22The [[PlayerCharacter player characters]]. Angela and Kevin for ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'', and all four in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]''.
23
24----
25%%* TheAce
26* TheChosenOne: This is pretty much the explanation for Finn's existence in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]''--he's the guide to help the chosen one restore the Goddess Tree.
27* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Arguable only for Molly, who sometimes looks red-haired in artwork.
28* DubNameChange: They are known as "Akari", "Takeru", "Hikari", and "Yuuki" in Japan.
29* FairyCompanion: Finn the Harvest Sprite becomes one for the player in Animal Parade.
30* FairytaleWeddingDress: Of all the unique wedding dresses the bachelorettes wear, Molly/Angela has the closest one to a ballgown.
31* FriendToAllLivingThings: Except moles.
32* GenerationXerox: The NewGamePlus mode of ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]'' has you playing as your child... Who looks exactly like you do, lives in a town exactly like yours, and can even (provided they're the same gender as your original character) ''marry the same person.'' [[ParentalIncest Um.]] Also, ''their'' child can start a new adventure, continuing the cycle for as long as you choose to.
33* HaremSeeker: Considering the number of marriage candidates in the game, you can certainly make your character into this.
34* HelloInsertNameHere: Their default names are already in the blanks, but most people just ignore them.
35* HeroicMime: As always, aside from canned answers during [[ScriptedEvent Scripted Events]]. You see your character's mouth moving often, but there are never any words. Somewhat subverted in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree of Tranquility]]''. Both Kevin and Angela will say "Let's go!" when waking up and starting a new day; "There, there" when tending to their animals; and "Great!" when receiving a tool, or during certain events. These, however, are voice clips spoken aloud. These clips weren't terribly popular with the fans.
36* IdiotHair: All of them, with the exception of Kasey, who has HairAntennae.
37* VirtualPaperDoll: You can dress them up in different outfits and accessories once you purchase them at the tailor's or festivals, or have them made by the blacksmith.

46
47A gentle, graceful young woman who lives on her parents' farm, which is where she's usually found. She is interested in medicine and healing.
48
49----
50* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is not necessarily cold, but certainly on the more reserved and mature side than many of the other bachelorettes.
51* CantHoldHerLiquor: More mild than most, but the reason she gives for not liking cocktails is that they give her awful headaches.
52* CoolBigSis: To Taylor.
53* DubNameChange: She is known as "Anise" in Japan.
54%%* FearOfThunder
55* FloralThemeNaming: Only in the Japanese version. There, her name is Anise, and her brother's name is Thyme.

58* OneeSama: Her brother Taylor thinks very highly of her.

66
67A waitress at the inn. Loves fine cuisine, but couldn't make it herself if her life depended on it.
68
69----
70* BigEater: Given how much she likes to talk about food.
71%%* CuteClumsyGirl
72* TheCutie: Not surprising, given what her [[SickeninglySweethearts parents are like.]]
73* DubNameChange: She's called "Mai" in Japan.
74* FeminineWomenCanCook: Subverted. The entire basis of her character is this.
75* FrenchMaidOutfit: Her winter ensemble is reminiscent of this.
76%%* GenkiGirl
77* LethalChef: Despite this, she has her own cooking show, if only out of the "Those who cannot do..." school of thought.
78* NeverGetsFat: Thin as a stick despite her apparent gluttony.
79* ProneToTears: Cries pretty often, particularly (and [[{{JustifiedTrope}} rightfully so]]) when Chase is berating her for her awful cooking skills.
80* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to Chase's Savvy Guy.
81* ASideOrderOfRomance: Should she romance the player character.
82* SweetTooth: Every single one of her most-loved gifts is either a dessert or a [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sweet potato]] dish.

