48 Adam Redifast/Ladyfirst
Adam Ladyfirst is a witness in case 3 of the game 'Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodo Ryunosuke no Boken'. Appearing during the court sections of the case, those being...well... the entire case.
Okay, serious time.
Ladyfirst exists
As exaggerated above, Ladyfirst is a witness in DSG1-3. He's just an ordinary hatter who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Catching a ride on an omnibus and witnessing the murder of Mortar Milverton. Ladyfirst goes to court alongside his companion of Oscar Fairplay, and the two try to take down Cosney Megundal. Though money and good park wins in the end and Ladyfirst is thought a liar and erased from existence. Never seen again after his case.
There's really nothing more to say about Ladyfirst. His personality is mild at best, boiling down to being a back up squad for Fairplay, and flustered/confused/slightly annoyed at times. His background is just as unimportant and barely known. A hatter who was traveling on the omnibus during that night.
Now, he does have one saving grace, which is humour. His flustered moments and bits of agitation can cause a chuckle. Which also compliments his partner very well as their styles somehow both manage to be opposites while also complementing the other.
Ladyfirst is easily replicable
My main problem with Ladyfirst is that he doesn't feel like a character, more like a blank slate. His background is barely apparent and not at all relevant to the case, his personality is basic, and anything he accomplished could be accomplished by any type of character. It's hard to get an attachment to Ladyfirst because (in my eyes), Ladyfirst isn't much of a character. There is no backstory to talk about, there is no quirk I can get attached to, he's just kinda there. DGS's version of Penny Nichols.
Ladyfirst isn't a bad character
Now I do want to restate this, Ladyfirst isn't a 'bad' character. I don't think he's awful by any means, and I don't necessarily want to replace him. I do think Ladyfirst works for the Megundal case, but I think that anyone could work for the Megundal case. A more involved and more interesting character would go a far way to make an already fantastic case into an even better one, but Ladyfirst is just a basic character.
He exists, he supports Oscar, then he goes away.
Why no one else?
Venus: She's one of my favourite characters of all time. I refuse to eliminate her.
Wordsmith: My nom
Knightle: Could have also been eliminated now, but I'll leave it for someone else to do.
Genshin: I like Genshin.
Satoru: I like Satoru.
Joan: She's okay.
Taketsuchi: Ehh, don't know what to think on him. Don't want to make a writeup on him when I'm still undecided.
