PERSONALITY:
Before the SL-9 Incident, Starr looked up to and admired Lana Skye. However, when the aftermath left her without a job, she quickly developed a resentment towards Lana, believing her to have betrayed her colleagues. She also developed a passionate hatred towards prosecutors, who she believed to be corrupt.
She is an aggressive and promiscuous woman who has little trust in other people. She also has the habit of using her various boxed lunches to emphasize a point, to bribe someone or to indicate her true feelings towards someone.
Starr always speaks with her bangs covering one eye. One of her personality quirks is that her more aggressive side causes her to flip her bangs to cover her left eye. Her left eye is brown and appears serene and sweet, while her right eye is grey and looks far more menacing. She seems perfectly aware of these two drastically different parts of her personality, saying that she is sometimes a demon but she could be an angel too.
Career(s):
Eventually, Starr joined the police and rose to the rank of detective. She was very adept at getting criminals to confess, earning the nickname "Cough-Up Queen". Her career culminated in the investigation of the SL-9 Incident with fellow detectives Bruce Goodman, Jake Marshall, Lana Skye and Damon Gant, as well as prosecutor Miles Edgeworth.
After SL-9, all the detectives involved in the case were either fired or demoted to patrolmen. Starr was one of those who lost their jobs completely. Like others, she suspected that the prosecutor's office had tampered with the evidence, and began to develop a cynical hatred toward prosecutors. Over the next two years, Starr used her new job as a boxed lunch vendor to visit the Prosecutor's Building and hopefully gain some insight as to what had really happened in the SL-9 Incident; she would boast that her lunches were imported from "the freshest and the best from the Far East". She also began to have multiple "boyfriends" who would help with her investigation. Meanwhile, Gant and Skye were promoted to Chief of Police and Chief Prosecutor, respectively.
early life:
Little is known of Starr's early life other than that she knew d**k Gumshoe when he was 16. According to him, she was already good at getting people to "cough-up" when she was in high school. He has mentioned vaguely to Phoenix Wright that only Starr could get him to talk about what had happened "that day", although he has never elaborated on what he meant by this.

"Happy birthday, Ms. Angel! I hope we can someday get to talk again."
Indeed, it has. I've been fairly busy as of late, but it seems that things are slowing down a bit.
I can't complain. Thank you for asking.
Ah, Ms. Starr. It's been quite some time since we last spoke. I hope you are doing well.
-continues on to his office with a small wave-
"Good day, Ms. Starr. I assume you are doing well."
"Okay then Angel it is! And you can call me d**k, Ms. Starr!"
"Urkkk, I mean, Angel.I'm going to have to get used to calling you angel."
"What gavin? You mean that rock star prosecutor? He isn't a prosecutor in my opinion."
"He's nothin' like Prosecutor Edgeworth.He's too rocksy to be a prosecutor. Besides, haven't you heard? His brother was accused of two murders and he was the prosecutor in two."
"Back on the force. How'd you manage that?..."
"That's great news, pal! I mean Ms. Starr!"
"We might even get to work on a case together, wouldn't that be great? I can't wait to tell Edgeworth. You might actually work with him too! "
"Heya there, Starr! It's been a long while since we last met. How are you?"
