History Characters / StoryOfSeasons

The Harvest Goddess is an available, special love interest in VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS,

The resident deity, who always lives in a pond somewhere. She is usually contacted by tossing a crop into the water as an offering.

* BareYourMidriff
* BraggingRightsReward: In many of the games where you can marry the Harvest Goddess, she's this. Because by the time you're capable of marrying her, you've usually done everything else but get married. And (depending on the game) even if you do marry her, she still lives in her pond and you have to toss in an offering to speak to her.
* CrystalDragonJesus
* InterspeciesRomance: In games where she can be married, if you choose to do so.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: In the games in which she's an eligible bride.
* NatureSpirit
* PhysicalGod
* RapunzelHair: Her ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree Of Tranquility]]/[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' incarnation has this.
* TookALevelInJerkAss: Her ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoon64 64]]'' self, while we hear little from her, doesn't seem to have her infamous ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature Mineral Town]]'' personality.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's crazy for strawberries, no matter which game.
** In ''Animal Parade'', her favourite gifts are top quality honey and royal jelly.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her hair or clothing almost always has blue hues.
* VerbalTic: (''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS DS]]'', ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island of Happiness]]'' & ''Tale of Two Towns'' versions) She sings her own entry fanfare ("DUM Da Da DAAAA!")
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Though it ranges from purple->green->blue->pink

!!The Witch Princess

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hm_witch_princess.gif]]

The Witch Princess originated as a character in the [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS DS]] and [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island]] games, making her out to be a long-standing rival to the Harvest Goddess. Some games shorten her name to simply 'Witch'.\\

She tricks people and plays pranks, often for nothing but her own amusement or simply out of boredom, with the results varying. Her design has been updated and tweaked for her various appearances, though the standard of having long, blonde hair and wearing purple remains.\\

The Witch Princess appears as an available, special love interest in the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS'', ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island of Happiness/Sunshine Islands]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning A New Beginning]]''.\\

The Witch in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' is a different character. For tropes relating to her, head [[Characters/HarvestMoonAnimalParade here]].

The Witch in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' is a different character. For tropes relating to her, head to the appropriate [[Characters/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Character Sheet]].

A trickster witch originating from the ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS DS]]/[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island]]'' series. She has a rivalry with the Harvest Goddess for some silly reason. ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'''s Witch Princess is different from the series' usual one - for tropes relating to her, go to the page for ''[[Characters/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of]] [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tranquility]]'' characters.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS Harvest Moon DS]]'', marrying the Witch Princess requires you to be neglectful beyond a ChaoticStupid level.
* ChaoticStupid: Her idea of fun is playing pranks on the Harvest Goddess, and her idea of a suitable bachelor is one who plays pranks on the townspeople. For these reasons, your relationship with ''everyone'' will go down if you decide to marry her instead of one of the other girls.
** In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS Harvest Moon DS]]'', at least. In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island of Happiness]]'', ''Sunshine Islands'', and ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning A New Beginning]]'', where she's also an eligible bachelorette, she has no special requirements.
* CuteWitch
* ElegantGothicLolita: Her ''Sunshine Islands'' and ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning A New Beginning]]'' wedding dresses.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island of Happiness]]''/''Sunshine Islands'', she has a big thing for teddy bears.
* {{Immortality}}: CompleteImmortality or TheAgeless, presumably, considering her being ReallySevenHundredYearsOld.
* {{Jerkass}}: She doesn't get along with the Harvest Goddess, and can sometimes be pretty mean. For instance, the typhoons and blizzards that cause you to lose a day of productivity in summer and winter are her fault (or at least, she takes "credit" for them).
* MayflyDecemberRomance: If your character ever aged a day.
* NoNameGiven
* NotAMorningPerson: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS DS]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island of Happiness]]''/''Sunshine Islands'', she'll comment on being sleepy if you visit her in the morning. In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning A New Beginning]]'', she straight-up sleeps until noon.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Towards the Harvest Goddess. One of the battles between the two in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness Island Of Happiness]]'' amounts to a staring contest.
* TheTrickster: She can be mean, but she's never malicious, not even really towards the Harvest Goddess. She just likes to play pranks.

Oak Tree Town is populated by many colorful characters, including twelve potential {{love interest}}s - six male, six female - as well as several [=NPCs=], and yourself. It's worth getting to know all of them.

[[folder:The Player Character]]
!! Annie/Minori and Johnny/Ibuki
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a789bd305ee3b50182e3a01f9a196408.png]]
Though you had a perfectly good life in the big city, since childhood you have dreamed of becoming a farmer. When you received the pamphlet offering a place at a farm in Oak Tree Town, you responded enthusiastically, and were accepted because of the passion with which you wrote your application. Now you must make a life for yourself in the Highlands north of town, learning the trade and becoming one of the greatest farmers the little community has ever known.

* BeautifulDreamer: A humorous variant, as noted below. During one scripted event with himself and Angela, Marian declares the player a member of the "Beautiful Dreamers Alliance."
** Played straight in at least a few of the romances. For example, after marrying Klaus, he may comment to his bride that "there's never a dull moment when I watch you sleep."
* ButThouMust: During any of the tutorial events, you can't leave the area until you finish doing whatever Eda (or anyone else who might be teaching you) has instructed you to do.
** Despite how you might feel about it, Witchie decides that you will be her loyal minion.
* CallToAgriculture: According to the game book, you were living a perfectly satisfactory life in the big city when you learned about the vacancy in Oak Tree Town, and jumped at it.
* CharacterCustomization: This feature returns from the previous installment.
* DudeLooksLikeALady[=/=]{{Bifauxnen}}: Thanks to hairstyles that can be applied to ''both genders'', you can give your male avatar a girl's hairstyle or have a female avatar with a boyishly short haircut. See also WholesomeCrossdresser below.
* ExtremeDoormat: Or else a very, ''very'' [[NiceGuy Nice Guy/Gal]]. Within seconds of meeting Elise, they're doing favors for her seemingly just because she commanded it.
* {{Farm Boy}}/FarmGirl: If they weren't this trope in a farming game like this, it would be very bad.
* FashionDesigner: In one of the festivals, the player can dress a model and be ranked based on what they chose.
* HappilyMarried: Should you romance and then marry one of your neighbors, you become this.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Although the 'canon' names are Annie for a female or Johnny for a male, you can name your character anything you like, as long as it doesn't have more than six letters.
* TheHero
* HeroicMime: From the player's perspective, you seem to communicate chiefly in sign language and VisibleSilence. Everyone understands you perfectly well, though.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: You seem to be an example of this to the rest of the community, at least to judge by some comments Klaus may make during the course of his romance; you are too innocent to understand what he's saying.
* InformedAttribute: The in-game reason Veronica gives for allowing you to redesign the landscaping of the different parts of town is because Gunther tells her you have a knack for it. Exactly what prompts him to make this observation is unknown.
* JumpedAtTheCall: They literally got a flyer in the mail requesting a farmer, thought "why not?", and applied for the position.
* NiceHat: The male player wears one. The female player, on the other hand, wears a kerchief with a [[FlowerInHerHair flower]] on it. You can also make or purchase other hats for either one to wear.
* ProtagonistWithoutAPast
* RenaissanceMan: Everyone calls you a farmer, but before the end you'll likely also be a fisherman, a cheese maker, a tailor, a winemaker, a potter, a chef, a landscaper, ''and'' a {{shopkeeper}}.
* {{Shopkeeper}}: After you meet certain requirements, you're given your own stall at the Trade Depot to sell anything you want.
* VirtualPaperDoll: At the very start of the game, you can customize your character. You can change your skin tone, hair, etc. Once your house has been upgraded to include a closet, you can alter these details at will, and can also dress your avatar in any clothing and accessories you make or buy.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: An option, since {{Gendered Outfit}}s don't exist in this game, and you can have access to (and wear) every single piece of clothing, no matter if you're a boy or a girl.
* YesMan: Since they [[HeroicMime can't talk,]] if someone asks them to do something in a [[CutSceneIncompetence cut scene]], chances are they will go along with it.
* YouCanSeeMe: Your character is the only human in Oak Tree Town who is able to see the helpful little sprites who serve Dessie and inspect the crops. Rather than being terrified by this prospect, the sprites are ''delighted''.

[[folder:Bachelors]]
!! Fritz
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/62a55f75aa539f10725659c8652b614e.jpg]]

After Veronica and Eda, Fritz is the first resident of the village you meet.

