Also played somewhat straight with Azmaria, a 12-year-old apprentice in the Order who is assigned to work with Chrono and Rosette.
* ''[[Henry Hatsworth in The Puzzling Adventure]]'': Cole, for Henry Hatsworth. {{spoiler|He's later revealed to be a [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] and in actuality the [[Big Bad]] in disguise.}}
* ''[[Kirby]]'': [[Meaningful Name|Sword and Blade]] to Metaknight.

Phoenix also had Ema Skye in one case when she was 16, and ''[[Apollo Justice]]'' has Trucy, who is 15.
