I think we've all asked ourselves at least once who Edgeworth's mother is (or, depending on the theory, was), because we don't get any indication from the games that she even existed. Gregory was the only family Miles really had, and thus it's logical to assume that he was either taken from his mother, or his mom was either dead/missing/otherwise incapacitated (persistent vegetative state, prison, psychiatric hospital, etc) or Gregory just budded.

My theory is that Edgeworth's mother is, in actual fact, Misty Fey.

Physical resemblance aside, I believe an argument can be made. Whether or not Edgey was an illegitimate child is up to debate, but it was possible for Gregory to have some sort of relationship with Misty. Given that the Kurain Channelling Technique is an ability present only in Fey women and the lack of room for men in the family's tradition, it's not unlikely that Gregory left Misty and took Miles with him away from Kurain, especially if he knew what happened with Morgan's husband.

The possibility that Gregory and Misty had some sort of connection is made more likely when we consider Misty's involvement in DL-6. Having a spirit medium aide a murder investigation was a first, and it carried with it the enormous risk of ruining the reputation of both the police department and the Kurain Channelling Technique. What reason could Misty have to get involved if she wasn't somehow connected to the case (ie the victim)?

My final point is on the Magatama. Phoenix proves in 3-3 that it isn't necessary to have the Magatama on one's person to see Psyche-Locks, and yet no one else seems to be able to do this when in proximity to the Magatama. This could mean that only people with spiritual powers or, in Phoenix's case, people who believed in the Kurain Technique, could use the Magatama. Edgeworth, despite quite vehemently denying the dependability or even the existence of spiritualists, is able to use the Magatama and see 'Psycholocks', as we learn in 3-5. The possibility that arises from this situation is that, while Fey men cannot channel spirits, they may not entirely exempt from inheriting spiritual powers (if Edgeworth is in fact a Fey).

Marshmello wrote:
In all of its mystical coolness, the Magatama can somehow 'sense' its owner. Maya first owned it, but since it wasn't charged it didn't react to her. Pearl charged it and gave it to Phoenix, so he became the Magatama's 'owner' and was able to use its power. In 3-5, Phoenix gave it to Edgeworth, making Edgeworth the 'owner' and he was able to use it until he returned it.

That being said, my old Magatama theory could still hold: To be the Magatama's 'owner' one must either believe in the Kurain Channelling Technique or be of Fey blood. Edgeworth clearly does not meet the first requirement, so if we pretend enough, he must meet the second.


This, of course, destroys any possible relationships between Edgeworth and any of the Feys (and makes my old signature 10x more disturbing). It's likely that Maya wouldn't know that she's related to Edgeworth given the age difference, but one of the snags in my theory is that Mia probably would have known that she had a brother, but failed to recognize him or even his name in 3-4. Mia's three years Edgeworth's elder, and if we hold that Gregory spirited Miles away after Morgan's husband left Kurain, Miles would have been around three and Mia six when he left. This is simply playing devil's advocate of course: It's entirely possible that Miles was taken from Kurain before the incident with Morgan's husband, when Mia was at an age young enough not to remember him, or to interpret any memories of him as merely being a childhood playmate.

This is just a theory, but you never know.

Personally I think this a really good theory on Edgeworth's mother. Maya even tells us that her dad /died/ a long time ago when she was young. DL-6 happened when she was young ;D!~ On the spirit medium in DL-6 subject- Misty and Kurain spirit mediums have been trailed by the government for a long time (according to Godot in 3-5). So whose to say if it had anything to do with Gregory Edgeworth's death or not?

As for the Psycho-Locks- Phoenix might have been able to see them even when his magatama was missing because Maya might have been around. As for Edgeworth: He had the actual Magatama with him. Whose to say that anyone, Phoenix or not, can see Psycho-Locks if they have a Magatama on them.

Nevertheless a good theory. I definitely thought of the idea of Misty being Edgey's mom before ;3

Why would Edgey tell Polly about his mom when he probably doesn't even /know/ Polly D:? Phoenix or maybe a member of the Fey family (although Phoenix is a better bet) would get this information but I don't think Edgey would have a good reason to tell this to anyone unless there's a murder case or something.

Plus Edgeworth probably doesn't even know much about his mother; according to the game he was raised in a single family by his father. We don't know if the mom is dead or not.

This has been done before here. It's an interesting theory, but if it were actually true, I'd imagine it would have been revealed some time in the first three games. There wouldn't be much point in keeping it a secret.
Spoiler: T&T
Besides, did Misty just forget that she had a son? She kept a picture to remind herself of her daughters, so why wouldn't she be carrying something to remind her of her son? It wouldn't have to be that ending picture, but I would think there would still be something with her when she died that would reference Edgeworth.

