| 8 | |
| 9 | An odd young man who can transform into a Wooly by means of a TransformationTrinket. Like the other two games in the main series, he ends up in town with no memories and is given a farm to tend. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * AmnesiacLover: He becomes this to one of the bachelorettes and eventually his fiancée. [[spoiler:In the end after he resuces her from the Dragon Cave Aquaticus, Native Dragon of Water, offers to restore his memories, but he'd need to leave his fiancée behind, so Micah chooses to stay with only the memories restored from the orbs and live his life in Sharance.]] |
| 12 | * BadassAdorable: In Wooly form and even in human form. |
| 13 | * BadLiar: He's absolutely horrible at hiding his nervousness when lying or trying to hide something. Especially if someone points out the coincidence of having him and the golden wooly nearby. [[spoiler:It gets him in trouble with Sakuya throughout her requests when she pieces together hints and clues that Micah is indeed the golden wooly that's been helping her.]] |
| 14 | * BigEater: He mentions in some conversations with Ondorus and Shara that he isn't a very picky eater. In fact Shara saying she's been fasting because she got a bit of weight is one of the few times Micah is actively upset-- he tells her, in a very stern tone, never to skip a meal and exercise properly to lose weight. |
| 15 | * BountyHunter: [[spoiler:What few bits of his old life is learned from the orbs is that he went to Sharance on his own volition to hunt the five boss monsters causing trouble there and send all of them to the Forest of Beginnings.]] |
| 16 | * CharacterTics: Micah tends to sigh, gasp, groan or let out a small chuckle when faced with the more ridiculous antics of Sharance's populace. |
| 17 | * TheChosenOne: [[spoiler:He was chosen by Aquaticus, the Native Dragon God of Water, as the one to mend the relationship between Sharance and the Univir of Sol Terrano Desert to make the flowers of Sharance Tree bloom which prevents the region from withering and dying. It's ultimately a downplayed example as Aquaticus wasn't completely sure if Micah would be able to do it, but decided anyway due to Micah's kind nature and being a HalfHumanHybrid.]] |
| 18 | * ComicTrio: He gets sucked into one with Sakuya and Pia when you do their requests. He ends up playing the voice of reason role. |
| 19 | * DeadpanSnarker: So far he's been the most snarky protagonist, way more than Raguna, Kyle, Lest/Frey, Aden/Sonja, and Ares/Alice. Being surrounded by the quirky townsfolk of Sharance does help in both "deadpan" and "snarker" department. Micah also starts the trend of having the protagonist being able to say some ''real'' sarcastic things with your input, and sometimes even without. |
| 20 | * {{Determinator}}: At the end, [[spoiler:walking through a TIDAL WAVE OF MAGICAL DRAGON GOD MAGIC AND LOGS for the sake of his fiancée]]. |
| 21 | * EasyAmnesia: Micah loses his memories after being, quite literally, thrown into Sharance. [[spoiler:The easy part comes with his memories being whisked away by Aquaticus. Micah does recover part of his memories from the orb pedestals he finds, however most of them, from his life previous to arriving in Sharance, remains sealed as he refuses Aquaticus offer to restore them and leave Sharance (and his fiancée).]] |
| 22 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: [[spoiler:The orbs that restore part of his memories allude to Micah being an experienced BountyHunter before he ended up in Sharance. But due to his amnesia he has to go FromZeroToHero.]] |
| 23 | * TheGadfly: Sometimes. He can give sarcastic answers just to tell he's messing with the person in question. If he has high enough FP with some of the girls he can tease them, despite his penchant for [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]], asking if they like him or outright giving them a SarcasticConfession (which gets most of them flustered). |
| 24 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: When in his wooly form he foregoes all weapons, tools and rune abilities in favor of a bare-handed combat aptly named "Brawling" (Fist in ''Special'') in his skill gains. He can still use magic as a wooly, however. |
| 25 | * GuileHero: He's surprisingly good at calming down people in a fret and proposing solutions to certain problems. Case in point: Micah is able to convince Wells to restore the Unity Festival with his words and being honest about his half-human, half-monster nature. [[spoiler:It does take a lot more effort to convince Kuruna, however.]] |
| 26 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: If someone's in trouble Micah will usually step in to help in any way he can. [[spoiler:And it's his altruism that made him to be chosen by Aquaticus in order to restore peace between humans and univir.]] |
| 27 | * HelloInsertNameHere: Micah initially doesn't remember his name so he makes up one on the fly. The first orb reveals that his actual name is... [[spoiler:the name you choose. A lucky coincidence as Micah himself notes.]] |
| 28 | * HenshinHero: Complete with [[TransformationTrinket transformation belt]]. |
| 29 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human, half-monster-- Wooly in his case. |
| 30 | %%* TheHero: Well, duh. |
| 31 | * HiddenDepths: Micah is surprisingly knowledgeable about vegetables and it's unknown if he already knew it or picked it up after becoming Sharance's farmer. Higher FP dialogues with Rusk will have him mentioning several facts about vegetables in an attempt to sway Rusk's bad opinion of veggies. |
| 32 | * HowDoIShotWeb: He has no idea of how to use his Transformation Belt at the beginning and once he remembers he still has to train in his Wooly form in order to relearn his Brawling/Fist skills. |
| 33 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: The king of them all. Farm tools, vegetables, backscratchers, cutlery, all are valid weapons. |
| 34 | * InterspeciesRomance: He's half Wooly, so any relationship will be this. Exaggerated since a 4 of his potential [[HornedHumanoid wives]] [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent aren't]] [[ThePhoenix human]]. |
| 35 | * KillerRabbit: [[SweetSheep Woolies are some of the weakest, least-aggressive monsters in the series]]. Then along comes Micah. |
| 36 | * KungFuWizard: His Wooly form can only use his fists and magic to fight. |
| 37 | * LamePunReaction: Usually reacts with annoyance or surprise at puns. In ''Special'' he usually retorts with a pun of his own sometimes. |
| 38 | -->'''Gaius:''' Squid. Sunsquid. Lampsquid... Ex-squid-zit...\ |
| 39 | '''Micah:''' ''No.'' |
| 40 | * MagicKnight: Micah can become proficient with both weapons as well magic. |
| 41 | * MorphicResonance: Upon transforming he becomes a wooly with golden wool befitting his blonde hair. |
| 42 | * NeverBareheaded: His wooly form is always wearing a nice, cute, acorn shaped hat. [[spoiler:Except one time he has to disguise himself as a regular wooly in order to find out why Raven is avoiding him all of sudden.]] |
| 43 | * NiceGuy: As per tradition, Micah is a good natured guy, but with that said he's not unflappable and more often than not will be left speechless by the colorful residents of Sharance. |
| 44 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: If you befriend Sherman and Sofia, Evelyn notices that even Micah is a bit strange on his own to get along with them so well. |
