History: link
Appearance: here
Personality:
At the age of thirteen, Franziska von Karma has yet to become a prosecutor. Taken from her canon the summer before she takes her bar exam, she has yet to be disillusioned by the realities of law, the justice system and her family. She wholeheartedly believes in their family creed: "to be perfect in every way", and no one is more perfect than her own father: Manfred von Karma. Though she lived most of her life in Germany and her father practices law in the United States, her relationship with him is one of hero worship and dependence. In her own words, her father is the "anchor of her life" and without him, she wouldn't know where to go. Her father provides her with anything she could ever want, and in turn she made it her life's goal to be a prosecutor just like him... and her so-called little brother.

Overall, Franziska is a little girl with a superiority complex. She graduated university earlier than everyone else. She's about to get that job that makes her better than everyone else. She's from a prestigious family, with good breeding and good manners (in her opinion). As far as she's concerned, she's better than you and whatever you may come to be. That is why she's a bratty and bossy child.. She orders grown men around like she's their boss because in her mind, she already is. She hits them with her crop because they're fools and they deserve the punishment. (Or reward, depending on how close to a smile their winces of pain look like.) And does her father let her act like this? Yes, pretty much. Manfred isn't a very hands-on parent.

But there's one person who could make Franziska feel inferior, and that's Miles Edgeworth, who her father took under his wing when she was two. Franziska had to work hard to graduate at the age of thirteen. Edgeworth took to Manfred's teachings quicker than she did. Edgeworth works with Manfred in the United States. She was left behind in Germany. He's her adopted little brother (even if he's older and he's not really adopted) yet he's shaping up to be a better son to her father. She has a vicious competitive streak that gets worse when he's around, as she constantly makes contests out of things with the prize being who's more deserving to inherit the von Karma name. While she might claim to not like him, they do care for each other, even if their conversations are usually condescending in nature. Their relationship was described by a random guard to be a dysfucntional little sister-big brother relationship, to which Franziska's main objection was on who happens to be the younger sibling.

Despite her attachments to her family, she was raised away from them. And she doesn't have many friends her age, as one would expect of someone who graduated university at the age of thirteen. She speaks like an adult but has the temper of a brat. And she hates being treated as a child. She's not entirely unkind. Most of the time she believes that she's doing the right thing. And she does show some empathy when Kay Faraday's father dies. But she has a long way to go in terms of maturity, and the harder she tries, the more frustrated and childish she becomes.

Give her six more years and she'll grow up to be that whip-toting, revenge-seeking, spiky-haired-attorney-chasing we know today.
Abilities: squishy human girl with no supernatural abilities whatsoever

SAMPLES
First Person:

What foolish manner of foolishness is this?!

First you abduct me, then you provide me with this hovel and now you would like me to believe that another man is my father? This man can't even compare to Papa! That would be akin to comparing a foolish ant to a planet! A mere mortal to a god! A vending machine bought pastry with the finest cakes in Germany! My Papa is a great man, a noble man, a man with strength [ she swings a very supple stick ] and conviction [ and again ]! And when he finds out, because he will find out, your boots better be big enough to hide in because there shall be no escape.

[ Clearing her throat, because that is what grown-ups do. ]

Nevertheless [ she wags her finger condescendingly at the screen ], this fool of a lessor need not wait for my Papa's wrath. I, Franziska von Karma, prodigy, shall deliver it with full force. I may not be a prosecutor yet, but that doesn't mean that I would let a foolish criminal run without impunity. Just you wait. Justice will be served.

Third Person:

She never had to go grocery shopping before. But here she is, with a basket full of groceries (milk, nutritious cookies, nutritious pastries and other essentials), standing in front of the cereal shelf. She grabbed one box of cornflakes, turns it around to read its nutritional facts and squints. It's healthy, that much she can admit, but regular cornflakes taste bland. She grabs another box, one with raisins and almonds in it, but it was a cheap brand. Who knows what those inferior ingredients could do to her health?

She looks up and finds a box of quality cereal on the top shelf. And it has honey clusters. Honey clusters! Those are healthy and go great with milk. She shoves her boxes back on the shelf and reaches up to get the expensive one. She can't. She's too short. She scowls and tries again. Nope, that half-second wait did not miraculously make her taller. She jumps. Still no dice.

Letting out a slightly undignified grunt of frustration, she kicks the shelf.