* AffectionateNickname: He calls Eda "Granny" and, less frequently, addresses Otmar as "Gramps."
* CallToAgriculture: Much like the player character, Fritz was living in the city before he decided to run a farm in Oak Tree Town.
* FarmBoy
* FieryRedhead: He's energetic, friendly, and a redhead.
* FirstGuyWins: If the female protagonist romances him.
* {{Foil}}: To Elise. He's a farmer like her, but isn't nearly as successful and wears tattered clothes. However, he's significantly kinder and won't hesitate to lend a hand to anyone that needs help.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: He likes literally every animal in the game, and will even react excitedly if you give him an insect as a gift.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He comes close to being this, given how many of the other characters seem to find him mildly annoying.
* FriendlyEnemy: One of your four rival farmers.
* GiftedlyBad: Thinks highly of his farming, though he consistently performs poorly in crop events. Nadi even fears for the crops he grows and Angela notes how the state of his farm must reflect the quality of his produce.
* GreenEyedMonster: To a small extent. During the course of his romance arc, it's revealed that he's always been a little jealous of Raeger for being so popular with girls.
* GoodIsDumb: He's not the brightest, but he probably is the most likely to help someone in trouble.
* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: He'll never tell you that he used to be an ordinary student. ...Oh.
* InformedPoverty: He has patches on his clothes, and occasionally makes remarks that imply he doesn't have much money. Even if he marries the potentially wealthier player character, it doesn't seem to change things much.
** LandPoor: He owns his farm and everything on it, but doesn't seem to have the money for its basic upkeep. Gunther (assisted by the player) donates the materials and labor involved in repairing the house roof at one point.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's a mild version of the trope, but he can come across this way. Whether he's congratulating you on winning a competition or making a toast at your wedding (unless you're marrying him), Fritz almost always makes a comment about how he's going to be doing the same thing at some point.
* {{Keet}}
* TheKlutz: According to one episode of ''Oak Tree Times'' on the television, Fritz has apparently been banned from Mistel's antique shop following an incident in which he sneezed, injured his head, and proceeded to trample around destroying things in his dizziness.
* LoveYouAndEverybody: In the same episode, Mistel states that this is Fritz's basic nature.
-->'''Mistel:''' He considers everybody in town to be his friend. It's like he's never met a stranger.
* MomentKiller: If a female player romances Mistel and gives the right answers to his pink flower event, he will get ready to kiss her, only to have Fritz loudly enter the room before he can do anything.
* NiceGuy: He always has to help someone if he sees them in trouble. He also calls Raeger a nice person on one occasion and says how grateful he is for Raeger's help. Nadi's dialogue seems to imply that Fritz talks to him regularly as if he's a friend, even though Nadi isn't exactly shy about saying that he's annoying. And despite being your rival, Fritz always encourages you to do your best and congratulates you on your victories.
* TheObiWannabe: His rival events basically consist of him being convinced that he's the protagonist's mentor and can show them the ropes of farming, fishing, etc. despite them being perfectly competent (and actually ''moreso'' than him).
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's a grown man, but looks (and sometimes acts) much younger.
* PointlessBandAid: On his left cheek. So far it seems to only come off on his wedding day.
* ThePollyanna: The game book describes him as a male one of these.
* RealMenCook: In one stage of the romance arc, he borrows Raeger's kitchen to cook dinner for you.
* SickeninglySweethearts: If romanced, you will encounter a cutscene in which Raeger complains that Fritz just won't shut up about how wonderful his girlfriend is.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: HQ Crab Soup, which is made by combining mitten crab with egg and mushroom.
** GuideDangIt: Mitten crab can only be caught in one fishing area, and only if your fishing rod is fully upgraded. Said upgrade can only be made by purchasing the blueprint from the absolute last vendor to set up in the Vendor Depot.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Fritz seems to have this going on, as implied by the ever-present PointlessBandAid.

!! Kamil
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d52966a87f084c57a0e9cdfa8aba62b8.jpg]]

Kamil has come to Oak Tree Town in search of new and beautiful flowers for his arrangements. Returning character from ''Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns''.

* {{Bishonen}}
* TheCharmer: The game book describes him this way.
* CutenessProximity: His story card, which you get after marriage, implies that he has this towards cats.
* DifficultySpike: Unlike most of the other love interests, Kamil does not have a flower on his dialogue box whose color indicates your friendship level. Pushing the left "shoulder" button on your DS will provide a clue, however.
* DubNameChange: Subverted. He was called Cam in ''Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns'', but went back to his original name Kamil in this game.
* FlowerMotif: He's a florist; his passion is flowers.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Kamil becomes part of Maurice's extended family by virtue of living at the inn. For his romance arc to proceed, you have to make sure you have sufficient friendship points with both Lillie and Melanie.
* MeaningfulName: Kamil is very close to the Czech surname Kamel, which was the name of the scientist for whom the camellia flower was named. It's also an actual Polish name.
* NiceGuy: He's very happy if he hears you tell Melanie that you fell in love with him because he's so kind.
* NiceHat
* PairTheSpares: He and Licorice are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, mostly because they both live at the inn and are always seen standing together at the various town events.
* ThePhilosopher: Some of his dialogue makes him seem like this.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He's a very cool guy who wears purple.
* RealMenHateSugar: He absolutely detests sweets and you will lose friendship points if you give him desserts as gifts.
* RealMenWearPink: He wears a pink sweater vest under his purple jacket.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tom Yung Goong, made from prawn and mushroom. The recipe comes in a set received upon winning one of the cooking competitions.
* UnlockableContent: Kamil is one of the few love interests who is not in the village from the start. He arrives during year 2, and only if you've unlocked three or more vendors.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Subverted. As his romance arc continues, he admits that he expected this reaction when he told his [[Characters/HarvestMoonTaleofTwoTowns adoptive family]] about wanting to travel in search of new flowers, but was surprised to find they were very supportive.

!! Klaus
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/44a33c2e504aaf61b7818afc015ff8c1.jpg]]

A perfumist by trade, Klaus lives in western Oak Tree Town.

* BadassLongcoat[=/=]RetiredBadass: His badass days are behind him; see below.
* BigBrotherInstinct: If he does the reverse love confession (in which he admits his love for the female protagonist first rather than accepting her ring), he explains that he initially had this for her, but over time it grew into something more.
* TheDandy: His outfit doesn't seem to imply that he would be one to do sweaty labor.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The game book says that Klaus is rumored to have one of these, but "he will neither confirm nor deny it."
** TheReveal: Once you build the television, you can tune in to an interview with an old schoolmate of his. Apparently, [[spoiler:[[http://mollygoodgolly.tumblr.com/post/116175476393/kassies-interview-about-klauss-past-part-1 Klaus formed a gang and won a turf war]].]]
* FormerTeenRebel
* GentlemanAndAScholar: Klaus is extremely gentlemanly, and his work with perfumes is more about the science of fragrance than anything else. Notably, he doesn't have a shop where anyone can purchase what he makes.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Although he's a gentleman to the core, Klaus nevertheless manages to be the biggest source of this sort of thing in the entire game. At the annual concert, if you are in a committed relationship, he may make a remark about "other activities" you can do at home, and invites you to come and visit if you want to know what exactly he's talking about.
** He also, during the second event of his romance arc, may tell you that if you keep being so sweet to all the men, you're going to get "gobbled up by a big bad wolf" on your way home one day.
** When you show him a rabbit, he'll tell you to talk to it about Stranger Danger.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: As noted above. [[spoiler:In his younger days, Klaus - or "Boss" - fought a private war against criminals threatening his hometown, and ''won''.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: He chides the player for being young and naive, but it's clear that he's very embarrassed and inexperienced with romance.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Once he and the female protagonist become an OfficialCouple, he reveals himself to be this more than once. It's especially clear during his final flower event, when he remarks that the entire town loves her and she could probably be with anyone, so he's uncertain that he's good enough for her.
* MayDecemberRomance: Implied, as he makes a few remarks about being too old for the female protagonist, and he worries about her being too naive or accidentally taking advantage of her.
* MeaningfulName: Klaus means "leader in victory." This is apt, given the spoilered event from his past.
* NatureLover: He's fond of long walks in the forest area between your farm and the main town.
* OddFriendship: With Marian; they went to college together. If you have a meal with Klaus after romancing him, he may comment that whenever Marian gets dumped, he calls Klaus, who cooks him dinner and does his best to console him. Marian also attends Klaus's wedding to the female protagonist and is extremely happy for the pair.
* PairTheSpares: He and Iris are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, although the game never presents them as being more than JustFriends. They're very close and chat frequently.
* SelfDeprecation: He calls himself an "old man" on occasion.
* SharpDressedMan: Klaus is the most formally dressed of all the male love interests. He looks very much like a Victorian gentleman, complete with a waistcoat and pocketwatch.
* SmellsSexy: He's a perfumist by profession, and presents the female protagonist with gifts of perfume if she romances him. At the red flower level, he will also tell his girlfriend that she looks good "and you smell good to match."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bouillabaisse, a stew made using almost any kind of fish. The recipe is purchased from Rose Country, the fourth vendor to appear.
* TriangRelations: Klaus and Iris are good friends, and she is often found visiting his home. This factors into his romance line, as the female protagonist and Mistel both read [[MistakenForRomance something into it that isn't there]], and Klaus has to outright declare his love to clear up the matter.
* WhenSheSmiles: After the 'big bad wolf' conversation mentioned above, the female protagonist will leave, and Klaus has a moment alone in which he blushes and mutters to himself about her incredible smile.
* WhiteStallion: Not seen, but referenced during his romance arc. Klaus is a horseback riding enthusiast - the character card seen after your marriage shows him riding in the woods - and his third flower event has him talking about taking you for a ride. He comments that he's not sure he'd be able to find a white horse, nor is he much of a prince.
* WineIsClassy: Most of Klaus's preferred gifts are fruit wines, which you can only give him once you've built a Winery on your farm.