| 45 | * ObliviousToLove: Comes off as this, especially during certain conversations if the FP with the bacherolettes is high enough. Some dates can have the girls all but saying to his face they love him but Micah will remain blissfully unaware with more than one girl noting how "dense" he is [[note]]at least Sakuya, Karina and Collette comment on this[[/note]]. Until he decides to reciprocate one of them with an Engagement Ring that is. |
| 46 | * OnlySaneMan: While all protagonists of ''Rune Factory'' have been this to an extent Micah stands out since he has to constantly deal with the populace of [[QuirkyTown Sharance]], which seems to be a town of {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s, and more than once he does notice how many strange people live in it. |
| 47 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Micah's wooly form can hit ''very'' hard and he can throw around monsters many times his size. |
| 48 | * RenaissanceMan: Farming, cooking, blacksmithing, crafting, pharmacy and social interactions are some of the things Micah masters over his time in Sharance. |
| 49 | * ScreamingWarrior: Micah will showcase how strong his vocal cords are when using Magic and Rune Abilities. |
| 50 | * UnderstandingBoyfriend: Whatever quirks the marriage candidates have Micah has the option to tell them he likes them the way they are. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Or act like a jerk and make a joke or be a little too honest for his good.]] |
| 51 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: At first Micah is taken aback by the quirkier townsfolk (Marian, Sofia, Pia) but he quickly gets used to them. Well, mostly. |
| 52 | * UnwittingPawn: A benevolent example. [[spoiler:Aquaticus eventually reveals he used Micah, erasing his memories, in a gamble to mend the relationship between the humans and univirs and make he Sharance Tree flowers bloom, thus preventing the entire region from withering and dying. Aquaticus wasn't even sure if this would work but it was his best bet due to Micah's half-human, half-monster nature and Micah's kindness.]] |
| 53 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Via the aforementioned transformation belt, Micah is capable of assuming the form of [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent a Golden Wooly]]. |
| 54 | * WarriorTherapist: Micah often lends his ear and shoulder to people in trouble and is more than willing to listen to their issues and insecurities all while offering advice to them. |
| 55 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The one thing that consistently gets Micah nervous is being shaved in his wooly form. Unfortunately for him being an unseen, possibly quite rare, Golden Wooly makes certain people, like Sakuya for example, to ''really'' want a piece of golden fleece. |
| 56 | * YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Micah talks like this during Monica's "Rose Prince" request, but only in ''Special''. |

| 66 | ->''"A kind and generous girl who raises flowers with love and care."'' |
| 67 | -->-- Character description in ''Rune Factory 3'' |
| 68 | |
| 69 | ->''"A gentle girl who loves flowers and is kind to everyone she meets. She has put herself in charge of caring for the flower field in Privera Forest."'' |
| 70 | -->-- Character description in ''Rune Factory 3 Special'' |
| 71 | |
| 72 | -> '''Family:''' Wells, Monica |
| 73 | \ |
| 74 | The main heroine, a girl who tends the flower shop with her grandfather Wells and sister Monica. She initially finds Micah injured outside in his wooly form and takes care of him overnight. |
| 75 | ---- |
| 76 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Her and Monica's parents are never mentioned. |
| 77 | * BoringButPractical: When fighting (at moderately higher levels) Shara sticks to combo that consists of two normal attacks and a charged attack finisher that does double damage. It's far from flashy, but since waterpots use INT, which grows very fast for Shara, she will do a lot of damage if nothing's there to interrupt her. |
| 78 | * CaringGardener: Shara works in Fantastic Flowers, Wells' flower shop, and took to herself the job of taking care of the flower bed of Privera Forest. |
| 79 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Not present before the player marries her, but after the fact, her personality does a complete 180, with all of her post-marriage lines containing thinly-veiled hints of jealousy and Shara herself developing much more of an attitude, losing most, if not all, of the sweetness she had pre-marriage. |
| 80 | ** This is largely averted in ''Special'' with most of her snippy dialogue being re-translated. |
| 81 | * CoolBigSis: Acts as this for Monica when she's not scolding her for biting Micah. |
| 82 | * DevelopersDesiredDate: She's the canon heroine. To the point that regardless of which girl the player has Micah marry, the ending cinematic will ''always'' show Shara being the one he runs to embrace, which can be off-putting to say the least. |
| 83 | * FieryRedhead: Inverted. She's one of the nicest, calmest residents of Sharance. |
| 84 | * FirstGirlWins: If you marry her. Shara is the first girl that meets Micah while, unbeknownst to her, he was locked in his wooly form. |
| 85 | * FlowersOfFemininity: She works in a flower shop and wears some flower accessories on her outfit. |
| 86 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Subverted. Monica thinks Shara's the foolish sibling, when she's actually playing along to make her feel mature. |
| 87 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: She doesn't have the same bias against monsters like her grandfather does. Some of her requests has her getting along with some docile monsters with no problem. |
| 88 | * HiddenDepths: Shara can be surprisingly artful when dealing with a more hardheaded person like her grandfather. She tells Monica to ask him for a hand-knit hat after he brushed off the idea of knitting fully knowing Wells wouldn't have the heart to say no. Even Micah is surprised by this. |
| 89 | * ICallItVera: Her starter weapon is a Tin Waterpot that she calls "Mr. Sprinkles". |
| 90 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her weapon of choice is a watering can, [[ICallitVera and she calls it "Mr. Sprinkles".]] When adventuring she mostly stands back, but if push comes to shove she'll use the waterpot to attack enemies with water-element attacks. Waterpots, especially higher tiered ones, also have the benefit of boosting M.ATK quite a bit. |
| 91 | * InnocentBlueEyes: As pictured. Shara is one of the kinder, and less quirky, people living in Sharance and she's the one who rescues and heals a wounded Micah (in his Wooly form) despite her grandfather's protests. |
| 92 | * InnocentFlowerGirl: She wears flowers as part of her daily attire and she loves to receive them as gifts. |
| 93 | * LocationThemeNaming: In-universe, Shara is named after the tree and town. Also applies to her Japanese name as the town and tree are called "Sialens". |
| 94 | * LoveConfession: [[spoiler:Shara is one of the few bachelorettes that confesses her love for Micah after a certain request is finished. No implications, no words left open to interpretation, she says "I love you", though this leaves her very sheepish.]] |
| 95 | * MeaningfulGift: Flowers are an obvious choice, but high grade waterpots (Rainbow, Joy) and difficult to raise flowers, ones available after Vale River is cleared, are among Shara's favorites. |
