Trucy's Memory on Phoenix's Cases:
Between being Phoenix being disbarred and the start of Apollo Justice, Trucy didn't learn much about Phoenix's cases while he was still a lawyer. It was just too hard for Phoenix to think back on "the good old days," and Trucy was tactful enough not to ask. However, through his friends she did learn bits and pieces of old trials, but she doesn't have any sort of detailed knowledge on any particular case--the most she'll remember is "and that's the time Uncle Larry almost got convicted of murder" or "...and then Wright proceeded to cross-examine a parrot".


Relationships
- Miles Edgeworth - To say Edgeworth wasn’t pleased to learn about his childhood friend’s disbarment was an understatement: Edgeworth stormed into the newly formed Wright Talent Agency a few weeks after the incident and argued with Phoenix (well it was a one-sided argument, anyway) over how stupid a mistake he made. He would have yelled some more if Trucy hadn’t come out and stunned him into silence (and a near heart attack) by showing him Mr. Hat. Over time the two reconciled (well Edgeworth accepted it, more or less). Edgeworth has since become Chief Prosecutor and spends most of his free time lecturing in law schools, though he stops by whenever he has free time (which lately has been rare), and aided Phoenix with his little project of creating the Jurist system. He’s personally groomed Kay Faraday as his successor. Wears glasses now and has slightly longer hair.
- Larry Butz – Phoenix couldn’t get rid of Larry if he tried, unfortunately. Upon Phoenix's disbarment, he frequently stopped by to try to make Phoenix feel better before getting distracted by yet another girlfriend. Larry continued to make occasional appearances at the Wright Talent Agency after whatever girlfriend of the week he was with dumped him. One time Larry managed to find himself in a spot of trouble yet again, and Phoenix had to refer him to Kristoph to get out of it. Trucy rather likes Larry and the amusing stories of woe he tells every time he shows him. Hasn’t seen him in about a year.


- Maya Fey - She used to come down often to hang out with Phoenix enough to frequent Eldoon’s Noodles when Guy’s father was still running the stand, so Trucy got to know her pretty well. However, within the last three years or so she hasn’t been able to come down from Kurain Village as she’s been busy with being Master of Kurain. (Miss Cleo of the Ace Attorney world)

- Kay/Maya/Ema – Yatagarasu?

Personality; Whenever you come across Trucy, 99% of the time she will be smiling. That’s because she tends to look on the bright side of everything, from abandonment to murder. Some might say that she looks on the bright side a little too much; that she’s ditzy or naïve. However, there’s more to her than meets the eye. She was born with the power of perception, and can easily tell when people are lying to her. She also comes from a family of performers, and as a result is very driven and focused when she needs to be. From years of living with Phoenix she’s developed this sort of con man personality, saying one thing but meaning another for effect. But there’s no deep reasoning for why she acts the way she does--she simply sees no point in being serious all the time and enjoys having fun in life.

The more you look at Trucy, the more you see how large her heart is. When her father abandoned her when she was 8, rather than allow herself to wallow in self-pity, she chose to instead help Phoenix come to terms with his disbarment and fall from grace. She kept him sane throughout the next 7 years, and looked after him in many aspects the way a parent would a child. Despite their partially reversed roles she never stopped being a child. She never lost her youthful outlook on life, despite how easy it could have been to do so. When Apollo entered her life, Trucy quickly latched onto him, providing him the support and guidance he needed. And just like Phoenix, she kept him sane whenever he felt like he was slipping or losing his confidence. She always knew what to say to keep him going and help him find the truth.

But deep beneath that happy exterior, there’s a damaged little girl. A lot of bad things have happened to her in her short life, things that carry heavy emotional baggage. Trucy essentially aided her father in abandoning her, and both her mother and grandfather, to her knowledge, were murdered. None of this is stuff one can just brush off, and she isn’t any different. However, she refuses to allow it to define who she is, and through the years has come to terms with a lot of it (or rather has tried to).

As a side effect of her unique upbringing, she has a somewhat skewed moral compass. She sees no problems in being friends with mobsters, aid her father in essentially cheating at poker, staging a self-kidnapping in a court of law to stall for time, or flat out stealing things from a crime scene. That isn't to say she’s a bad person—-she just generally wants to do the right thing, but for her, the way to go about doing the right thing never seems to be anyone else’s way of doing the right thing.

Network Sample; Hi! I was just wondering if anyone has seen my panties. They're my absolute favorite and I can't seem to find them anwyehere. I really don't know what I'm going to do without them. I mean, I left them out on the balcony to dry and--

[There's a small pause as Trucy takes in her surroundings.] Wait a minute... This isn't my house. Oh well! One place is as good as another, right?

Anyway! If anyone sees my panties can they give them back? They're really important to me. Thanks!

