Characters
Defense Attorneys
Miles Edgeworth One of Phoenix's earlier rivals and childhood friends. He is a "genius" prosecutor in the past. His role in the past also plays an important part in this case.
Phoenix Wright The reason Phoenix took this case is to chase something from his past. What will this case lead him?
Defendant
Sister Iris One of the nuns at the Hazakura Temple. She also seems to be familiar with Phoenix, but why?
Victim
Elise Deauxnim A famous illustrated children's book author. Pearl is a big fan of her works. She is a very mysterious woman, but why did she come to the temple anyways?
Prosecution Lawyers
Franziska von Karma A child prodigy as a prosecutor, and also Phoenix's rival, albeit more sadistic. She seems a bit softer than the previous game, but she is just as pride driven and whip-happy as last year.
Godot A mysterious and blind prosecutor. He really loves coffee and almost drinks it constantly. He seems to know Phoenix and holds a grudge against him, but why? The mysteries surrounding Godot will be revealed in this episode.
Witness
Sister Bikini Another nun at Hazakura Temple. Her jokes are as cold as the training rooms. She looks after Iris as a child.
