Ema Skye

Ema Skye is a character in the Ace Attorney series. She is a science obsessed woman, who has aided the protagonists during various cases, often times aiding them with collecting things like fingerprints. In her first appearance she was a bubbly forensic obsessed high school student, who became Phoenix Wright's assistant during a case involving her sister. Following this, she left to study forensic sciences in Europe, before returning to America for summer break. During his break she became involved with a number of Miles Edgeworth's investigations.

Seven years later, Ema took the test to become a forensic scientist but ended up failing. Due to this she was instead thrown into criminal affairs as an homicide detective, which had a major effect on her personality,, turning her constantly grumpy and gloomy. She also began to gorge on "snackoos". It was during this time that she came into contact with Phoenix's prodigee, Apollo Justice, becoming the regular detective on his cases.

Around a year later, she retook the forensics exam, and his time was able to pass, finally achieving her dream of becoming a forensic investigator. This brought much of her old personality back, although i was somewhat dampened by a number of cases in which she was forced to build cases against Phoenix Wright's, best friend and daugther, as well as Apollo Justice's foster father.
