Characters who have appeared in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody.
For characters from other games in the series, check out the Characters page here.
- Expy: Most of the characters in MM were lifted straight from the original or StH, with the exceptions of...
Adam / Amanda
The main character of the game.- Dub Name Change: They're "Tina" and "Tito" in Japan.
- Girlish Pigtails: Amanda, despite being an adult.
- Expy:
- Amanda is pretty much Sara with pigtails and different colored clothes.
- Adam is even closer to Pete. He looks near identical but has a separate Canon Name nevertheless.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: They're quite youthful and are The Hero.
- Silent Protagonist: Played with. When the player acquires a note, s/he shouts "Lucky!". When they catch a fish, they say "I got—". When they talk to someone in cutscenes, they are shown speaking, but no lines of dialogue comes out from them.
- Suddenly Voiced: In My Little Shop.
- Vocal Dissonance: Adam has a pretty deep voice, while he looks almost prepubescent thanks to the Super-Deformed style.
Jamie
Another farmer in town who quickly becomes your rival. Will always be the opposite gender of the player.- The Ace: When compared to you on how high the record is between you and them.
- Ambiguous Gender: Has a very androgynous appearance in order to allow for being either male or female depending on the game file.
- Broken Ace: They've become cynical due to humanity's cruelty and disrespect of the Harvest Goddess.
- Bifauxnen: Or Pretty Boy. Like any marriageable candidate, Jamie is conventionally good-looking. And since their gender is customisable, Jamie can be seen as a Long-Haired Pretty Boy or a handsome girl.
- Gender-Blender Name: Enforced. Since Jamie can be either male or female, depending on the player's gender, their name has to be androgynous enough to suit both genders.
- Nonstandard Game Over: If you marry them in the English version or Japanese "For World" edition. This is because Jamie was not available to marry in the original Japanese version. It was added in the upgraded rerelease.
- Red String of Fate: While you don't have to marry them, and we don't encourage you to, everyone in the games has a love interest who they will happily court if it weren't for you, thus making you the canon pairing. This is mostly due to the fact the Japanese version didn't have Jamie as a love interest.
- The Rival: The local rival farmer.
Blue
- Expy: Of Gray in 64. They're both quiet farmers with similar designs and names.
- The Quiet One: He doesn't speak much.
Ray
- The Ditz: He doesn't really know what to talk about besides fishing. And if he likes you then he starts becoming incredibly nervous and awkward around you... even after you're married.
- The Drifter: Doesn't apparently live anywhere. It's left vague where he even sleeps.
- Expy: Of Cliff, both in appearance and the apparent lack of permanent housing.
Alex
- Curtains Match the Windows: Black eyes and black hair.
- Expy: Of Doctor from the Mineral Town game.
- Hospital Hottie: He's the attractive local doctor.
Carl
A young man who dreams of opening his own cafe in town, but doesn't quite have the startup funds available when the game begins. He will end up getting a job at the Moonlight Cafe once it opens, and soon after he does indeed manage to open up his cafe.- Expy: Bares a resemblance to Jeff (though is younger, blonder, and clean shaven). He is also a baker like Jeff was in 64.
- Older Than They Look: Looks very young and is often mistaken for a child.
Dan
- Ambiguously Brown: He's darker than most characters and has black hair. His design and traveler ways imply he's Romani.
- Expy: Much less than others but he's similar to Kai in 64, being an Ambiguously Brown man dressed in purple and working at a winery.
- Hot Gypsy Woman: Gender-inverted. He's an attractive traveler who's implied to be Roma. He can be married if you play as female.
- Vocal Dissonance: He has a surprisingly high pitched voice.
Henry
A travelling painter who comes to town after the player has planted a few fruit trees.- The Drifter: He's a travelling artist.
Tai
The blacksmith. He moves into town once you ship at least one of every ore.- Expy: He looks like the peddler from the original game but has a different role and personality.
Meryl
Ronald's niece. She moves into town once Ronald expands the orchard.- Creepy Child: Constantly talks about unsettling things like her fear of death.
- Dark and Troubled Past: It's never specified what happened but she greatly fears death, doesn't want to grow up, and has constant nightmares.
- Expy: She visually resembles both the fortune teller's granddaughter from the first game and May from 64.
- Primal Fear: She has a noticeable fear of death.
