Athena Cykes/Synopsis

The story of Athena Cykes from the Ace Attorney series.
==Early life==
Along with her mother, Dr. Metis Cykes, Athena lived at Cosmos Space Center as an infant. The clerks lovingly refer to her as "princess". However, she was very remote, generally on account of her hearing being far more sensitive than it was now that she would get sensory overload when she was in large crowds, mainly from hearing everyone's emotions at once. Due to this, Athena frequently missed school and stayed away from others. Athena did befriend Juniper Woods, a classmate who also missed school on account of her disability.
Metis spent much of her time on her research on Athena's hearing ability and on making robots that could understand emotions, making Athena feel neglected. She and her research colleague, Aura Blackquill, fashioned a special pair of headphones for Athena, and was required to wear them all the time, specifically when she had to go in public or at school. Athena despised them because they were heavy and uncomfortable, and they gave her horrible headaches. She tried to tell her mother to let her take them off, but her complaints fell onto deaf ears. Unable to grasp her mother's reason for the headphones, Athena thought she was being used as a guinea pig for Metis's research. Seven years passed before Athena found out that the headphones were really sound-dampening; they emitted sound frequencies that canceled emotional inputs in people's voices, and the long-term effect was to desensitized her in order to dampen her sensitive hearing enough to lead a more normal life.
Athena grew close to the androids Clonco and Ponco that Metis had conceived. However, her shaded childhood abandoned her ignorant of the finer distinctness's middle from people and androids. If an individual of the machines break, she would treat it like a human, by folding it in bandages. Conversely, when Metis fixed the androids utilizing the disassembly table situated in the study of computers lab, Athena thought it would work on people too. She frequently requested her mother if she use the table on her when she was hurt, even though her requests were denied.
=="Fixing" Her Mother==
On October 7, 2020, Athena came to see her mom in the electronics testing room to show her an drawing she had made. When she reached, nevertheless, she staggered upon a thief decorated in Metis' Noh mask and scope center jacket. He had the gory physique of her currently killed parent next to him. In a panic, Athena snagged a utility knife and attacked the man. The concealed man's blood splattered to a moon rock. The raider reciprocated by kicking her, translating her automatically, before jumping the setting. After regaining consciousness, Athena looks upon her now dead mother. In her naive state of denial and still almost understanding the distinctness from humans and androids, she had Ponco move Metis to the machine disassembly table. She thought the engine manage "fix" her with the machine.
At that moment, Prosecutor Simon Blackquill, Metis's junior and Aura's brother, arrived. Athena, coated in blood from the suffering, made clear to him — accompanying a grin and a "distant opportunity her eyes," as Prosecutor Blackquill later recalls — what she destined commotion. Prosecutor Blackquill, thinking Athena had killed her own mother, took Metis's katana to dismantle Ponco. He detached Athena and the android pieces from the testing room, unwittingly leaving headphone shaped imprint in blood on his clothes from carrying her. By the opportunity Athena restored to the Center, Prosecutor Blackquill had been seized for Metis's murder.
Prosecutor Blackquill's trial was grasped rapidly. Athena was called to the stand to testify, insisting "his heart is screaming that he didn't kill her" but was ignored as the court didn't know what she was talking about. Prosecutor Blackquill pleaded guilty and was convicted. After the occurrence, Athena stopped going to school; she did kept in touch with Juniper the two exchanged letters. At this point, she had stopped wearing the headphones, as she wasn't wearing them while testifying in Prosecutor Blackquill's favor. This was likely cause they had been submitted as evidence and that no one could force her to wear them anymore.
After the trial, Athena was sent to Europe to live with her relatives. She accepted accompanying her two together gifts her mom had likely her: Widget and a piece of moon rock necklace later fashioned into an earring She desired to sustain Prosecutor Blackquill eventually but acted mixed up by what method.
==Meeting Phoenix Wright==
Athena first join Phoenix Wright when he was in Europe learning the legal scheme. He discerned that her cognitive capabilities take care of helping the community. Athena was certain not to abandon Prosecutor Blackquill. She exerted hard and intentional society and attitude. Despite her hate toward Metis while alive, examining therapy fashioned Athena to feel tighter to her parent. Eventually, she has done her regulation studies and was called to touch the Wright Anything Agency. She enhanced an advocate at a young age on account of avoiding some grades while accompanying school in Europe.
