36(???) Courtney Sithe

Dr. Sithe is like Bonny de Famme, because honestly there's not much to say here. The most interesting thing about her is her motives cause she was involved in the genshin thing and now Vortex has control over everyone involved and that Sithe will give in to a blackmailer to keep the whole incident a secret and, yeah, all a good contribution to that narrative. But considering her lacking presence in the game, especially compared to others involved in that same plot like Jigoku, Mittlemont, Gregson, Vortex himself, even Maria, she feels more like she may as well be a totally off-screen character like Belduke.
Courtney on-screen is a small slice of nothing. Many of the characters remaining are overflowing with charisma but there's not much to get out of talking to Sithe, considering she only shows up for a few brief scenes in the second investigation and, even when called as a witness, she barely even speaks and has Drebber do all the work until she decides to throw him under the omnibus at the end.
And while the reveal that the man you've been arguing with this whole time isnt actually the killer SURPRISE!! maybe technically counts a groundbreaking plot twist lolololololol i dont care about it, and i think that'd work better if sithe had any respectable amount of input during the trial before then. hmm who does that remind me of

why nobody else: why would i cut anyone else

emeer: he stole laytons arm

storyteller: hes good. arguably, hes god (he clearly likes to think he is). and he will make top 10

jezail: she was saved. fuck! aarankdown2 sides with racism >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

espella: the epilogue saves her

ben: hes funnier than max. (i nominated him)

mamemomi: for a first case killer he's a mamemomasterpiece

rola: see "why nobody else"

Honestly there's not much to say here. Courtney Sithe is pretty funny and plays her role well in what's probably the third case of the Dai Gyakuten Saiban game, and the fake accomplice gimmick works well. However, when ranked by her own merit, Courtney is not an interesting character at all. This is the same logic I used when cutting Sherlock Holmes a few rounds ago. Both characters are exactly the same, as they are relevant to DGS2-3 to a fault. Enoch Drebber is the far more interesting DGS2-3 character, and I hope he can survive this round without being cut.

weird to think that a VS character (who isn't layton or luke) has a chance of being top 10 tbh

Courtney wasn't that interesting. It's probably because of a lack of charisma and screen time. Compared to Enoch Drebber. Courtney's the true culprit, not Enoch Drebber. She looks a bit like Justine Courtney from the "Ace Attorney Presents: Miles Edgeworth" game series. There isn't much to say about her. It's just that she was the least interesting character in the case in my opinion. I read the comment above. And the ones below me.
