* HairColors:
** The most common depiction has her with green hair.
** The Harvest Goddess from ''Save the Homeland'' has blue hair.
** Marina and Mariel from ''Hero of Leaf Valley'' and ''Magical Melody'', respectively, have purple hair.

* HolidayCeasefire: Of a sort. If a male farmer marries the Witch Princess in ''A New Beginning'', the Harvest Goddess will propose this for the farmer's sake and bless their wedding.

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Romancing her leads to this, as she's centuries old. But none of her marriagable versions seem to ever bring this matter up.

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'.\\

* RapunzelHair: Several of her appearances have hair down to the ground.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* UnwinnableByMistake: Cannot be married in the North American 1.0 and 1.05 versions of ''DS'' because of the Necklace not appearing in the Mining List, failing the 'Find Everything In The Mine' requirement. And getting Buckwheat Flour from the New Year's Eve festival can be difficult, resulting in not shipping it or recipes that use it, failing the 'Ship Everything' requirement. This was finally fixed in the game's 1.1 version release.

* UnwinnableByMistake: Cannot be married in the North American 1.0 and 1.05 versions of ''DS'' because of a coding mistake, leading to Witch not counting how many farm animals the player has killed off, and leaving that requirement unfulfillable. This was finally fixed in the game's 1.1 version release.

A group of tiny fairy-like guys who wear poofy, colorful clothing. In several of the games, they will help you with your farmwork if you befriend them.

* FlowersInHerHair: Several depictions of her.

!! The Male Farmer (Pete)

!! The Female Farmer (Sara, Claire, Pony)

The female player character. Earlier games basically used a distaff-counterpart version of why she took over the farm, though instead of being their own grandfather, it was that of an old man that she befriended as a child.\\

!!Harvest Sprites

!!The Harvest Goddess

!!The Witch Princess

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]]''.\\

* ProtagonistWithNoPast: Nothing is known about them. Most games simply have him take over the farm, though ''Friends of Mineral Town'' shows that he had really good childhood memories of staying there.

!![[DistaffCounterpart The Other Farmer]] (CanonName: Claire (BTN:FG), Sara (GB), Pony ([=AnWL=]).
The female version of Pete. Usually a city-girl that becomes a farmer out of boredom.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Claire has blond hair, Sara has reddish-brown, and Pony has brown.
* CoolBigSis

* [[FarmBoy Farm Girl]]: [[CaptainObvious Well they farm... And they're a girl...]]
* HeroicMime - Aside from the occasional situation where you're required to answer a question (like heart events), she's usually one.
** InnerMonologue happens in a few game, as with her [[DistaffCounterpart male counterpart]].
* MeaningfulName: Pony has a "pony-tail" and is a farmer who later owns a "Pony".

!!The Farmer (CanonName: Pete)
The player character. In most games, his recently-deceased grandfather has passed the farm down to him, and he must work to bring it back to its former glory.

* FarmBoy (duh!)
* GameFavoredGender: For the most part, especially in the earlier games, in which there either was no female option, or the female option's game would be cut off at marriage, whereas the male's could go on after.
* HeroicMime: Most of the games in which he appears, though you do get options to answer questions now and then (like heart events).
** InnerMonologue in a few others
* NiceHat: It's changed colors a few times (green to blue) but he's never seen without it.

* HonestAxe: The Harvest Goddess in the original game only appeared this way, asking the farmer if they dropped a Golden Axe into her pond. Choosing No results in her giving them the Golden Axe as a reward, while choosing Yes has her chastise them for lying. The Golden Axe ends up becoming available for purchase at the tool shop.
* InterspeciesRomance: She is a deity and the farmer a normal human.

* BareYourMidriff: Commonly depicted wearing only a pale blue tube-top.

* TakenForGrantie