==First Case With The Agency==
Just superior to her return, the Wright Anything Agency was drawn to a party at Nine-Tails Vale by Trucy Wright's companion, Jinxie Tenma. After the suburb alderman Rex Kyubi was killed and Damian Tenma was seized for evil, Phoenix Wright join the recently-hired Athena at the airfield. However, upon being spoken about the case, she soon hurried to Nine-Tails Vale to help.
Upon reporting at the suburb, a trooper secured Athena's habit, significant her that she endure affiliate with an organization school, in spite of her insisting that she was occupied by the attorney representing the defendant. When the deputy tried to escort her from the region, she alternatively confused him bodily through the air, right into an unlucky eyewitness the one produced expected her new co-employee Apollo Justice. After this rather embarrassing opening, two together attorneys started their case by means of Detective Bobby Fulbright. During the trial, Athena erect Simon Blackquill standing at the agent's court; in spite of being a convict, he was still admitted to taking cases. The Mood Matrix finished handy for the verdict the beginnings of Jinxie's fear while she testified. Eventually, Athena and Justice unprotected Florent L'Belle as the criminal.
Athena later helped in Phoenix Wright's representative occurrence afterward being rehired as a lawyer, at which point a cetacean mammal and before her trainer has blamed of murder the landowner of the Shipshape Aquarium. It was all along the search that Athena join Wright's traditional companion Pearl Fey for the first period.
==Defending Juniper==
Months later, Wright was encouraged to Themis Legal Academy to watch a mock trial start as one of the school's forthcoming festivals. Athena and Justice linked him and aimed to the school, place Athena join Juniper Woods repeated, the one was examining the judge course at the school and present image of the undergraduate conclave chief executive. Only Wright had existed likely a seat to watch the trial, but he let Justice endure while he and Athena rested outside for Constance Courte, a legal course assistant at the institute. Although she was assumed to meet Wright before the mock trial, she never attended. Eventually, Wright and Athena perceived an explosion and establish Courte accurately a stage up outside. Woods was arrested for her murder subsequently it was raised that the habit at which point the material had happened raise was nearly particularly the same in the mock trial synopsis, that Woods had written.
Athena was certain to oppose Woods' case, assisted by Justice and Klavier Gavin, Justice's traditional rival. Athena met Prosecutor Blackquill in court, the one who surpassed her for a short period as she doubted friend graduate Robin Newman, another potential suspect, utilizing the Mood Matrix to cause Newman to permit that she was a girl. Prosecutor Blackquill, therefore, bestowed an inculpating photograph, efficiently nullifying Athena's debates, in an attempt to show her the vicious matters of the tribunal. Court was someday adjourned, and Woods determined to restore Athena accompanying Professor Aristotle Means. However, Athena continued her inspection and yet converted Woods to reverse her resolution and accept to Athena the doubtful conduct of another graduate, Hugh O'Conner.
In the next epoch, Athena persistent that O'Conner was not the murderer, and influenced Means to the stand, as he had pretended his excuse. As her inquiry continued, Means reliable to taunt and dissuade her, craft her a deterioration the one had nearly elevated wrong charges against Newman and O'Conner. Athena participated in a state of emotional strain, visualizing occurrences from her past, but Justice and Woods heartened her, while O'Conner and Newman warned her that she had aided the ruling class all the while with her inquiry. Prosecutor Blackquill too warned Athena that she had the dignitary to sustain. With this, Athena snapped from her frightening state, reconsider the basic facts of the case, and played the habit at which point Means had secret the physique, finalizing welcome destiny for all time. After the trial, Gavin and Woods performed a report of "The Guitar's Serenade", that Athena guarded accompanying the possible choice in the hearing.
==Attack on HAT-2 & Courtroom No. 4==
Two months later, superior to the epoch of the HAT-2 rocket attack the Cosmos Space Center, Athena was restored to the Center's Space Museum so as that resume accompanying her past. However, her childhood knowledge confirmed also frightening, and she fainted. She excited up about the middle of the day the next era, confused and ignorant of what had occurred, and left the manned artificial research satellite unique, place she was discovered camcorder. It produced that, all along her occasion gone automatic, the initiate had existed sabotaged and a pilot, Clay Terran, had been killed.
