Phoenix Wright celebrates Almost Christmas. Maya helps him shape traditions. The tree always has to have one parrot ornament, an old photo depicting Miles and Phoenix as kids playing while Gregory Edgeworth keeps an eye is put up in a festive frame, some part of their day involves walking down to the lake. When Maya leaves, he tries to get Larry involved but the holiday period is a busy time and he's got his own traditions. The first person he truly gets to share it with after Maya is Trucy. He introduces her to these things as if they are normal but Trucy's Christmas tree has never had a parrot before and why does her new Daddy insist on this place specifically for their walk? She goes along, learns and performs the traditions without any understanding. When she is around ten or so, she meets Uncle Miles, who wants to spend Christmas with them. She tries to explain their traditions to him and she can tell his feelings on the subject are mixed. He rolls his eyes at the parrot on the tree, he stares fondly, with a longing, at their photo. "Why?" Miles asks Phoenix when he thinks Trucy can't hear as they take their walk around the lake. "Why do you keep revisiting these memories?" The disbarred attorney just smiled. "Because as horrible as it all was, it saved you. It helped me prove to you something I already knew, that you aren't a murderer."

Miles tried to respond at that, only to be interrupted by Trucy, asking him about his Almost Christmas traditions. He gave her a and took her hand and talked with her as they walked. After that, a new frame appeared in the Wright home every Almost Christmas, clear fold lines in the newspaper clipping of the story of Manfred Von Karma's conviction.

Apollo instantly understood what Almost Christmas meant, his hero worship of Phoenix Wright providing him with all the information he needed. It would seem like an odd thing to celebrate, until you see the way the Edgeworth and Wright look at each other.

Athena was confused by what Wright meant by "stepping Almost Christmas up a notch" after he got reinstated. She soon found the office was home to a fair few more fireworks than she had recalled. Trucy was working on a whole new parrot puppet just for the occasion. She'd met Miles Edgeworth briefly in Germany one time but here, in the anything agency office, preparing for Almost Christmas, he was almost a completely different creature. He had stepped into the office with two tote bags, placing them on Wright's desk (which he seemed not to notice or pay attention to) and removing from them a series of frames containing photos and newspaper clippings and even a doodle of a radio with the caption "It's Almost Christmas." When Apollo later filled her in on the story behind Almost Christmas, she was shocked, but she supposes for the Wright Anything Agency, wild and unimaginable shouldn't be a surprise.

Robin Newman is a far stronger soul than I will ever be, because if I ever had a rumour spread of a love triangle within my friend group, got mistaken for one of them while wearing an outfit made for her, claimed responsibility for a murder I never committed to protect her, spent a notable amount of time trying to capture her beauty through painting and training myself to save her, found out that the friendship charms I had made for us all were kept close all this time, jumped to the support of her defense lawyer who helped me discover myself, discovered that our other mutual friend who’s really a 25 year old with a construction job never had a love confession for her at all, and THEN heard her fawn over a brunette in red for, among other reasons, being “always there for Thena when she was in a bind”, I would spontaneously combust then and there.

My take on a redesign for Athena! I like her canon design just fine but I made a few tweaks to cater it more to character design aspects I like to draw. Plus I’ve just got a personal preference against wearing tights (I hate the texture) so I gave her pants.

And tbh if I could hear so well that I could hear people’s emotions I’d be wearing noise-cancelling headphones all the time. Sure, it’s a useful ability in court, but not when you’re trying to go to bed or just…get groceries or something.

But anyway I love Athena and I want to draw her more, so I did this as a way to figure out how I wanted to draw her
