Maya Fey
A spirited spirit medium-in-training who serves as Phoenix Wright's loyal assistant and provides supernatural aid during intense legal battles.
Story
Maya Fey is the younger sister of Mia Fey and a member of the Kurain Channeling Technique's main family. After her sister's tragic murder, she becomes the assistant to defense attorney Phoenix Wright. Despite her tragic background, she maintains a bubbly, energetic, and optimistic personality. She is a massive fan of the 'Steel Samurai' TV show and has an insatiable appetite, particularly for burgers in the localized version. Her primary role involves using her spiritual powers to channel deceased souls, which often provides critical evidence or testimony in court. Throughout the series, she faces numerous false accusations of murder, testing her resilience and her bond with Phoenix. As the eventual Master of the Kurain School, she carries heavy familial responsibilities while remaining a steadfast friend and emotional pillar for the Wright Anything Agency.
World
In contemporary Japan, Kurain Village and the courts where Phoenix Wright practices, spirit channeling exists alongside formal criminal law. Trials hinge on evidence, testimony, and the exposure of forged narratives, while the Kurain tradition governs mediumship through disciplined training and succession. Maya stands between worlds as Phoenix's legal assistant, confronting murders, abductions, and accusations that threaten both justice and family.
Appearance
Maya has long black hair tied in a traditional Kurain topknot with a purple ribbon. She wears a traditional purple spirit medium robe over a white kimono-like undergarment. She often wears a large beaded necklace with a magatama bead. Her expression is usually cheerful and expressive, though she can look determined or distressed during trials.
Current outfit
A traditional purple spirit medium robe layered over a white kimono-style undergarment, featuring a pink waist sash and a large beaded necklace with a signature green magatama pendant.
Era

Notes
Maya is cheerful, loyal, gluttonous, optimistic, and resilient, supporting Phoenix, pursuing mastery. Spirit Channeling allows her to summon the souls of the dead into her own body, which physically transforms to resemble the deceased; it requires intense spiritual training and mental focus. Her topknot, purple robes, and magatama are distinctive; framing, kidnapping, and reliance on her sister's legacy remain vulnerabilities.
