History Characters / HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility

* {{Expy}}: She bears a striking resemblance to Chibi Usa/Mini Moon from ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. This might have lead to a possible ShoutOut to ''Sailor Moon'' in the English versions of the games, where her name is Luna, which [[BilingualBonus means "moon"]] in Spanish.

This might have lead to a possible [[ShoutOut Shout Out]] to ''Sailor Moon'' in the English versions of the games, where her name is Luna, which [[BilingualBonus means "moon"]] [[CaptainObvious in Spanish.]]

* EyesAlwaysShut: It appears to be genetic. His uncle Ozzie, cousin Paolo, and his potential son with Renee, Matt, all have them as well. {{Lampshaded}} with Matt: "Everyone tells me he's got my eyes." Though when Toby does open them during some {{Cut Scene}}s, they're [[spoiler: GreenEyes]]. Your child with him in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' has [[spoiler: GreenEyes]] as well.

* ExposedToTheElements: Her winter outfit is a different color BellyDancer outfit and has transparent sleeves. That's it.

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: He calls the crystal ball [[Literature/LordOfTheRings "my precious"]] when refusing to give it back to the wizard.]]

FlorenceNightingaleEffect

* GenderBenderName: His Japanese name "Julie" is usually used for girls.

* {{Shotacon}}: It is possible for a female to propose marriage to Taylor with the Blue Feather. This seems to be taken seriously, though he will decline because he isn't ready and doesn't think he can satisfy her, [[AvertedTrope averting]] a potential MayDecemberRomance.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Possibly. There are some hints at this, like how she doesn't get along well with the Harvest King. Or how she says she doesn't know what to do if you died or disappeared suddenly (if you're married to her that is).

* OlderThanTheyLook: Like the above trope for the Wizard, she has lived on the island longer than most of its residents and tells the player that she will continue to live for a long time.

A waitress at her father's bar. She enjoys horseback riding.
* BareYourMidriff: At least for the Spring-Summer outfits.

* {{Tsundere}}: For Owen.

A big, tough guy who works with the blacksmith. He's very friendly, but also a bit of a party animal.
* TheAlcoholic: He enjoys alcohol. Cocktails are some of his favorite drinks. [[spoiler: And in the Japanese version of ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', he proposes to Kathy while DRUNK.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Kathy.
* TheBlacksmith: [[TheApprentice In training]], though he spends most of his time mining.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Luke.

* FieryRedhead: Although not in the aggressive sense.
* FriendToAllChildren: Like Luke, he loves kids and spends time playing with his cousin Chloe and Bo.
* GentleGiant

[[folders: Villagers]]

[[folders: Others]]

!!Van
Anissa and Jin's son, should they get married.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild
* ChildProdigy: In one event he can teach your own child about precipitation and such.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Absolutely hates milk. Doubles as UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay--people of Asian descent tend to have a higher incidence of lactose intolerance than people of other ethnicities.

!!Lucy
Luke and Selena's daughter, should they get married.
* TheLadette: A nascent version: She much prefers sports to school, and is rather meat-headed.

!!Luke
The fiery-tempered son of the Carpenter.
* AnAxeToGrind: And for about eight hours a day in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', he stands outside of the carpenter's shop and ''swings that axe at nothing''. You'd think someone would get on his case for that.
* BookDumb: Not the brightest.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Owen.
* TheFool
* FourthDateMarriage: With Selena. The first time they meet, they get into a fight; not much later, he basically asks her "Wanna get married?" out of the blue. [[spoiler: [[HappilyMarried They're one of the happiest rival couples]]. They're the only non-player couple portrayed as wanting more than one child, though, since StatusQuoIsGod, they don't get one.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: Surprisingly enough! He loves kids.
* HotBlooded: He loves things being EXTREME!
* MissingMom: She died when he was young.
* NoIndoorVoice: EXTREME!
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Bo's Blue, seen in their cutscene with Gill.
* TechnicolorEyes: Gold, like his father's.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dark blue hair.