96* {{Expy}}: Of (young) Ellen from [[VideoGame/HarvestMoon1 previous]] [[VideoGame/HarvestMoonMagicalMelody games]].
97* FriendToAllLivingThings: She does berate her parents for not taking care of the animals "properly".
98* GirlNextDoor: Renee is very easy to approach and has a wholesome personality. She's available to woo from the get-go and is the local [[FarmersDaughter rancher's daughter]], which encourages interaction with the player. Arguably, she's the [[ImpliedLoveInterest "default" romance choice]] for male players.
99* HappilyMarried: If she marries Toby, they're never seen fighting in their rival cutscenes or after.
100%%zce* NiceGirl
101* PatchworkKids: Has her father's hair color and mother's eye color.

110
111A native from Toucan Island who dreams of leaving home and working as a dancer.
112
113----
114* 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.
115* AttentionWhore: She admits it herself, really.
116* DeclarationOfPersonalIndependence: When she leaves Toucan Island against her mother's wishes and sends a letter back to her parents.
117* DefrostingIceQueen: Seems like an AlphaBitch at first but becomes noticeably nicer as you befriend her.
118* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Has significantly hooded eyes, likely to give her a somewhat seductive look.
119* DubNameChange: She is named "Sheila" in Japan.
120* ExposedToTheElements: Her winter outfit is basically nothing but a different color belly dancer outfit.
121* FieryRedhead: Especially prominent in her rival cutscenes with Luke.
122* 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.
123%%* MsFanservice
124* RedheadInGreen: For her winter outfit.
125* SmugSmiler: Her default expression features a smirk.
126* StrongFamilyResemblance: Has her father's hair color, eye color, skin color, and eye shape.
127* TechnicolorEyes: Magenta.
128* TooMuchAlike: With Luna. Nearly gets into a CatFight with her because they're both too sassy when a misunderstanding occurs.
129
130!!Phoebe
131[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phoebeap.png]]

134
135An inventor, she hangs around with Calvin a lot and helps him.
136
137----
138* DubNameChange: She is named "Pat" in Japan.
139* {{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 BespectacledCutie.
140%%* GadgeteerGenius
141* OutdoorsyGal: Spends most of her time in the mines.
142* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She is almost certainly the most book smart of all the bachelorettes, being an inventor, and is also the only one to wear glasses.
143* WrenchWench: She spends much of her time tinkering with ''something''.
144
145!!Candace
146[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/candace_ap.png]]
147 [[caption-width-right:195: AP Art (Winter Outfit)]]

150A very shy girl who works in the tailor shop. Older sister of Luna.
151
152----
153* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Blue eyes, blue hair.
154* CuteOversizedSleeves: Not super exaggerated, but her cardigan sleeves in both outfits are a little oversized.
155* DubNameChange: She is named "Kotomi" in Japan.
156* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe
157* OppositesAttract: Julius is much more open than her.
158* RaisedByGrandparents: Her parents died, so she only has Luna and Shelly.
159* ShrinkingViolet: She's very shy and quiet, in contrast to her more outgoing sister Luna.
160* ShyBlueHairedGirl: To the letter. She has blue hair and is very timid and quiet.
161* SiblingYinYang: She's very quiet and shy, while her sister, Luna, is outgoing to the point of bluntness.
162* TrueBlueFemininity: Everything about her is blue while still being very feminine.
163
164!!Luna
165[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lunaap.png]]
166 [[caption-width-right:195: AP Art (Winter Outfit)]]

168
169Candace'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.]]
170
171----
172* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted; she's younger than Candace, but she can still be protective of her shy older sister. She does NOT want Julius talking to Candace, due to how he treated Candace when they were kids.
173* BerserkButton: Do NOT suggest that she's immature in any way.
174* DubNameChange: She is named "Ruumi" in Japan.
175* ElegantGothicLolita: She dresses like this from time to time. It doesn't help her look much older.
176* TheFashionista: She's much more interested in wearing clothes than making them by her own admission.
177* FlowersOfFemininity: Her hair is filled with flowers.
178* GirlishPigtails: Lest we forget a single aspect of her appearance...
179* OlderThanTheyLook: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility Tree Of Tranquility]]'' she was kind of short, but still available as a marriage candidate.
180* PlayfulPursuit: Her final rival heart event with Gill has her evoke this.
181* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Moreso a Reboot 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.
182%%* RaisedByGrandparents
183* SiblingYinYang: She's the outgoing and brash counterpart to Candace's shyness.
184* SweetTooth: The majority of her most-loved gifts are desserts, such as [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pie]] and cake.
185* TooMuchAlike: With Selena. Nearly gets into a CatFight with her because they're both too sassy when a misunderstanding occurs.
186%%* {{Tsundere}}
187* [[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.]]
188
189!!Kathy
190[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kathyap.png]]
191 [[caption-width-right:195: AP Art (Winter Outfit)]]