Well, one of the points raised above was Edgeworth and Gregory going away from Kurain. Not specified when, it could have been quite early, when Edgeworth was a mere baby, even. If that was the case, wouldn't it be also fair for her not to have a picture of him? Since that picture of her two daughters was a picture of them while they were still growing up. If Edgeworth had been taken beforehand, it would just be logical for her not to have a picture of him at all.

And then the question of, "Even if Edgeworth was with Gregory, wouldn't she have something like an obligatory picture?". In a sense, if it were normal circumstance, probably so. But with this theory, it somewhat sounds as if Gregory fled Kurain with Edgeworth. If this was the case, then it sounds a bit like Gregory would rather hide his son from the mother and vice-versa. I don't think he'd willingly hand her a picture of his son at age 6 or something to Misty if and when she came to their doorstep.

But then again, there is no solid fact to back this up in the game. As for the Capcom would have no reason to hide this, you never know. Hahaha.

Spoiler: AA, T&T
I don't know about you, but my parents and the parents of all my friend have pictures of their children from birth through their current age. I would imagine that there would have been plenty of pictures taken right off the bat as is pretty usual with babies, so unless Gregory snatched Miles out of his mother's arms right after the birth which I don't picture him doing with what we know about his personality or even having a reason to do, I would assume there would be at least one picture taken of her newborn son. Also, the theory at the top puts Miles age at three. By three, Misty should have some pictures of her son. Besides, the item she keeps with her doesn't have to be a picture. Also recall that Gregory was a well-known defense attorney who I assume took some reasonably high profile cases if he ended up going up against Von Karma and was apparently very well known from what we are told in the game. It certainly doesn't sound like he was hiding from Misty. Also, if we continue to follow the theory in the first post, Misty knew Gregory was her son's father which is why she agreed to channel him, which certainly doesn't make it sound like Gregory was hiding from her. On another note, why would he hide from Misty or never let him see his mother? I can understand him wanting to take his son away from Kurain, but I can't see any reason for him to cut off all contact with his son's mother.

True, but taking into consideration Kurain's location and social status, it's not exactly the most urban place you can go to. Kurain is a very rural area, and given their tradition, I would assume instead of a doctor traveling from the city to Kurain taking more than an hour's worth of train ride, a midwife from Kurain would do. Not only would it waste less time, but why opt for a doctor when you have a trained Kurain midwife at hand? Now, the main point of this is when you're born in the city, everyone has a camera. If something as important as birth were to happen, of course your parents and relatives would take a snapshot while you were in the arms of your mother. But Gyakuten Saiban takes ruralism to an extreme, making Kurain, from which I can see, a village wherein only a few people know or even have access to technology.

If it were a regular scenario in real life, you'd have your aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, etc. be at your waiting room, ready to snap photos at the new addition to the family, but in this case, we'd have a few Feys waiting for Misty's son, no camera in hand, simply because Kurain is Kurain.

Spoiler: Trials and Tribulations
But then again, how could Misty have taken the picture of Mia and Maya if she had no camera?


Who's to say that she didn't get that camera after Miles was taken away from Kurain?
Just as I said, this theory's a very wobbly subject with most of it depending on "what ifs" because we have no solid evidence to back it up.

Also, I think you misunderstood what I meant about Gregory hiding his son from the mother. I didn't mean Gregory himself hid from the world, per say. If Misty came to the Edgeworth household, demanding for at least a bit of time with her son, wouldn't it be possible he just turned her away and simply said Miles wasn't home? Rather far-fetched given Gregory's attitude but with the very little detail we know about him, you just never know xD

Oops :bellboy: I searched this before posting, honest. I couldn't find any repeats. I'll be more careful next time.

Mia, I do concede that this is all just a theory. Capcom probably never came up for a mother for Edgeworth because she would never fit into the story, so just left it up to the fan's imaginations. The "Misty is Edgey's mom" theory is entirely based on conjecture, but it does seem to fit the bill.

Your argument for it not being possible seems to be mainly based on the fact that mini-Miles wasn't present in her photograph. The games don't give us a very good indication of Misty's personality; it isn't that far-fetched that she had some sort of resentment toward Gregory and Miles, or that she just plain didn't care about him. Or simply that she wasn't a creepy stalker who followed Miles and co around taking pictures.

This never actually occured to me, but it seems plausible.

Spoiler: the last case in 3
If it wasn't possible, then why the hell would Edgey fly all the way out from wherever he was in Europe to help the case with Elise Deauxineum? (sp?) Elise = Misty, as we all know.


