Penny Nichols

"Penny Nichols"

- I don't care what kind of girl you might think I am, I need that card!

Penny Nichols is an employee at Global Studios in charge of equipment. She is obsessed with The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, and collects Steel Samurai trading cards. Phoenix Wright helped her to complete her collection during his investigation of the murder of Jack Hammer. After the incident, Penny still kept in touch with Maya Fey, sending her Pink Princess trading cards.

Personality
Nichols could be considered to be amongst the most "normal" of the individuals Wright met during his career. Her only personality quirk is her love of the Samurai franchise.

Name

 * "Mamiya" (間宮) comes from "mania" as she is a die-hard fan.


 * "Penny Nichols" seems to come from "penny" and "nickel(s)", the coins.


 * If English spelling is used, a close pronounciation of her French name "Iseult Rosentz" would roughly be "Eezuh Rozentz", which is close to "eurocent", the "decimal part" of the euro.

Development

 * When the player first encounters Penny Nichols, the "???" name placeholder is changed to "Penny", even though she only introduces herself as an assistant.


 * She never actually formally introduces herself, mostly being referred to as the/an assistant. The first time her name is mentioned in-game (outside of her court record profile) is during a conversation with Wendy Oldbag.

She has an alleged affair with Mia Fey on Gyakusai-Tumblrs.
