Trucy Wright

Trucy Wright is Apollo Justice's "sidekick" and Phoenix Wright's adopted daughter. She is a professional stage magician born into the Gramarye family of magicians, her biological father being Zak Gramarye and her grandfather being Magnifi Gramarye. As such, her original name is Trucy Enigmar.

Early life

 * Main article: Turnabout Succession

The first eight years of Trucy's life were spent with her father, magician Zak Gramarye. Her mother, Thalassa Gramarye, disappeared after an accident involving a magic trick being performed between her, Zak and his partner Valant Gramarye. Being of the Gramarye bloodline, she had the ability to perceive subtle, involuntary movements in people.

One day, Trucy's grandfather, Magnifi Gramarye, was killed, and her father was put on trial for the murder. Before the trial, Kristoph Gavin gave Trucy a piece of evidence, instructing her to give it to Phoenix Wright, Zak Gramarye's attorney. The evidence turned out to be fake; prosecutor Klavier Gavin, through a tip from his brother Kristoph, exposed the evidence as a fraud, but Zak Gramarye suddenly disappeared from the courtroom. Trucy helped her father to escape, distracting baliff Mike Meekins with her giant puppet Mr. Hat. Zak promised Trucy that he would return one day.

Two weeks later, Phoenix Wright called Trucy Enigmar to his office to discuss where she would live. Wright searched for relatives of Trucy to no avail, so he took her in and raised her as his own child.

Trucy converted Phoenix's office into the Wright Talent Agency and held magic performances for money. Among her props were Mr. Hat and her magic panties, out of which she could allegedly pull anything. She also often accompanied Phoenix in the Borscht Bowl Club to help him win his poker games with her ability to read his opponents.

Encounter with another attorney

Seven years after his disappearance, Zak Gramarye visited Phoenix Wright at the Borscht Bowl Club as Shadi Smith. He gave Phoenix his will, which gave Trucy the rights to Magnifi's magic tricks. Later, during a poker game with Phoenix, he knocked the dealer unconscious and Phoenix left to call the police; during Phoenix's absence, Kristoph Gavin appeared and killed Zak Gramarye.

Phoenix then replaced Zak's hat on his head and put a drop blood on an ace of spades. He gave the card to Trucy, instructing her to give it to Apollo Justice, a lawyer working for Kristoph. He then hired Justice as his attorney after he was set to go on trial for Zak's murder.

During the trial, Trucy gave the card to Justice; the card revealed crucial facts about the case and allowed for the implication of Kristoph Gavin as the real killer. Kristoph was later convicted and sent into solitary. When Phoenix told Justice that the card had been forged, Justice punched him and vowed never to associate with him again.

Assistant to Justice
Eventually, however, as Justice was now out of a job thanks to the conviction of his employer, he reluctantly entered the Wright Talent Agency, where he met Trucy and Phoenix again. Phoenix sent the two to investigate three crimes that had occurred. It would turn out that all three were connected to a murder, and Justice took the case for the defendant. Trucy taught Justice about her ability to perceive tension in witnesses, and Justice found that he also had the ability and that it was somehow much stronger as well. With the help of this newly discovered ability, Justice won the case.

Trucy became a fan of the prosecutor, Klavier Gavin, and bought all of the albums from his band.

Later, Klavier invited Justice and Trucy to one of his concerts. However, someone was killed, and thus Justice and Klavier faced off again in court, with Justice winning. This case involved Trucy's mother, who had lost her memory and knew herself only as a singer named Lamiroir, but Trucy never became aware of this.

Justice's next case brought back the events from the disappearance of Zak Gramarye. Phoenix gave Trucy Zak's will, claiming that it was a present for Recycle Your Plastics Day, but he told her not to open it yet. The will tied into the case as well; Magnifi had given the rights to his magic to Zak and then committed suicide, causing Valant to try to frame Zak for the murder.

Justice eventually found out that Shadi Smith was Zak Gramarye, but upon informing the court of this, he was surprised to find her unmoved by the revelation that her father had died. After Justice won the trial, Trucy explained that she had figured that Smith was her father.

Family
Trucy Wright's oldest known relative is Magnifi Gramarye, her grandfather. Her father is Zak Gramarye and her mother is Thalassa Gramarye, better known as Lamiroir after her "death". Trucy has never been informed of her mother's whereabouts or about the fact that Apollo Justice is her half-brother through her mother.

Personality
Similarly to Wright's assistant Maya Fey, Trucy is bright, energetic and very naïve. However, underneath all this, she is also very perceptive and intelligent, usually being able to piece things together in and out of court even more quickly than Apollo Justice does. She recently became a fan of Klavier Gavin and his band.