| 96 | * TheMedic: Shara is unique in that she's the only villager with access to both Cure and Medi spells. If Micah takes her out adventuring, she mostly stands back and heals him. Compared to other people with healing magic Shara is the one has the shortest cooldown between each cast. |
| 97 | * PromotionToParent: Shara acts very motherly towards Monica making sure she behaves and not letting Wells spoil her ''too'' much. Some of her dialogue has her scolding Monica a bit not unlike a parent would do. |
| 98 | * RaisedByGrandparents: She and Monica live with their grandfather. |
| 99 | * SiblingYinYang: She's very friendly, patient and receptive even towards strangers. The complete opposite of her little sister, Monica. |
| 100 | * SignatureHeadgear: Wears a distinct one that sort of looks like a bridal veil. |
| 101 | * SilkHidingSteel: Calm, polite and friendly, but perfectly capable of adventuring with you. She can defeat monsters with her watering pot and her attacks can be surprisingly damaging at higher levels. |
| 102 | * {{Sleepwalking}}: According to Monica, Shara will sometimes sleepwalk into her bed. |
| 103 | * TheSocialExpert: She's usually the one who will inform you of someone's birthday if the person in question hasn't told you yet and Shara seems to be friends with almost everyone in town having knowledge of what they like as well. |
| 104 | * WeightWoe: Shara expresses some concern about gaining weight at times. In one she will actually push Micah's BerserkButton by saying she's been fasting and skipping meals which has Micah sternly tell her not to do that. Another time has her mentioning eating something sweet and a good night of sleep is the perfect way to get rid of tiredness... but overdoing it will get you in trouble with the balance. |
| 105 | * WhiteMagicianGirl: She's very feminine, plays a healer role when taken into battle, and takes in any wounded monster despite her grandfather's protests. |

| 119 | -> '''Family:''' None. |
| 120 | \ |
| 121 | Gaius's apprentice. Mostly silent and sour-faced, although she's hiding a secret. She's the first girl Micah meets while he's conscious. |
| 122 | ---- |
| 123 | * AimlesslySeekingHappiness: She wants to be happy, but has no idea of what happiness means for her. |
| 124 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: She never knew her parents. [[spoiler:Considering she's a phoenix, she may never have had any.]] |
| 125 | * BadassLongcoat: She is almost never seen without her signature white longcoat over her midriff-barring top. |
| 126 | * BrokenBird: NoPunIntended. From the get go it's obvious she's had some rough times in her life. Raven herself mentions she's "cursed" and people around her tend to disappear, so she keeps everyone at arm's length. |
| 127 | * CombatMedic: She's aggressive in combat and can cast Cure All if her or your health gets too low, though not on the same frequency as Shara. |
| 128 | * TheComicallySerious: Some of Raven's conversations and dates has her telling how aware she is of Sharance's quirky townsfolk, all without ever breaking her solemn demeanor. |
| 129 | * ContinuityNod: In her cameo in ''Rune Factory 4'', she mentions gifts for Karina, Sofia, and Evelyn, refers to Gaius as her father who isn't a father and makes really good equipment that he forgets to sell, and blushes while saying that Woolies are her favorite monster. She also mentions that Marian, Collette and Rusk have inherited their family businesses as well. |
| 130 | * CuteMonsterGirl: [[spoiler:She's actually a humanoid Phoenix who can shapeshift into a totally human form.]] |
| 131 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Until Micah befriends her he'll be given a very cold treatment with many silent and awkward moments between both. Once he does get to know her Raven reveals a much more tender and caring (even clingy) side of her. |
| 132 | * DoesNotKnowHowToSayThanks: Raven has a hard time being openly thankful due to her aloof nature. |
| 133 | * FirstGirlWins: If she is picked as the bride, as Raven is the first girl Micah gets acquainted with when he wakes up in Sharance. |
| 134 | * FreakinessShame: [[spoiler:Micah pretty much tells her "But your wings are beautiful" after she reveals her phoenix form.]] |
| 135 | * {{Foil}}: To Micah and Pia. |
| 136 | ** [[spoiler:Pia is bubbly and cheerful on the outside, but has some inner pains she doesn't understand and never makes an attempt to hide her mermaid form, Raven is cold on the outside, but hides a very warm side, she's also very afraid of anyone discovering her phoenix form.]] |
| 137 | ** [[spoiler:Micah is very outspoken and friendly to everyone, but has to hide his monster form as he knows the bias some people have against monsters, including the town mayor, Wells. Raven on the other hand hides her form due to a mixture of fear of being abandoned for it and that said form is "cursed" to make people around her disappear, rather than just fear of the prejudice against monsters.]] |
| 138 | * GlassCannon: Raven has a pretty aggressive AI and both her STR and INT are nothing to sneeze about, but her VIT growth is abysmal, so you have to keep Cure Alls and healing food handy, and give her a good protective accessory, because she might get knocked out as fast as she can beat monsters. [[spoiler:Doubly so in her Phoenix form]]. |
| 139 | * HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Being half-human and half-monster, a Phoenix, is a great source of internal conflict/shame for her and is one of the major reasons Raven avoids befriending strangers.]] |
| 140 | * HatesBeingAlone: Raven feels very lonely, but is deeply afraid of her "curse" which makes people close to her disappear. Because of that she tries her best to keep everyone from getting too close to her. |
| 141 | * HypercompetentSidekick: Although Gaius is the owner of the weapon shop and a skilled blacksmith, he has little to no economic sense and admits that if it wasn't for Raven running the shop, it would've tanked a long while ago. |
| 142 | * IcyBlueEyes: Denoting her cold and aloof personality towards strangers. |
| 143 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Even after they're married, she'll constantly ask Micah for reassurance that he loves her. |
| 144 | * MagicKnight: Raven is good with one-handed swords and can use both fire and healing magic in combat. |
| 145 | * MeaningfulName: The localization gives her one. Her Japanese name is a little subtle; Toona is a genus of mahogany that has red wood. |
| 146 | * MeaningfulGift: She loves pendants as it was the first thing Gaius taught her to make. Any pendant that's not the basic Silver Pendant are her favorite gifts. Raven also likes crystals of any type since they're used to craft pendants. |
| 147 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She dislikes smiling freely to the point of making some zany schemes not unlike Sakuya's and several other excuses just so she doesn't have to smile to the costumers. Some festivals make her less serious side come out too, especially when she's talking with Karina and Sofia and she partakes in some quick pranks like pelting Sofia with beans. |
| 148 | * NotSoStoic: Her less serious side comes out whenever the theme of ghosts pop up with Raven sometimes brushing off the subject in an almost childish way. [[spoiler:On a much more serious note her late events reveal how deeply afraid she is of her own "curse", but at the same time how she doesn't want anyone else to be hurt because of her.]] |