I don't remember all the details, to the case, so it could have been explained, and I must have forgotten.

:yuusaku: Edgey was duped into coming home by Larry, who was like "OMFG, Edgey! Nick's on his deathbed! Come quick!" It had nothing to do with Misty being his mom, and, keeping with the theory, he probably didn't know that she was his mother anyway.

Spoiler: 3-5
There were only like three people who actually knew that Misty = Elise, Edgeworth not being one of them. Godot knew because the police had been keeping tabs on her, but the only reason he went looking for her was because of his debt to Mia. Even if Edgeworth knew about those tabs, he wouldn't have a reason to look her up (if we hold that Edgeworth doesn't know who his mother is) unless he wanted to get some answers from her about DL-6.


And just to append to what I said in my last post:

Or she simply could have respected Gregory's decision to leave Kurain and not further expose Miles to the power complex of the Fey family (and by extension, the stigma of being born male), and decided that it was best if she just wasn't a part of his life.

1. DL-6 happened AFTER Miles was born. Misty would have probably have taken him in at some point, if she was Mommy

2. Let's pretend for a moment that he is her son. Ok, if they ran away, wouldn't you think the village would banish them? Don't you think they'd try to forget about those two? This could explain the no photo

Misty was busy fleeing in shame after DL-6. The simple explanation is that her not adopting Miles is no different from her not staying at Kurain to raise Mia and Maya. Like I said before, for one reason or another she probably didn't want Miles in her life (or vice versa).

Except for the fact that Morgan outright hates her little sister Misty ]:

Spoiler: JFA,T&T
She helped a vengeful nurse kill Maya's first channeling client and then tired to pin the blame on Maya so that Maya would go to jail and Pearl would be the new leader.
Then in 3-5 she attempted to get her own daughter to channel Dahlia, her demonic dead daughter, so that Dahlia could kill Maya and at the same time hurt the spirit of Mia (who was also Morgan's niece). Maya didn't die but Morgan's actions caused Misty, her own sister to die.

If she heard of the news in prison she wouldn't feel sorry for the fact that her actions got her sister killed. Morgan would be more pissed that Maya didn't die and Pearl didn't get to be leader.


In short: Morgan doesn't care about /anyone/ but Pearl, and that is that. Albeit Pearl was only born 8 years after DL-6 that doesn't mean Morgan has any reason to take in Edgeworth. And don't compare this to Maya when she left in 1-4 and went home to Kurain where she was accepted. She's the future leader of Kurain so of course Morgan (as a member of the branch family) is pretty much forced/obligated to take care of her.

If Edgeworth was born a Fey then he could never be the leader because Fey men are not born with spiritual powers.

Listen to the words you just uttered... I believe a few posts above stated that Gregory found out about Morgan's husband and his intentions. This is probably why he did it, he didn't want Miles to be corrupted or such.

Plausible, as traits are..pretty plausible. It'll be really idiotic to show a table, as I have some of the craziest speculations, but yeah.

Anyways, good theory.

Although how can Mia and Pearl have brown hair if both of the parents had black hair. The dominant gene would be black hair.

Only contradiction I can find.

They're called recessive genes. If black hair was the dominant gene, then both Misty and Gregory could have had a recessive gene for brown hair. If Mia and Maya both got all brown haired genes, they would have had brown hair. Simple, ja?

Gah! Forgot about that.

That 10ish hour car drive from San Fransisco to home really messed me up.

Which also reminds me, Pearl was never with Greg to begin with <.<

But wouldn't Misty, Mia, and Maya have the male's last name, Edgeworth?

'Tis perfectly alright. Just thought I'd protect Mellow's perfectly legit and quite possible point.

Now, to show you how they wouldn't all be Edgeworths. My mother didn't take my father's last name when she married. Now, since I'm my father's daughter, of course I took his name. But think. Once Gregory left, do you think Misty would have wanted her daughters to keep his name? No. It would lead back to Gregory, and Misty probably either didn't want him anymore or respected his wishes.

That's my favorite theory thus far.

Actually, joking aside, I do see some physical resemblance between Misty Fey and Miles Edgeworth, if only because they have similar hair color. However, I cannot feasibly imagine Misty actually being Edgeworth's mother, if only because of all the complications it would entail. That's a bit contradictory, though, considering Phoenix Wright is loaded with improbabilities and complicated plots.

Case in point: CORPSE PENDULUM.


But regardless, I have to admit that you've made some really, really good points. And I also have to admit that I've been really curious about what happened to Edgeworth's mother, but I always assumed that she had passed away either during or shortly after Edgeworth's birth. The fun thing about speculation is that whenever there's a loose end, you can always try to tie it back up again.

