Franziska Von Karma: A Character Playlist

Foolish fool, foolishly creating a foolish Franziska playlist...

(Okay, but seriously, Franziska and her brother Edgeworth are two of my favorite Ace Attorney characters, and I adore them both. I wanted to make a playlist for the Prodigy herself, because it's fun and she deserves it.)

"Don't Play this Game"

By SparrowRayne

"You foolish fools are merely tools

If I'm the fire, you're the fuel

This case is quickly going down in flames

Don't play this game"

(Okay, this one is technically cheating since it was written with her in mind. But it's so good, I can't not include it.)

"Whipped into Shape"

From Legally Blonde

"I want you whipped into shape!

When I say jump, say how high

You know you're doing it right

When you start to cry

If you don't look like you should

You've got to whip it, whip it, whip it good

I'm sorry, ladies, no escape

Till you're whipped into shape!"

"Price of Perfection"

By Katherine Lynn-Rose

"Cause I'm so sick of second best

I'm so sick of 'not impressed'

This family's obsessed

With validation, and reputation

American dream

Tell me what's the price of perfection?

Tell me why I crave your affection?

When excellence is expected, praise is a luxury

American dream

Why do my achievements define me?

Why does life feel so damn confining?

When success is respected, there's no room for mediocrity"

Light of Your Cutie Mark

From My Little Pony

"You don't even know me at all

Don't understand the meaning of my fall

What my family would do if I ever

Fail at anything

I'm a Von Karma, that means you never break

No matter what be the cost of the path I take

Whatever I have to do to win in the end"

Daughters Of

By Rachel Bay Jones

"Daughters of presidents

Daughters of kings

Can never experience everyday things

Like going to school or riding a bus

Without people saying 'she’s not one of us'

Daughters of famous men born into fame

Can rarely get free of their family name

They’re used as a tool

To shelter or shield their parent’s ambitions

Their fate's all but sealed

As though they were hostages taken by force

Their dreams are not their own

They can’t escape the public lie

And woe to those who dare to try

They won’t be left alone

And yet they’re so unknown"

"Blow Us All Away"

By Anthony Ramos

"Meet the latest graduate of King's College

I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish

The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops

The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops

I'm only nineteen but my mind is older

Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder

I shoulder his legacy with pride, I used to hear him say

That someday I would (blow us all away!)"

"I'm Gonna Win"

By Rob Cantor

It's hard to be charming and smart and disarming

It's hard to pretend you're the best

It's hard to fulfill everyone's expectations

It's hard to keep up with the rest

But I'm gonna win, I'm gonna try

I'll never lose, I'll never die

You've seen me before, you'll see me again

I'll never give up, I'll never give in

'Til I'm bloody and bruised

'Til I've broken my bones

'Til I won't be abused

'Til I'm laughing alone

"Rät"

By Penelope Scott

"I loved you

I loved you

I loved you it's true

I wanted to be you

And do what you do

I lived here

I loved here

I bought it it's true

I'm so embarrassed

I feel abused

Well, I don't wanna eat the rich

I'd have to eat my heroes first

And my tuition's paid by blood

I might deserve your fate or worse"

"One of those Moments"

By Mariah Rose Faith

"Dad, you would know what to say

You always had such a way

You made it all seem so easy

I didn't get that from you

Instead, I found something new

I ask 'what if no one sees me?'

All that I've known

Is feeling alone

Don't want to fall off the throne

If I stand tall, and if I fall

What was the point of it all?

Is perfect ever really worth it?

Or do we lose things on the way?

Why am I asking you for answers

When I know there's nothing you can say?"