Terran took place expecting Justice's intimate friend from secondary school, so Justice accepted the case of Solomon Starbuck, the additional cosmonaut the one who had existed accompanied Terran and endured blame for his murder. Athena resumed to conceal her past and a current visit to the Space Center, not hoping to lead it up accompanying the possible choice. Athena was startled to find Justice acting oddly towards her, in addition to tiring a bandage over an individual of welcome eyes. Unbeknownst to her, Justice had perceived that she was concealing entity about the case from him. Fearing that Athena was anyway complicated in welcome companion's murder, he had coated welcome eye to restrain welcome skill.
Starbucks' first trial era came to an unexpected end when Ted Tonate endures addressing the court that the atomic bomb was about to leave and orderly all to empty instantly. However, Justice was determined in resolving the case and declined to leave. Athena had to apply forcibly monotonous him in another direction the tribunal in consideration of sustaining him. Just before the bomb exploded, Juniper Woods, the one who had happened observant of the trial from the balcony, slashed and fell. Justice protected her from the falling remains and was harmed, while Athena and Prosecutor Blackquill carefully abandoned the tribunal. Woods was promptly jailed as the prime suspect in the bombardment.
Justice is certain to take Woods' case subsequently the bombardment. However, before the trial, he passed out on account of his harm, so Athena take over for him against agent Gaspen Payne. Payne's evidence against Woods and welcome provoking someday disturb Athena, and she endured another remembrance of her parent's murder that precipitated her to nearly mentally close in distress. Just as belongings appeared they are most barren for Athena and Woods, Phoenix Wright entered to take the place of the case, precipitating Athena to snap lacking her upset state. She helped Wright in searching for Woods' proof and governed to undermine the pursuit's case. The court was rapidly adjourned for the epoch, so Wright, Athena, and Woods were certain to confirm Justice, the one was expecting more evidence in the remnants of the drunk Courtroom No. 4. However, upon listing the ruined tribunal, they erect him lying on the ground, ignorant, close a horrifying piece of remains.
In the following era, Payne tried to attach Justice's assault on Woods, but Wright and Athena governed to justify that Tonate was the valid convict. Following on from that, they presented that the dead detective about the drunk tribunal had existed canceled by Tonate, on account of her discovering that he had happened prepared to handle the HH-3000 bomb being secondhand as evidence for the trial on the illegal commerce. After the trial was resolved and Woods establish naively, the inhabitants of the Wright Anything Agency were amazed when Justice asserted that he hopefully communicable a sabbatical, and ambled out. A disordered Athena was abandoned inquisitive reason he was shutting the ruling class out.
Starbuck's trial was later persisted in a new tribunal, accompanying Wright trying him harmless when faraway important evidence was raised not to have Starbuck's fingerprints on it. However, the success was ephemeral when Detective Fulbright disclosed that the fingerprints belonged to Athena. Starbucks was directly acquitted, accompanying Athena being jailed in a welcome place.
==Accused of Murder==
Due to the critical evidence inculpating her and the freedom camcorder movie that took her to leave the Space Center, Athena was indicted for Terran's murder. At the correctional facility, she accepted her occupancy at the Space Center to Wright, inciting him the second place welcome inspections skilled. However, the welcome examination was stopped when the Center's robots arranged disobedience and accepted Stick and company captive, containing welcome girl Trucy.
The captive-something that exists by taking from or depending on another was Aura Blackquill, who required that the lawman release the "little queen" Athena, but Phoenix presents a counter-suggestion: a retrial of Metis's murder case, as known or named at another time or place the UR-1 Incident. Aura recruited Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth to take the agent's courtroom. Since all the other courtrooms were common, Phoenix selected Courtroom No. 4 for the retrial. Aura therefore named Athena alternatively Simon as the accused, and this abandoned Athena in a frightening state as she pondered if she canceled her own mom. This manifested itself as five evil Psyche-Locks to Phoenix accompanying welcome magatama.