!!Selena
A native from Toucan Island who dreams of leaving home and working as a dancer.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: At least, her art is. Her in-game model has more or less the same skin tone as everyone else, with slightly darker shading.
* AttentionWhore: She admits it herself, really.
* BareYourMidriff
* BellyDancer
* DarkSkinnedRedhead
* DefrostingIceQueen: Seems like an AlphaBitch at first but becomes noticeably nicer as you befriend her.
* DubNameChange: She is named "Sheila" in Japan.
* FieryRedhead: Especially prominent in her rival cutscenes with Luke.
* FishOutOfWater: Being from a tropical climate, she hates the cold seasons. She also frequently comments on the different culture, and some of the festivals seem lost on her.
* MsFanservice

!!Calvin
A traveling arcaheologist who works with Phoebe. He's got an enthusiastic heart.
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Some of the things he says indicates he enjoys letting his mind wander.
* AdventurerArchaeologist
* {{Adorkable}}: ''Potently.''
* {{Expy}}: He's reminiscent of Carter from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife AWL]]/[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS DS]]''; moreso in personality than appearance. (They're both stern-seeming archaeologists with boyish zeal for their work.)
** Saying nothing of his resemblance to Franchise/IndianaJones.
*** In one of their Rival Events in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'', Phoebe even says "[he's] like an adventurer from a movie or something!", IIRC. Another cutscene has Calvin bursting out to Luke and Owen attempting to demolish a pamphlet: "It belongs in a museum!" A ShoutOut to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade.''
* GameBreakingBug: Unmarriable in earlier copies of ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'', due to a bug that would cause the game to freeze up when the player tried to complete a crucial marriage event.
* HairColorDissonance: Bright blonde in official art; light brown in-game.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his ''[[MrFanservice maaaanly]]'' appearance, he's actually very tender-hearted and awkward.
* ItBelongsInAMuseum: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DgHaToDuM this]] cutscene.
* MayDecemberRomance: If you pursue him, he alludes to being older than the protagonist, but there's no solid evidence that the gap is as big as he makes it out to be. His official description even calls him a "young man."
* MrFanservice: Someone at Marvelous apparently realized that most of the game's fans were girls, and started, uh, "catering" more to their interests. [[http://www.fogu.com/hm/animal_parade/bachelors.php#calvin Behold the result.]] Umm... ''wow.''
* PermaStubble

!!Phoebe
An inventor, she hangs around with Calvin a lot and helps him.
* DubNameChange: She is named "Pat" in Japan.
* {{Expy}}: She's oddly similar to Flora from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife AWL]]/[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS DS]]'', both in working with an archaeologist, some clothing, and being a {{Meganekko}}.
* GadgeteerGenius
* {{Meganekko}}:
* WrenchWench: She spends much of her time tinkering with ''something''.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Well, it's more teal, but in terms of strangeness it's all the same.

!!Candace
A very shy girl who works in the tailor shop. Older sister of Luna.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Blue eyes, blue hair.
* DubNameChange: She is named "Kotomi" in Japan.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe
* OppositesAttract: Julius is much more open than her.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Her parents died, so she only has Luna and Shelly.
* ShrinkingViolet
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: To the letter.
* SiblingYinYang: She's very quiet and shy, while her sister, Luna, is outgoing to the point of bluntness.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[http://www.fogu.com/hm/animal_parade/img/people/candace.jpg Very blue.]]

!!Luna
Candace's younger sister. Unlike her older sibling, Luna is outgoing--and even a little rude! She looks very young, but [[OlderThanTheyLook don't believe that for a second.]]
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Little Sister Instinct:]] She does NOT want Julius talking to Candace, due to how he treated Candace when they were kids.
* BerserkButton: Do NOT suggest that she's immature in any way.
* CatSmile
* DubNameChange: She is named "Ruumi" in Japan.
* ElegantGothicLolita: She dresses like this from time to time. It doesn't help her look much older.
* {{Expy}}: She bears a striking resemblance to Chibi Usa/Mini Moon from ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. This might have lead to a possible [[ShoutOut Shout Out]] to Sailor Moon in the English versions of the games, where her name is Luna, which [[BilingualBonus means "moon"]] [[CaptainObvious in Spanish.]]
* HairDecorations: There's a few flowers and a headband.
* GirlishPigtails: Lest we forget a single aspect of her appearance...
* MegaTwintails
* OlderThanTheyLook: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree Of Tranquility]]'' she was kind of short, but still available as a marriage candidate.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Moreso a Sequel Relevant Height Increase. In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'', [[OlderThanTheyLook she was so short she looked like she was the same age as the other children on the island.]] In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', despite her age not being changed, she was made taller.
* RaisedByGrandparents
* SiblingYinYang: She's the outgoing and brash counterpart to Candace's shyness.
* {{Tsundere}}
* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: Behaves like this in her rival cutscenes with Gill, even if she flat-out [[BerserkButton denies]] being immature. Justified, as she's 16, and not technically adult yet in [[ValuesDissonance most cultures.]]

