Juniper Woods

Juniper Woods is a childhood friend of Athena Cykes. A senior high school student with a weak disposition, Woods has a habit of going into spasms when she becomes nervous. Despite this, she is studying to become a judge at Themis Legal Academy, where she is also the president of the student council. She was accused of planting a bomb to destroy one of the courtrooms at the District Court, with the newly-reinstated Phoenix Wright as her defense attorney.

Personality
Woods often has a habit of coughing while talking and prevents this by inhaling the essence from the sunflower in her hair. She is shy though she is the student council president. She also has a habit of pausing and stuttering during everyday conversation.

Woods also seems to enjoy knitting; when thinking about Apollo Justice, she knits a very long, scarf-like object with an abundance of hearts on it, while wearing a dreamy facial expression.

Name

 * The "mori" (森) in her Japanese surname means "forest".


 * Depending on the kanji used, her Japanese given name "Shinobu" can mean "endure", "purify", "belief", "intention", "recall", or "remember".


 * Both her given and family names in the English version are botanically-themed; juniper being a type of coniferous plant. This is in keeping with her clothing having plant motifs.


 * Her last name was misspelled as "Wood" in a "fact sheet" for Dual Destinies ahead of E3 2013.

Development

 * It may be noted that in Turnabout Academy Juniper's costume design is the same as Lamiroir's to the point that her friendship bracelet is placed almost exactly where Lamiroir's is.
 * It is possible that Juniper's outift for cases 1, 4, and 5 are from one of the early designs of Dahlia Hawthorne as the latter's design had Dahlia in a similar dress and Dahlia knitting a scarf for her "boyfriend".