193
194A waitress at her father's bar. She enjoys horseback riding.
195
196----
197* CoolBigSis: Despite not having any younger siblings, she is described as having a "sisterly" personality.
198* {{Expy}}: Particularly of Gwen in terms of looks and personality.
199%%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
200* MissingMom: She mentions that her mother died before her father started the bar.
201* NotSoDifferentRemark: Says this to the protagonist about Selena and Luna after their spat.
202* ASideOrderOfRomance: If romanced by the player character.
203%%* TomboyishPonytail
204* {{Tsundere}}: For Owen.
205* TsurimeEyes: Reflects her strong personality.
206* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: While "ugly" may be a tad harsh to describe Hayden, Kathy looks ''nothing'' like him. If you squint, you can see they both have green eyes, but that's about it.
207
208!!Witch (''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'')
209[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witchap.png]]
210
211* BewitchedAmphibians: You initially meet her as a pink frog. [[spoiler:Thanks to the Wizard, she gets better.]]
212* CuteWitch: A staple of the series.
213* 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).
214* 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.
215* TheHermit: 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.
216* LoveFreak: Unlike the Wizard, she says that she is fascinated by the concept of romance.
217* MsFanservice: She is certainly the flashiest out of the witches in Harvest Moon, dressed in just a corset, bloomer-like shorts, and stockings.
218* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long white hair, which she passes on to her children.
219* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:Until she is married, which she reveals it to be Vivi.]]
220* OlderThanTheyLook: 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.
221* PetTheDog: She greatly respects the Harvest Goddess. In fact, her failed spell was meant to revive the Goddess Tree.
222* SupernaturalGoldEyes: More of an orange hue, but still in effect.
223%%* {{Tsundere}}
224
225!!Harvest Goddess
226[[quoteright:600:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/animalparadeharvestgoddess.png]]

229
230A deity who watches over the divine tree near the Goddess Pond.
231
232----
233* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: She has teal eyes and hair.
234* HotGod: She looks like an attractive young woman.
235* ImprobableHairstyle: Has the most physics-defying, intricate, wacky hairstyle of any character by far. Perhaps justified since she's a ''goddess,'' but still... how does that hair loop in the back even work?
236* InterspeciesRomance: The male protagonists are humans who can marry her.
237* MayflyDecemberRomance: Being a goddess, she will outlive her human husband.
238* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:Her name is Sephia, but she doesn't tell you that unless you marry her.]]
239* PhysicalGod: She's a physical goddess. However, few humans can see her.
240* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: It's impossible to tell her age, but she's very long-lived.
241
242[[/folder]]
243
244[[folder:Bachelors]]
245!!Jin
246[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jin_ap.png]]

