!!Mark and Chelsea
[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mark_chelsea_2827.png]]
The game's male and female main characters, respectively. Playing as Mark makes Chelsea a marriage candidate, and vice-versa. As a bachelor or bachelorette, they've moved in to learn more farming techniques, staying at Carol's inn on Sprout Island.
----
* AnEconomyIsYou: To the point where all the island's development is either paid for or spurred on by them.
%% * AnimeHair: Mark.
* TheChosenOne: In ''SI'', the sprites choose them to gather the Sunstones.
* {{Everyman}}: Unlike other characters, who have specific likes and dislikes, neither Mark nor Chelsea has anything they explicitly love or hate.
* HeroicMime: Most of the time, when controlled by the player. But, when you play as either of them, the other will arrive on the island eventually as a speaking marriage candidate. Averted in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonFranticFarming Frantic Farming]]'', where both characters are quite chatty.
* LastGirlWins: And Last Guy Wins too, potentially. They're only introduced after the protagonist has acquainted themselves with all the possible candidates, and in ''Sunshine Islands'', has already raised most of the islands. They exist as a fallback in the scenario the protagonist has lost all their potential options to their rivals.
* MythologyGag: Chelsea wears an outfit very much like Sara's clothing.
%% * OfficialCouple: Or as official as it gets in this series.
* PurelyAestheticGender: Except for the love interests they can court, there's no difference in the player genders.
%% * {{Spear|Counterpart}} / DistaffCounterpart: To each other.
