Three menacing men and two… mildly inconvenienced women.
Practicing blocking out colors with a chunky brush, and also drawing more random characters I draw rarely/have never drawn.
Do note that yes, Dee’s earring and clasp thing are on the wrong side… because the art I was using for reference is flipped for some reason. Don’t get mad at me, get mad at the official artbook I’m referencing!

“Is mashing 5 Fey women into
one blog a good idea?”
“Probably not. But the mod’s doing it anyway. Oh well. You know how this goes: ask what you desire, get us lost in crazy schemes, narc on Phoenix. Only thing different this time is you have to make sure the mod knows who you’re addressing. Have fun, Mia out.”

The flower that represents Ryuichi Naruhodo (Phoenix Wright)
Hello
I came to you with a tiny post
(I'm not lost and I'm not going anywhere.)
Because we missed an important detail again!
My favorite case is 3-1. In which there is just a huge pile of information.
When Chihiro interrogates a witness about the reason for her interest in Naruhodo, she gives an answer in the form of a haiku (although it is difficult to assess its correctness).
・・・・はかなげな、日かげに咲いた タンポポのような、たたずまい・・・・
hakana ge-na, bikageni saita tanpopo no yōna, tatazumai
... An ephemeral dandelion blooming in the shade...
リュウちゃんの、そんなところに ヨロめいてしまったのですわ。
ryuu-chan no, son'na tokoro ni yoro meite shimatta nodesu wa.
That's what Ryu-chan is like, and that's what made me fall for him.
儚い (はかない)
hakanai
• fleeting; transient; short-lived; momentary; ephemeral; fickle; vain
儚い or 儚げな can be used positively to describe some type of beauty found within weak/unstable/delicate things or people. It may be similar to so-called wabi-sabi.
げな (ge-na) - express the guess (it seems)
Madame literally calls Naruhodo "an ephemeral dandelion"
And gives a lot of food for thought, as it can be interpreted in many ways. After all, it is not just a randomly chosen flower.
The first thing that comes to mind is hanakotoba
In Hanakotoba (花言葉) Dandelions mean:
神託 (Oracle)
別離 (Separation)
幸福 (Happiness)
真心の愛 (Sincere Love)
愛の神託 (Oracle of Love)
Dandelions are known to be a fortune-telling flower which is why words like “神託 (Oracle)” are associated with it.
No less important meaning: dandelion is a symbol of courage, strength. Because this plant is able to grow in any conditions, and breaking through the asphalt, reaching for the sun.
Dandelion flowers also carry a meaning of wishing an ill person well, or happiness in times of darkness.
Suits our boy, doesn't it?
He represents each meaning: he was separated from his friend, he loved sincerely, he had a cold during the court hearing, and he found the strength to move on, making his own way when he was in unbearable pain.
We've dealt with the dandelion, now let's return to the "ephemeral".
On the one hand, everything is simple - dandelions look unreliable, weak, especially during the period of seed ripening. They are easily blown away by a weak breeze. Beauty and attractiveness that not everyone will appreciate. Why not ephemeral.
However, there may be much more meaning here. After all, another meaning is: short-lived
And then the phrase as a whole takes on a frightening meaning. She's literally says: he (the dandelion) will not be in this courtroom (in the darkness) for long. She literally predicts a "guilty" verdict for him, especially given her subsequent words. This is what she feels, what she wishes for him - to disappear into the darkness.
But her plans are not destined to come true, because the dandelion grows even through the asphalt.
___________________________________________
Well, and for comparison.
Mushrooms are often associated with spiritual growth, enlightenment, and rebirth. The mushroom's life cycle, with its ability to emerge from darkness and decay, represents the cyclical nature of life, death, and transformation.
This is probably a reference to Phoenix's name. Probably. That's all.
What do you think?

Not to knock on Wrightworth or other Phoenix ships but people like to make most of Phoenix's actions have a romantic undertone and really miss out on the fact that he'll just about die for anyone he considers a friend.
Like he took on a clearcut murder case with zero experience (what's a cross-examination lol) because he was friends with Larry in school.
He STRAIGHT UP ATE GLASS AND METAL for the girl he was dating and was willing to ignore that she'd murdered someone.
He changed his whole ass career to get in contact with Edgeworth again just to make sure he was okay emotionally (and for other reasons that people like to ignore just for making it all about Edgeworth), even though they literally were like in 4th grade together for like half a year.
The first case he defended Maya was almost entirely because of Mia, because he didn't know Maya yet.
Literally EVERY CASE that he defends Maya in he's going above and beyond all reason and logic to prove that she's not guilty.
Him literally going against all reason and evidence and Edgeworth's own admission in the Edgeworth case to prove he's not guilty.
HIM LITERALLY ONLY TAKING ON THE SKYE CASE BECAUSE EMA AND LANA REMINDED HIM OF MAYA AND MIA.
Him literally in the Engarde case willing to compromise all his principles to get a murderer off the hook to save her (they give you the option of going with pleading that Engarde is innocent, even though it doesn't effect the outcome).
Him literally running across a burning bridge at night over a huge cliff to make sure she's alright.
All I'm saying is I think the writers more intended to characterize Phoenix as someone who is willing to do almost anything for people he cares about (even if he acts like a grumpy asshole most of the time), more than emphasizing any one romantic relationship.
(I also think that's why he took Edgeworth faking his death so hard, and was so pissed at him for it. Like he felt betrayed and helpless at Edgeworth commiting suicide, mad (at Edgeworth and himself) that Edgeworth thought he couldn't come to him for help, when he would do anything for him. And then he finds out he was deceived, and couldn't understand how anyone could do that to someone they care about, like it's not in his friendship vocabulary ((also the fact that Edgeworth had confided in Gumshoe and not him that he was still alive, meaning he trusts Gumshoe more than him as a friend.)) It all comes down to Phoenix being betrayed that he's not trusted and his devotion to his friends not returned.)
Anyway sorry this is so long I hope it makes sense.
(also I've only played the original trilogy)