!! Mistel
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7f05e5d39dab982c21605d75644d3126.jpg]]

The young owner of the local antique shop, and Iris's younger brother.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: If the player character is male and romancing Iris, he plays this role to the hilt, teasing his sister about her relationship.
* AnywhereButTheirLips: He's fond of giving cheek kisses during the romance.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's quite feminine looking.
* TheCutie
* ElegantClassicalMusician: He plays the contrabass at the annual town concert.
* TheGadfly: Despite his mostly mature personality, Mistel has a mischievous side, and particularly enjoys pulling the main character's leg if she's dating him.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: If you marry Mistel, some mornings he'll tell you that you were calling his name in your sleep, coyly wondering [[EroticDream what kind of dream you were having]].
* MissingMom[=/=]DisappearedDad: His parents are presumably dead, since Iris raised him.
* MyBelovedSmother: Iris isn't his mother, but it's noted through his arc that Mistel would like to assert greater independence from her mothering.
* NeatFreak: He's very meticulous about keeping his shop neat and clean.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Like Fritz, he looks as if he could be in middle school, but he's old enough to be a bachelor.
* PairTheSpares: He and Agate are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, since they stand together at festivals and he expresses concern for her clumsiness. If you get married and have the luxury package, they both attend and sit together.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He seems to have a fondness for long words.
* ShipperOnDeck: Subtly encourages the male main character to go for his sister.
** He's also a mild one for Klaus and the female character, if they're dating; he's amused by Iris's efforts to push them together, and seems supportive of the idea.
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: If answered correctly, his pink flower event will end with Fritz playing MomentKiller as he's about to kiss the female player. His reponse to this is to "warn" Fritz about things falling off trees.
* {{Shopkeeper}}: He runs the antique shop.
* TheSmartGuy: He likes games where you have to use your head.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Penne Arrabiatta, a pasta dish requiring flour, tomato, and milk, whose recipe can be purchased from the fourth vendor Rose Country.
* TokenMiniMoe: Of the bachelors.
* {{Yandere}}: Subverted and PlayedForLaughs. He talks about not letting you go, even if you wanted, and makes other questionable comments. That being said, he'll let you break up with him should you choose.

!! Nadi
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/de1a437cb436a403524ca4df5cb0e787.jpg]]

Nadi came from a faraway country to work on the grounds of Elise's estate. He specializes in the care of exotic plants.

* BizarreTasteInFood: Unlike the other residents of the village, Nadi ''loves'' Grass Juice. It's actually his favorite gift.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BrutallyHonest: Don't expect him to console you if you lose in a competition; he outright tells you as much. Drop his friendship too low, and he straight up tells you to not talk to him if there's nothing significant going on. He also doesn't sugarcoat his opinions of others, and calls Fritz annoying.
* CutenessProximity: If the player shows him a rabbit, he smiles... [[{{SuspiciouslySpecificDenial}} before immediately saying that he doesn't think it's cute or want to pet it.]] He also grows to really love the adorable Melanie, though he tries to deny it. [[spoiler: A straight example occurs with his children if the player marries him; he doesn't deny at all that he thinks his children are cute.]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* FirstGirlWins: Should the player date him, he reveals that she's his first love, and he was a CelibateHero before dating her.
* GreenEyedMonster: During his romance arc, he has a jealous moment when Giorgio invites the female protagonist to a party.
* HatesSmallTalk: Implied. Talking to him will sometimes result in him telling you that if you have something to say, you should get on with it because he has things to do.
* HeroicFatigue: He works extremely hard and is often tired as a result; he even falls asleep at the table on one of your dates.
* InsecureLoveInterest: When dating the player, he sometimes worries that a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold blunt and unsociable person]] like him isn't dating material. It's part of what prompts his aforementioned GreenEyedMonster moment, as he fears that the player would prefer an outgoing and romantic guy like Giorgio. If the player breaks up with him, he will straight-up admit that it's the best choice the player could have made, and that he was surprised why they even dated him to begin with.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He has minor shades of this. If you encounter him while in the woods or tending your crops on one of the public farmlands and stop to chat, he will be incredulous that you came all this way just to see him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mildly. Compared to the other bachelors, he's a little rougher around the edges, mainly due to being [[BrutalHonesty unabashedly blunt]], but generally a good guy. And despite his nature, he genuinely doesn't want to hurt others' feelings, and becomes sad about it when he realizes he has.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Similarly to Kamil, he becomes part of the extended family living at the inn. To enable his romance to progress, the player character must have a sufficient number of friendship points with Melanie.
* MeaningfulName: He shares his name with one of the largest regions of Fiji, a tropical nation consisting of several islands renowned for their majestic flora. Coincidentally, the actual region is known as one of the ports of entry in Fiji and is a common tourist destination as a result, which can reflect how Nadi has been WalkingTheEarth before arriving in Oak Tree Town.
* NotAMorningPerson: Catch him early in the day, and he'll tell you to go away as he hates mornings.
* PlantPerson: He's very skilled at the care and maintenance of difficult plants.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He has red eyes and is probably the least friendly bachelor.
* ShooTheDog: Once the player becomes close enough with him, he'll tell them to stop talking to him, as knowing him, he'll end up accidentally hurting their feelings one day. Needless to say, the player doesn't listen.
* TheStoic: He's a man of few words.
* TalkAboutTheWeather: During summer, he frequently complains about the heat.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: As noted above, Grass Juice. It's a blend of spinach, eggplant, milk, burdock, and lemon.
** GuideDangIt: The recipe for Grass Juice is among the hardest to acquire. It's only sold by Suzanne, a traveling salesperson, who starts visiting in the fall of your second year. She only shows up periodically, and doesn't always have the recipe with her. (However, unlike Angela and Agate's favorite dishes, Grass Juice ''can'' be obtained as a reward for completing special requests from the Trade Depot.)
* {{Tsundere}}
* UnlockableContent: Like Kamil, he's one of the only love interests not in the game from the beginning; he arrives in your first winter or later, and you have to walk into Elise's farm between 8 to 11:30 on certain days when the weather is sunny to trigger his introduction.
* WalkingTheEarth: He's traveled to many different countries to hone his skill with exotic plants. Since Elise has pretty much offered him a permanent job in Oak Tree Town, though, he's thinking about staying there for good.
* {{Workaholic}}: He wonders if he's this, since he tends to have work on the mind a lot.

!! Raeger
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6068a938082034e0944717a38a987278.jpg]]

Raeger moved to Oak Tree Town to help his grandfather, who ran the town's only restaurant. Since his grandfather's death, he has taken over the business.

