Entrant's Name: Lilly Andrews
Entrants Website (if applicable): N/A
Character's Name: Astraea Innocent
Age: 23
Occupation: Defence Attorney
Brief Physical Description: She has ginger-reddish hair, most of it gathered in a ponytail that hangs over her right shoulder, held together by a silver hairband. She has pale skin, and dark brown eyes. She wears a pale turquoise jacket with a purple tie and maroon trousers. She wears a bracelet with pale blue beads and a yellow star on her left wrist. She is about 5'8.
Brief Personality Description: Friendly enough most of the time, but she is very protective of her friends and clients, and fiercely defends them in court. She always fights for the truth, and strongly detests forged evidence and corrupt attorneys. She can be a bit grumpy before court begins, as she is a rookie attorney still and gets stressed. She tends to trust her instincts about people.
Connection to canon characters: She is one of Phoenix Wright's best friends. They met at college and have remained friends ever since. She is often exasperated by him and his habit of winning trials by the skin of his teeth, but is often in the stands supporting him (when she isn't on her own cases). She also ends up becoming friends with Miles Edgeworth.
Brief Background: Astraea always wanted to help people, and during her teens decided to do a law course at college and become a defence attorney. She moved to LA and went on a law course at Ivy University. This is where she met Phoenix Wright. They became fast friends, and he made her the bracelet she still wears even now. Their relationship became strained when he started dating Dahlia, as Astraea sensed something was off about her - instincts which were proven right in the end. Nonetheless, she stood by him as he stood trial for murder, and he was very apologetic about not believing her. A few years later, she graduated. She has only taken on a few cases so far, and is still a rookie.
Era: Original Trilogy
Other notes: Whenever she's stressed, she automatically holds on to the friendship bracelet. When's she's embrassed or angry, she goes bright red and covers her face with her hands. Shouts "Aha!" when she spots a contradiction in testimonies whilst interviewing witnesses at crime scenes, as she can tell which statement is an outright lie. She usually then persuades the person to tell the truth (normally by threatening them with perjury or obstruction of justice).