!!Wizard (''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'')
A loner who researches spells and likes to spend his evenings gazing into the stars.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: However, in the stories on the Japanese website, there is a reference made to him being from a desert town.
* CrystalBall: He can read the hearts of marriage candidates with it.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: A very pale, almost grey blonde.
* DistaffCounterpart: He's basically the male version of the CuteWitch bachelorettes the series has grown fond of.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls him wizard, but you could find out his real name if you married him. [[spoiler:It's Gale.]]
* FetchQuest: His role in the story is to have you fetch three things so he can cure the Witch.
* FortuneTeller
* MayflyDecemberRomance
* MustHaveCaffeine: He stays up all night (In fact, the only way to meet him before a certain event is to stay out until ''2 AM''), and most of his favorite items are coffee-related. ''Hmmm...''
* MysticalWhiteHair: Due to being a wizard. Your children will inherit it.
* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:His name is Gale, but he only tells you if you marry him.]]
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Said word for word.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Who knows how old he is.
* Really700YearsOld
* TheStoic: Pretty quiet and keeps steady expressions, but he's not shy.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Invoked at a certain heart level if he's married, though only as a throwaway, probably to spare the [[FridgeHorror Fridge Depression]].
* WizardsLiveLonger: He states that while he has not been around as long as the Goddess or King, he's still been alive for quite some time.

!!Witch (''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'')
* BalefulPolymorph: You initially meet her as a pink frog. [[spoiler:Thanks to the Wizard, she gets better.]]
* CuteWitch: A staple of the series.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Possibly. There are some hints at this, like how she doesn't get along well with the Harvest King. Or how she says she doesn't know what to do if you died or disappeared suddenly (if you're married to her that is).
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The main thing that separates her from the Witch Princess, whom she's an obvious {{Expy}} of? The Witch Princess is usually the Harvest Goddess' nemesis. Here, she's one of her staunchest allies.
* LoveFreak: Unlike the Wizard, she says that she is fascinated by the concept of romance.
* MsFanservice: She is certainly the flashiest out of the witches in Harvest Moon, dressed in just a corset, bloomer-like shorts, and stockings.
* MysticalWhiteHair:
* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:Until she is married, which she reveals it to be Vivi.]]
* NotGoodWithPeople: As a result of being a witch and living alone deep in the Fugue Forest, she can be abrasive. During most festivals, she says that they don't interest her enough to participate.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Like the above trope for the Wizard, she has lived on the island longer than most of its residents and tells the player that she will continue to live for a long time.
* PetTheDog: She greatly respects the Harvest Goddess. In fact, her failed spell was meant to revive the Goddess Tree.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: More of an orange hue, but still in effect.
* {{Tsundere}}
* ZettaiRyouiki

!!Harvest King (''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'')
An all-knowing deity who helps revive the Goddess Tree.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red eyes, red hair.
* FieryRedhead: Literally.
* HotGod: He was clearly designed with this trope in mind.
* InterspeciesRomance
* MayflyDecemberRomance
* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:His name is Ignis, but he only tells you if you marry him.]]
* PhysicalGod: Gee, ya think?
* PowerGlows: There's a red aura all around him.
* RapunzelHair: It can reach the ground!
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
* TheStoic
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He shows little interest in interacting with the player character and frequently tells them to go home if they have no business with him. On seasonal festivities, he usually belittles the details.
* WhatIsThisFeeling

Characters who have appeared in ''Franchise/HarvestMoon: [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'' and ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade''.

* SecondLove: ''Very'' rare for the ''Franchise/HarvestMoon'' series. If not your female Player Characters, then Anissa is this for him.

** His resemblance to [[NamesTheSame Jin]] from Anime/SamuraiChamploo has not gone [[http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/object/921/921669/jin_samurai-champloo_pictureboxart_160w.jpg unnoticed]].
** As with almost all doctors in the series, he is based on the original Doctor from ''Back to Nature''.