249
250A doctor who works at the local clinic.
251
252----
253* AsiansLoveTea: Both green and herbal tea are some of his most-loved gifts. Slightly downplayed in that a lot of other villagers also like or love tea, but usually not both kinds.
254* DoesNotLikeSpam: He hates cold drinks, mostly cocktails.
255* DarkAndTroubledPast: Became a doctor [[spoiler:after trying to save his [[LostLenore first wife]] from terminal illness to no avail.]]
256* DressedToHeal: Both his outfits feature his [[LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine lab coat]].
257* DubNameChange: He is known as "Won" in Japan
258* {{Expy}}: As with almost all doctors in the series, he is based on the original Doctor from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature Back to Nature]]''.
259* FlorenceNightingaleEffect
260%%* FrontierDoctor
261%%* HospitalHottie
262* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has his hair up in a ponytail. It still manages to reach his shoulders.
263* SecondLove: ''Very'' rare for the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' series. If not your female Player Characters, then Anissa is this for him.
264%%* StoicSpectacles
265* SuperDoc: Apparently, Jin is also versed in veterinary science, as he's able to treat an injured bird you find. Luckily this is averted when it comes to your livestock.
266
267!!Chase
268[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chaseap.png]]
269 [[caption-width-right:195: AP Art (Winter Outfit)]]
270 [[caption-width-right:195:[[labelnote: [=ToT=] Art (Summer Outfit)]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ch_chase_hm_tree_of_tranquility.png]][[/labelnote]]
271
272A cook and waiter at the inn. In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', he becomes the head chef at the bar, instead.
273
274----
275* AngryChef: Frequently and brutally berates Maya whenever she tries to cook him something. He'll also be pretty harsh towards the player's food if it doesn't meet the requirements for his quest.
276* BrutallyHonest: Won't hesitate to tell you how he truly feels about things, from food to other people. Usually it's negative, though he'll occasionally have something nice to say.
277* CareerRevealingTrait: Wears an apron in both his outfits, hinting at being a cook.
278* DeadpanSnarker: He comes off quite rude because of this.
279* DubNameChange: He is named "Chihaya" in Japan.
280* GameplayAndStorySegregation: There is a minor event where you can bring him certain dishes and he'll taste-test them for you. Giving him an orange cake during one of these would lead to him saying it's not good enough and to bring him a better dish. Ironically it's one of his favourite items.
281* HairColorDissonance: It's difficult to tell if his hair is pink or orange. Perhaps it's an artistic interpretation of strawberry blond?
282* 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.
283* NoAccountingForTaste: He and Maya, sometimes. Their daughter Dakota points out the fact that they fight all the time and even cites it as the reason she'll never get a younger sister.
284* 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.
285* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Maya's Energetic Girl.
286* SupremeChef: To contrast with his counterpart, Maya. He even says upon getting engaged to her that she doesn't have to try and cook anymore--just taste-test.
287* TechnicolorEyes: Purple.
288* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dishes with oranges in them.
289* {{Tsundere}}: Type A.
290
291!!Julius
292[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juliusap.png]]
293 [[caption-width-right:195: AP Art (Winter Outfit)]]
294 [[caption-width-right:195:[[labelnote: [=ToT=] Art (Summer Outfit)]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ch_julius_hm_tree_of_tranquility.png]][[/labelnote]]
295
296Works at the Blacksmith with Mira. In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', he works at the accessory shop as a jewelry designer.
297
298----
299* BishieSparkle: His is even special-er amidst the normal BishieSparkle of the other candidates, because his sparkles have ''roses'' in them.
300* {{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.
301* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Becomes this with Angie, despairing over how many boys she'll undoubtedly catch the eye of when she grows up.
302* CampStraight: Goes on about beauty and fashion, but marries Candace, a girl. He's also an eligible bachelor for the female players.
303* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Marries Candace if you don't, who've known each other since childhood.
304* DubNameChange: He is named "Julie" in Japan.
305* DotingParent: Certainly becomes this for Angie.
306* 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!
307* GenderBlenderName: His Japanese name "Julie" is usually used for girls.
308* 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.
309%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Definitely fits the pretty boy criteria. Toes the line between this and having a long pony tail, but the "tail" is thick enough that it can just be considered long.
310* {{Metrosexual}}: He's so flaming, he isn't allowed into barns, but he's still a bachelor.
311* OppositesAttract: His relationship with Candace.
312* PrettyInMink: His fabulous winter coat has fur trim.

314* SomethingAboutARose: One of his most-loved gifts are roses.
315* TechnicolorEyes: Has red eyes.
316* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sweet potato dishes and dishes that contain pumpkins.