Log Sample; Attendance at her show had been steadily growing since her court debut, when her magic panties made headlines. At the rate they were going they would soon have to cap attendance at the door in a few more performances. Trucy should have been excited about that, after all, she was getting the recognition that she had studied so hard for. She was an heir of Troupe Gramarye, the greatest magician troupe of all time; she lived for the stage. So just why was her heart seemingly jumping out of her chest?

She ran her thumb ran across her diamond-shaped brooch as she tried to force herself to calm down. Why tonight, of all nights, did she decide to get nervous? She’d been performing there for 7 years now, first on a weekly basis when the owner humored her and her dream, moving it up to nightly as she got older and proved her talent. She knew her act inside and out; there was nothing different about tonight from any other night.

Perhaps it had something to do with Apollo. Since he’d entered the Wright Talent Agency, she’d moved farther away from her true calling of magic and moved into the realm of defending. The two should have been two completely different occupations, but the way Apollo worked was another form of magic.

She glanced at the clock. One minute until show time. No time to dwell on why she felt the way she did, but more than enough time to shake it. She was a performer, whether it was on stage or in the courtroom, and she couldn't let her audience down. All those people out there, the ones she suddenly seemed nervous over, were there to see her show, and she couldn't afford to let a little stage fright slow her down. She pushed the butterflies back down into her stomach and pushed aside the curtain.

Character Info
Character Name: Trucy (Enigmar) Wright
Character’s Age: 16
Fandom: Phoenix Wright/Gyakuten Saiban
Timeline: After Apollo Justice
Appearance: Daddy’s sugar daddy

Trucy is your average-looking sixteen year old girl… if average sixteen year old girls were magicians. Her flashy blue magician’s costume, which resembles the stage costumes of her birth parents, definitely sticks out in the crowd. She may be convinced to wear something else… but it would take a strong argument. Trucy takes great pride in her profession and her outfit is an extension of it. She has a very youthful face and is rarely seen without a smile, and her hair is always carefully framed to accommodate her large top hat.

History: The complicated life of one Trucy Enigmar Wright

Personality:
Whenever you come across Trucy, 99% of the time she will be smiling.  That’s because she tends to look on the bright side of everything, from abandonment to murder.  Some might say that she looks on the bright side a little too much; that she’s ditzy or naïve.  However, there’s more to her than meets the eye.  She was born with the power of perception, and can easily tell when people are lying to her.  She also comes from a family of performers, and as a result is very driven and focused when she needs to be.  From years of living with Phoenix she’s developed this sort of con man personality, saying one thing but meaning another for effect.  But there’s no deep reasoning for why she acts the way she does--she simply sees no point in being serious all the time and enjoys having fun in life.

The more you look at Trucy, the more you see how large her heart is.  When her father abandoned her when she was 8, rather than allow herself to wally in self-pity, she chose to instead help Phoenix come to terms with his disbarment and fall from grace.  She kept him sane throughout the next 7 years, and looked after him in many aspects the way a parent would a child.  Despite their partially reversed roles she never stopped being a child.  She never lost her youthful outlook on life, despite how easy it could have been to do so.  When Apollo entered her life, Trucy quickly latched onto him, providing him the support and guidance he needed.  And just like Phoenix, she kept him sane whenever he felt like he was slipping or losing his confidence.  She always knew what to say to keep him going and help him find the truth. 

But deep beneath that happy exterior, there’s a damaged little girl.  A lot of bad things have happened to her in her short life, things that carry heavy emotional baggage.  Trucy essentially aided her father in abandoning her, and both her mother and grandfather, to her knowledge, were murdered.  None of this is stuff one can just brush off, and she isn’t any different.  However, she refuses to allow her to define who she is, and through the years has come to terms with a lot of it (or rather has tried to).

As a side effect of her unique upbringing, she has a somewhat skewed moral compass.  She sees no problems in being friends with mobsters, aid her father in essentially cheating at poker, staging a self-kidnapping in a court of law to stall for time, or flat out stealing things from a crime scene.  That isn’t to say she’s a bad person—she generally wants to do the right thing, but for her, the way to go about doing the right thing never seems to be anyone else’s way of doing the right thing.

Powers/Abilities: Trucy was born with the power of perception, or to be able to see what another person is feeling. She’s able to closely observe another person with almost superhuman sight and as such is able to pick up habits that others develop to be able to read them more closely than the average person. It’s an ability that’s been passed through the Gramarye family for generations, and she uses it primarily to help her father, Phoenix, cheat at poker.

