Danielle Themis

Development

 * Themis was originally going to be a man named Alonso Tribunal. But this was changed, since the story needed a female protagonist to travel with John while Verité was in Ciratovia.
 * Her haircolor is based on the hair of Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa, of which Bart and Christi van Oosterhout couldn't agree (if it was pink or blond) about. But Danielle's haircolor is stated to be dyed "peach."
 * The blue in Danielle's outfit was originally going to be red, to contrast with John's suit. This was changed to blue, because it would fit her character better.
 * Verité Florent traveling to Ciratovia to study foreign law and becoming Shizuka's assistant, was a choice made to give John Garpeau a reason to travel to the country. Because of this, Danielle was introduced.
 * Danielle is Bart van Oosterhout's second favorite defense attorney. Right after John Garpeau of course.

Name

 * Danielle means “God is my judge,” a reference to her career in law.
 * Themis is the Greek god of Justice. Also a nod to her career in law.