* AndYourRewardIsEdible: Eating at his restaurant multiple times results in him gifting you with recipes.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He seems to have something like this for Fritz and Mistel if either of them are romanced; he counsels them on how to treat the female protagonist, and allows Fritz to use his kitchen to prepare a gourmet meal for her.
** He seems to have this for Fritz in general, judging by some of Fritz's remarks; he notes that Raeger's a really {{nice guy}} who helps him out a lot.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BizarreTasteInFood: Although his favorite food item isn't horribly weird (see below), he's also extremely partial to Seaweed.
* ChickMagnet: He's regarded as something of a playboy because of how nice he is to all the women. [[TriangRelations This factors into his romance arc.]] Even Kassie, the hostess of the ''Oak Tree Times'' show, remarks in one episode that the restaurant is popular "for its dishes and also for its dish of an owner."
* DevotedToYou: He says he is this to the player character if he is given a Valentine's Day gift while they are dating.
* HeroicFatigue: He works so hard that at one point, he becomes ill from exhaustion.
* LuminescentBlush: He blushes more easily than most of the other guys.
* ParentalNeglect: His purple flower event reveals that his parents were divorced, and his mother and grandfather were too busy running the restaurant to pay attention to him; see below.
* ParentalObliviousness[=/=]GrandparentalObliviousness: When ill as noted above, he's touched that you're taking care of him; after his parents divorced when he was small, he was raised by his mom and her dad, and they were always too busy to pay much attention to him when he was sick.
* ThePerfectionist: Has shades of this in his first heart event.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Even though he mentions he was raised by both his mother and grandfather in his romance arc, he only ever talks about his grandfather in normal dialogue, suggesting that he felt more of a connection with him than with his mother.
* RealMenCook
* SharpDressedMan: He wears a nice suit under his chef's apron; among the men, he's second only to Klaus in his fashion sense.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sea Urchin Bowl, made with sea urchin and rice. The recipe is part of a set received for winning one of the various competitions.
* {{Workaholic}}: He works even while seriously ill during his purple flower event. The correct answer in the event is to help him work; asking him to rest will cause you to lose some favor with him.

!! Agate
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/40c9efdfad2ebee032432a83a55e5b61.jpg]]

Agate is the ranger at Safari Park. She lives in what initially seems to be an unoccupied house in western Oak Tree Town.

* BadassAdorable: Sort of. She goes straight into dangerous situations and can come out only slightly scarred.
* BeautifulDreamer: In her CG if you marry her, and in a SleepCute variant when she's surrounded by animals sleeping next to her.
* ClingyJealousGirl: If you're in a relationship. In her Pink Flower event, she spots you talking to Lillie. She doesn't know why she has a burning feeling, and the male PC has to explain to her that she was feeling jealous; she then mentions a female monkey having a similar experience when her mate was playing with another female. However, since the male PC wants to remain faithful to her, she gets over her jealousy and they go on a date.
* CrashIntoHello: In her White Flower Event, she asks the male player if he can play with her two fox friends, named "Mr. Fox and his friend". When you accept, HilarityEnsues when they become too playful and Agate ends up crashing into him by accident.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Her clumsiness is often commented on by Mistel, and is a great source of worry (and annoyance) for him.
* TheDitz: During a dinner conversation with her if married, she becomes offended that male PC thinks she would be the type to mix up sugar and salt. She then mentions buying 2 packs of salt when she just wanted salt and sugar. She ends up buying ''more'' packs of salt as a result.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: She loves animals, penguins being a particular favorite, and is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of animals and plants.
* GenkiGirl: She's got a lot of energy, especially when it comes to animals.
* GuideDangIt: If you talk to Veronica at the Guild hall, Agate will introduce herself, and thereafter she can help you shuttle your animals to the Safari Park to graze. You can also just hop on your horse and ride there, but you won't have the option of taking your animals to the park unless you employ Agate in this manner.
* NatureLover: Both in personality and by profession.
* PairTheSpares: She and Mistel are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, since they stand together at festivals and he expresses concern for her clumsiness. If you get married and have the luxury package, they both attend and sit together.
* RockThemeNaming: She's named after a stone, probably to highlight her connection with the natural world.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: As noted above, early in her romance you'll come across her playing with some foxes. If you agree to join them, she communicates as much to the animals, and reports that they're very happy about it.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cold Noodles, made by combining flour, egg, cucumber and tomato.
** GuideDangIt: Like Nadi's Grass Juice, you can only get the recipe for Cold Noodles from Suzanne the traveling salesperson, ''if'' she happens to show up with it in her inventory.
* UnlockableContent: Agate is one of the few love interests not already in town when you arrive, although she is much easier to unlock than other examples. Just go to the Guild Hall and speak to Veronica any time after the first day of fall in your first year.

!! Angela
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e0ae70822e210199c5cd717915a6c3da.jpg]]

Veronica's daughter and the nurse in Marian's clinic.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Lillie, who brings it up if you catch the two of them in the Guild together.
* DisappearedDad: Her father is always mentioned in past tense, and if Angela is romanced, he's eventually revealed to be dead.
* HospitalHottie: She's never seen without her nursing uniform.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: She thinks you're a little strange if you tell her that you wish to be better friends.
* {{Kuudere}}
* {{Meganekko}}: The only love interest with glasses.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: Possible. In order to advance the romance arc with Angela, you also need to have a strong friendship with Veronica.
* PrimAndProperBun
* TheReliableOne: She's pleased to be described this way.
* SpotOfTea: Her favorite gift is Fall Herb Tea; she also loves receiving other teas or tea leaves.
* TheStoic: Working in a hospital made her this way, given all the bloody incidents she must come across.
** StoicSpectacles
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: As noted above, Fall Herb Tea. Combine fall tea leaves with any of the herbs.
** GuideDangIt: This is yet another recipe from the hit-or-miss offerings of Suzanne the traveling salesperson.
* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl]]: A major part of her motivation - she has to earn the approval of her mother (and the rest of the village) to eventually take over as guildmistress when Veronica retires.
* WhenSheSmiles: She has a lovely Mona Lisa-esque smile during interactions that increase her friendship, and the trope is particularly evident in her ending CG if you marry her.

!! Elise
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ab9c68d508535535174dfc11b674f221.jpg]]

A nobleman's daughter who decided that farming would be fun.

* AbusiveParents: Possibly. Her father seems to be very emotionally neglectful, and her mother is never mentioned.
* AlphaBitch
** LovableAlphaBitch
* BigFancyHouse: She lives in a grand estate just north of the town square, until/unless you marry her and she moves to your farm.
* BitchAlert: Her introductory cutscene has her mistake you for a servant, order you to do work for her, kick you out for trespassing, and say she's being charitable about it.
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of her rivalry events, she learns to be kinder to people, appreciate farm life, and resolves to actively participate in managing her farm.
* CompetitionFreak: She certainly acts like one any time you challenge her. If you win a competition (such as cooking or fashion), she might behave like one of these even if she's ''not'' one of your fellow competitors - she talks about how you were lucky but supposes that congratulations are in order anyway.
* DeathGlare: Gives one when she's really mad.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: She has five ''rivalry'' events which must be completed before the romance arc can even begin; completing them all is necessary in order to achieve one of the trophies.
** DifficultySpike: Once the five rivalry events are done, she also has an additional romance event beyond the four that other love interests have.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Almost all of her hated gifts, including her -800 FP gift, are some manner of fish dish.
* ElegantClassicalMusician: She plays the violin at the annual town concert.
* FirstGirlWins: If you romance her. She's the first bachelorette you meet.
* {{Foil}}: To Fritz. She's a farmer like him, but is significantly more successful and incredibly wealthy. However, she's a SpoiledBrat that always thinks of herself first and is incredibly short-tempered.
* FriendlyEnemy: One of your four rival farmers, and arguably the least friendly (at least until her CharacterDevelopment).
* HairDecorations: Has ribbons in her hair.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Once CharacterDevelopment kicks in.
* LonelyRichKid: Due to [[FreudianExcuse her family preferring her sister]]. She buries this by being snobby and mean.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Easily has the most hair of anyone in the game. She seems to be the girliest of all the bachelorettes, and has hair that reaches almost to her hips.
* MeanBoss: Confirmed by some of the dialogue you receive by talking to her employees. One of them remarks that she'd like to get through the day without receiving a "verbal beating." Almost all of her employees have something mean to say about her, or how horrible she is as a boss. However...
** BenevolentBoss: After her CharacterDevelopment, Elise is much more lenient with and nicer to her employees. If you marry her, she even grants them her estate as thanks for their service.
* MistakenForServant: Thanks to an error by one of her employees, this is how you meet her. When she realizes the mistake, she has you thrown out for trespassing.
* NoblewomansLaugh: "Ohohohoho!" She has the pose and everything.
* PimpedOutDress: Her usual outfit. It's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]], of course.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her entire outfit consists of varying shades of pink. Her room is very pink and girly too.
* ProperLady: Hinted at by one of her staff. If you wander around inside her house and speak to the various employees, one of them will praise Elise for her exquisite table manners.
* RichBitch: She can come across this way, especially when you first meet her.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Nobility, not royalty, at least judging by the fact that her servants call her Lady Elise. She doesn't really do a lot of farming herself at first, but she does oversee everything, and as part of her CharacterDevelopment she resolves to take a more active hand in tending her farm.
* SpoiledBrat: She's the daughter of a millionaire and tends to think mostly about herself. However...
** SpoiledSweet: Once her CharacterDevelopment kicks in.
* StoryBreakerPower: As she says to Veronica, she would be willing to simply buy the fields over which you and the other farmers are expected to compete. Since this would remove the main plot entirely, Veronica handwaves it away by saying that the rivalry will help the town.
* SweetTooth: She adores desserts.
* TookALevelInKindness: Her rival events deal with her depending less on her servants and helping them out on the farm herself.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate Fondue. Blend cocoa powder, milk, flour, and strawberry, once you get the recipe from a set won in a competition.
* TheUnfavorite: Implied. If you talk to her at the fireworks festival in summer, she recalls how her father used to have lavish fireworks for her sister's birthday, and notes wistfully that he loves her sister a lot.

