オリーブ・アルデンテ

Olivia Aldente is an Italian chef on board a freighter. She appeared as a witness in Espella Cantabella's trial in London. Aldente was a member of a group of jewel thieves who had been operating in London in recent years. Her group was known for stealing valuable jewels and smuggling them onto freighters, hiding them inside PC Badger toys to avoid detection; the toys were overlooked due to PC Badger being the police mascot. Aldente was responsible for ensuring that the toys and their contents made it out of the city, which her job as a freighter chef put her in the position to do. One evening, Aldente went to the freighter's cargo hold both to get supplies for her cooking and to check the smuggled goods. When she got there, she found Cantabella holding a PC Badger toy that Aldente knew had a jewel inside. Aldente panicked and tried to pull the toy from Cantabella, causing the tag to get ripped off of the plushie. Aldente then grabbed a steel pipe and attempted to hit Cantabella on the head with it, but Cantabella managed to block the attack. Soon after, however, Aldente was struck on the head herself from behind, with security guard Johnny Smiles entering the hold just as Aldente collapsed. Seeing Cantabella holding the pipe, Smiles assumed she was the assailant and had her arrested. The blow to Aldente's head was not fatal. She did not have a clear memory of who attacked her, and thus assumed it was Cantabella. To cover up her own crime, she hid the toy she fought over, replaced it with a different, untouched toy, and tore one of the legs off the replacement to make it look like it was damaged in the struggle. Aldente testified as a witness in Cantabella's trial, claiming that Cantabella had assaulted her and ripped the leg off the toy. Her story fell apart when Cantabella's defense attorney, Phoenix Wright, pointed out the contradictions in her testimony, and when it was revealed to her that Smiles had taken the tag ripped from the original toy and presented it without informing the prosecution. Deducing that Aldente had swapped the toys, Wright ordered a search of the cargo hold. Realizing that this would reveal her as a jewel thief, Aldente panicked and begged the judge to not allow the search. Regardless, Wright had learned about the jewel thefts and pieced together Aldente's connection. Aldente could do nothing as the police found the swapped toy, with the jewel inside. After becoming so enraged she attempted to cleave her fish on the witness stand, only to miss and get slapped to the floor by it, she confessed, admitting she had not seen who assaulted her. Cantabella was acquitted, but the mystery of who assaulted Aldente was left unsolved to Wright.
