Orla Shipley


 * "Ora Shipley" redirects here. For the orca that resided at Shipshape Aquarium one year before the events of Turnabout Reclaimed, see Ora Shipley the First.

Ora "Orla" Shipley is a pet orca living in Shipshape Aquarium. After the aquarium's owner, Jack Shipley, was found dead by Orla's pool, Orla came under suspicion in Shipley's death. Her trainer Sasha Buckler requested that Phoenix Wright defend Orla in court.

Despite her name being "Ora", she responds to "Orla". It is later revealed that the original Ora Shipley is Orla's older sister.

Name



 * "Ale" comes from "hoeeru" (ホエール), a word for "whale".
 * "Orla" and "Ora" are both derived from "orca" while "Shipley" is a play on the word "ship."

Development

 * Orla is the second animal to be cross-examined in court in the series, as well as the second to be called the stand by Wright as a witness. She is, however, the first witness to not speak any English at all during a testimony.
