Name: Wednesday Adelaide
Gender: Female
Age: 23 (in AJ timeline)
Name Origin (as all PW characters must have some meaning to their name): Her surname "Adelaide" alludes to a queen of the same name.
Appearance:
Hair: Legally blond ( xp ), a little past the shoulder. Has straight, severe bangs. Is almost always styled or pulled back in some way.
Eyes: brown
Skin: very pale
Build: 5'4", thin
Outfit: Always changes. She is always professional and fashionable. Sometimes she will come to court in one outfit and then show up at the crime scene later that day in a completely different outfit.
Other: She loves fashion, and is always following the trends. She knows what looks good on her.
Personality:
Wednesday is a stone-cold prosecutor in designer heels. She strives to be as well-known as Edgeworth or Franziska (she's a Franziska fangirl) and make her mark as the best-dressed too. She has earned the nickname "The Prosecutor in Prada" from her coworkers in the DA's office.
She is very snobbish and spoiled, and a bit of a prude. She can be rather blunt, sometimes to the point of rudeness.
She takes her job very seriously and makes sure no one slacks off. She can't stand easy-going people (like Phoenix Wright) and sees his protege Apollo Justice as her rival.
She can also be a bit competitive, especially when it comes to chess.
Her personality has made it difficult for her to make very many friends.
Likes:
Fashion, her job, pretty things, getting her way
Dislikes:
Slackers, rule-breakers, idiocy
Connection to canon:
Phoenix Wright: He defended her when she was accused of murdering her friend. She has since lost respect for him after he lost his badge.
Miles Edgeworth: He was the prosecutor in that case. After the case, she worked for him as his secretary where she learned the ins and outs of real law. She worked for him almost the entire seven years between T&T and AJ. He was rather annoyed by her at first, as she kept pestering him for a job. He began to admire her tenacity, though, and he finally gave in. Their relationship has a purely student/teacher dynamic, and she often compares him to and treats him like her own father.
She strongly questions his fashion sense, and she hates his cravat. Similarly, he gets annoyed when she puts her appearance first over her work.
Ema Skye: They’ve met once or twice in passing while she worked for Edgeworth. Their relationship is rough at best. Ema is jealous that she worked with Edgeworth for those seven years, and Wednesday knows it. They are cordial to each other’s face, but sometimes they talk trash behind each other’s back. (“Can you believe her? She thinks she’s hot stuff because she’s Mr. Edgeworth prodigy. *MUNCH MUNCH*” “Ugh, that detective is so sloppy sometimes. Those capris are so…shoddy!”) However, they do share the common bond of their similar feelings toward Klavier.
Klavier Gavin: Wednesday absolutely, positively, cannot stand him and avoids working with him at all costs. He’s a lazy, selfish, complacent fop of a man in her opinion. Her prejudice against him exceeds his personality, as he became a prosecutor at 17 (she became one at 22) and he is the brother of Kristoph (which probably needs no explanation).
Background:
She comes from a very (inexplicably) rich family. Her mother was a successful fashion designer, her father a very well-known detective. Due to unknown circumstances, her father was forced to take early retirement, and so he took his family to Europe. Wednesday lived through most of her childhood moving from country to country wherever her father owned homes (of which he had many), including America, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, as well as the Republic of Borginia and the Principality of Cohdopia. She discovered that she inherited not her mother’s creativity but her father’s sense of justice, and attended vocational school in Germany, training to become a lawyer. When she was 16, she decided to go to America to finish school and take the bar exam. However, she was swept up in the murder of her friend, and was even accused of the murder herself. With Phoenix Wright as her representation, she was proven innocent.
Unfortunately for her, even though she was proven to be innocent her school still expelled her. She had to start the year over, and she was unable to take the bar exam when she had originally planned.
With nowhere else to go (without returning home), she implored Edgeworth to let her have a job as his secretary (all the while secretly hoping to get close to Franziska). He refused at first, of course, but she persisted, showing up at his office every afternoon after school. After about two weeks, he pensively gave her a job. She worked for him as his secretary part-time while she was in school and full-time when she was out. She didn’t take the bar exam until just before AJ.
Other details:
Wednesday exists mostly in the AJ timeline. Edgeworth is 33.
Her father was part of Alba’s organization, but he quit when he thought he was about to be found out. Since he was no longer an active member of the smuggling ring, his name never came up in Edgeworth’s investigations (assuming that is what Edgeworth was doing during the seven years between AAI and AJ), and since he quit before Wednesday was born, she knows nothing about it.
She has an odd prejudice against defense attorneys, as she knows them to be murderous and corrupt (Phoenix, Kristoph, Calisto). Conversely, she has a deluded image of prosecutors based off of her interactions with Edgeworth and Franziska and never acknowledges the fact that prosecutors can be just as corrupt as anyone (Godot, Jacques, Manfred).
Other OTHER things:
If you felt particularly generous, I would like art of her and Edgeworth, probably sitting together drinking tea and discussing the finer points of law. Not romantic.
Or or or, you could draw her being annoyed with Klavier because he's an obnoxious fop (in her opinion). Though I actually am leaning more toward them being a couple, so couple-y art of them would be okay too :3
Turnabout Setup is the introduction of my character into the PW world. Turnabout Slumber Party is the case in which Wednesday is accused of murdering her friend.
And A Turnabout, of Sorts is my Court Records OC Contest entry!
Just in case you feel like reading some fanfiction.
