• Ace Attorney:
  • In the original trilogy of the series, Maya is often shown more or less living with Phoenix (or at least hanging around in his office all the time), has him buy her countless hamburgers, and needs him to bail her out of trouble when she's inevitably arrested for some murder accusation or another. Technically she does have an excuse to be around (she hired herself as Phoenix's assistant and he seems to have no problem with this), but her contributions tend to do more harm than good.

Seems to be written by someone who hates Phoenix/Maya ship and wasn't me. Overall, entry seems to be based on two assumptions: That Phoenix lives at the office(untrue) and that Maya lives there (uncertain). We see her constantly at the office because she WORKS there. She's Phoenix's assistant, whether part-time or full time but it IS her job to be at the office.

• Larry's many off-screen supermodel girlfriends seem to be this at times. Any time Larry shows up struggling for cash, it's usually to pay for whoever he's dating at the moment. In the very first case of the series, his ex (who he was accused of murdering) is specifically mentioned to have had several sugar daddies to support her.

Larry isn't rich and considering that rthey're his girlfriends we're talking about if they were it would be Gold Digger. So example is pretty questionable.
