Danganronpa R: Beyond Hope and The Shadow of Despair [DISCONTINUED]

Raven Right Redesign

OG Post Date: 12/17/21
When Redesigning her, I wanted to lean a bit more into the punk aesthetic she had but also keep some semblance of suit and tie sorta thing  with her outfit. She's supposed to a lawyer after all. I fixed her hair so that it wasn't just a blob. I took some inspiration from Ryoko from Kill La Kill and made her hair sharper. I also gave her lipstick cuz why not?

Fun Fact(s): Her name is a not so subtle reference to Phoenix Wright. Her first name, Raven, other than pointing to the bird can symbolize ill omen's and loss which is inevitable for (to be a little dramatic) villains who enter in court. Similar to Phoenix Wright, she values serving Justice and protecting the innocent more than winning. They could also represent prophecy and insight. They can also serve as guides that connect the spiritual and physical world which actually fits with Feys and other Spirit Mediums in the Ace Attorney Series. Right (other than symbolizing morally good, justified, or acceptable) can also represent blessing and mercy. A little off topic but did you know that though some symbolize the "left" as sinister or evil it could also represent the hand of the king and represents justice as the right could only symbolize blessing and mercy? Anyways, one last little fun fact, in court, she is often partnered with a spirit medium she met that is a not so subtle reference to the Maya Fay. I had thought about having them being a survivor for chapter 5's other killing game but he ended up not making it in. He probably would've not only be like Maya but also like Shin in the game so maybe she may be annoyed by Shin but also find him a nice little bit of familiarity to the average court room.

Background Synopsis: From a young age, she's always had a love for punk rock music and the punk culture in general. To her, they were her heroes, that's unfortunate because she actually comes from a long line of lawyers. She never really understood why people would want to become such a thing so she ultimately tried picking up music. One day, someone from her middle school stole everyone's lunch money and she was suspect number 1. (If you've played any Phoenix Wright, you should know where this was going) During a "class trial" no one gave her a chance to speak, that was until someone stood up for her. They become her attorney of sorts and then that's when she understood the importance of attorneys. She tried to juggle what she wanted to be (be a punk musician) with being an attorney. Unfortunately, she couldn't be both so she made a sacrifice. She decided to become an attorney and protect the innocent. Personality wise: I guess she could sometimes be a bit standoffish but she is ultimately a kind person who genuinely wants to help people. (Think of Reko from YTTD)
