Defense Attorney
Phoenix Wright A defense attorney. Phoenix has just watched the circus only to learn that one of its members has been arrested. Can he defend a performer that all the other performers dislike, handle the annoying members of the circus, and clean his office in time for the New Year?

Defendant
Billy Bob Johns (aka Maximillion Galactica) One of the world's most favorite magicians. He works for the Berry Big Circus. The other members of the circus see him as a jerk, but deep down, he is actually quite an emotional person.

Victim
Russell Berry (aka The Ringmaster) Russell Berry was the ringmaster of the circus. He loves his members like they are his family, and they in turn love him back. He came up with new ideas for almost every tour, and his ideas almost always worked.

Prosecution Lawyer
Franziska von Karma Franziska is the daughter of the feared Manfred von Karma. Like her father, she aims for only one thing throughout her life: perfection. Von Karma had a perfect winning record - until you came along, that is. Can you defeat her again?

Witness
Lawrence Curls (aka Moe the Clown) Moe the Clown is, well, a clown. He is one of the oldest members of the circus, and his increasingly lame jokes show.

Benjamin Woodman (aka Ben) & Trilo Quist Ben is a very quiet and shy ventriloquist. He seems hopeless without his puppet Trilo. Trilo is a loud and rude puppet, and a tenor. He seems to "control" everything that Ben does. He is in love with Regina Berry, and plans to marry her somehow.

Other Characters
Maya Fey A young spirit medium in training, and your assistant. She is a big fan of Max, and as soon as she hears of Max's arrest, she calls you to meet her at the detention center (against your will, of course).

Dick Gumshoe A homicide detective with the local police. He is a somewhat absent-minded detective and can be short tempered at times, but he is generally a friendly and helpful character. He is afraid of Von Karma, who has seemingly planted a tracking device on him.

Regina Berry An extremely cute "princess", the daughter of Russell Berry. She has lived her entire life in the Berry Big Circus as a wild animal tamer. She has won the hearts of many members of the circus, but has lived a sheltered life, not even fully comprehending the reality of her father's death.

Ken Dingling (aka Acro) Acro is a trapeze artist. His legs are broken, leaving him wheelchair-bound.

Sean Dingling (aka Bat) Acro's brother and partner, who is currently hospitalized.