323
324A laid-back young man who likes taking naps in the shade and fishing his days away.
325
326----
327* BrilliantButLazy: He actually is quite knowledgeable about nature.
328* DubNameChange: He is named "Tao" in Japan.
329* EngagingConversation: How he proposes in his rival heart event.
330* 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: green]]. Your child with him in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'' has [[spoiler: green eyes]] as well.
331* HappilyMarried: If he marries Renee, they're never seen fighting in their rival cutscenes or after.
332* 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.]]
333* MeaningfulName: In Japanese his name is Tao, after the East Asian philosophy that fits with his character.
334* MellowFellow: Toby comes across as calm and relaxed most of the time.
335%%* MissingMom
336* TheQuietOne: He's not exactly shy, however. [[spoiler:When it concerns his hobbies, at least. His own self-worth is a different story.]]
337* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Unsurprisingly, seafood dishes.
338
339!!Gill
340[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gillap.png]]

343
344An arrogant and saucy man. He is the son of Mayor Hamilton.
345
346----
347* 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.
348* DefrostingIceKing: Becomes this if your character befriends or courts him.
349* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Makes him look rather disdainful at any given time.
350* DubNameChange: He is named "Gil" in Japan.
351* HairFlip: Other characters have this animation as well, but Gill does it frequently enough that it could be considered a CharacterTic.
352* HairstyleInertia: The sketch that accompanies his online story shows that he had the exact same hairstyle as a child.
353* HiddenDepths: His snobbish appearance and aloof attitude might lead one to assume all he cares about is personal wealth, but once you befriend him it's immediately revealed that he cares deeply for the town and everyone in it.
354--> '''Gill''': [My wish?] To make this town a great place to live, where everyone is safe and happy. And I want the town to prosper for as long as it stands.
355* IcyBlueEyes: Goes well with his personality.
356* IdiotHair: Though he's presumably quite intelligent.
357* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His grumpiness belies a genuinely noble attitude.
358** 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''...]]
359* 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).
360* MissingMom: [[spoiler: Turns out she's not so much ''missing'' as ''dead''...]]
361* {{Nepotism}}: Subverted. While it's unquestioned that he's going to be the next mayor after his father, he wants the job and has clearly worked hard for it. The implication is that if he didn't want to, someone else could become mayor.
362* OneHourWorkWeek: Despite having ''at least'' four different jobs and outright telling you he can be found at the town hall, Gill is rarely ever seen beyond the front yard of his home.
363* PerpetualFrowner: His default expression has a small frown.
364* RenaissanceMan: Gill is the local news anchor; becomes the teacher once there are enough kids in town; works at the town hall, presumably assisting his father in administrative duties; ''and'' is... an actor?
365* {{Schoolmarm}}: Becomes the sole teacher for all the kids in Harmonica Town.
366* SharpDressedMan: Particularly for his winter outfit, which is a crisp white suit featuring a WaistcoatOfStyle. His summer outfit has a [[DorkInASweater slightly different vibe]], however...
367* StrongFamilyResemblance: As it turns out, more to his mother than his dad in terms of hairstyle.
368* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tomato dishes, especially ratatouille. [[spoiler:Tragically, it's because they remind him of his mother's cooking.]]
369* {{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.
370--> '''Gill''': Whatever... [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not like I'm happy just because I got to see you]], HelloInsertNameHere... *blush*
371* WackyParentSeriousChild: Hamilton comes across as the polar opposite of Gill: cheerful, goofy, and bumbling.
372
373!!Luke
374[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luke_ap.png]]

377
378The fiery-tempered son of the Carpenter.
379
380----
381* BookDumb: Not the brightest.
382* CareerRevealingTrait: If you look closely, you'll see that Luke wears a toolbelt in both his outfits; a giveaway for being a carpenter.
383* ChildhoodFriends: With Owen.
384* {{Expy}}: He's eerily reminiscent of Joe, the upbeat bandana-sporting carpenter from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonSaveTheHomeland Save the Homeland]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonMagicalMelody Magical Melody]]''.
385%%* TheFool
386* 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.]]
387* FriendToAllChildren: Surprisingly enough! He loves kids.
388* HotBlooded: He loves things being EXTREME!
389* LargeHam: No indoor voice? Check. Overly-enthusiastic? Check. Loves boasting? Check.
390* MissingMom: She died when he was young.
391* NoIndoorVoice: EXTREME!
392* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Bo's Blue, seen in their cutscene with Gill.
393* ShonenHair: His hair, down to his eyebrows, is wildly spiky, indicating his hot-blooded personality.
394* SignatureHeadgear: His bandana. He has a blue-flamed one for cold weather and a red-flamed one for warm weather.
395* SleevesAreForWimps: In his summer outfit, his sleeves have been torn off.
396* TechnicolorEyes: Gold, like his father's.
397* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Anything spicy.
398* UnknowinglyInLove: With Selena, after the first heart event between them has been triggered. Luke is very confused [[WhatIsThisFeeling why he feels "sick"]] and notes that the "symptoms intensify" when Selena is near. Then he jumps straight from [[LoveEpiphany realizing it]] to ''proposing'' on the spot.
399
400!!Calvin