Here's something possible.

When Edgey was trapped in the elevator, he mentioned he had amnesia. He could have forgotten about Misty and friends there along with Greg.

Just posting so others can post ^_^.

It's indeed a very interesting theory. I doubt Capcom would have waited to tell us this, though, if it's true. So while it's most likely not canon, it would make a very interesting side story...

I remember that before I played Apollo Justice all the way through, I had this dream where I imagined that Apollo and Miles were cousins :yuusaku: I explained it by thinking that Apollo's father was brothers with Miles's mother.

Wait, here's another piece of "evidence": Miles's name starts with an 'M'! It seemed traditional for all Fey members (except Pearl... and others... dang) to have their names start with 'M', especially Misty's kids; Maya and Mia. What if...!? :beef:

The only fey members I know who don't start with an M are Pearl and Ami. (And maybe Greg)

Everybody else (Morgan, Mia, Misty, Maya, and maybe Miles) has an M.

M ish teh dominant gene.

Don't forget Iris and Dahlia. Then again, for all we know, Iris's real name could start with a M.

Just like the last time someone brought this up in a post, I support this theory 100%.

And another comment on those who question why, if she was his mother, Misty didn't take Miles after Greg's death - not only was Misty pretty much the laughingstock of the trial, but I tend to doubt VK would have let her. He wanted Miles after all as part of his plan, and seeing as he was in a very powerful position he could have overriden any of her attempts to take him.

In the first post I mentioned briefly that it's in the air whether or not Miles was an illegitimate child. Misty and Gregory might not have been married, and Gregory might not have been the father of both Mia and Maya.

That was one of the obstacles I met when I first formulated this theory a while ago. Just looking at their profile pictures, it's really difficult to imagine Edgey not budding from Gregory, because they look so damn similar. And you can't compare the pictures of Edgeworth and Misty without going, "Oh, it's the hair." I found a few other physical similarities, but since I'm lazy, I'll just post a side-by-side comparison using some of the pictures I worked with:

The main site is weird and tends to make hotlinked images disappear, but I can't find many good ones on Photobucket. I'll keep looking, in case some of these images don't work.

:edgy: Great observation! I'd totally forgotten about that, but it does give us more leeway.

I was originally going to put this with the evidence in the OP, but I couldn't decide if it was relevant or not.

If we consider Misty's naming convention, Mia (Me-yuh) and Maya (My-yuh) sound similar. Edgeworth being older than Maya, he would have been named before Maya and perhaps used her naming convention, being that his first name is Miles (My-yuhls). At a stretch, Miles = Maya.

I agree. Misty's pretty cool, but she could never stand up to von Karma. She would get taser'd if she tried to stop him.

What I find interesting, lol is that he got pretty tight with :franny: and looked up to :karma:.

Why, IDK. Wouldn't little :edgy: be smart enough to see what was going on? I'm surprised it didn't seem all that suspicious to him that :karma: wanted :edgy: so bad. Or maybe not, since at that time the whole DL-6 event was shrouded in mystery. He didn't know what truely went on himself until that fateful trial. I like to confuse myself, if you can't tell already.

And just curious - what caused :edgy: to move back to 'america' or 'japan'? (wherever the story takes place.)

So how do the Japanese names compare? (If there's already similarity between Mia and Maya's, that is... Don't remember offhand)

You sort of answered your own question. Miles looked up to von Karma, as a teacher and a mentor, and apparently thought very highly of him. He was also about 10 when von Karma 'adopted' him, which is still quite an impressionable age. Note how in 1-4 Edgeworth spoke of Karma's tactics and how ruthless he was without outrightly disapproving of his mentor's behaviour.

And just to make this relevant to the thread: Perhaps the reason 'Misty the Spy' didn't adopt Miles after DL-6 was because she saw how much awe von Karma inspired in her son, and assumed that he would be in good hands.

But surely Misty had heard from Greg about the rumors surrounding VK's perfect record? Even without knowing that VK was a murderer, I'm not sure if I'd want him raising my son. Especially if it was well-known how he felt about defense attorneys...

Keeping with the theory, Gregory and Misty probably didn't have a lot of contact (and if they did it probably wouldn't be full of legal gossip). Also keep in mind that there are attorneys, and then there are civilians. While von Karma may have been a famous prosecutor, he probably wasn't so well-known amongst the general public (Misty is even less than the general public, likely, because of her home's remote location). Add to that that von Karma is also German, so he wouldn't be as recognizable in the States anyway.
