Dahlia Hawthorne, known in Japanese as Chinami Miyanagi (Japanese: 美柳ちなみ, Hepburn: Miyanagi Chinami), is a character who appears as the main antagonist in the 2004 video game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations. She initially appears in a flashback episode as the girlfriend of protagonist Phoenix Wright, who is on trial for murder and defended by rookie defense attorney Mia Fey. She is proven to be the true killer, and Phoenix becomes an attorney at Mia's law office. She is eventually executed for her crimes, but not before her also-incarcerated mother, Morgan Fey, proposed she assist her in a plan to have Maya Fey killed, which Dahlia accepted to get revenge on Mia by having Dahlia's sister, Pearl Fey, channel Dahlia so she may kill Maya.
She was created by Shu Takumi, and designed by Tatsurō Iwamoto, who had difficulties coming up with a design that fit all the necessary parameters. When localizing her name, localizer Janet Hsu named her Dahlia after the album Dahlia by X Japan, while naming her Hawthorne from the short story "Rappaccini's Daughter". Dahlia has received generally positive reception, with multiple critics considering her among the most evil characters in the Ace Attorney series and a tragic figure due to her upbringing.