As the accused, Athena keep originally only watch as Phoenix weakened Aura's hypothesis on in what way or manner Simon had camouflaged for Athena, before cross-examining Ponco. Simon accepted the stand and resumed to admit to the murder as he had ruined seven age, but by way of Athena's Mood Matrix, Phoenix was intelligent to disclose the validity of what Simon had visualized. Athena again participated in shock, impotent to understand the seeming telling that she had destroyed her own parent. As thoughts restored, she admitted, remembering the ancestry running down her hands. Phoenix, still, secondhand these facts to show that Athena was naive because Metis's katana had no ancestry on the handle. After going over the basic facts of the case, Phoenix fulfilled that Athena must have punctured the authentic killer accompanying various arms. This telling permanently made Athena's angry Psyche-Locks break and admitted her to adequately remind what had taken place.
As the judge was about to declare Athena blameless, Apollo Justice accepted to the stand, alleging her of Clay Terran's murder. He accepted that he desired to depend on Athena's harmlessness, but welcome ornament had reacted when she had flatted about not bearing seen the serviceableness knife that had captured Terran's existence. Phoenix revealed that Athena had punctured her mom's murderer accompanying an equal knife, but Justice continued to present welcome logic concerning reason only she committed have destroyed Terran. Phoenix was intelligent to present an alternate hypothesis concerning by what method dignitary take care of have dedicated the crime and cautiously out, and amazed two together himself and so forth of the tribunal accompanying welcome achievement that the only additional likely culprit was Detective Bobby Fulbright.
==The Phantom==
The Wright Anything Agency was whole occasionally and accepted to the explanation's seat to reduce or hurt Fulbright, whom Phoenix contended was indeed a worldwide spy popular only as "the ghost", the one being the reason for the tribunal bombardment and the afterlife of Metis and Terran. The attorneys first evoked that Fulbright had existed as the individual the one bestowed the evidence accompanying Athena's fingerprints on it that had experienced her arrest, and a proper study told the prints were really Terran's. Athena secondhand her Mood Matrix to justify that Fulbright's lack of excitement while speaking bore many correspondences accompanying a subjective characterization that had been reconciled for the ghost by her parent. Eventually, "Fulbright" was disclosed expected an impersonator, accompanying the purpose behind a few of the welcome atrocities being to demolish the moon rock that had existed tainted accompanying welcome ancestry.
To confirm that the impersonator was the ghost, Phoenix permanently treed him with Athena's metals worn as decoration, that was containing a moon rock sample from seven at another time and a terrestrial competition to the horrifying moon rock. The ghost penniless money gambled the stand as he was strained to confront welcome fear of bearing welcome similarity disclosed, and an unseen gunman (non-giving small ground for hope) ammunition him. Athena was restored to the defendant's stand and took her "Not Guilty" decree. Athena would later touch Phoenix and Justice in vigilant Starbuck's ascension into the room on the HAT-3 rocket, concurrently with an activity bestowing the cosmonaut support.
==Crisis at the Agency==
In the following period, Trucy Wright was blamed for murder when friend entertainer Manov Mistree dwindled all the while a tryout of individual of her appearance shows at the Penrose Theater. Athena helped Justice occasionally to confirm her blamelessness. During their review, they endure Ema Skye, a legal physicist, and associate of Justice and Trucy, and well-informed that a worldwide agent from the Kingdom of Khura'in, Nahyuta Sahdmadhi, is hopeful of prosecuting the case. In the process of their inquiry, it enhanced obviously that the builder for Trucy's show, Roger Retinz, grasped few in a way grudge against the young genius. They further found that he had fooled Trucy into signing a contract that, if the appearance shows search out be canceled as long as she was erect and blameworthy, would influence the Wright Anything Agency being repossessed. However, Justice and Athena were finally capable to convince that Retinz was the valid convict behind Mistree's murder, through an expanse of Trucy's name and conditional the Agency.
==Alone in Court==
A few weeks later, Athena opposed a last case including a murder that had happened at Kurukuru Tei at Simon Blackquill's request, accompanying Sahdmadhi occasionally prosecuting. However, occurred one time only Athena was unique, as Justice and Trucy were rehearsing appearance tricks concurrently with activity and Phoenix was overseas in Khura'in, much to Prosecutor Blackquill's chagrin. The accused was Bucky Whet, head soba cook at the Whet Soba (that Prosecutor Blackquill used to frequent superior to welcome arrest), the one who was blamed for murdering rakugo master Taifu Toneido.
