Mia Fey, known in Japanese as Chihiro Ayasato (Japanese: 綾里 千尋, Hepburn: Ayasato Chihiro), is a character in the Ace Attorney series, first appearing in the 2001 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. She is a defense attorney and mentor to protagonist Phoenix Wright, as well as the older sister to Maya Fey. Like Maya, she is also a spirit medium, able to commune with the dead. She is murdered in the second episode of the game by a man named Redd White in order to conceal the truth about him, only for Maya to channel her into her body. She reappears throughout the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy as a spirit possessing either her or their cousin, Pearl Fey, offering assistance and guidance to Phoenix. Mia appears in the third entry, Trials and Tribulations, as a playable character during flashback episodes.
Mia was created by Shu Takumi and designed by Tatsurō Iwamoto. She was initially conceived as an older man, though this was changed due to the high number of old men in the story. Mia has received generally positive reception, praised for her strong character and beauty, with multiple critics discussing the untimeliness of her death.
