A/N: Hey guys! This isn't exactly a chapter, just a quick character sheet for the OC's in this story. There are a few, but they're all children (or related) of (mostly) canon characters from both Ace Attorney and Professor Layton. I'll start with the oldest and work my way down to the youngest.
I will also mention the first story they appeared in.
Remember, in this universe, Spirit of Justice never happened (though this story will contain elements from that game.)
Two head cannons I should make clear:
1. Phoenix graduated Ivy U with both his law and art degree. While horrible at 3D art, he's really skilled at 2D (painting, sketching, ect.) and tends to draw everyone he meets. This leads to some awkward times (think of the women he meets), but he keeps it up to keep practicing. Since moving to Kurain, he likes to paint landscapes when he has down time. Both kids got this artistic gene.
2. Both Apollo and Ema are closet sci-fi geeks. Most people into science, like Ema, tend to be, and Apollo makes WAY too many sci-fi references between Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies not to be. Clay probably got him into sci-fi. Thus, their daughter, Lexi, got this gene, but doesn't hide it. At. All.

Zeus Justice: Biological father of Apollo Justice
Created before SoJ came out, named after the Greek God who had been Apollo's father (as, you know, opposed to the Roman God that the canon character is named after…).
Appearance: Shoulder length, blond hair with two locks framing his face, dark brown eyes, large forehead.
Thalassa's first husband and now current husband. He is laid back, yet passionate about his job as an escape artist. He seemed to die in a tragic stage accident when one of his escapes went wrong, but instead went into a coma, waking up many years later. He is an expert at lock picking with a high tolerance for pain and skilled at contortion. He is double jointed in most parts of his body.
First Appeared: Turnabout Escape.
Eric Shiner: Husband of Flora Shiner (Previously Flora Reinhold)
Appearance: Tall, muscular and tan with dark blond, messy curly hair and dark brown eyes.
Used to use overconfidence to hide his shyness, he is a lover of archaeology and very caring. He is a professor of Archeology at Gressensheller, and has been close friends/rival with Luke Triton since they were young. Used to specialize in the ancient civilization of the Venrin, he now specializes in people who date back to even older then the Azran.

There will probably be a few more, but these are the most important ones for this story (or to understand the kids, because one doesn't appear in the story at all…).