| 149 | * ThePhoenix: [[spoiler:A shapeshifting variant who has assumed a human form.]] |
| 150 | * PlayingWithFire: Capable of using fire magic when fighting alongside you. [[spoiler:Her Phoenix form spams it like there's no tomorrow.]] |
| 151 | * OddFriendship: With Karina and Sofia. With Karina both seem to appreciate the brevity of their talks and understand each other while Micah is left wondering what they're on about. With Sofia, Raven seems to appreciate her advice especially when it comes to shopkeeping. |
| 152 | * SecretDiary: To make it not so secret: Upstairs, bookshelf in the lower right bedroom. A ShoutOut to the diaries in older games, as the player increases her RelationshipValues she writes more about Micah. |
| 153 | * TheStoic: Raven is very serious and keeps to herself avoiding small talk as much as possible. |
| 154 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She seems icy and aloof, but she's got a very warm and loving heart, and she's a lot more tender than she lets others see. |
| 155 | * TerseTalker: Unlike Karina who's just plain lazy and doesn't bother finishing most her sentences, Raven simply likes being straight to the point, but sometimes so much that she leaves Micah guessing what's going through her mind. |
| 156 | * TownGirls: She's the Butch to Karina's Neither and Sofia's Femme, due to her aloof personality and her job of going out to collect materials for forging. |
| 157 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type A, but less harsh than most examples out there as Raven is more cold and distant than angry or aggressive. Raven has difficulty accepting people getting close to her, but every now and then shows how much she cares about her friends. If Micah gets close to her she'll sometimes call him "idiot" (or "dummy" in ''Special'') if he says something that makes her happy, but also flustered. |
| 158 | * VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: If Micah builds up a relationship with her then marries someone else, she'll write a heart wrenching entry in her diary about how she thought Micah loved her. |
| 159 | * VisibleSilence: And it's all Micah gets early on. Her silent treatment is even more noticeable since she's around the quirky and lively townsfolk of Sharance. |
| 160 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler:She has a monster form, a phoenix, which she can turn into at will, but hides it in shame fearing she'd be hated and ostracized for it and that the same form has a curse that makes people close to her disappear. Once a late request of her is completed she won't hide it anymore and will even use to fight alongside Micah. In this form Raven is even more aggressive in combat and will favor her fire spells.]] |
| 161 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's scared of ghost and spooky things. Giving anything related to them (Ghost Hood, Skulls) is a very good way to tank your relationship with her. |

| 175 | -> '''Family:''' Hazel |
| 176 | \ |
| 177 | Hazel's daughter. A slacker who wants to leave the little town she's in and enter high society. She can be found hanging with Sofia and Raven, or at 5 PM collecting from your shipping box. |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Continuing the trend of single-parent children, it's never mentioned where her dad is. |
| 180 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Karina is lazy, but she is not a pushover. Choose the wrong options during certain dialogues or dates with her and you can be certain she ''won't'' be too lazy to call you out on it. |
| 181 | * BrilliantButLazy: One request with Karina shows she can be very responsible and levelheaded on the rare case where she doesn't let her laziness get the better of her. Karina can use magic spells, which surprises Micah, given it would take a lot of effort to learn them. Karina's reason is that learning spells is less tiring than carrying and swinging weapons. |
| 182 | * CharacterDevelopment: While she never outgrows her lazy side she learns to appreciate Sharance more and stops thinking running to the big city is the solution to her problems. She also learns to appreciate Hazel a bit more as well. |
| 183 | * CharacterTics: Rare will be a conversation where Karina doesn't yawn or sigh. |
| 184 | * DeadpanSnarker: Underneath all that laziness there's a very snarky girl. Being perpetually sleepy also helps a lot in the "deadpan" part. |
| 185 | * DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Has these expressing her perpetual laziness. |
| 186 | * ForgetfulJones: She rarely bothers remembering festivals until she's at them because it's just too much trouble. |
| 187 | * FreudianExcuse: She became apathetic about work because [[spoiler:her mother was always working when she was a kid, which caused her to avoid the store because she didn't want to bother Hazel. Eventually she started to keep most problems to herself rarely asking for Hazel's aid]]. |
| 188 | * TheGadfly: She likes to tease her friends, mostly Sofia whenever she's in the General Store asking what Sofia thinks of Micah. Depending on Sofia's response she gets bored (if both are indifferent towards him), has her fun with Sofia's flustered reaction (if Sofia has feelings for Micah, but she doesn't) or worried (if she also has feelings for Micah). This is lightly deconstructed as in one of her conversations with DialogueTree if Micah says what she likes is "teasing people" Karina won't be very flattered with herself if that's how she makes Micah remember her. |
| 189 | * HiddenDepths: Karina has a surprisingly sharp mind and can be very stubborn when something picks her interest (and doesn't immediately die of laziness/boredom). On the quest where Micah accompanies her on a day's deliveries, she's shown to actually be a savvy businesswoman when the pressure is on. |
| 190 | * InnerMonologue: Most of times half of her dialogue is thought instead of spoken, she likes to make her point across with as few words as possible. Karina actually gets surprised a few times when she thinks someone read her mind when they actually are just so used to her they can fill in the blanks naturally. It gets a little more confusing when sometimes it's not her thoughts, but Karina just saying stuff under her breath. |
| 191 | * LazyBum: Zig-zagged. Karina is lazy to the point of not even talking entire sentences, but she's also in charge of shipping whatever items you put in the Item Shipment Box and will never miss it one day. With that said if she's in charge of the General Store she will be ''happy'' if you reset the item count or leave without buying anything. |
| 192 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Karina is lazy compared to her workaholic mother. |
| 193 | * MagicStaff: She fights with this type of weapon in dungeons, because they allow her to stand far away and not put as much effort into fighting. |
| 194 | * MeaningfulGift: She likes gems of all sorts except Diamonds which reminds her of her mother and the store which she works at (Diamond Store). |
| 195 | * NotAMorningPerson: Side effect of her also being TheSlacker. |
| 196 | * ProfessionalSlacker: After finishing some of Hazel's requests she notes how much effort Karina puts in skipping work. |
| 197 | * TheSlacker: To the point where every word out of her mouth is accompanied by either a yawn or a sarcastic, tired remark. If Micah marries her, she will rarely even make a lunch for him--and if she does, expect something extremely unspectacular. |
