Personality: Franziska is much like her father - striving for perfection. Always curt and precise, but she displays more smugness (and frustration) than Karma. She also goes to extreme lengths to preserve her record.

Misc Facts: Despite speaking formally most of the time, she sometimes breaks out into petty and redundant insults, mostly involving "fool". Example: "Only a foolish fool from a land of fools could think something so foolishly foolish."

In the Japanese version, she was practicing law in America instead of Germany.

Friends and Family: Franziska is Manfred von Karma's daughter, and was raised along with Miles (she thinks of him as her "little brother"). She also has an older sister who is married and has a daughter.

Name Origin:
English: "Franziska" was probably chosen to match the German influence of her father's name.

Japanese: The kanji for "mei" means "dark." When the game came out there was some confusion as to whether she was Karma's daughter or niece, because the word mei means niece.

Background: Franziska was raised by her father, Manfred von Karma, and began her career as a prosecutor in Germany at the young age of 13. She is considered a genius in her field and, up until her appearance, never lost a case.

Personality: Pearl is shy around strangers, but once she's warmed up to someone she's friendly, polite, and very clever. Possibly due to her mother's strict upbringing she is far more mature than most children her age, and participates in many of Phoenix's investigations. She's very talented when it comes to channeling spirits.

Misc Facts: Pearl is not so good with kanji. She's also a fan of Elise Tenryuusai's picture books.

In the Japanese, Phoenix calls her "Harumi-chan" and Maya "Hami-chan." In the English, Phoenix calls her "Pearls" and Maya "Pearly".

Friends and Family: Pearl is Mia and Maya's cousin, and her mother is Morgan.

Name Origin:
English: Probably chosen to sound cute. Also means "precious."

Japanese: The kanji for Harumi mean "spring beauty."

Background: Pearl was raised in Kurain by her mother, after her father left the village when she was young.