* CampStraight: Goes on about beauty and fashion, but marries Candace, a girl. He's also an eligible bachelor for the female players.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Marries Candace if you don't, who've known each other since childhood.
* DubNameChange: He is named "Julie" in Japan.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: "Candace is marrying the blacksmith? I thought he was a woman when I first met him!" And so did [[ViewerGenderConfusion a whack of the fandom]]. Even Candace thought that he was a girl when they were kids!
* HandsOffParenting: He notes that his parents travel all over the world and sometimes forget to contact. Somewhat justified in that Julius '''is''' an adult, so they know he can take care of himself.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: [[UpToEleven Oh jeez!]]
* {{Metrosexual}}: He's so flaming, he isn't allowed into barns, but he's still a bachelor.
* OppositesAttract: His relationship with Candace.
* SayItWithHearts: Just about every line he has ends with a star, heart, or musical note.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sweet potato dishes and dishes that contain pumpkins.
* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler: Was this to Candace when they were kids. He bullied her, and when Luna confronts him about it he says that he did it because he liked her.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: You could almost pass it off as him having dyed it--he ''does'' have streaks in his hair--but his kids in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' prove that he's a natural purple.

!!Toby
Local fisherman, a laid-back young man who likes taking naps in the shade and fishing his days away.
* BrilliantButLazy: He actually is quite knowledgeable about nature.
* DubNameChange: He is named "Tao" in Japan.
* EngagingConversation: How he proposes in his rival heart event.
* EyesAlwaysShut: It appears to be genetic. His uncle Ozzie, cousin Paolo, and his potential son with Renee, Matt, all have them as well.
** {{Lampshaded}} with Matt: "Everyone tells me he's got my eyes."
** Though when he does open them during some {{Cut Scene}}s, they're [[spoiler: GreenEyes]].
** Your child with him in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' has [[spoiler: GreenEyes]] as well.
* HappilyMarried: If he marries Renee, they're never seen fighting in their rival cutscenes or after.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Romancing him reveals that he's aware that others don't have high standards for him because of his easygoing nature, and as a result, he has low self-esteem.]]
* {{Kimono}}: Has Japanese formal wear during his wedding, and regularly wears a haori, even in winter.
* MeaningfulName: In Japanese his name is Tao, after the East Asian philosophy that fits with his character.

* TheQuietOne: He's not exactly shy, however.
** [[spoiler:When it concerns his hobbies, at least. His own self-worth is a different story.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Unsurprisingly, seafood dishes.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: More like grey.

!!Paolo
A little boy who hangs out at the lighthouse. Toby is his cousin.
* CheerfulChild
* MissingMom

!!Renee
A young woman who works at her parents' ranch. She's easygoing and spends her spare time fishing.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her Fall/Winter outfit.

!!Gill
An arrogant and saucy boy, and the son of Mayor Hamilton.
* AllThereInTheManual: Well, all there on [[http://www.bokumono.com/series/wakuwaku/ss/ss2.html the offical website]] (English translation is in the second post down [[http://www.fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=122202&start=60 here]]) anyway; his backstory, which turns him from a plain JerkWithAHeartOfGold to a full JerkassWoobie.
* DefrostingIceKing: Becomes this if your character befriends or courts him.
* DubNameChange: He is named "Gil" in Japan.
* IcyBlueEyes: Goes well with his personality.
* IdiotHair: Though he's presumably quite intelligent.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His grumpiness belies a genuinely noble attitude.
** JerkassWoobie: [[spoiler: His mom died when he was seven. His father completely [[HeroicBSOD shut down]], so he had to take over as head of household. At ''seven''. Eventually he managed to make his dad all better, but ''really''...]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: If you court and propose to him in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', he will tell the PC that he was in love with her from the moment they first met (despite acting rather aloof and cold at first).
* MissingMom: [[spoiler: Turns out she's not so much ''missing'' as ''dead''...]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As it turns out, more to his mother than his dad in terms of hairstyle.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tomato dishes, especially ratatouille. [[spoiler:Tragically, it's because they remind him of his mother's cooking.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: He often acts pushy towards/belittles the main character though he greatly respects them for restoring the island and will still tease them now and then if they become his close friend or girlfriend.
---> '''Gill''': Whatever... [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not like I'm happy just because I got to see you]], HelloInsertNameHere... * blush*

[[folder:Bachelorettes]]
!!Anissa
A gentle, graceful young woman who lives on her parents' farm, which is where she's usually found. She is interested in medicine and healing.
* BeautyMark: Near the outside corner of her left eye.
* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: More mild than most, but the reason she gives for not liking cocktails is that they give her awful headaches.
* CoolBigSis: To Taylor.
* DubNameChange: She is known as "Anise" in Japan.
* FearOfThunder
* FloralThemeNaming: Only in the Japanese version. There, her name is Anise, and her brother's name is Thyme.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]
* OneeSama: Her brother Taylor thinks very highly of her.
* RapunzelHair: Goes lower than her waist.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Gentle, graceful, flower motifs, yep.