| 198 | * SecretDiary: Micah finds an old one that goes "Dear Diary, I realized today it's too much trouble to keep writing in you, so I won't." |
| 199 | * SmallTownBoredom: She's sick of Sharance and dreams of going to the city (that and to get away from Hazel's constant nagging). At one point she actually starts working in order to get enough money to go. |
| 200 | * TerseTalker: She's so lazy most of times she doesn't even bother finishing her sentences, though we get to see her InnerMonologue, thankfully. |
| 201 | * TownGirls: She's the Neither to Raven's Butch and Sofia's Femme. |
| 202 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Hazel wistfully remarks that Karina used to be the opposite she is today, a very active and playful kid. |
| 203 | * WeightWoe: At the beach, she claims she ate too much last winter and laments that "swimsuits can't hide reality". (For the record, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/harvestmoonrunefactory/images/7/7e/Karina10.png/revision/latest?cb=20140427214154 this]] is Karina in her swimsuit.) |

| 215 | -->-- Character description in ''Rune Factory 3 Special'' |
| 216 | |
| 217 | -> '''Family:''' Shino |
| 218 | \ |
| 219 | Shino's daughter. She runs the curio store in the inn and has a largely childlike personality, but is dead serious when it comes to money. Also a horrible cook. |
| 220 | ---- |
| 221 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Continuing the trend of single-parent children, it's never mentioned where her dad is. |
| 222 | * AsianStoreOwner: Sakuya comes from a (as of yet) unnamed eastern country, the same place Mei and Yue hails from, which has clear Asian themes and she owns a shop that sells "unconventional items" (i.e: shipped monster items). |
| 223 | * BattleCry: "It's over!" when using her Big Fire spell, but only in ''Special''. |
| 224 | * {{BFS}}: When you take her into dungeons, she fights with long sword weapons and uses Rune Skills appropriate to her weapon to deal with enemies. Some of the Longsword looks even like eastern longswords, nodachis, matching Sakuya's theme. |
| 225 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: With Pia, and Micah can join in during one of their requests. |
| 226 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Sakuya usually (tries to) keep Pia's strange line of thought straight. This is more noticeable in her requests and town events where both stick together. |
| 227 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: And seller of the strange too. Her shop sells any monster drops you've shipped, including boss ones. Speaking of which, boss only items are her loved gifts. |
| 228 | ** Some of her dialogue has her finding a "spiky thing" which he claims to be a pillow and offers it to Micah (who understandably nopes away). Another one has her showing a "super rare bug" which makes Micah nope out of it ''even faster''. |
| 229 | * ComicTrio: Forms one with Micah and Pia. She's the idiot who comes up with the bad plans. |
| 230 | * TheDeterminator: She doesn't like dealing with monsters (like [[VideoGame/RuneFactoryFrontier Anette]]), but that doesn't stop her from going into dungeons to collect materials for her shop. |
| 231 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She's not very fond of eggs, not because of their taste, but mostly because they're a source of frustration to her since all of her cooking attempts usually ends with said eggs ''exploding''. |
| 232 | * {{Foil}}: To Pia, her adopted sister. Pia has a very active imagination, gets easily distracted, and doesn't care at all about how much profit the baths are making. Sakuya is (mostly) serious and dedicated to her job focusing more on profits. This also extends to how they fight when following Micah: both uses Longswords and wield magic, but Sakuya is better with weapons while having a modest to decent fire magic while Pia is the opposite being better with her Water magic, but having low damage with weapons. |
| 233 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: You can spend literally millions of G in her shop and she'll still occasionally complain about being in the red. |
| 234 | * GenkiGirl: A little less pronounced than most examples, but Sakuya is still very headstrong and passionate about her job and life in general. |
| 235 | * GoGetterGirl: Sakuya is very focused on two things: her job as merchant and becoming an innkeeper like her mother. |
| 236 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Pia. They've been together since both were little and a random conversation with Sakuya has her mentioning a time when they were younger. Sakuya was sad and after meeting Pia she was pretty much uplifted by Pia's innocent smile. |
| 237 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 238 | ** She's very observant and throughout her requests she slowly figures out on her own that Micah is the golden wooly that's been helping her. [[spoiler:It all comes to a head when she accidentally sees Micah shearing himself, Sakuya mentions deep down she already knew of the connection between the two, but didn't want to admit as she felt Micah was fooling her.]] |
| 239 | ** Give her something she likes and she'll say something about strapping a price tag on it (or putting in her shop display in ''Special'')... Just kidding. And Sakuya does make sure to let you know it was a joke. She may like rare things, but she values her family and friends way more than money. |
| 240 | * HimeCut: Sports one. |
| 241 | * InformedFlaw: Her fear of monsters does nothing to diminish her combat capabilities if she's adventuring with you. |
| 242 | * IntrepidMerchant: Often mentions how she likes to travel to find new odd stuff for her shop. |
| 243 | * LethalChef: Sakuya cannot cook to save her life and everything she tries to cook tends to explode. In one quest she heats the water for a boiled egg... with a ''[[StuffBlowingUp Big Fire spell]]''. Said tendency does not go unnoticed by her mother who wonders why every time Sakuya tries to cook it ends up poorly. [[spoiler:Later in the story she gets attacked by a monster who steals a meal she was intending to share with Micah... who sheepishly wonders why it would steal that kind of food.]] |
| 244 | * MagicKnight: Downplayed. Sakuya fights well having Rune Abilities with Longswords and she can use Big Fire spell to hit enemies from afar, but she's more efficient when fighting up close. But if you give her a Magic Charm, things change and she will hit about as hard with her magic as she would with her sword attacks. |
| 245 | * MeaningfulGift: Most of monster items are good options to gift Sakuya since she likes "odd" things that are difficult to come by and she dislikes dealing with monsters. Boss exclusive items are among her loved gifts. |
| 246 | * MoneyFetish: She's by far the character that has the most focus on getting money and many festivals has her going into full business woman mode. Sakuya is also a bit miffed that Shara didn't make Micah go to the Miyako Inn saying she lost a potential customer. |
| 247 | * PlayingWithFire: She uses the Big Fire spell when partying with you and it's also her favored method of cooking. |
| 248 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Although she looks as small as Collette she wields Longswords to fight and is mostly a physical combatant and she can use fire magic too. |
| 249 | * PluckyGirl: She faces difficulties in both her jobs as innkeeper and merchant, but they rarely slow her down for long. |
