Phoenix Wright, born Ryūichi Naruhodō, launched his legal career under Mia Fey’s mentorship at Fey & Co. Law Offices. Following Mia’s tragic death, he defended her sister Maya, unraveling the Fey clan’s mystical secrets—spirit channeling that let Mia advise him from beyond through Maya or her cousin Pearl. Early trials pitted him against prosecutors like Miles Edgeworth, a childhood friend turned rival shaped by trauma and the ruthless teachings of Manfred von Karma. His defining breakthrough came during the DL-6 Incident retrial, exposing von Karma’s crimes and freeing Edgeworth from his guilt-ridden past. Subsequent clashes saw Phoenix facing Franziska von Karma’s whip and Godot’s vendetta, tied to Mia’s unsolved history. Cases frequently entangled him with Fey family lore—sparring with Maya’s mother Misty, navigating spirit realms, and safeguarding ancient relics. Seven years into his career, Phoenix’s badge was stripped after a forgery scandal, yet he persisted underground as a piano-playing sleuth, adopting Trucy Wright, daughter of a past client. Operating in shadows, he trained proteges Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes, whose talents—Apollo’s lie-detecting perception, Athena’s emotion-sensing tech—redefined his reborn Wright Anything Agency. Relentless pursuit of truth restored his badge, propelling him to Khura’in’s fractured courts, dismantling a rigged judicial monarchy. Central bonds anchor his journey: partnership with Maya, fractious camaraderie with Edgeworth, and fatherly devotion to Trucy. His evolution spans weathering disgrace, mastering supernatural trials, and transitioning from Mia-dependent novice to a shrewd leader forging a legacy through his students.