!!Maya
A waitress at the inn. Loves fine cuisine, but couldn't make it herself if her life depended on it.
* BigEater: Given how much she likes to talk about food.
* TheCutie: Not surprising, given what her [[SickeninglySweethearts parents are like.]]

* ThroughHerStomach
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She likes anything that's cooked, but especially snacks (pies, cakes etc.)
[[/folder]]

^
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He tends to have a snarky way of speaking and teases or outright insults Maya up until he marries. He can be pretty mean to you too but if you befriend him he warms up to you.
* NoAccountingForTaste: He and Maya, sometimes. Their daughter Dakota even points out the fact that they fight all the time, and even cites it as the reason she'll never get a younger sister.
* ParentalAbandonment: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'', he says that he can't remember his parents' faces. However, what happened to them is never mentioned (And the subject is never brought up in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]''). WordOfGod has declared him an orphan.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Maya's Energetic Girl.
* SupremeChef: To contrast with his counterpart, Maya. He even says, when they get married, that she doesn't have to try and cook any more--just taste-test.
* PurpleEyes: Which your children with him, and his daughter Dakota if he and Maya get married, inherit.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dishes with oranges in them.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A.

!!Julius
Works at the Blacksmith with Mira. In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', he works at the accessory shop as a jewelry designer.
* BishieSparkle: His is even special-er amidst the normal BishieSparkle of the other candidates, because his sparkles have ''roses'' in them.
* {{Bishonen}}
* {{Bowdlerize}}: In Japan, the first rival event between him and Candace in ''Animal Parade'' has him getting mad at Candace because [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow he thinks she thinks]] he's a crossdresser. In America, this was changed to him thinking she thinks he's... ''[[UnusualEuphemism short.]]'' In some sense, this makes it funnier--Candace never ''does'' say why, so one could interpret it as Julius being oblivious to how camp he acts.

!!Craig
Anissa's father, he runs the local farm and seed shop along with his wife, Ruth. He is not the biggest talker, and he and Ruth tend to fight a lot.
* DrowningMySorrows: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', until the yellow bell is rung, which restores the power of earth to the land and allows his farm to thrive again.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When you first meet him in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'', he calls you an idiot over and over again. However, Ruth comments that he actually seems to like you, and he does warm up as you befriend him.
* LazyHusband: Although, in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' (and ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'' to a lesser extent), he's more demoralized than anything and does become more active as the island improves.
* PerpetualFrowner

!!Ruth
Anissa's mother. Runs the local farm and seed shop along with her husband, Craig. Usually, the two of them are fighting. Ruth frequently gets angry at her husband's slacking off on working the fields. As a result, she is rather overworked.

!!Jin
A doctor who works at the local clinic.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Became a doctor [[spoiler:after trying to save his first wife from terminal illness to no avail.]]
* DubNameChange: He is known as "Won" in Japan
* {{Expy}}: His resemblance to [[NamesTheSame Jin]] from Anime/SamuraiChamploo has not gone [[http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/object/921/921669/jin_samurai-champloo_pictureboxart_160w.jpg unnoticed]].
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect
* HospitalHottie
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has his hair up in a ponytail. It still manages to reach his shoulders.
* {{Megane}}
* [[spoiler: SecondLove]]: ''Very'' rare for the ''Franchise/HarvestMoon'' series. If not your female Player Characters, then Anissa is this for him.
* StoicSpectacles
** AdjustingYourGlasses: His talking gesture.
* [[FrontierDoctor Town Doctor]]
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He hates cold drinks, mostly cocktails.

* [[spoiler: BrainwashedAndCrazy]]: [[spoiler: Not so much brainwashed as obsessive, but after finding the Wizard's crystal ball he becomes [[SanitySlippage a little bit insane...]]]]

* [[spoiler:{{Telepathy}}]]: Temporarily, anyway, [[spoiler: by using the Wizard's CrystalBall]].
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: He calls the crystal ball [[LordOfTheRings "my precious"]] when refusing to give it back to the wizard.]]

!!Maya
A waitress at the inn. Loves fine cuisine, but couldn't make it herself if her life depended on it.
