Board 8 > Rate the Ace Attorney character: Characters from 4-1 (feat. Kristopher Gavin)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:

1. Rate each character on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Anything above 10 gets rounded down to a 10, and anything below a 1 gets rounded up to a 1.
2. Anything beyond one decimal point will be rounded accordingly: .04 and below will be rounded down, .05 and up will be rounded up.
3. You may grade on any criteria you like.
4. Consider the character's appearances throughout the entire Ace Attorney series.
5. You can rate characters from previous topics if you miss a topic.
6. On a day with multiple characters, clearly label which rating applies to which characters.
7. On a day with multiple characters, you may skip a character to rate.
8. Pretty much every character from Ace Attorney will be rated. The schedule will go in chronological game order in the West (with AAI2 being right after AAI just for consistency). When a character debuts and gets a major speaking role, they will show up (so Trucy appearing for a moment in 4-1 doesn't count as a 4-1 character). Major characters get their own day and minor characters are all ranked at once. All extremely minor characters (background, animals, mascots, and jury) will be rated on the final day.
9. The "roles" listed are: Defense, Rival, Assistant, Detective, Judge, Victim, Defendant, Culprit, Witness, Background, Animal, Mascot, and Jury. Sorry, I'm not pointing out accomplices.

My ratings:

Kristoph: 7.2
Shadi: 1
Orly: 6.5

Kristoph is somewhat interesting. He kinda makes no sense but I also think that was the developers intention. I generally like his vibes and he has some neat moments, especially in 4-4.

Shadi is the worst character in the series. IYKYK.

Orly is a fun one-case witness. Both versions of her are enjoyable. It makes no sense that she gets hired by Shadi but I put that more on Shadi.
