27. Dick Gumshoe (Ace Attorney series)
There is no one in the Ace Attorney more adorable than Gumshoe. You can try to point out Maya, Pearl, Ema, Trucy, or that girl that's with Edgeworth in AA:I, but honestly, none of them can compare (and Pearl sucks outright). Gumshoe is this lovable loser cop who bumbles around and seems like he can't do anything right, to the point where his salary is constantly in jeopardy because of his ineptitude. Yet his relationship with Edgeworth is adorable, because Gumshoe looks up to Edgeworth like his best and only friend, and Edgeworth kinda ignores him, but realizes eventually that Gumshoe is a very valuable friend to have on your side because of how loyal he is. Then you have Gumshoe's relationship with Maggey, wanting to be with her but not knowing how to tell her, plus having to do his job during all of the many occasions in which she gets arrested for suspicion of murder. I think what I like best about him though is just how devoted to his job he is, even if he's incompetent. He tries so hard, and you know it eats him up inside any time you have one of those little innocent girls telling him to be nice, even though he still has to arrest their sister or whomever. He really is a nice guy and despite being a goofball, you can really get a sense of his inner torment during some of the cases, where he WANTS to help the protagonists, but his job restrictions simply won't allow it.