404
405A traveling arcaheologist who works with Phoebe. He's got an enthusiastic heart.
406
407----
408* AbsentMindedProfessor: Some of the things he says indicates he enjoys letting his mind wander.
409* AdventurerArchaeologist
410* {{Expy}}:
411** 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.)
412** 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!". 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.''
413* 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.
414* HairColorDissonance: Bright blonde in official art; light brown in-game.
415* HiddenDepths: Despite his ''[[MrFanservice maaaanly]]'' appearance, he's actually very tender-hearted and awkward.
416* ItBelongsInAMuseum: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DgHaToDuM this]] cutscene.
417* LonelyBachelorPad: Lives at the Ocarina Inn until he marries either Phoebe or the player.
418* 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."
419* 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.''
420* MustHaveCaffeine: Coffee is one of his favourite gift items.
421%%* PermaStubble
422* SignatureHeadgear: He's never seen without his hat, not even during his wedding!

440* ParentalAbandonment: Similar to Chloe.
441* RealMenHateSugar: Doesn't like sweets.
442* RedheadInGreen: For his winter outfit.
443* RedHotMasculinity: For his summer outfit!
444* SleevesAreForWimps: Until Fall sets in, and he acquires a coat. But otherwise...

454* ChainedByFashion
455* CrystalBall: He can read the hearts of marriage candidates with it.
456* DistaffCounterpart: He's basically the male version of the CuteWitch bachelorettes the series has grown fond of.
457* DramaticEllipsis: Often trails off in his dialogue... At least in the English dub.
458* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls him wizard, but you could find out his real name if you married him. [[spoiler:It's Gale.]]
459* ExoticEyeDesigns: Has heterochromia, with one eye being green and the other [[SupernaturalGoldEyes gold]].
460* FetchQuest: His role in the story is to have you fetch three things so he can cure the Witch.
461* FortuneTeller
462* MayflyDecemberRomance: Has been around for a very long time, and will probably be around for a long time yet.
463* 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...''
464* MysticalWhiteHair: Due to being a wizard. Your children will inherit it.
465* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:His name is Gale, but he only tells you if you marry him.]]
466* WhatIsThisFeeling: Said word for word.
467* OlderThanTheyLook: Who knows how old he is.
468* Really700YearsOld: Looks like a handsome young man, despite being centuries old at least.
469* TheStoic: Pretty quiet and keeps steady expressions, but he's not shy.
470* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Invoked at a certain heart level if he's married, though only as a throwaway, probably to spare the [[FridgeHorror Fridge Depression]].
471* 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.
472

484* InterspeciesRomance: The human female protagonists can marry him despite the fact he is a god.

486--> After you are gone, I will be alone once more. When I think about that, it makes me sad.
487--> After you are gone... I shall love what you loved... I shall sing the songs that you sang.
488* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:His name is Ignis, but he only tells you if you marry him.]]
489* PhysicalGod: Gee, ya think?
490* PowerGlows: There's a red aura all around him.
491%%* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
492%%* TheStoic
493* 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.

502Anissa'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.

506* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: The cynical variety.
507* 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.
508* 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.
509* PerpetualFrowner

511* TechnicolorEyes: Has red eyes.

516Anissa'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.

