Larry Butz: A Casanova Wannabe and renowned troublemaker, who mistakes every hint of attraction to a girl for "True Love", demands his desire to be fulfilled and reacts hysterical to rejection. (Id)
Phoenix Wright: Obsessed with helping others to the point of basing his whole education and career around the possibility to slap some sense into a friend he knew for barely 8 months in grade school, but also a great Deadpan Snarker inside and professional Butt Monkey, who is often shown to be afraid of accidentally making a "too" wrong choice during one of his Indy Ploys. (Ego)
Miles Edgeworth: A rather serious person and great logical thinker, described as a "bookworm" by Larry, who, both, prior to his Face Heel Turn and after his Heel Face Turn 15 years later is driven by the desire to uncover the truth and serve justice, saving the innocent and punishing the guilty. Also prone to hold a "World of Cardboard" Speech now or then. (Superego)
