* CharacterCustomization - You can fully customize their appearance, a first for the series.
* DudeWheresMyRespect - They revitalise a town that has been stagnating for years, jump start its economy in a way that would make politicians weep with envy, build houses ''for free'' despite spending a fortune in time and money on the ingredients, meet increasingly difficult conditions to aid the growth of the town, and are [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking running their own farm]] all the while. Yet certain townsfolk will still berate you if you lose a honey making contest or fail to construct a garden that is up to their standards.

* SelfDeprecation - Somewhat prone to this.

->A reserved young man who runs the animal shop.

* Impossible Hair Color - Possible through initial customization or Allen's salon.

* [[AnimalsHateHim Animals Hate Them]]: Animals run in fear from them (even normally predatory ones like bears).

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Impossible Hair Color]] - Possible through initial customization or Allen's salon.

* [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing - If you pursue a relationship with her, you find out that she's only dating you because you're a sucker who's constantly giving her free stuff and will do anything she asks.]]

* [[FirstGirlWins First Boy Wins]] - If you're playing as a girl and choose to pursue him, since he's the first bachelor (and first marriage candidate overall) who moves to Echo Village.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

* VagueAge: Although he often talks about being older than the protagonist (and worrying about it should you choose to date him), he noticeably lacks the AnimatedAnatomyAging common to the other older bachelors in the series, aside from just being less PuniPlush. Due to his status as a known hypochondriac, it's a common fan-theory that he's not actually ''that'' much older than the main characters; he's just extremely self-conscious about it.

** [[spoiler: LoveRedeems - She will genuinely fall for you if you continue to pursue her after her green heart event, though.]]
*** [[spoiler:Not quite. In her yellow heart event (which is the final one), she continues to show no affection for you regardless of your choices, and even rubs it in your face if you do give her the diamond.]]

* RoseHairedGirl

* {{Expy}}: Rachel is a very clear expy of Claire from the earlier games; the only major difference is a hat. Henry looks a lot a remake of Pete.

* RealMenHateSugar: He actually doesn't hate it due to manly reasons, but because of [[spoiler: overexposure. His mother loved sweets, his father didn't care either way and so he grew up in a house where every meal was sweet]]. Becomes a funny instance of GameplayAndStorySegregation during the Pumpkin Festival and Winter Harmony Day where he'll accept your sweets but complain about eating them anyway.

* TroubledButCute: Like a few other candidates he has a bad relationship with his father[[spoiler: which is the reason why he ran away to Echo Village in the first place.]]. But he's also the grumpiest candidate.

* SugarAndIcePersonality

* HotMom: Even the bachelors are into her.

* HotMom: And HOW.

* HotMom

* DrJerk: He doesn't have much of a brain-to-mouth filter and he doesn't like people wasting his time. He does care about his patients, though.

* CoolOldGuy - Despite being somewhere in his late 20s or early 30s, he constantly calls himself an old man and is worried about starting a relationship with you because he thinks [[MayDecemberRomance there's too much of an age gap]].
** Exactly how old Soseki is, however, is currently unknown. Some estimate that he's in his late 30's to early 40's.

* YamatoNadeshiko - Sort of. She's very polite and welcoming, so she does have the characteristics of this. However [[spoiler: her father wanted her to be one, instead of a blacksmith, so she left home so she wouldn't have to. Really she just hated the it as a career choice.]]

* YamatoNadeshiko - Averted, [[spoiler: her father wanted her to be one, and she left home so she wouldn't have to.]]
** She does however have the demeanor and attitude of one since she is very polite, welcoming, and doesn't like to cause trouble for others. Really she just hated the career choice.

* ImpossibleHairColor - Possible through initial customization or Allen's salon.

* ImpossibleHairColor - Purple.

* TroubledButCute: Like a few other candidates he has a bad relationship with his father[[spoiler: which is the reason why he ran away to Echo Village in the first place. Though he implies he may regret leaving his father on such a bad note.]]. But he's also the grumpiest candidate.

* JerkWithAHeartofGold: As stated above and below, he's not the nicest bachelor but he doesn't like to hurt the main character and is instantly apologetic when he does. He also really cares about animals.

* VerbalTic : Expect to hear "geez" and "sheesh" a lot(especially when he's embarrassed). He also says "forget what I just said/forget I said that" so much it borders on Catchphrase. To a lesser extent, "such a pain/what a pain".

* PrecociousCrush: Implied to have one on Allen.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Can be cutting and rude, even when asked out to do something nice (like Starry Night), but will instantly backpedal if he suspects he's hurt the female MC's feelings.
