NOTE: Potential long-term commitment role. 

LINE COUNT: Very large for these 8 episodes. Less-so in future cases and series but still prominent.

Athena Cykes is a defense attorney working under Phoenix Wright at the Wright Anything Agency. She is a specialist in analytical psychology, which she studied in Europe. She has highly sensitive hearing and has the special ability to pick up subtle emotions from witnesses' voices, which she can then examine using a program called the "Mood Matrix". The Mood Matrix is linked to her AI partner Widget, who hangs around her neck and changes color with her emotions.

I’m not married to the previous take whatsoever and am completely open to all interpretations here - the video is just a reference to a performance we liked a lot before.

Voice pitch: Mid to mid-low. American, Female.

Personality: While she’s only a fledgling defense attorney, Athena is incredibly smart and uses analytics as her way of identifying inconsistencies in testimonies. She has strong emotions which can lead to recklessness, but she’s Type A, well-spoken and intelligent. She will carry the bulk of the lines in this case and be a prominent figure in future Dual Destinies cases. Feel free to throw any ad-libs you like into the following lines as well, as we embrace those for our main characters. The voice of Athena will also be the robot voice for Widget.
