Dahlia is introduced as the ever-sweet, ever-innocent [[Friend to All Living Things]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] girlfriend of Phoenix Wright, but Mia already knew that something was wrong with her. Turns out {{spoiler|she tried to frame Phoenix for a murder she committed AND Phoenix himself was originally supposed to be the victim}}. Mia eventually unmasks her and put her behind the bars {{spoiler|and eventually death row}}. However, her criminal career started several years before, when she seduced Terry Fawles and used him to {{spoiler|fake her kidnapping}} in an elaborate plan to get back at her family. When the plan didn't go as planned, she {{spoiler|faked her own death and got Terry convicted to death for it}}, then {{spoiler|killed her own stepsister and co-conspirator, again framing Terry,}} to stop her from confessing. In the following trial, she narrowly escaped conviction by manipulating Terry into {{spoiler|committing suicide}} and, a few months later, {{spoiler|poisoning then-defense attorney Diego Armando}}.

 

* [[Anti-Gravity Clothing]]: Her stole floats, [[Foreshadowing]] her true nature.

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]

* [[Cute and Psycho]]

* [[Leitmotif]]: "Distant Traces of Beauty".

* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: "Two minutes, and she's got the whole courtroom wrapped around her little finger..."

* {{spoiler|[[My Death Is Just the Beginning]]}}

* [[Never Found the Body]]

* [[Parasol of Prettiness]]

* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Wears an all pink outfit. It's just part of her cover image.

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[The Vamp]]

Ron's incredibly hot wife (did I mention that already?). She spends money like it's going out of style {{spoiler|(hence why Ron got into thievery in the first place)}} and drives her motorcycle fast enough to call it "flying". She despises cowardly criminals above all else. {{spoiler|Apparently, Ron doesn't count because he [[Calling Card|announces his thefts]]. Man did he make a good catch...}}

 

* [[Rescue Romance]]

* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: The general response. It's heavily implied that he appeals to her maternal instincts... that and {{spoiler|she's under the impression he's loaded; he went into crime to [[Unconfessed Unemployment|not tell her that he was fired]]}}. There's also the fact that {{spoiler|1=while Luke Atmey hid and covered up his crime, Ron kept truthfully screaming at anyone who would listen that he was Mask☆DeMasque. So Ron is a criminal, but not the "cowardly" kind Desiree despises.}}

* [[Brooklyn Rage]]: "WHADDYA THINK YOUSE DOIN'?!"

** [[Kansai Regional Accent]] in the original Japanese dialogue.

* [[Evil Twin]]: Parodied; when Phoenix and Maya first find out about that Nick's got a phony, Maya suddenly exclaims, "I got it!" Phoenix replies, "If you're going to ask if I've got a twin brother, the answer is 'no'."

* [[Incoming Ham]]: The first indication that you'll be encountering him in any given scene? Just look at his character quote!
