April May

"April May"

- April May! At your service! *wink*

"Judge"

- Order! An introduction should not require any reaction from the crowd! The witness will refrain from wonton winking!

"April May"

- Aww...Yes, Your Honor.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (This is not good...She's already captured the heart of every man in the court!)

April May was a secretary at Bluecorp and a witness in the murder of Mia Fey, accusing Mia's sister Maya Fey for the murder. She was incarcerated for using a wiretap to spy on Mia Fey.

Phoenix Wright first accused her of murdering Mia Fey but Miles Edgeworth revealed to the court that she was guilty only of placing the wiretap in the Fey & Co. Law Offices.

Personality
"April May"

- I like a man with a big...vocabulary.

First impressions of April May gave the appearance of a cute, lively and flirtatious young woman who liked to tease people and knew how to get her own way. She would normally do this with her sex appeal, using a combination of ample cleavage, an innocent expression and a cutesy style of speech.

When cornered, however, May would reveal her true personality: aggressive, sneering and temperamental. Whenever this happened, the top heart-shaped button on her blouse turned upside down. Although a formidable individual herself, she was shown to be frightened of her boss Redd White, most likely since she knew he was certainly capable of murder.

May enjoyed ice coffee, ordering it at the Gatewater Hotel when she stayed there. She also believed that everything was sold in stores.

Name

 * "April May" refers to the months of April and May.


 * The first three kanji of her Japanese name makes "shouchikubai", which means, "lowest, medium, highest". This is similar to her boss's name.


 * Her French name comes from the French words "mars" (March) and "avril" (April).

Development

 * April May and Redd White's names were chosen together. They were some of the first characters created and they set the standard for all the witnesses that would follow them, in terms of eccentricity and pun-based names.


 * Originally Wright was not to meet May until her court appearance, whereupon he would get "heart eyes". The script was changed, however, so Wright would meet her during his investigation instead. The sprite affiliated was cut.
