Jinxie Tenma is the superstitious and yokai-obsessed daughter of Damian Tenma - the head of the Tenma family and mayor of Tenma Town. She was working as a maid at Kyubi Manor, home of Nine-Tails Vale's alderman Rex Kyubi, when the latter was murdered. Her father was arrested for the murder, but Jinxie believed the real culprit to be the demon "Tenma Taro". A friend of Trucy Wright, she had originally invited her and Apollo Justice to Nine-Tails Vale for a yokai-based celebration the village was having.