!! Iris
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8e122878bf4058f76dd0eda16102db20.jpg]]

* InsecureLoveInterest: Despite her successes, Iris actually lacks confidence, and you can help to bolster it.
* LongHairIsFeminine: The only girl in town with more hair than Iris is Elise.
* MayDecemberRomance: Implied by her comment about being an older woman.
* MostWritersAreWriters: The game book notes that she has published several books in a variety of genres. She references this often in her dialogue; she will mention having a great idea to send to her editor, or ask the player character for suggestions for new stories.
* NotAMorningPerson: She's pleasant enough in the mornings, but will comment that she envies the player character's morning energy, as she's more of a night owl herself.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Her dress includes a black corset, which creates a CleavageWindow.
* PairTheSpares: She and Klaus are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, although the game never presents them as being more than JustFriends.
* PeekABangs
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: What she wants to hear during the final {{scripted event}} of her romance arc. [[spoiler:She's actually acting out her most recently-written scene with her boyfriend, but he doesn't know that.]]
* PromotionToParent: She raised her little brother Mistel.
* ShipperOnDeck: For her good friend Klaus and the female protagonist, if they start dating.
** RomanticFalseLead: She subtly plays this role in Klaus's final flower event, purely for the purpose of helping to move their romance forward. Her brother is amused.
* SpotOfTea: She enjoys tea and reacts positively if given tea as a gift; she also invites the male protagonist to join her for some tea during the second part of her romance.
* TalkAboutTheWeather: One of her most common remarks during the winter season is about how much she dislikes the cold.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Borscht. This soup is made by mixing carrot, cabbage, tomato, onion, and an herb.
** GuideDangIt: The ''recipe'' is easy to acquire; Silk Country will begin selling it during your first autumn. The ''ingredients'', however, can be tricky, since each of the four vegetables are grown in a different season.

!! Licorice
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a4a85ad61d144880a060998e356f1e44.jpg]]

Licorice is a dedicated botanist from far away. Returning character from ''Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns''.

* BerserkButton: She gets upset if people laugh at her about her theories.
* BrainyBrunette
* DifficultySpike: Unlike most of the other love interests, Licorice does not have a flower on her dialogue box whose color indicates your friendship level. Pushing the left "shoulder" button on your DS will provide a clue, however.
* DubNameChange: Subverted. She was called Reina in ''Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns'', but went back to her original name Licorice in this game.
* FailedASpotCheck: When you first meet her, she's so deeply engrossed in her work that she doesn't even notice you're there.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: If you pick up a wild animal (like a rabbit) and show it to her, she will patently disapprove of restricting its freedom.
* GeniusDitz: Licorice is not stupid - but she is so intently focused on her studies that it makes her somewhat scatterbrained about other things.
* MeaningfulName: Licorice is the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquorice root of a plant]] from which a sweet extract is drawn to make licorice candy. (An [[SpellMyNameWithAnS alternate hypothesis]] is another plant: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoris_%28plant%29 lycoris]].)
* {{Nephewism}}: She trained at her [[Characters/HarvestMoonTaleofTwoTowns uncle's]] fruit orchard.
* PairTheSpares: She and Kamil are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, mostly because they both live at the inn and are always seen standing together at the various town events.
* PlantPerson: She firmly believes that plants have spirits of their own, and even talks to them.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Soybean Salad, made by mixing soybean and cabbage. Dine often enough at Raeger's restaurant and he will eventually give you the recipe as a gift.
* UnlockableContent: She's another of the rare love interests who comes to the village after your arrival, and in fact may be the last one to appear.
** GuideDangIt: Triggering her appearance requires walking into a specific part of the forest at a specific time of day.

!! Lillie
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/349b4847fd4199bad9ae61f14558d942.jpg]]

Daughter of innkeeper Maurice, Lillie is a minor local celebrity.

* {{Adorkable}}: At several points during the romance, such as when she's trying to work up the nerve to ask you out.
* BrainyBrunette: If you express admiration for her work, she is pleased and tells you that she studied very hard to do what she does.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Angela, whom she's known since they were children, and to whom she affectionately refers as her BFF.
* CoolBigSis: She dotes on her little sister Melanie, the town's resident CheerfulChild. You must have a good friendship level with Melanie for the romance with Lillie to proceed.

* FirstGuyWins: Lillie explains, at the culmination of her romance arc, that you are her very first boyfriend.
* HairDecorations: She has white ribbons in her hair.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Like her little sister.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She and Melanie both take a shine to Kamil and, to a slightly lesser extent, Nadi when they move into the inn; as noted above, a female player character has to have good friendship levels with both girls for their romances to proceed.
* MotorMouth: Lillie notes that she tends to lose control of her mouth when she's nervous, leading to a lot of babbling.
* NiceGuy: In the earliest stage of her romance, you see her talking to various residents who are thanking her for helping them in one way or another.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She lives at home with her dad and sister, but works in television and is old enough to get married.
* PerpetualSmiler: It's rare to see Lillie without a cheerful expression.
* RescueRomance: A minor example; at one point you save her from falling into the river.
* SpeechImpediment: Lillie is prone to stuttering when she gets embarrassed.
* SweetTooth: Her favorite gift is Chocolate Ice Cream, and she loves receiving other sweet things as well.
* TalkAboutTheWeather: A good thing, in her case - meteorology is her specialty and she's happy to share her knowledge.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate Ice Cream, made by mixing milk, ice, and cocoa powder. The recipe is easily purchased from Silk Country after your first summer, but it takes a long time to get the cacao needed to make cocoa powder.

!! Eda
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/632e06924ddc2258cf13710ea26f6451.png]]

Your next-door neighbor, Eda, lets you live with her for your first few days in Oak Tree Town, as your farm is not quite ready. She's basically a walking tutorial for the player in how to tend crops and livestock.

* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Veronica leads a funeral for her after her death, and a headstone is erected for her by the riverside. It is located in the far corner of her farm.]]
* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:As sad as everyone is at her funeral, ''no one'' ever mentions Eda again once it's over.]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted once you unlock all seven vendors. Veronica will invite you to a party in the Trade Depot, where she remarks that she wishes Madame Eda were here to see what you've accomplished. Afterwards you'll receive a letter in the mail from Eda that she wrote in advance.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: She can't maintain all her crops on her own, and her farm will eventually become barren. She'll also stop showing up to festivals. [[spoiler: This is due to her health slowly deteriorating, leading to her death in your first Winter.]]
** [[spoiler: When you open up the game for the very first time, you get a statement that no life lasts forever, and that the game hopes to help children understand how much value there is to life.]]
* FriendlyEnemy: One of your four rival farmers, though by far the least rival-like, and also the easiest to defeat; she only has one of the public farmlands.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Once you promise to take care of her farm, Eda assures you she's had a good life and will leave with no regrets.]]
* GrannyClassic
* HappilyMarried: She seems to have been this, though her husband has been gone for some time now.
* ItWasAGift: Hanako the cow, your first farm animal, is gifted to you by Eda. [[spoiler:Could also be regarded as a MementoMacGuffin after Eda dies.]]
* LikeASonToMe: Eda affectionately remarks that having you stay with her until your farm is ready is like having another grandchild. [[spoiler:Presumably this is the reason she bequeaths her farm to you when she dies.]]
** She's also very fond of Fritz, who even calls her "Granny."
* TheMentor: Eda's the one to teach your character all the ins and outs of farm life. [[spoiler:Then she dies during your first winter.]]
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: She's much shorter than your character.
* NiceGuy: Even if you give Eda her most hated item, she'll still take it because she doesn't want it to go to waste.
* RaisedByGrandparents: During one of her scripted events, she tells the player character that when her son moved his family to the city, her grandson wanted to stay on the farm, so she and her late husband raised him for several years.
* ShipperOnDeck: She can be seen as this for a female player character and Fritz. More than once she mentions how much she wants Fritz and the player character to be good friends.
* SomethingAboutARose: She loves flowers and is deeply touched if you bring her any.
* WidowWoman

!! Veronica
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f673b72a9a959b45bd58d99ac35b12a3.png]]
Angela's mother and the head of the Guild, which is essentially the governing body of Oak Tree Town. She's the one who approved your application to become a farmer and instructs you in almost anything Eda doesn't cover.

