This story is actually a prequel spin-off story to another fanfic, Clarence Wright: Ace Attorney, which I'm writing with my friend Emiko Gale, who also helped me with writing this fanfic.
As of this author's note, the Jade Justice character hasn't appeared in Clarence Wright yet. But she'll show up by the third chapter, and I'm sure you'll love her there as much as you will here!
So enjoy, and have an awesome day!
Disclaimer: Emiko Gale and I do not own Ace Attorney or any previously established characters but I do own Jade Justice. We are just fans making an AU fanfiction that could possibly work as canon.

Dear diary,
Now that I feel like I'm taking the next step towards the rest of my life, maybe I should give a summary of my life up to this point. So that, in the future, I could look back on my past and see how much I've grown. Well, here goes nothing...
My name is Jade Justice. I'm 16 years old, and I'm about to make one of the biggest moves in my life.
I grew up in Kurain Village with my mom and dad. Mom wanted me to learn how to channel spirits so I could be a full-fledged spirit medium like her and Aunt Maya, the master of Kurain Village.
However, my dad had different plans in mind. He saw how brilliant I was in school, and said I had the potential to become a great lawyer like him and Uncle Nick. He told me how good I was at thinking logically and supporting my opinions with solid facts as he'd read the English essays I'd bring home that'd have a big red "A+" written on the top.
To be quite honest, I have to agree with him. Besides, I've always been more interested in gaining knowledge in more scholastic studies rather than in the occult. Though my mom thinks I could be a fine leader of Kurain someday, but it just doesn't feel right to me.
Because I've been very absorbed in my studies through my school years, I haven't had much social interaction with my classmates. Not to mention, most of them weren't of very honorable character and didn't care for their studies unlike I do.
But I will admit, I've had my fair share of crushes on some attractive guys in my class. I try not to keep my mind on them for too long because those thoughts could distract me from my work. Though, I must admit that I am envious of my parents' relationship.
My mother is a very powerful medium, and my father was like a powerful demigod in the courtroom. My mother had every right to not believe in love because of her past. All the male relationships around her fell apart, and because of that, she was losing faith that people were capable of having a strong bonds with each other. However, she believed in love despite all the heart-break around her, and eventually she found her prince.
It's like a beautiful romance novel, I adored all the stories my mother would tell me about her relationship with my father.
Mom told me that she met my dad after he was involved in an explosion in a courtroom years ago. She heard about what happened from my uncle and went to visit him in the hospital and give him comfort. From then on, they started talking with each other more often, and they each learned they could relate to each other in many ways they didn't even realize. Their love and their faithfulness to each other grew so strong, they both decided they wanted to be together forever.
Maybe someday I'll find someone like my father, but now that's not my top priority.
So because I've put out an excellent effort in keeping my grades high and retaining all that I've learned, I come to this stage in my life: I'm studying overseas in Germany to become an ace defense attorney.
I'm extremely grateful for my family's hard work in bringing me here. Mom, dad, Uncle Nick, and Aunt Maya all pooled in a share of their money to save up for my plane trip. This feels almost miraculous since I've grown up in a family who doesn't have all the money in the world to afford this kind of endeavor.
As I'm typing all of this out on my laptop, I'm on an iFly jumbo jet headed for Germany. While the amenities here, like the food, the attendants, and the in-flight TV service, are great, I'm not so fond of the interior design. The walls are all pink and the seats are yellow. It's like a toddler was hired to decorate this place.
But at least my row is quietly sleeping away while I'm here in my seat, pondering what will happen when I arrive.
All the people I'll meet, all the customs I'll have to get used to, and the language I'll have to learn: all of these things I'm anxious to experience.
On second thought, maybe a little rest won't hurt me. I think I'll stop writing for now. Tomorrow will be a brand new day.
-Signed, Jade Justice