She’s also a stage magician, and so she’s capable of a wide variety of magic tricks, relying on sleight of hand, flashes of light, and various other stage tricks to wow others. She’ll have also have on her:

- Mr. Hat -  Mr. Hat is a large wooden puppet that Trucy has somehow jerryrigged to hide beneath her cape and pop out at the press of a button.  There's a switch or lever, also hidden behind her cape, that she moves or pushes to allow the puppet's giant mouth to move up and down.  She uses ventriloquism to give the puppet speech.
- Magic panties - If you ask her, she'll say that her panties are "an extra-dimensional space" and that "anything can fit in there," but in actuality it's just an average pair of light blue bloomers with hearts on them.  It's simply one of her props from her magic show--one of her most famous and popular ones.  Much like a magician will pull things from a top hat, Trucy uses sleight of hand and her "magic panties" to pull things seemingly from nowhere.
- A completely normal, standard deck of playing cards

Limitations: She will sadly have lost her super-perception abilities, but it will not put a damper in her cheerful demeanor. Trucy will still be relying on her average senses to be perceptive, especially because she knows what to look for.

You cannot take her panties or Mr. Hat from her; she won’t let you.  It's not like they give her any sort of advantage, anyway.

Suitability: Although Trucy isn’t like the other members of Bell Pointe, she still can hold her own when push comes to shove. She’s no stranger to murder or violence: at a young age she lost her mother to a violent accident, then (slightly older but still young) she lost her grandfather when he was shot in the head.  When he father was accused of murdering her grandfather, he flat out abandoned her to avoid the conviction, using her to escape.  As Apollo’s assistant she’s a frequent witness grizzly crime scenes, and maintains her composure throughout. Although she may act naïve and happy-go-luck, she’s actually fairly down to earth because she was forced to grow up a bit when she was orphaned at age 7 and she knows more than she lets on that she does. She’s been around the block and although she didn’t come back unscathed, she’s a survivor and was able to stay strong. Finally, from being on the stage she’ll have learned to deal accordingly with rowdy and/or touchy fans.

When the time comes and she needs to protect herself, she’ll be primarily defensive in nature and use the tricks she’s learned as a magician (sleight of hand and the like) to distract the danger away from her and escape. If she’s forced to take a more offensive stance for survival, she’s not above picking up a gun, although she would rather not. Her parents’ big trick (the one that supposedly killed her mother), involved guns, and she’s stated several times throughout the game that she knows how to handle them. Also, through her training as a magician, she should be familiar with how several other weapons, such as swords, work (albeit the trick versions of them) and could potentially pick one up to use in a pinch, though she would hardly be proficient with it.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER

GENERAL

[Name:] Trucy Enigmar (soon to be Wright)

[Age:] 8

[Gender:] Female

[Marital Status:] Single

[Sexuality:] Straight (boys are kind of icky)

[Occupation:] Magician in training! Oh... and student.

[Ladder Preference:] Stepladders are the best things EVER!

CONNECTIONS
[Family:] Zak Gramarye/Engimar Her father. Zak is a father in name only. Although he does genuinely love Trucy, he doesn’t know how to properly care for her, and frankly he sees her as occasionally getting in the way of furthering his career. Ostensibly he tries to be the caring, doting father, but Trucy sees through his act pretty easily. Because of this, Trucy does everything she can to get his real attention. For example, although genuinely a fan of magic, she practices extra hard in hopes of getting praised. Whenever her dad plays poker, she tries to help with her unusual ability, although usually he only winds up getting annoyed with her for “getting in the way.”

Thalassa Gramarye Her mother. Most of what she remembers about Thalassa is what she sees in tapes of Troupe Gramarye performances and what other people tell her about her, which is surprisingly little, as talking about Thalassa is to remember the terrible accident that took her from them. She does, however, vaguely remember the incident in which her mother disappeared; she was inconsolable for nearly a week. In fact, the only reason she stopped was because she wanted to make her dad and grandfather. Her picture is situated in the family room, and sometimes she’ll talk to the picture if her father’s away and pretend she’s still around. And sometimes, as she falls asleep at night, she can hear a soft, soothing voice talking to her and cradling her...a subconscious memory of her mother that still lingers.

Magnifi Gramarye Her grandfather. Ever since her mother’s disappearance/apparent death, he’s been distant with Trucy. When Thalassa was around, he was always the doting grandfather, but seeing Trucy after the accident only reminded Magnifi of what he lost, and tried to avoid her as much as possible. Currently, Trucy no longer remembers the doting grandfather, and really only knows Magnifi as her father’s mentor and teacher. She knows that they’re related, but to her it doesn’t feel that way. It doesn’t bother her, however, because this is what she’s grown up knowing, and to her this is normal.

Phoenix Wright Her soon-to-be father. Although she doesn’t know him yet, she’ll soon be relying on him for almost everything. She realizes that by saving her real father she’s hurt him, and secretly harbors a bit of guilt that “because of her” he got disbarred. However, she also sees in him the father she’s never had, everything that Zak wasn’t Phoenix tries to be. She’s not sure exactly why he’s so nice to her, considering everything she’s done to him, but because he knows how to make her happy she decides that she’s going to do everything she can to make him happy too.

