Only when Nadi arrives does anyone stand near her during festivals, and he's her gardener. She is also the hardest bachelorette to court. She might be socially awkward due to years of only interacting with her servants and have difficulty getting close to others. It's heavily implied that her father is extremely neglectful towards her in favor of her older sister, so that's likely another part of why it's hard for her to deal with others. It may even be the case that she was sent out to the country with all her servants so she'd stop bothering her father so much, as TheUnfavorite.

She talks about her family, and how she and her husband raised their grandson for a number of years because he didn't want to move to the city with the rest of the family. Yet she bequeaths the farm to ''you'', whom she's only known for a matter of weeks, rather than to any of her children or grandchildren. Not only that, but no one in her family shows up for the funeral or seems to be at all aware that she has died. Where are these people? Has something happened to them?

* Fritz always seems to be absolutely destitute, but there's no clear reason given as to why. However, in one episode of ''Oak Tree Times'', Mistel relates the story of how Fritz once came into the shop, insisted on helping him clean, and ended up accidentally destroying a lot of valuable merchandise because he hit his head and became dizzy. Mistel said that after escorting the hapless Fritz to the clinic, he would be sending him an invoice for everything he ruined. One can't help but wonder if Fritz's perpetual poverty is caused by the fact that he's still trying to pay for all those antiques - any money he brings in must go straight to Mistel!

Those crops wilted either because she couldn't care for them or because the season changed. Either way, she never bothered to replace them because she was too sick and doing so might've been too strenuous for her.]]
** [[spoiler: Actually, the turnips she has you plant there in the beginning of the year, during the tutorial, stay there. They're yours to water, fertilize, and harvest. So most likely, the player just forgot to water those turnips and they wilted, leaving them to forget about them till winter.]]
*** The first poster is actually correct (And not just the turnips). Over the course of the first year, [[spoiler: poor Eda first starts complaining about her ill health and pain. Then she stops taking part in any rival events. Then she stops taking part in festivals. Then she stops going into town altogether. Then she stops leaving her house, period, and if you visit the farm all her crops are dead and the livestock are all unfed. This happens over the course of that first year, when many players are too busy running around to notice, but if you do, then... it all hits you like a sack of bricks as to why it's happening. And then the ungrateful town just demolishes her house into an empty field and never talks about her ever again.]]
*** [[spoiler: The first poster is actually ''incorrect'' about the turnips. They are ''yours'' to water and harvest. Not Eda's. Eda has you plant and water them when she teaches you about growing crops. You essentially get free turnips as a result of the tutorial. The turnips not being watered are not a sign of Eda's health declining - ''they were always yours to begin with.'' Why else on Earth would ''you'' be allowed to water and harvest them? Please pay attention.]]
* Fritz always seems to be absolutely destitute, but there's no clear reason given as to why. However, in one episode of ''Oak Tree Times'', Mistel relates the story of how Fritz once came into the shop, insisted on helping him clean, and ended up accidentally destroying a lot of valuable merchandise because he hit his head and became dizzy. Mistel said that after escorting the hapless Fritz to the clinic, he would be sending him an invoice for everything he ruined. One can't help but wonder if Fritz's perpetual poverty is caused by the fact that he's still trying to pay for all those antiques - any money he brings in must go straight to Mistel!

* Elise comes off as a rich snob, but she doesn't take part in the yearly fireworks festivals, and doesn't seem to have any friends. She might be socially awkward due to years of only interacting with her servants, and is also the hardest to court. So she must have difficulty getting close to others.
** [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that her father is extremely neglectful towards her in favor of her older sister, so that's likely another part of why it's hard for her to deal with others.]]

* Otmar's terrible memory is funny for the most part, but it takes on a different light when you consider that [[spoiler:he and Eda were very good friends - but after her funeral, he never mentions her again. Neither does anyone else, granted, but one has to wonder... is it age-related dementia beginning to set in? Has he ''forgotten'' her?]]