| 250 | * PungeonMaster: Sakuya tends to come up with puns here and there, mostly during festivals. |
| 251 | * SpiderSense: Claims to have one for monsters saying Shino trained her so she'd be safe from them. |
| 252 | * SpinAttack: Can use one in the form of the ultimate Longsword attack against enemies if she gets surrounded. |
| 253 | * StraightMan: Sakuya is usually this to the airheaded Pia, but she also has her wacky moments. |
| 254 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sashimi mostly. However since Pia is almost always around she has to eat it hidden from her. |
| 255 | * WalkingTheEarth: She used to travel a lot with her mother going from inn to inn until they settled down in Sharance for good. |
| 256 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She really doesn't like having to deal with monsters mentioning having to run away from them at times. |
| 257 | * WingdingEyes: Give her something valuable and a "G" symbol will appear in her eye. |

| 270 | |
| 271 | -> '''Family:''' None |
| 272 | \ |
| 273 | A happy-go-lucky mermaid who runs the baths in the inn. She has an odd fascination with squid and cares deeply for Sakuya and Shino. |
| 274 | ---- |
| 275 | * BerserkButton: Don't say anything about eating fish near her. Fishes are friends, not food. Squids, on the other hand, are free game. |
| 276 | --> '''Pia:''' So you see, squids are ''evil''. I will eat them. I will eat them ALL. |
| 277 | * {{BFS}}: She prefers using Longswords when in your party. Her starting weapon is a Dekash (a giant tuna) which functionally works as a Longsword. |
| 278 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: With Sakuya, and Micah can join in with them during one of their requests. |
| 279 | * BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Anytime Pia tries to use metaphors (or sarcasm) she either trails off, loses her train of thought, or forgets what she was trying to say in first place. Combine that with Sofia's inverted speech pattern and Pia tells one time Sofia was in the bath and said the water was [[red:lukewarm]][[note]]actually ''hot''[[/note]] and Pia turned up the heat much to Sofia's dismay. |
| 280 | * BrutalHonesty: Pia has a distinct lack of filter and usually just blurts out what's on her mind. Like how Sakuya was supposed to be on a diet during the Eating Festival. Or how much she likes you. |
| 281 | * CharacterTics: She's often humming or singing when you walk or talk to her. She does the same if you wait long enough when she's working in the bath house shop. |
| 282 | * CloudCuckooLander: Her conversations mostly revolve around two things: bathing and squid. |
| 283 | ** If you think she's a loony normally, wait until she realizes her feelings for Micah. Sometimes she gets so confused with her own feelings she starts ''hissing''. In ''Special'' her head apparently [[LogicBomb short-circuits]]. |
| 284 | * ComicTrio: With Sakuya and Micah. She's the idiot who follows Sakuya's lead, although she sometimes misinterprets Sakuya's instructions. |
| 285 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has pink eyes to match her pink hair. Although her eyes are of a darker shade of pink. |
| 286 | * CuteMonsterGirl: She's a mermaid, after all, even though she spends most of the time in a human form. |
| 287 | * TheDitz: Good luck keeping up with her very creative mind. Even Micah struggles to understand some of the things she talks about. |
| 288 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: "Fishes are friends, not food." So she abhors any fish recipe with a passion. |
| 289 | * DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Not at all, something that Micah and Sakuya notes. Sakuya can mention she'll let Blaise take care of fishes she catches and it'll just fly over her head. |
| 290 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: One hint that she actually isn't ThePollyanna; the only other person who has this is [[BrokenBird Raven]]. She might not even realize that she's sad in anyway, when she says her chest "prickles" when seeing a family in the bathhouse. |
| 291 | * EasyAmnesia: Mentions in one dialogue she can't remember life in the ocean except for the occasional dream, which she wakes up crying from. |
| 292 | * {{Foil}}: To Raven. Personality-wise Raven is very quiet, down-to-earth and avoids new people as much as possible, while Pia is very friendly even if quite kooky. [[spoiler:Both can transform, and while Raven has fire-based attacks Pia has water attacks in her mermaid form. Unlike Raven, Pia's mermaid form is known by everyone and she never tries to hide it.]] |
| 293 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Downplayed. She's this for fishes (though not so much towards Squids). Give her a fish and she'll think you're helping her rescue them from being cooked. |
| 294 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In mermaid form she cannot use weapons and will only cast water magic to fight. |
| 295 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: She often says that having her tail out makes it difficult for her to move around, but when she's in mermaid form she still moves the same speed as her human form. |
| 296 | * GenkiGirl: Pia is a peppy girl with a very active imagination. |
| 297 | * HappilyAdopted: Not formally, since she's listed as having no family, but Sakuya and Shino treat her as part of theirs. Pia's perfectly happy with the arrangement and whenever she isn't going on weird tangents about bathing or squids she'll be talking about how happy she is living with Shino and Sakuya. |
| 298 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sakuya who are very close to each other. Pia mentions in a date that she wasn't planning on staying with Sakuya and Shino, but she'd end up going back to their place and she'd always be warmly welcomed there. |
| 299 | * HiddenDepths: Despite her ditzy habits, she's quite intelligent and can easily tell Micah exactly what rainbows are made of, and from a high-level perspective no less. In one of her high FP conversations when she muses if she should go back to the sea if Micah offers to go with her she'll outright say it's a silly idea since she'd live underwater. |
| 300 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: She often tell a story about the fact that she can't talk with the fishes makes the sea very lonely. Her attraction to Sakuya and Shino is because they want to accept her. |
| 301 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her weapon of choice is the Dekash - a weaponized tuna, which counts as a long sword. |
| 302 | * KindheartedSimpleton: Pia never thinks too hard about anything and is almost always in a chirpy mood. Sakuya even mentions her smile is infectious. |
| 303 | * LittleBitBeastly: She has fins on her head and where her ears should be, as well as on her wrists. |
| 304 | * MakingASplash: She uses water spells in battle once in a while. If she's in her mermaid form, she'll only use them. |
| 305 | * MeaningfulGift: Oddly enough, raw fish. Since Pia considers fish her friends if you give one to her she'll think you're helping her rescue them. |
| 306 | * MermaidProblem: Gotten around by having her mermaid tail only come out when she's drenched. (Eg. rain) |
| 307 | * NiceGirl: The simplest way to describe Pia. She never has anything bad to say about anyone, doesn't bother overthinking things and almost always has a smile on her face. |
