Love! Such a beautiful thing - the heart pumping beautiful blood quicker and quicker, filling your cheeks, reddening your whole body, just waiting to be spilled...
It's like hot coffee. It burns, but it energizes, and keeps you running through the night. It comes in different intensities, and in a proper love the blood is brewed and stewed until you can't get enough - you need to see your love, you need to kill something, anything like that. You don't know how you fell for your love - it seems like a fated match, though, one fit for both of you, wherein you're both as cute as dead puppies and as passionate as cursed wolves.
Your love? It's Godot, of course!

You're psychic. Have you taken the dimensional scream ability from Team Pokepals? Because every night, with great care, you can emit a loud, piercing shriek of "hey, hey! in the form of a question: this goes up the heavens, and you get a firm, authoritative answer. Whatever deity you pray to is somehow able to translate this into a yes or no question, which they respond to gladly and truthfully.
(I tried so hard with everyone else's. But how am I supposed to explain this?!)

The life of an athlete is very fragile. Any injury, any illness, could result in something horrible: an injury that would require surgery, recovery, and loss of precious practicing time. But you never falter! You practice daily and with unmatched zeal, and that's why you're going to be an Olympic athlete, both literally and figuratively.
You have, however, learned to be careful. A healthy diet and exercise grant you an amazingly strong immune system, but you have to know how to care for your body if it turns out you need more than just that. When you were younger, you learned dozens of first-aid techniques, and while you mostly applied them to yourself, you know they can used on others now as well. Every night, you may visit someone and care for them, patching up their wounds and even saving their life if necessary. You're very talented. But beware: your care isn't professional, and if combined with other healing attempts, your patient will die.

"Twas a pleasure to beat you!"
Goojitsu is a powerful martial art, and you've became an expert in it. Perhaps this is a reflection of your character, because your body certainly isn't: you're completely bloodthirsty and love to fight. Although you figure you're a force of good, your morals align you to the cause most fun. So, when you learned that a new crime family was in town, you didn't know or care who they were, and you decided to support them no matter what, because stirring up trouble and fights was something you lived for.
During the day, you can choose to challenge someone to a fight, of which you'll most certainly win; you're the original clay, after all! However, your victory will be short-lived, and you know it - the people around here just can't stand duels, and don't appreciate murderers too much. As such, you will be killed afterward, and their day will continue on.

Pokemon are well-known as resilient creatures. Even sunflora, evolving from sunkern as the weakest of the weak, are strong and resilient, and known for growth in the condition of hardship. The power of synthesis and growth, the steadiness of ingrain, not to mention the less acceptable methods of leeching health from others, all add up to a very sturdy character. Your stalwart and unflinching optimism help even more.
These combined after an attack help keep you alive. Unfortunately, you can't save yourself in this unnatural environment - there isn't enough sun, dirt, and greenery to fuel you here. But you can hold on. If you are killed by any violent method, you can hang on until nightfall the next day, soaking up the warmth of the sun in attempt to heal - you will receive a message if you are hit.

Wow! An ex-ace attorney accused of murder! How big of a framing is that?!
... No framing at all, actually. You've been carrying on your business for a long time - bad business practices, bribes, blackmail, drugs... the general stuff. Though for the longest time, it was bloodless! You never had to kill anyone! You let your clients do that, and then you defended them.
This went on for a long time. But eventually, something happened that you needed to take care of yourself. The falsified evidence you presented was not meant to be found out: it was completely intentional. Like most of your evidence, it came completely from you, created to exonerate criminals you created. When you went to university, you learned to defend your clients legally and to the best of the law: however, it was not meant to clear the guilty, so you furthered your education when necessary.
One day, however, investigation went too far. They revoked your attorney's badge, and started to dig - fearing what they'd find buried, you decided to nip the case in the bud, and killed the chief detective on the case. Of course, that wasn't even the end of it... as it became increasingly obvious you were going to trial, you approached your protege Apollo Justice, asking - begging, pleading - for help. He agreed, of course; you were his teacher! You would never use falsified evidence or commit murder, or so he thought.
You faked evidence for this trial, too, out of desperation. It was your only choice, and when it was found out, you became increasingly panicked. You admitted your guilt to Apollo Justice, and, shocked - he agreed to do whatever you said. So you two ended the case with another murder - securing a scapegoat in the process - and, free, you went back to what you knew best.
More crime and murder. More mafia.
(The RNG worked pretty well with this mafia pairing?)

Well, you're no longer a beacon of justice, are you! In fact, a nefarious criminal is about the opposite of what you expected when you became an ace attorney... how did this begin?
Well, it all started when you got onto the case of a Mr. Phoenix Wright. He was, for a long time, your teacher in all things legal - until he got in trouble with the law itself. Before you even knew it, he was stripped of his attorney's badge and came to you asking for help. He was accused of murder!
You agreed to help him, of course. You supported him throughout the trial, no matter what anyone else said. You cleared him of his crime with no effort at all, but couldn't get his badge restored. You thought that was all, paying a debt to a former teacher and dear friend, but in the end...
You came back to trial. The evidence was falsified. What happened? Everything was going against you, and opposing evidence was piling up. Eventually, you came to an awful conclusion... Phoenix Wright had committed a murder. You approached him about this, and asked him; he was innocent, right?
... It turns out he wasn't. And he was trapped, so the only choice was for him to kill again. You didn't even ask why - you had to follow him, now, and help him with whatever he's doing. You two are a pair now, after all. So if he gets hurt, you can help.
(Wow, perfect coincidence to roll you and hopeandjoy!)

Oh, what it's like to be in love! ... How was it, actually. How're things with Mia Fey?
The point is, you've already been through one tragic love story. Another one could kill you, and yet you fall in love again, with a wonderful, animal-loving man. His name is Henry, and you overlook all his faults - even the larger ones, like a disturbing love of battle and blood.
The thing is, losing him would destroy you. You don't think you could live without him...

Gimme a 8r8k! You're always being typecast as so evil! And may8e em8racing the 8adness is enjoyable, but it gets old after a while. So, a roll of the Flourite Octet, go god tier, and you have your ability to control luck and your own health. What do you do with it?
Try preventing catastrophe, of course. Use your Light powers and you find that a murderer will never even touch your target. But combine it with another person trying to heal, and you just get a case of 8ad luck...

Yawn...
You're always so sleepy! It seems like you slip off into unconsciousness at the most inconvenient times. Yet there is one advantage to this: you're psychic. (Kidding, just kidding!) At the very least, though, your subconscious has excellent intuition, and you've learned to trust it. Sometimes the strangeness of dreams cuts through the vagueness of perception in the best possible way.
So, every night when you go to sleep, you try to think about the mysteries of life and let the answers reveal themselves to you. When you wake up at the beginning of each day phase, you record your dreams: every night, they will reveal either one of two things. You will either find that there is an individual you are certain you can trust, and know that they are innocent; or you will discern a suspicious-looking character, aligned with the mafia - but, obscured as they are by dream logic, you are unsure of their identity. You then get a list of three players, then, at least one of which is aligned with the mafia; of the other two, you're unsure.
Too bad, though, that you're such a light dreamer! Any possible disturbance sends your divinations floating away into the clouds that you use to count sheep: if you are targeted at night at all, you awaken and receive no recollection of the dreams you were having.
(An experimental role that I found on epicmafia: I like the idea, but I guess you're going to have to test it out? Heh.)
