Phoenix's surname. They grew up surrounded by investigations and mysterious cases. Apollo never accepted that his mother disappeared and decided to become a private detective to investigate on his mother's disappearance. All they have left from Thalassa, are her two bracelets, one for each of them. They soon discover that the bracelets have peculiar powers.
They have a cat named Francis. Francis loves to take part into the investigations and is a very talented magician assistant. [Francis is an orignal character created by me]

In this AU, Trucy Wright and Apollo Justice are aware they are [Spoiler!! if you haven't finished Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice] sister and brother. When Phoenix and Apollo met during an investigation, Nick discovered Apollo was his daughter's half brother and decided to tell both of them.

Different outfits for Trucy Wright. In this AU, Trucy was still adopted by Phoenix when her father was accused of murder. She grew up with her new father but kept that love for magic which she inherited from her father and her mother's family. Although, Trucy still participated in magic shows, she is also an assistant. She helps Apollo Justice in his private detective office.
Trucy is quite close to Klavier - the two are good friends and enjoy each other company. They love making fun of Apollo and often go out together to drink a cup of tea. During their "tea parties", Klavier and Trucy often gossip about Apollo or elaborate different plans to make Apollo going on a date with Klavier. Basically, the two of them are besties!
I love drawing stickers! I hope one day I'll be able to print them :) I've redrawn Phoenix's sprites from the game. My favorite is definitely the one where Phoenix has Godot's cup of coffee on his head!
I think I'll do the other one too! I'd like to do Maya and Apollo. I'll do the prosecutors later :)
P.S. If you want me to translate what Phoenix is saying, don't hesitate to ask me in the comment section! I'll be happy to answer you <3
Phoenix: "Mia... What should I do?"
Vérité is Trucy's name in the French version of the game. I love the father-daughter relationship these two have in the game. It shows a different aspect of Phoenix and he becomes a father figure for almost all the other protagonists (Apollo, Athena, etc.)
I also think that in difficult moments, Phoenix still calls Mia's name for help. We can imagine this scene is taking place during the "seven years". It's up to you to imagine whatever scenario you prefer :)
I've redrawn Phoenix's office:
Maya: "I'll always be there by your side, Nick!"
I love their friendship! Maya is such a cool character. She is funny and optimistic and it's a real contrast with Phoenix apparent stoicism. Also, I love the fact that Mia is watching over both of them from Heaven. It's so poetic.
You can either imagine this scene is taking place during [spoiler for Justice for All] Farewell, My Turnabout, when de Killer kidnaps Maya, or during [spoiler for] Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, when Maya is supposedly dead.
Nick can appear sometimes cold but he really cares for the people he loves whether it's Maya, his daughter Trucy (Vérité for the Frenchies) or his other friends.
One thing I can say is that if you haven't played Ace Attorney yet, go play them! Those are one of the best games I've ever played. The stories are mysterious and most of them are amusing. The characters are well portrayed and the plots are intriguing.
That's all for me! I hope I gave you the want to play those amazing games :)
Ace Attorney brainrot, aka me right now
