Franziska is a prosecutor in the Ace Attorney series. She carries a whip with her that she uses to whip people she doesn't like. She has a habit of calling anyone she finds annoying "foolish". In this case Franziska is a young girl of 13 who has come in from Germany just to compete with Edgeworth to find out who is worthy of the Von Karma name. In the English versions of Ace Attorney games she comes from Germany meaning it's possible for her to have a German accent, although she doesn't have this accent in her "Take that's" and "Objections" so it's fine for her to have an American accent.