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Veronica doesn't look like she could be much older than thirty, but she's old enough to have an adult daughter.
* AllWorkVsAllPlay: Veronica is all work, which causes Angela to worry for her health.
* BearerOfBadNews: Usually she's the bearer of ''good'' news - Veronica is always the one at your doorstep to announce the arrival of a new merchant, remind you about a festival, or urge you to hurry to the barn to meet the newborn livestock. She fits this trope, however, when [[spoiler:she wakes you with the sad news that Eda is dying]].
* BirthdayHater: Most of the characters are extremely pleased when you acknowledge their birthdays with a gift. Veronica, on the other hand, initially reacts with an almost despondent expression on her face, lamenting the fact that she's another year older. She then quickly smiles and expresses her appreciation for your thoughtfulness, insisting that she hadn't said anything negative.
* [[BestFriendsInLaw Friend-In-Law]]: Veronica can become this if you marry Angela, who is her daughter.
* FriendToAllChildren: According to Angela, Veronica is at her best when taking care of children.
* HappilyMarried: Although her husband is never seen (and eventually is revealed to be deceased), she was this. When explaining the custom of promise rings to the player character, she smiles and recalls how excited she was the day she received one from her husband.
* MissionControl: She explains everything to you and is the one you approach in order to set up [=StreetPass=] or participate in any festivals.
* MrExposition
* TheOmniscient: She knows ''everything'' that goes on in this town, even on your somewhat remote farm - to the point where she's the one to inform ''you'' that the egg in your incubator is hatching or your pregnant animal is giving birth.
* PermanentElectedOfficial: From a comment Angela makes, Veronica apparently will hold the role of guildmistress for as long as she chooses.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Always wears the same royal blue ensemble.
* UltimateAuthorityMayor: The game doesn't identify her explicitly as the mayor of Oak Tree Town, but she pretty much runs the village. She's the one to handle all the details about land assignment, competitions, vendors, and other day-to-day operations in the town. She's even the one who performs the ceremony should your character get married and also [[spoiler:conducts the funeral when Eda dies]], suggesting that she may be some sort of religious leader as well.
* WidowWoman: As noted in Angela's section, her husband has died. (This is only revealed in-game if the player character is male and romances Angela.)
* {{Workaholic}}: She oversees everything. She's the guildmistress, the organizer and hostess of town festivals, the manager of trade relations, and as noted above, possibly the religious leader too. She even spends the first in-game week helping to get the Highlands farm ready for the player to occupy.

!! Marian
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c68a36647f4c77117b46044b9e3f001c.png]]
The physician at the town clinic, and Angela's boss. Marian is the one to patch you up if you pass out from overwork.

* BeautifulDreamer: A humorous variant - according to Marian, he and Giorgio are members of the "Beautiful Dreamers Alliance."
* BenevolentBoss: He's very friendly with Angela and seems to like her a lot. One of the television programs which profiles town residents even comments on their unusual chemistry.
* BerserkButton: He flips out at the New Year's celebration, saying that he will defy the passage of time and remain beautiful. He also gets upset if someone ignores his medical advice, like during Giorgio's {{scripted event}} where he falls ill.
* BirdsOfAFeather: He's good friends with the [[CampStraight equally flamboyant Giorgio]].
* BlahBlahBlah: Literally, during the "Beautiful Heart, Beautiful Mind Alliance" scripted event.
--> '''Marian:''' Upon receiving the signals from your sensory organs, your brain then interprets that signal as {{blah blah blah}} science medicine science.
*** Hilariously, it's implied that the reason for this is that what he's saying goes ''completely over your head''.
* CampGay: A surprisingly tasteful example; Marian is very flamboyant, and mentions a boyfriend.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He loves pink, wears makeup, calls himself a "big sister"... it's highly likely that he's meant to be an [[{{Crossdresser}} Okama]].
* GenderBlenderName: Marian is male, but spells his name in a way more common for women.
* GenkiGirl: According to Klaus. At the Fashion Fiesta, he may mention that Marian's excitement for such events leads him to be even more expressive than usual.
--> '''Klaus:''' Just watching is enough to have him bouncing with glee. But should he participate... whew. He buries the needle. I can't keep up with that.
* NiceGuy: Marian is unfailingly kind and encouraging to your avatar, whom he usually calls "honey."
* OddFriendship: With Klaus; they went to college together. If you have a meal with Klaus after romancing him, he may comment that whenever Marian gets dumped, he calls Klaus, who cooks him dinner and does his best to console him. Marian also attends Klaus's wedding to the female protagonist and is extremely happy for the pair.
* TheUnseen: He periodically mentions his boyfriend, who never appears in the game.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is pink.

!! Giorgio
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aebca32fb96b0d02e30e35733d0aec94.png]]
Giorgio is a gorgeous farmer-turned-model. He raises flowers and often appears in farming magazines.

* BeautifulDreamer: A humorous variant - according to Marian, he and Giorgio are members of the "Beautiful Dreamers Alliance."

* {{Bishonen}}: When he becomes so excited that his image is surrounded by roses, he even develops a BishieSparkle.
* CampStraight: He's very flamboyant, but he mentions a fiancée to whom he refers with female pronouns.
* CompetitionFreak: Comes across this way when Veronica announces the Land Conquest competition between the farmers.
* FamedInStory: In addition to appearing on the covers of farming magazines, Giorgio has his own show. If you build the television and tune in to the Oak Tree Channel, you can sometimes catch a hint-giving episode of ''Giorgio's Gorgeous Farm Life.''
* FriendlyEnemy: One of your four rival farmers.
* IllBoy: In his first scripted event, Giorgio collapses, and Marian explains that he's slightly anemic.
* MeaningfulName: Giorgio is Italian for, well, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin farmer]]."
* ModelCouple: He's half of one. Not only does Giorgio appear in farming magazines, but at the Fashion Fiesta events, he may mention that his fiancée is also a fashion model.
* PrettyBoy
* ProudBeauty: He's well aware of how attractive he is, and speaks of it often. Despite this, he's actually a NiceGuy.
* PurpleIsPowerful: He wears a lot of purple, and also uses quite a bit of it in the decorating schemes on his farm.
* SomethingAboutARose: He raises flowers, wears a rose corsage, and lives at Rosewood Farm. If he gets excited about something, the screen fills up with sparkling roses; he's basically the game's version of [[Anime/OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki]].
* {{Steampunk}}: Giorgio's farm is something like this, with propellers and other machinery being intrinsic to the design. His farming techniques seem to be more technologically advanced than the rest of Oak Tree Town, which appears more provincial by comparison.
* TheUnseen: As noted above, he has a fiancée to whom he's devoted (which is why he's not a romance option), but she's never seen in the game.
** WalkingTheEarth: He mentions that she's out traveling the world, and sends him frequent gifts of unusual plants from far-off lands.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has pale pink hair.

[[quoteright:258:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9973d32cf44923e17d1a36d89702aeda.png]]
The friendly innkeeper, father of Melanie and Lillie.

* DotingParent[=/=]GoodParents: He's a NiceGuy, and devoted to his kids.
* MissingMom: He doesn't seem to have a wife. Most likely he's a widowed single dad, since Melanie wishes for a mother; see below.
* PerpetualSmiler: Much like his daughters, Maurice is almost never seen with anything less than a warm, sunny smile on his face.
* RaisedByDudes: His kids are this.
* SacredHospitality: It's noted on the official wiki that he will let people stay at the inn for free if they can't afford to rent a room.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The official ''Harvest Moon'' wiki doesn't seem to be certain whether his name is Maurice or Morris.
* TeamDad: To a small extent, beyond his own children. Licorice, Nadi, and Kamil all rent rooms in his inn and become part of the extended family; this is especially true of Kamil, who is adored by both of Maurice's daughters.
** Maurice also takes something of a fatherly interest in the player character, calling them "kiddo" and offering kind words of encouragement. He's particularly supportive at the town festivals, congratulating the player character on their victories and saying "you'll get 'em next time" if they don't win. He's also very appreciative, in one scripted event, of the player taking time out of their day to play with his little Melanie.