526

529%%* AnimeHair
530* AnnoyingYoungerSibling
531* DubNameChange: He is called "Thyme" in Japan
532* FreeRangeChildren: In ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', as you're introduced to him, he announces that he's going to go on a journey, like his sister, to try to help the farm in some way. You don't hear about it again - even from his parents - until he comes back.
533* GogglesDoNothing
534%%* {{Keet}}
535%%* MouthyKid
536* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Despite your own children aging (at least until a certain point), Taylor shows no sign of growing. Same goes for Chloe and Paolo, the only other children in town at the start of the game.

538* ShonenHair: Probably the spikiest of all the villagers.

If there's still a blood relationship in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]]'', it's never commented on, and instead of working in the Clinic, he works as the preacher at the local church, which had been suspiciously empty in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility ToT]]''.
559

586* FamilyBusiness: He owns the Ocarina Inn, at which his mother, wife, and daughter all work.
587* HappilyMarried: He's downright [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness uxorious.]] (That means doting on one's wife, and the word was probably created specifically to describe him.)
588* TheJeeves: He's a well-put-together concierge, though subverted because he owns the inn he works at.
589* {{Telepathy}}: Temporarily, anyway, [[spoiler: by using the Wizard's CrystalBall]].

615* MissingMom
616* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Despite your own children aging (at least until a certain point), Paolo shows no sign of growing. Same goes for Chloe and Taylor, the only other children in town at the start of the game.
617* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He turned the entire town into a RubeGoldbergDevice alongside Phoebe, and says some pretty mature things on occassion. Makes you think how old he really is...

619!!Mayor Hamilton

622The sunny mayor of Harmonica Town/Waffle Island. He is Gill's father and informs the player about town life, such as festivals.
623
624----
625* DarkAndTroubledPast: According to Gill's short story, Hamilton had quite a [[HeroicBSoD rough]] [[TheAlcoholic patch]] after his [[LostLenore wife's passing]].
626* ImprobableHairstyle: There's a curl in the front sticking straight up that's almost as big as his head and he ''still'' manages to look like he's got male pattern baldness.
627* IWantGrandkids: Can be potentially invoked if you marry Gill when he sends a letter containing friendly advice on how to have kids once you've tied the knot. Sadly, there isn't any dialogue to acknowledge this, so it's not necessarily intentional.
628* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He's very short.
629* NosyNeighbor: Hamilton conveniently mails you tips on how to [[ShipperOnDeck ask someone out]], propose, and even ''have kids'' right when your character reaches those stages in their romance. It's a symptom of being the designated tutorial character, but it makes you wonder how and why he knows so much about your personal life. It's even funnier if you end up romancing Gill, [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents his son]].
630* PieEyed: Compared to all the other characters, Hamilton has tiny, beady eyes in a classic cartoon style.
631* UltimateAuthorityMayor: There's never anything like an election. If there was, he would be the only candidate.
632* WackyParentSeriousChild: Hamilton comes across as the polar opposite of Gill: cheerful, goofy, and bumbling.

645
646The head carpenter in town. Mentors Luke (his son) and Bo.
647
648----
649* AnimalLover: A rather unusual burly, hyper-masculine version. In ''Animal Parade'' he has a pet dog named Boss, and Dale is the one who not only gives you the animal whistle but teaches you how to use it.

651* GentleGiant: He gets annoyed at Luke sometimes, but is overall quite chill.
652* PerpetualFrowner: He's actually a very cheerful character, but darned if you can tell by looking at him.

661
662----
663* TheApprentice: Apprentice of Dale along with Luke.
664* FriendToAllChildren: While he doesn't have much screentime interacting with kids, once the player character has their own children Bo has multiple dialogue lines about being jealous, oddly enough.
665* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Luke's Red, as seen in their cutscene with Gill.
666* YouthfulFreckles: He's not a child, but is implied to be younger than most bachelors since he can't be married.
667
668!!Samson

682
683Selena's mother who lives on Toucan Island.
684

687%%* GratuitousForeignLanguage
688%%* HappilyMarried
689* MotherlySidePlait: Keeps her hair in a side ponytail.
690* MyBelovedSmother: She insists her daughter is still too ''immature'' for excitement outside home. She gets better.