| 308 | * OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Pia's people change into a human form when they dry off and only regain their tail when soaking wet. Pia is also friends with fish, except for squid, whom she hates and so wants to devour whenever she finds them -- it's unclear if this is a racial thing or just Pia being Pia. |
| 309 | * PungeonMaster: Like Sakuya, but her lack of sarcasm usually ends up with her making either accidental or ones that don't make a lot of sense to anyone but Pia herself. |
| 310 | * RoseHairedSweetie: One of the sweetest characters of the game even if she's quite airheaded. |
| 311 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Squid recipes (Fried, Sashimi) are among her loved gifts. But don't you dare give any other type of sashimi to her, Pia wants to rescue all the fish. Except for squids, which are ''evil''. Fruits are also a good gift for her since she likes eating them raw (or drink juices). |
| 312 | * WaterTriggeredChange: Pia is a mermaid who can take on a human form when dry, but her legs turn into a mermaid's tail when she gets wet. As a gameplay mechanic, she takes on her mermaid form when it's raining outside. |

| 328 | Blaise's daughter, who works as a waitress in her father's restaurant. She's very childlike and innocent, which is often taken advantage of by her friend Marian. |
| 329 | ---- |
| 330 | * AfraidOfDoctors: Well, more that she's afraid of ''Marian'' and her crazy experiments. Despite this both are close friends. |
| 331 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Continuing the trend of single-parent children, it's never mentioned where her mom is. |
| 332 | * BadLiar: A terrible, terrible liar. One of her early requests is "challenging" Micah to a cooking contest... Only that she gets to eat first and declares Micah the winner after eating his dish. She totally didn't want just to eat something! |
| 333 | * BeneathTheMask: Once her FP is high enough she asks if Micah finds her huge appetite off-putting. She's very happy if he says that just how she is and disheartened if he says it's "abhorrent". |
| 334 | * BerserkButton: She's never happy when the topic of her size is brought up. Some of her requests is about her trying to find a way to grow more and she express nervousness when she realizes Monica might outgrow her. Another one is messing with her food, one conversation has her getting really mad at Rusk for him eating away her secret stash of sweets. |
| 335 | * BigEater: Rivals ''Sherman'' in appetite and has several trophies in her room to prove she's not all talk, she'll be always considered one of the favorites to win the Eating Festival too. No matter how much she eats, though, she can't seem to grow any taller, a fact she complains about. |
| 336 | * ButtMonkey: She's Marian's personal guinea pig. One of Marian's events has her trading medicines saying the one she gave Collette would make her explode. Micah swaps it just in time... but it was a mistaken swap and Marian ends up giving Collette something that ''did'' explode, much to her chagrin. Judging by how non-chalant Collette is Micah is astonished to realize it must be a regular occurrence. |
| 337 | * CallBack: She purposefully repeats one her early lines (about her "metabolism") once you're good friends with her just to note how much you've got to know each other ever since. |
| 338 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Often greets you with a cheerful "Heya!" |
| 339 | * CombatMedic: She's a powerful melee fighter and can heal you with her MedicinalCuisine. |
| 340 | * CuteClumsyGirl: One of her ArtificialAtmosphericActions is her falling over. Add that to her MadDoctor of a friend that Marian is and HilarityEnsues. |
| 341 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She hates milk. About the one and only foodstuff that she won't tolerate. |
| 342 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Her name in Japan fits into the family's theme of being named after foods connected to desserts. |
| 343 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Mentions always having something to snack on and it isn't just a random line, when she's in your party she will often chuck food at you if your health gets low. but beware that sometimes she may throw food that can end up causing status effects... |
| 344 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her kindness and cheerfulness is only matched by her endless appetite. |
| 345 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her starting weapon is a giant lollipop, which counts as an axe-type weapon. It's also surprisingly powerful despite its silly look. |
| 346 | * InformedFlaw: Marian claims multiple times that she's a total idiot, but outside of letting her stomach get the better of her when it comes to Marian, she's quite knowledgeable and skilled. |
| 347 | * MagicallyIneptFighter: Collette cannot use magic, but makes up in raw strength and her ability to assist you by throwing food if your HP/RP gets too low. |
| 348 | * MedicinalCuisine: Her specialty. Collette will throw foodstuff to heal Micah if he gets too hurt. However beware that some of the food thrown can cause StatusEffects. |
| 349 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's the shortest and flattest of the bachelorettes because of her dislike of milk. After befriending Collette she mentions she's actually older than Marian and Rusk. In ''Special'' she shocks Micah by saying she's actually older than him. |
| 350 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever Collette loses her appetite it's sure sign there's something worrying her. |
| 351 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite her looks she uses axe weapons and is one of the heavy hitters in Sharance. |
| 352 | * SiblingYinYang: In terms of food preferences she's not really picky compared to her brother, Rusk, something that Blaise notes. |
| 353 | * StockholmSyndrome: She bemoans to Micah that she's just learned to go along with Marian's abuse, and warns him that he'll start, too. |
| 354 | * SupremeChef: Not on the same level of Blaise, but she's still a very handy cook. in ''[[VideoGame/RuneFactory4 Rune Factory 4]]'' Raven mentions she inherited Blaise's restaurant as the head chef. |
| 355 | * ThroughHisStomach: She may offer to cook something special for Micah once her FP is high enough, but Micah will be bissfully ignorant of the implications which will annoy Collette. |

| 375 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: She mentions that she grew up in Sharance and was raised by her brother, which could potentially mean that they passed away when she was young. |

| 383 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She fights with a fishing pole. |
| 384 | * IncestSubtext: She's rather... attached to her brother. Their introduction scene has them going totally melodramatic about her going out to go fishing, complete with "My dear brother/my beloved sister"s, and both talk about having trouble finding a boy/girlfriend as good as their sibling. |
| 385 | * LargeHam: She even mentions having little to no control of her indoor voice. |
| 386 | * LoveConfession: [[spoiler:In one of her late requests she outright confesses to Micah, no beating around the bush, no AbortedDeclarationOfLove, no IUhYouToo. Whether Micah answers to it with an Engagement Ring or not is up to your decision.]] |
| 387 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: Puts up airs of a stern, tough, teacher when it comes to teaching fishing to Micah. Carmen is actually a little annoyed when Micah thinks her tough self is her default mood, though. |
