Character Name: Maya Fey Canon: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Trilogy) Character Blurb: In a game about lawyers I hyperfixated on the ghost story where the girl sidekick just has the bitchiest cult family you can imagine. Though she was once a ghost channeler I am now subjecting her to my Tastes and Whims. Despite having an absolutely shitty upbringing and having plenty of reasons to be resentful of Everything Ever, Maya instead aggressively looks on the bright side and devotes herself to everyone else's dreams and wellbeing. There are no therapists in ace attorney. anyway
Code Name: fuck i have no idea. nova vessel or some shit. nova nerdass. not that one Domain: Spirit??? we're going with spirit Combat Type: support probably. i sound so confident don't I
Awakening: I am not picky except that it would be Thematically Good if Maya was maybe late to the party and/or awoke trying to help someone else out. Present Life: This is the one I have the most ideas for thanks to harry and lex's enabling. Maya's family is technically running a funerary service for the underprivileged and those inclined toward looser interpretations of the law, if you know what you're looking for. On the front, though, it's a 'rival' for Verdigris house in the Pleasure district. It's not... actually a rival, and it's really more of a front, but Maya's shitty aunt sure thinks they have to compete. Anyway Maya's mom fucked off for some reason leaving her in the care of aforementioned shitty aunt who would really rather her own daughter be the defacto leader the Kurain household once she comes of age, and Maya's just so rude as to get in the way. Shame. Deemed unfit to even bother to train to entertain guests (though she's certainly a quick enough learner on her own) Maya's job has usually been cleaning up. Cleaning up after guests. Cleaning up after funerary preparations. She didn't get to do much school herself, but now she's pretty devoted to walking her baby cousin to school every day— her baby cousin being a good friend of Jamil Viper's sister, of course. They all know each other through the most wonderful method of bonding of them all: being born into a family that does crime. Maya's real passion in life, though, is fandom. Her devotion to the Best Show in the world, The Steel Samurai. She wants him. She wants to be him. He is a robotic samurai. She is a very short squishy girl. Regardless, she knows all the Steel Samurai's best moves. Past Life: This one I have fewer ideas about but I definitely want to lean into themes of Maya being a vessel in canon and not really having a lot of autonomy, of being powerless in certain situations while also feeling like her abilities are not her own to take pride in. Someone who was, as she is Now, always throwing themselves into things whole heartedly for the sake of others to the point of forgetting to address their own desires and needs.
In-Game Plans: My plans are incredibly flexible she mostly is just Friends with people. Got a lot of what Has Happened Already sorted out but less clear on the Later. Pre-Established CR Hooks: Maya was probably kept isolated and away from school growing up by Morgan, and the same with her Big Sister who may or may not be around. As a result her friends are probably few and far between, stolen through various opportunistic moments such as Family Meetings, sneak-outs with big sis or baby cousin to City Events, or.....
Online Steel Samurai Fanclub Members. The girl's got a phone and she knows how to navigate the forums. Her friends online are just as real as in real life!
Oh, also, once you're close to her? She wants to be YOUR big sister. Is she younger than you? Doesn't matter. Big sister. Had different intentions in mind? Too bad. Ignoring it. Big sister. Don't actually like her that much at all?
Big.
Sister.
Desired CR/Hooks: Truly I have no preference. The reality is that everything with maya is interesting and funny. She's so very kindhearted and really does want to big sister at everyone, but she's an insatiable trickster as well. She thinks she needs to manipulate people in order for them to even so much as give her attention, let alone help her in situations she might need it. She doesn't always know when a joke is too much. She acts like a social butterfly and she's great at reading the room, but she's actually inexperienced in social situations. Most things she knows about the world and relationships are from watching either her loveless, outsider-distrusting family or from TV shows.
She can also be very quiet and reserved with outsiders she hasn't met, especially since so far in this au she hasn't met Phoenix to really bring her out of her shell. Outside of having some childhood acquaintances, she might not consider everyone safe to share information with, even if she's very polite. I'd love to have some situations where people might not immediately recognize that she lives her whole life idolizing shounen content because she's busy not being sure if talking to this person will get her in trouble back at home.
That said obviously she's a great friend to have too! And hopefully one day will be a helpful support as well. She's dearly devoted and tends to fall into the role of sidekick for others. It'd be cool if maybe she was allowed to be little a bit mad about her situation for once instead of being limited by canon to never be upset about her situation and always self abandon. achievable through the power of friendship maybe?
