#this is also an official declaration to capcom to have apollo and rayfa interact more

[nightowlssleep]

Has anyone realized the parallels between Apollo Justice and Rayfa Padma Khura'in or do I have to point them out myself?

Both have father figures who raised them, whom they love dearly despite not being their biological children, so much so that both decide to follow in their footsteps (Apollo becoming a defense attorney like Dhurke, and Rayfa's whole personality being heavily shaped by her father's behaviour due to the fact that she's a daddy's girl) (The parents also deeply care for them where Dhurke still keeps a 20+ year old photograph of Apollo in his office and Inga keeps the birthday letter that Rayfa wrote him among his most prized possession in a safe made of solid gold)

Neither of them know their real mothers and said mothers are thought to be dead when in reality are forced into disguises due to circumstances outside of their control and yet both Apollo and Rayfa find comfort in them in spite of not being aware of their true identities (Apollo finding comfort in Lamiroir's voice and songs so much so that he uses it as a ringtone and Rayfa's dependence on Nayna, which when Nayna disappears (at the same time of Inga's death) causes Rayfa to be incredibly upset and barely able to function)

Lastly they're both the estranged/unknowing siblings of Nahyuta either due to the time spent apart or just cuz they didn't know they were brother and sister