!! Melanie
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/92fb450876404466b29c2fd6e84a9f02.png]]
Maurice's younger daughter and Lillie's little sister.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild
* CheerfulChild: Melanie always has a smile on her face.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Lutz.
* TheCutie: She even uses her cuteness to attract boys.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Should the player character be wearing a ruby cheongsam, Melanie will remark that she thinks her father "would be ''very'' happy to see you in that".
* HairDecorations: Has a ribbon shaped like a flower in her hair.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Shares these with her sister.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She has this relationship with Kamil and Nadi.
* TheMatchmaker: Well, she wants to be. In the "Playing Cupid" event, she wants to hook her (presumably widowed) father up with one of the women in town, although she isn't sure which one. She then asks the player character about their crush, and if they admit to having one, she scuttles off to find out what that person thinks of the PC.
* MissingMom: In the "Playing Cupid" scripted event, Melanie expresses a desire for her dad to remarry, because "I really want a mommy."
* PerpetualSmiler
* PinkIsFeminine: She always wears yellow, but Melanie loves pink. If the female player character speaks to her while wearing a pink outfit, she gushes about how cute it is and that she's "a sucker for anything pink!"
* PrecociousCrush: On the male player in the official 4-koma comics.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Kamil or Nadi and a female player, or for her sister and a male player, if they're dating. In each case, the player must have strong friendship points with Melanie for the romance to proceed.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: According to Lillie, Melanie is quite mature for her age, and her sister isn't really sure where the child learns some of the things she knows.

!! Gunther and Corona
[[quoteright:405:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/99f4822578b8882d5e36f6f14f5f837b.png]]
The town carpenter and his wife.

* BaldOfAwesome: Gunther
* GreenEyedMonster: Corona - at least according to Margot; see below. Corona herself never gives any indication of it, however.
* HandyMan: Gunther, who not only sells building materials, but shows up to supervise whenever you construct or modify any structures at your farm.
* HappilyMarried
* LawOfInverseFertility: Possibly. They don't mention it themselves, but Margot thinks that Corona is jealous of her because she has a child.
* LethalChef: Slightly implied if you win one of the cooking competitions. Corona says she could take lessons from you, and Gunther quietly asks you to provide them.
* MayDecemberRomance: According to Margot, Gunther is ten years older than Corona.
* NiceGuy: Both of them.

!! Otmar
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2462215bb6d5ade8b4571705bceaf1e8.png]]
The elderly owner of the town's general store.

* AffectionateNickname: Fritz calls him "Gramps."
* CloudCuckooLander: Some of the things he says, especially at festivals and other town events, can make him come across this way.
* CoolOldGuy: He's always friendly and will comment that the player character is looking like farm life suits them.
* FishingMinigame: He's the one to present you with a fishing rod and teach you how to use it.
* ForgetfulJones: He's quite absent-minded, probably at least partly due to age.
* HeavySleeper: Implied by the fact that he apparently naps through most of the annual town concert, despite the music being quite loud.
* HeterosexualLifePartners[=/=]JustFriends: He and Eda frequently visit each other on his days off; it seems to be implied, though not outright stated, that he was good friends with her late husband. [[spoiler:Notably, he's the only villager present at her deathbed apart from the player, Veronica (who is there in an official capacity as much as anything else), and Marian (the attending physician). Otmar clearly takes her death very hard.]]
* NiceHat: His undersized top hat.
* {{Shopkeeper}}: His isn't the OnlyShopInTown, but it is the only place to get certain items.
** GuideDangIt: The shop is closed on festival days and Sundays.
* WeekendInventor: He may remark that he likes to tinker with different things in his spare time.

!! Jonas, Margot, and Lutz
[[quoteright:399:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/32203c1780f51527152eac90193e3411.png]]
Jonas runs the vendor depot (although he takes off on festival days and Sundays). He, his wife, and their son share a house in the west end of the village proper.

* ArrangedMarriage: Margot's dialogue reveals that she thought she was getting too old for marriage, so she let her family set her up with a man she'd never met (Jonas) in a town she'd never visited (Oak Tree Town). Though Margot can be harsh on Jonas, she truly cares for him, so things seem to have worked out for them.
* BerserkButton: Margot flips out if she thinks anyone is looking down on her or her family, as poor Corona discovers one morning.
* BugCatching: Something both Jonas and Lutz enjoy, much to Margot's chagrin.
* ChildhoodFriends: Lutz, with Melanie.
* EducationMama: Margot.
* GossipyHens: Margot comes across like this in the scripted event where she reveals assorted details about Corona.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: According to the official ''Harvest Moon'' wiki, this is why Margot acts the way she does. She has no faith in her own abilities, so she is determined that her son will be a huge success.
* NoSenseOfHumor: Jonas can't recognize a joke to save his life, as demonstrated in one of the scripted events.
* NumberTwo: Jonas is a member of the Guild, and effectively serves as this to Veronica; he assists her with planning town functions and bringing new vendors to the Vendor Depot.
* OppositesAttract: The official wiki seems to imply this for Jonas and Margot. It notes that she treats Jonas harshly because she thinks he is timid and weak. Nevertheless, they love each other very dearly.
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: Lutz, although he's only short because he's a child.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Margot and Lutz are two of the only people in town who wear them, and they're the two who are the most focused on education.

!! Witchie
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1e0e18333b65d405e1bc7832090ea77d.png]]
A curious little imp with magical powers. She arrives at Oak Tree Town during your first autumn and builds a house (and swamp) for herself in the forest. Returning character - sort of - from ''Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands''.

* AnimalMotif: Witchie loves frogs. She has them all over the inside of her house, and also wields a frog staff.
* BadassAdorable: Well, she's definitely adorable, and the presence of her magic suggests that she certainly ''could'' be badass if the situation required it.
* CuteWitch
* DefrostingIceQueen: She's initially angry that Dessie has moved into her house while she was away. However, after hearing how cute Dessie thinks it is and how much Dessie respects her power, she mellows considerably, and graciously invites Dessie to live in the lake beside the house. They seem to become good friends after that.
* DubNameChange: In ''Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands'', she was called Witchkins. In this game, however, she's called Witchie. The trope is subverted in that both names are an acceptable way to translate her Japanese name Majo-chama (as opposed to the Witch Princess's Majo-sama).
* {{Expy}}: Of the Witch Princess of previous games.
* HornedHairdo
* MagicalGirl
* MundaneUtility: She's first seen using her magic to move trees out of her way and construct a house.
* SolitarySorceress: She invokes this trope by setting up her house in the forest, away from everybody else.
* SpinOffspring: Witchie is not only the Witch Princess's expy, but also her niece.
** FeudingFamilies: For this reason, she hates Dessie on principle - Dessie is the Witch Princess's arch-nemesis, in Witchie's own words. Subverted when the sprites explain that this is a ''different'' Dessie; she calms down, slightly.

!! Dessie and the Harvest Sprites
[[quoteright:440:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b09a1861075cae125e2c8b6087997ab5.png]]
The local deity and the sprites who serve her. Dessie aids the player character and her sprites inspect the crops to make sure all is in order. With the exception of the player character, and later Witchie, they are completely invisible to everyone in Oak Tree Town. The sprites appear briefly when the player is exploring the public farmlands for the first time, and Dessie herself arrives on the first day of year 2.

* AbandonedArea: The sprites mistake Witchie's swamp for this, and while Witchie is away asking the player character for help, Dessie moves into the "abandoned" house.
* BigEater: Mora is always hungry.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The sprites can be told apart from each other by the color of their outfits. Flik wears red, Gusto wears blue, Pepita wears pink, Mora wears orange, and Torque wears purple.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Whenever you toss an offering into Dessie's lake, she appears and sings a theme song for herself. She explains that she's trying out several different tunes to see which one she likes best.
* FunSize: In personality, the sprites all bear strong resemblance to one of the villagers. Flik is cheerful and energetic like Melanie; Pepita shares Raeger's love of cooking; Gusto is hardworking and appears irritable like Nadi; Torque wears glasses and has a facial expression very similar to Margot's, and shares her commitment to education; and Mora has an appetite like Fritz's.
* GirlishPigtails: Dessie's green hair is tied in two braids.
* GuideDangIt: Dessie wants offerings dropped into the lake (she periodically rewards you for them, and there's a trophy you receive for giving her 500), but it can be incredibly frustrating to find the items that won't prompt her to say she doesn't like them.
* TheLeader: Flik is the chief sprite.
* LegacyCharacter: The sprites state that Dessie is not the same Harvest Goddess from previous titles; this Dessie only became a goddess very recently and is rather small.
* NeatFreak: Flik's job is to make sure everything is tidy.
* PerpetualFrowner: Gusto, the launderer, is actually very friendly, but for some reason he always looks like a GrumpyBear.
* PerpetualSmiler: By contrast, Flik is this.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Torque, Dessie's tutor, is a bespectacled sprite.
* ThroughHisStomach: Pepita is Dessie's chef.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: All of them have green hair.

