Dahlia Hawthorne is a student at Ivy University studying literature.Morgan Fey, who was to become the head of the Fey clan, married a wealthy jeweler and had two twin daughters with him: Dahlia and Iris. However, Misty, Morgan's younger sister, had more spiritual power than Morgan did, and she became the head instead, making Morgan's bloodline a powerless branch family. The jeweler left his wife, taking their daughters with him. He later remarried to a woman who already had a daughter, Valerie Hawthorne. As Dahlia stayed with the Hawthornes, she began to hate her father and plotted against him for his money.When Dahlia was fourteen, she pretended to fall in love with Terry Fawles, her tutor. With Valerie's cooperation, she staged a fake kidnapping by Fawles to get her hands on one of her father's rare jewels. At Dusky Bridge near Hazakura Temple, however, Valerie betrayed Fawles and shot him in the arm, the signal for the "hostage" to jump into Eagle River intentionally with the diamond in her backpack. Fawles was convicted for Dahlia's "murder" and sentenced to death row.Five years later, Fawles was being transferred to another prison, but his transport broke down and he broke out. He called Valerie and told her to meet him at Dusky Bridge to explain what had happened. Valerie called Dahlia and told her that she was going to tell the truth about the incident. Fearful of what would result from the meeting, Dahlia stabbed Valerie at Dusky Bridge and then, when Fawles arrived by a stolen car, she hid the body in the trunk of the car and then met Fawles at the bridge, posing as Valerie. Fawles was arrested soon afterward. During Fawles's trial, Miles Edgeworth prepared Dahlia as a witness named Melissa Foster. Mia Fey was almost able to prove that Dahlia was the killer, but Fawles refused to cooperate with Mia, poisoning himself and dying on the stand instead.The result of the trial drove Mia and her co-worker, Diego Armando, to investigate Dahlia. Dahlia found out and convinced Diego to meet her in the courthouse cafeteria six months later. Fearful that Diego would expose the truth, Dahlia quietly slipped poison into his coffee from her bottle necklace. Soon after, in the reading room, Dahlia stumbled across fellow Ivy University student Phoenix Wright and gave him the necklace as a "love gift" to evade the authorities. Doug Swallow later found out about the stolen poison and broke up with her. Diego was put into a coma from the poisoning. Dahlia asked Iris to live her life at Ivy University in the event of another encounter with law enforcement, and to retake the bottle from Wright. Six months went by and the bottle necklace was not recovered. Having failed in the task for all that time, Dahlia suspected that Iris had actually fallen in love with Wright. Without Iris’ knowledge, Dahlia took matters into her own hands and went back to the university herself in desperation. She attempted to kill Wright by stealing more of Swallow's poison and using it to poison Wright's cold medicine. However, before her plan could come to fruition, she found Swallow trying to warn Wright about her and the stolen poison. Dahlia then permanently silenced Swallow by using power cables to fatally electrocute him, and attempted to frame Wright for his murder. Mia had finally decided to return to the courtroom for the first time since Fawles' trial. She took on Wright's case and Dahlia was then convicted and sentenced to death, but swore that she would someday have her revenge against the woman who had defeated her. One month after her execution, Godot and Misty Fey learned of Morgan's plot and tried to stop it by having Misty channel Dahlia instead. Godot would then restrain Dahlia and stop her from killing Maya. However, Dahlia attacked Maya at the Inner Temple, which was some distance away from Hazakura Temple. After channelling and asking her sister Mia for help, Maya used her sister's advice and locked herself in the Inner Temple's icy Training Hall and channelled Dahlia to prevent Pearl, who was unknowing of the entire plot, from channelling Dahlia and consequentially murdering Maya. After being exposed and distraught over her failure to kill Maya, Dahlia left Maya's body, and the judge suggested that her spirit never be channelled again. Dahlia knew that her beauty and innocent appearance threw others off her true nature and took full advantage of it. However, this aura of innocence was a façade, and when pressed into a corner, her demeanor could change to a terrifying, almost demonic visage. In truth, Dahlia looked after and cared about nobody but herself. Many who have seen Hawthorne's true nature, have described Dahlia as evil. She displayed absolutely no remorse or regret for any of the crimes she had committed.[Taken from her Ace Attorney Wiki page.]
