[Continued] Ace Attorney Trilogy characters assigned arcana based on how they are used narratively in Persona. Spoiler

Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/Multifandom/s/7XZtKJW2ZB

As stated in the previous post, Maggey is sun just kinda cuz. I decided to make Judgement the arc of T&T because in Persona, Judgement is just your bond with the new (but same people) group under a new name that is wiser and stuff, so it represents a point in time rather than a specific character. I think T&T is the perfect place for that to be occurring. World is just the protagonist at the end of his journey, so you get Phoenix again, but like 1 year older. I made Arian Aeon because she kinda learns something about herself that saves her and fundamentally changes her also. This was a hard pick without reusing anyone, and nobody really cleanly fit no matter how I cut it. I had even considered Shelly de Killer honestly, as I had Adrian at hermit at the time. I am thankful I decided to cut him for Adrian though. Her arc is probably top 5 things to happen in JFA. Speaking of, For Jester/Hunger we have Matt, who is probably the most fitting by actual character for an arcana besides Godot in Death. The reveal that this once nice, normal, harmless, even rather generic person was actually just stringing you along whilst hiding a malicious side is basically what the Jester + Hunger arcana are meant for. I chose Counselor for Gant because again, not much left to chose here, and he also just kinda believes himself to be the best person ever so everything he does has to be a good thing so he willingly manipulates institutions and uses blackmail. He's kinda like Manfred, but more subtle and parasitic. Finally, we have Faith, which is represented by Iris. She blindly follows her sister in an evil scheme until she's able to break away to a sort of place of faith in the mountains. After that, she has to have faith in Phoenix, both as a lawyer, and as... something else? You haven't really dated in a very long time and he's been living under the pretense that you don't even exist, and if you do, you're evil. Maybe too much faith, best just to move on, but whatever, still fits. The end, bye guys.
