Who/what
Mia is Phoeniz Wright's mentor and senior as a lawyer.

She dies at the beginning of the first game, 2nd case iirc

Mia also comes from a long line of spirit mediums, so when she died, her spirit stuck around to help Phoenix solve the case. She did this by temporarily possessing her younger sister Mya (she's like 16 or something). When she possesses Mya, the latter inexplicably takes on the physical traits of her oldet sister, meaning she becomes very buxom and has a beauty mark.

In a later game, Mia possesses her 8 year-old niece, Pearl, and the same physical transformation happens. But since it's a grown woman wearing the yukata of a small child....yeah

It's played for some laughs but there's something very discomforting about it and iirc Mia swears Phoenix to secrecy about it, so Mya and Pearl are none the wiser.

It made sense in the early games because that's exactly the age group of the target audience. Yes, there were older people perving out on it, but from a marketing point of view, it served the main intended audience well.

Now that the audience is mostly the existing fanbase who have aged, yeah, it's a bit weird to keep doing it with new characters.

(Edit: Responding to the general trend of younger assistants; not TC's original point.)

Now that you mention it, I wonder how much of this is motivated by the target audience. The actual lawyers are often kept as young as they believably can be. (And even younger, in the case of Fran lol)

I remember hearing in Japan that older characters aren't as popular as they are in the West. So having young teen assistants for the primary young teen audience might be a marketing decision

Rayfa absolutely counts.
She may have been antagonistic towards him, but she served as Phoenix's assistant during his segments of the game.
Based Giga Stacy Athena got Blackquill as her assistant

Which is weird cuz some of the best animes of the 90s/early 00s had adult protagonists (Cowboy Bebop, GitS, Trigun, etc.)

It plays very heavily into the main storyline thread of the original trilogy that Pearls can effortlessly do it at a young age. Yes Japan is going to Japan but in narrative sense it's actually really important and plays off well. Just don't show Larry young Pearl's profile.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


There's also the fact that the assistants are never once portrayed sexually (Phoenix clearly sees Maya as a little sister figure despite what a bunch of shippers want to see) and the game spells out that Phoenix is a father figure for Rayfa. People just trying to project their own horniness on the series. The kid sidekick is a staple in detective genres. Just look at Batman. But of course people get weird with female characters.