[Friends:]
Valant Gramarye Valant is Zak’s partner in Troupe Gramarye, and Trucy affectionately calls him “Uncle Valant.” Trucy genuinely likes Valant, especially because out of everyone in her life as of now, he’s the one who outwardly treats her the kindest. He’s often the one to convince Zak to take Trucy along with them to practices and performances, and occasionally gives up some of his time to teach her the basics and improve upon the skills she’s already learned. He’s even given her a fair share of books and magazines on magic to help her hone her skills. At the same time, she’s a little weary of him; because of her gift she’s aware that his kindness isn’t entirely genuine. But to Trucy, kindness is kindness, and she’ll take any sort of kindness she can get, fake or not.

Mr. Hat Her favorite magic trick. Although technically an inanimate object, Trucy has the same love for Mr. Hat like she does any other flesh-and-blood friend. To her, Mr. Hat is her one, true confidant and companion. She loves him because she can just be herself and he won’t judge her, or can rant about her day and know she’ll have someone who can listen. She also has an automatic audience whenever she wishes to practice any of her other tricks. Sometimes she affectionately yells at him for stealing her hat.

[Enemies:]
Max Gallactica After narrowly beating Troupe Gramarye in a magic competition a few days ago, Max Gallactica has become Trucy’s public enemy number one. Any time she sees him on TV or in one of the family’s magic magazines she gets angry, often yelling things like “he’s a cheater” and “no one can beat Troupe Gramarye!” She’s even sent him a few nasty fan letters, telling him that he’s a “meanie” for besting “only the best magic troupe ever” in a competition. Her “hatred” of him, however, will cool significantly as time passes and it will only be a matter of time before she completely and utterly forgets his existence.

[Other:]
Regina Berry Trucy met Regina during the magic competition between Troupe Gramarye and Max Gallactica. Although she never approached her, Trucy admired Regina from afar. She thought that the Regina, like everyone else in the competition, was a magician, and that she had one of the prettiest outfits she had ever seen. She was severely disappointed when Regina didn’t do any tricks like Max, her father, or Valant.

CHARACTER
[General personality:]Trucy, above all else, wants to make the people important to her in her life happy. She thinks it’s her job to do or be whatever that person needs in order to lift their spirits, using her powers of perception to do so. Even at the expense of losing her sense of self she’ll do it, because the people she loves are that important to her that she can’t bear to see them sad.

Outwardly, Trucy gives off the appearance of a happy-go-lucky kid. And for the most part, that’s what she is. She tries to find happiness wherever she can take it, and is almost incapable of recognizing sadness or disappointment within her own life, although she can certainly recognize it. And for the most part she’s a typical kid, albeit a kid way more perceptive than the average adult.

Her biggest fault is that although she is mature for her age, she’s still a kid, and thus, a bit naïve. She’s even a little bit more naïve than the average kid due to her unusual upbringing. Once you win over Trucy’s confidence, it can be a simple task to trick her—so long as your body language doesn’t give it away.

She also wants nothing more than to become a famous magician like Troupe Gramarye. This is one of the few goals in life that she has that she has, although it’s in part to make her father (and mother) proud, that she does primarily for herself. She’s been fond of magic since she was a baby and will do whatever it takes to be the next Zak and Valant Gramarye. She’s often practicing magic in private, watching tapes of famous magicians performing (especially Troupe Gramarye), and reading magic books.

Her secret hobby, other than magic, is a love of stuffed animals and other plush-related items. However, she’s really mentioned it because she doesn’t want to be a burden on her father more than she already is.

[Appearance:] Trucy has her brand new magician’s outfit and is ready to show it off to the world! Of course, she wears the locket given to her by her father of her mother to remember her around her neck at all times. Ever since, that’s all she’s worn, even to school (much to the chagrin of her teachers).

[Background:] When Trucy was born, both Zak and Thalassa spoiled their little girl rotten. Thalassa noticed early on that, like her and her father before her, Trucy was developing the family talent of precisely reading someone’s body language. Both parents noticed that Trucy loved magic, and would often put on little shows for their little girl, as well as bring her along to their practices and performances.

Trucy was there the night that the Zak & Valant’s Quick-Draw Shoot’em went wrong. Although she doesn’t specifically remember the event, she remembers the chaos that ensues and that something terrible had happened to her mother. After the event she was inconsolable, only pretending to be okay to be strong for her father.

After her mother’s death, her father changed, losing some of the confidence he had in raising a child before he once had, and Trucy tried to be strong for the both of them. Although she was still allowed to learn about magic, it became harder and harder for her to tag along with him to performances, often having to get Valant to help her get her way.

In the present, Trucy sort of wishes for the happy life she sort-of remembers before her mom died. She’s too practical to rely on wishing—she knows it can’t, and so she’s trying to find happiness within what she has, and isn’t doing too bad of a job with it.