697----
698%%* FriendlyShopkeeper
699* GenkiGirl: All grown up, but maintains the sort of personality.
700%%* HappilyMarried
701* OppositesAttract: Her husband Simon definitely isn't as peppy as her. It's most noticeable when they're standing next to each other at the New Year's Festival, where she's cheering happily and he's looking around all worried.
702* RedOniBlueOni: With her husband, Simon.
703

738%%* IWantGrandkids
739%%* MiniatureSeniorCitizens
740%%* PieEyed
741* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Sonata Tailoring is exclusively run by Shelly and her granddaughters.
742

745
746An elderly blacksmith. He's Chloe's grandfather and Owen's great uncle.
747
748----
749* TheBlacksmith: Yup.
750* CoolOldGuy: He certainly looks the role and Chloe sees him this way.
751* DotingGrandparent: Spoils Chloe a bit too much. [[GrandparentFavoritism Owen, not so much]].
752* {{Expy}}: Of Saibara from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature Mineral Town]].''
753* FamilyBusiness: Owen is the only other employee of the smithy, and will presumably take over as head blacksmith someday.

773
774----
775* MrExposition: He's the first character the player meets in ''Animal Parade'', and explains to the player that the town has seen better days.
776* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Cain is usually a very laid-back NiceGuy. However, if the farmer kills an animal by forgetting to feed it, he becomes visibly agitated and distraught towards the player. [[FridgeBrilliance Since he's likely to have raised that same animal from birth, it actually makes sense.]]
777
778!!Hanna

797Anissa and Jin's son, should they get married.
798
799----
800* AdorablyPrecociousChild
801* ChildProdigy: In one event he can teach your own child about precipitation and such.
802* 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.
803* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Aspires to be a doctor when he grows up, like Jin.
804* LittleProfessorDialog: Clearly reads a lot based on his vocabulary alone.
805* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Seems to have inherited poor vision from his dad. Van's glasses are too round and cute to give him the StoicSpectacles effect, though.
806
807!!Dakota
808[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dakota_56.png]]

841* PortmanteauCoupleName: Her name is literally her parents' names, ''Lu''ke and ''Se''lena, smashed together.
842* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Subverted; despite her blue hair, Lucy is one of the most outgoing rival kids. If she had inherited her mother's red hair, she would have qualified as a FieryRedhead.
843* SignatureHeadgear: Just like her dad, she wears a bandana at all times. However, hers has [[FlowersOfFemininity flowers]] on it rather than flames.
844* TechnicolorEyes: No matter which parent's eyes she inherited, she would have these. She ended up with her mother's magenta color.
845

848
849Phoebe and Calvin's son, should they get married.
850
851----
852* ApatheticStudent: Despite his curious nature, Heath makes it clear he wishes he didn't need to go to school. He'd rather learn things in a more hands-on way.
853--> '''Heath''': Why do I gotta go to school? I can learn everything I need to know just by going out adventuring, like my dad!
854* ConstantlyCurious: He loves learning and is always asking questions. Not surprising given his inventor and archaeologist parents.
855* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Wants to be an adventurer when he grows up, like his dad.
856* SignatureHeadgear: Like his dad, he always wears a hat, though his is a pith helmet rather than a cowboy hat.

866* GirlyGirl: Probably the girliest out of all the rival daughters, with her bow, pink dress, and interest in fashion.

877* FlowersOfFemininity: Wears a flower in her hair as a nod to her mother's fashion sense.
878* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Hopes to become mayor when she grows up, like her grandfather.
879* ProperLady: Aspires to be this; she has an event where she talks about loving etiquette lessons.
880* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks like a little gender-swapped clone of her father. Both her parents have blue eyes, so in an attempt at [[PatchworkKids blending their features]], she does have her mom's square eye shape.
881* SugarAndIcePersonality: Seems to have largely taken on her father's aloof and serious personality, but she's much quicker to smile than he is.
882
883!!Roy