As the trial started, Athena was destroyed by accompanying impatience, as she had never controlled a case completely unique before. Prosecutor Sahdmadhi's first witness was Prosecutor Blackquill himself, the one who had found the corpse in addition to Taifu's two scholars: Geiru Toneido and Uendo Toneido. After the proof of Prosecutor Blackquill and Geiru to the stand, Prosecutor Blackquill linked Athena at the armament's tribunal as her co-counsel, demanding that he was uninterested just vigilant the trial.
During Uendo's cross-examination, Athena decided that the karuta cards found at the felony setting that apparently involved Whet by orthography out "WHET NO 4" had literally existed rearranged, that she blamed Uendo for achievement. Eventually, she and Prosecutor Blackquill were well-informed that Uendo had a disorder with two or more independent alters, accompanying the cards being rearranged from "OWEN 4TH" to elude trace from welcome divide into four equal parts traits. Although Uendo reliable to contend that he acted not have divided into four equal parts traits, Athena and Prosecutor Blackquill solved that it must only conclude if the different three traits were nonexistent, quoting the intoxicating held in a purpose manjū raise at the case set as a reason for being Uendo would become unconscious, and supposing that the division into four equal parts traits power has destroyed the sufferer. With this in mind, Prosecutor Blackquill shipped welcome warmonger Taka to acquire well-being manjū.
Upon consuming the manjū that had existed restored, Uendo fast enhanced drunk and unconscious. Now automatically, welcome divided into four equal parts traits, a child named Owen, appeared. During welcome after proof, Athena was well-informed that Owen had existed at the case setting all the while the murder, the place he endorsed that the fatality had defended oneself and cut the welcome aggressor. However, Prosecutor Sahdmadhi accepted the convenience to caution the court that Whet had a bandaged wound above the welcome eye. Athena was dazed and insecure about what method to originate, but Prosecutor Blackquill attracted her aside to calculate that she had to continue, even though the probability was shapely against her. Filled accompanying recently discovered vigor and assurance, she persisted in her Mood Matrix healing of Owen, that promptly disclosed that he had inhaled a welcome favorite scent before passing out. With these new facts, she blamed Geiru for the murder.
After being restored to the stand to listen to the indictment, Prosecutor Blackquill's secondhand welcome iaijutsu finger affect to pop a balloon she was property held, which disclosed a brow wound under her bangs. Athena continued to justify that the murder armament was not soba money, as the original hope, but preferably, udon money, entirely avoiding Geiru's soba sensitivity. Geiru was promptly bankrupt unhappy and confirmed to the evil.
==A Trip & Wedding==
Three days afterward Whet's trial, Athena makes use of the airfield to meet Phoenix, the one revolving around a welcome trip to the Kingdom of Khura'in. Unfortunately for Phoenix, nevertheless, Athena stopped making use of the wrong installation and flatten unconscious. By the opportunity she restored, Justice was about to dispute against Phoenix in a civic trial over an often of great value named the Founder's Orb, much to her surprise. It yet occurred that Phoenix was being blackmailed into communicable the case, accompanying welcome customer, Paul Atishon, estate Phoenix's traditional companion Maya Fey captive. Nonetheless, Justice trained to justify Atishon's blameworthy murder and achieved the trial, even though Maya was still gone in Khura'in.
Phoenix, Edgeworth, Justice, and Athena are therefore well-traveled to Khura'in in consideration of finding and rescuing Maya. Although she helped Justice in the welcome analysis, she was spoken to before Dhurke Sahdmadhi's trial to wait for her security. After the trial's judgment, Justice selected to wait for Khura'in in consideration of helping restore the country's permissible structure. Upon the rest of the group's resuming the United States, Trucy, immediately down and out a new charmer's helper, set her sights on Athena, much to the latest's dismay. When Phoenix accepted the explanation of Ellen Wyatt months later, Athena has gone through most of the cases to escape from Trucy. After Phoenix's success in court against Edgeworth, she accompanied Wyatt's marriage to Sorin Sprocket, the place she reliable to catch the spousal aroma, only for Larry Butz to expect the receiver alternatively. This happened in him being madly pursued by Athena, Maya, and Skye.
