SO HEY Athena is has superhuman perception of emotion. Essential she can "hear" people's hearts- or read their emotions through the sound of their voice. This is the most pronounced when people are experiencing conflicting/contradictory emotions. Mostly this just manifests to her as "noise" which she can help sort out with the help of her Magical AI Necklace (ACE ATTORNEY IS A GAME ABOUT LAWYERS MUCH LIKE PRINCE OF TENNIS IS ABOUT TENNIS). This here post is to opt into two things and it also fails in canon a lot for no real reason so ehn. Playing fast and loose.


THING ONE: IS YOUR EMOTIONS WEIRD People who's emotions are in a huge state of flux or you don't have real human feelings or assorted other things. She probably won't be able to like- actually put the pieces together, but if you want her to sense something ~weird~ about your feels she can.


THING TWO: DO YOU WANT A MAGICAL GIRL THERAPY SESSION so her magical AI necklace thing can help her sort out the noise she's hearing- which also means helping people put their confused emotions back in order. In canon it's useful for people having a hard time remembering traumatic events, people lying to themselves SO ON. If you would like Athena to come badger you and help u sort ur heart I would love to have some folks to do that for.


BONUS THING THREE ARE YOU A ROBOT Athena wants more robot friends. :3c Marine megafauna friends are also acceptable.

OK FIRST OF ALL IF YOU HAVE EVER ENJOYED A PHOENIX WRIGHT GAME EVER AND YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A 3DS YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD DUAL DESTINIES RIGHT MEOW. I would argue that it is the strongest installment of the entire series.

That said! I know there are folks who haven't gotten to it yet, and wish to remain PURE AS THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS OF JAPAFORNIA. Athena won't be going into spoilery territory with anyone but canon mates and people who really reeeally push and I'll warn before it goes there, but if you'd rather not play with Athena at all, here is your opt out post!

Eh, possibly spoilers with canon mates WHO CAN SAY IT IS ACE ATTORNEY.