[[foldercontrol]]

* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:As sad as everyone is at her funeral, ''no one'' ever mentions Eda again once it's over.]] [[spoiler:Subverted once you unlock all seven vendors. Veronica will invite you to a party in the Trade Depot, where she remarks that she wishes Madame Eda were here to see what you've accomplished. Afterwards you'll receive a letter in the mail from Eda that she wrote in advance.]]

* BerserkButton: He flips out at the New Years celebration, saying that he will defy the passage of time and remain beautiful. He also gets upset if someone ignores his medical advice, like during Giorgio's {{scripted event}} where he falls ill.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Should the player character be wearing a ruby cheongsam, Melanie will remark that she thinks her father "would be ''very'' happy to see them in that".

* ForgetfulJones: He's quite absent-minded, probably partly due to age.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Angela, whom she's known since they were children, and to whom she affectionately refers to as her BFF.

* CampStraight: He's very flamboyant, but he mentions a fiancée that he refers to with female pronouns.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Should the player character being wearing a ruby cheongsam, Melanie will remark that she thinks her father "would be ''very'' happy to see them in that".

* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:As sad as everyone is at her funeral, ''no one'' ever mentions Eda again once it's over.]]

* MissingMom: In the "Playing Cupid" scripted event, Melanie specifically expresses a desire for her dad to remarry, because "I really want a mommy."

* DefrostingIceQueen: She's initially ''very'' angry that Dessie has moved into her house while she was away. However, after hearing how cute Dessie thinks it is and how much Dessie respects her power, she mellows considerably, and graciously invites Dessie to live in the lake beside the house. They seem to become good friends after that.

* PerpetualFrowner: Gusto, the launderer, is actually very friendly; but for some reason he always looks like a GrumpyBear.

* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Veronica leads a funeral for her after her death, and a headstone is erected for her by the waterside. It is located in the far corner of her farm by the river.]]

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Once you promise to take care of her farm, Eda assures you she's had a good life and will leave no regrets.]]

* RaisedByGrandparents: During one of her scripted events, she tells the player character that when her son moved his family to the city, her grandson wanted to stay on the farm, and so she and her late husband raised him for several years.

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Veronica doesn't look like she can be much more than thirty, but she's old enough to have an adult daughter.

* TheOmniscient: She knows ''everything'' that goes on in this town, even on your somewhat remote farm - to the point where she's the one to inform ''you'' that the egg in your incubator is hatching or your pregnant animal is giving birth!

* BerserkButton: He flips out a bit at the New Year celebration, saying that he will defy the passage of time and remain beautiful. He also gets upset if someone ignores his medical advice, like during Giorgio's {{scripted event}} where he falls ill.

* OddFriendship: With Klaus; they went to college together. If you have a meal with Klaus after romancing him, he may comment that whenever Marian gets dumped in a relationship, he calls Klaus, who cooks him dinner and does his best to console him. Marian also attends Klaus's wedding to the female protagonist and is extremely happy for the pair.

* SomethingAboutARose: He raises flowers, always has a rose on his shirt, and even lives at Rosewood Farm. If he gets excited about something, the screen even fills up with sparkling roses; he's basically the game's version of [[Anime/OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki]].
* {{Steampunk}}: Giorgio's farm is something like this, with propellers and other machinery being intrinsic to the design. His farming techniques seem to be more technologically advanced than the rest of Oak Tree Town, which appears rather more provincial by comparison.

* DotingParent[=/=]GoodParents: He's a genuinely NiceGuy, and devoted to his kids.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He seems to have something like this for Fritz and Mistel if either of them are romanced; he counsels them as to how to treat the female protagonist, and allows Fritz to use his kitchen to prepare a gourmet meal for her.

* BizarreTasteInFood: Although his absolute favorite food item isn't horribly weird (see below), he's also extremely partial to Seaweed.

* ClingyJealousGirl: If you're in a relationship. In her Pink Flower event, she spots you talking to Lillie. She doesn't know why she has a burning feeling, and the male PC has to explain to her that she was feeling jealousy; she then mentions a female monkey having a similar experience when her mate was playing with another female. However, since the male PC wants to remain faithful to her, she gets over her jealousy and they go on a date.
* CrashIntoHello: In her White Flower Event, she asks the male player if he can play with her two fox friends, named "Mr. Fox and his friend". When you accept, HilarityEnsues when they become rather too playful and Agate ends up crashing into him by accident.

Veronica's daughter is the nurse in Marian's clinic.

* MeanBoss: Confirmed by some of the dialogue you can receive by talking to her employees. One of them remarks that she'd like to get through the day without receiving a "verbal beating." Almost all of her employees have something mean to say about her, or how horrible she is as a boss. However...

* PinkMeansFeminine: Her entire outfit pretty much consists of varying shades of pink. Her room seems to be very pink and girly too.
* ProperLady: Hinted by one of her staff. If you wander around inside her house and speak to the various employees you meet, one of them will be filled with praise for Elise's exquisite table manners.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Nobility, not royalty, at least to judge by the fact that her servants call her Lady Elise. She doesn't really do a lot of farming herself at first, but she does oversee everything, and as part of her CharacterDevelopment she resolves to take a more active hand in tending her farm.

* OfCorsetsSexy: Her beautiful dress includes a black corset, which creates a CleavageWindow to boot.

** GuideDangIt: The ''recipe'' is easy to acquire; Silk Country will begin selling it during your first autumn. The ''ingredients'', however, can be tricky, since each of the four vegetables is grown in a different season.

* ChildhoodFriends: With Angela, whom she's known since they were in diapers and to whom she affectionately refers as her BFF.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: She and Melanie both take a particular shine to Kamil and, to a slightly lesser extent, Nadi when they move into the inn; as noted above, a female player character has to have good friendship levels with both girls for their romances to proceed.

* FashionDesigner: In one of the festivals, the player can dress a model and be ranked based off what they chose.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: An option, since {{Gendered Outfit}}s don't exist on this game, and you can have access to (and wear) every single piece of clothing, no matter if you're a boy or a girl.

* NiceGuy: He always has to help someone if he sees them in trouble. He also calls Raeger a nice person on one occasion and says how grateful he is for Raeger's help. Nadi's dialogue seems to imply that Fritz talks to him regularly as if he was a friend, even though Nadi isn't exactly shy about saying that he's annoying. And despite being your rival, Fritz always encourages you to do your best and congratulates you on your victories.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Kamil becomes part of Maurice's extended family by virtue of living at the inn. For his romance arc to proceed, you actually have to make sure you have sufficient friendship points with both Lillie and Melanie.

* NatureLover: He's fond of long walks in the forested area between your farm and the main town.
* OddFriendship: With Marian; they went to college together. If you have a meal with Klaus after romancing him, he may comment that whenever Marian gets dumped in a relationship, he calls Klaus, who cooks him dinner and does his best to console him. Marian also attends Klaus's wedding to the female protagonist and is extremely happy for the pair.

* SharpDressedMan: Klaus is the most formally dressed of all the male love interests. He looks very much like a Victorian gentleman, complete with waistcoat and pocketwatch.
* SmellsSexy: He's a perfumist by profession, and presents a female who romances him with gifts of perfume. At the red flower level, he will also tell his girlfriend that she looks good "and you smell good to match."

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Penne Arrabiatta, a pasta dish requiring flour, tomato, and milk, whose recipe can be purchased from fourth vendor Rose Country.

* HatesSmallTalk: Implied. Sometimes, talking to him results in him telling you that if you have something to say, you should get on with it because he has things to do.

* InsecureLoveInterest: When dating the player, he sometimes worries that a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold blunt and unsociable person]] like him isn't dating material. It's part of what prompts his aforementioned GreenEyedMonster moment, as he fears that the player would prefer an outgoing and romantic guy like Giorgio. If the player breaks up with him, he will straight-up admit that it's the best choice the player could have made and that he was surprised why they even dated him to begin with.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He has minor shades of this. If you encounter him while in the woods or tending your crops on one of the public farmlands, and stop to chat, he will be incredulous that you came all this way just to see him.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: He has red eyes and is probably the least friendly bachelor this time around.

Characters who appear in ''Franchise/HarvestMoon: VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'' for the 3DS.

* MeaningfulName: Kamil is very close to the Czech surname Kamel, which was the name of the scientist for whom the camellia flower was named.

* {{FarmBoy}}/FarmGirl: If they weren't this trope in a farming game like this, it would be very bad.

* FarmBoy/FarmGirl: If they weren't this trope in a farming game like this, it would be very bad.