| 388 | * RaisedByDudes: She was raised by Carlos and his influence on her personality is clear as day. |
| 389 | * SailorFuku: Her outfit is a stylized version of this. |
| 390 | * SeriousBusiness: Fishing is what she does for a living and a big passion for her. One piece of dialogue has her telling how she got into an argue with Monica after she said fishes were disgusting. |
| 391 | * SoreLoser: She doesn't take well in losing the fishing contests of Sharance, which is understandable given she prides herself as an angler. |
| 392 | * {{Tomboy}}: Carmen is one of the more most outspoken bacherolettes of Sharance and takes a lot from her brother, Carlos. |
| 393 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She takes proper care of her skin given she spends a lot of time under the sun fishing. One of her requests has her giving Micah a "test" which is very obviously from a matchmaking magazine. |
| 394 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fish dishes. One of her conversations has her saying that she will not accept a man in her life if he cannot eat fish. Ironically Carmen mentions she used to hate fish when she was little. |
| 395 | * {{Tsundere}}: Carmen bobbles between Types A and B. The Type A comes out when she's being the "master" and Micah her "student" and she's stern but fair teacher. The Type B is how she is naturally being a peppy and cheerful girl being quite shy when the theme of love comes out (and a little annoyed at Micah's cluelessness). |

| 408 | |
| 409 | -> '''Family:''' Sherman, Evelyn |
| 410 | \ |
| 411 | Sherman's daughter. Like her father, she has the habit of saying the opposite of what she means. She often hangs out with Raven and Karina for festivals. |
| 412 | ---- |
| 413 | * AfraidOfDoctors: While everyone is wary of Marian's crazy experiments Sofia is downright ''terrified'' of her and becomes a stuttering mess whenever Marian is nearby. Marjorie alludes to an incident that happened between the two in the past, but doesn't give any details. |
| 414 | * ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler:One of her events has her running away from home and getting very upset at her father because of this. It takes Micah and Evelyn's combined efforts to calm down both parties.]] |
| 415 | * BadLiar: Her lies are printed in '''[[red:red]]''' to drive this home. It still manages to confuse most people in town except Evelyn and her friends. This also extends to her voice clips: she speaks how she "loves" something with utter disgust and how she "hates" something with the sweetest tone. |
| 416 | * BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Sofia started her strange habit of speaking in opposites [[FreudianExcuse after an incident with Evelyn when they were younger]]. Evelyn gave Sofia a necklace made of trash materials which Sofia hated, but saying that made Evelyn very sad. To avoid hurting her sister's feelings Sofia pretended she was talking the same way her father did and the habit stuck ever since. Evenlyn doesn't seem to realize this incident was what triggered her habit.]] |
| 417 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Sofia's actually enjoys eating Failed Dish and Super Failures and sometimes you can see her carrying one around Sharance and snacking on it. |
| 418 | * BoringButPractical: Sofia's fighting style foregoes any flashy moves and she never performs the ultimate weapon attack unlike most townsfolks you can invite to adventure with you. However this also makes Sofia attack relatively more often without interruptions and if the enemy is too far she'll just use a Power Wave ability that has a respectable damage as well. |
| 419 | * BrutalHonesty: The more you interpret the meanings of her swapped words the more you'll notice Sofia rarely hold punches when talking to people. She means well, though. [[spoiler:And being brutally honest is what made her to start talking in opposites in first place.]] |
| 420 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Goodbye" (when meeting you), "Good Evening" (when meeting her at morning). |
| 421 | * CharacterTics: Speaks in opposites, [[SharedFamilyQuirks just like her father]] and it's not something she does simply to mess with people or that she can flip a switch and stop, and she speak even more in opposites when she gets emotional (happy, angry or distressed). Evelyn also mentions that ''not'' talking in opposites stresses Sofia out and she has to make a conscious effort not to do it. This is surprisingly {{deconstructed}}; one quest of hers involves Micah keeping an unwanted suitor away from her and Sofia's inability of stop speaking in opposites only encourages him even more until Karina and Micah steps in. |
| 422 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: The only character to like "trash" like Scrap Metal, Branches, Stones, Cans and Failed Dishes. The only thing she likes more than that? '''Rare''' Cans and '''Super''' Failures. Even her father has absolutely no idea why she's fascinated by trash items. |
| 423 | * CombatMedic: Downplayed. Sofia cannot use Cure spells, but she will use Medi-class to heal poison, seal and paralysis and her weapon of choice are one-handed swords. |
| 424 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has purple hair and eyes, keeping it in tone with the de-Saint Coquille royal coloring theme. |
| 425 | * DamnedByFaintPraise: If Micah has a good relationship with her Sofia will sometimes ask what Micah thinks of her. One of his answers can be "You're fine, I guess" which leaves her nonplussed. |
| 426 | %%* ElegantGothicLolita |
| 427 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Her love of Failed Dish and Super Fails (Disastrou Dishes) will ''restore'' her health and buff her statuses instead of doing the opposite. Likewise Withered Grass can be used to heal her without overriding the buffs given by Failed Dishes and Super Fails. These things can be used if she's selected in Sharance Maze. |
| 428 | * GirlyBruiser: Sofia is one of the more feminine bachelorettes and very focused on attacking enemies up close with one-handed sword attacks or from a certain distance with the Power Wave ability. |
| 429 | * HiddenDepths: Despite her quirky way of talking Sofia is one of the more down to earth people of Sharance, she gives Karina and Raven good advice on her jobs and has interest in fashion like Evelyn. The closer Micah gets to Sofia the more self-conscious she becomes of her "weirdness". Deep down Sofia is afraid she won't get accepted by anyone who isn't used to her quirky way of talking. |
| 430 | * HiddenPurposeTest: Sofia likes to test people she has taken a liking to by asking them things in her opposite-speaking. One of her requests has her doing this and she's very happy when Micah passes said test with flying colors. |
| 431 | * InformedFlaw: The in-game description of ''3'' mentions her being "haughty", but she's one of the friendlier characters from the start and gets along very well with other people despite her quirkiness. The ''Special'' remaster description does not mention her being haughty, though. |
| 432 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: She took the opposite speaking habit from her father [[spoiler:after an incident with Evelyn when they were young.]] While it drives her sister crazy, she and Sherman understand each other perfectly. |
| 433 | * InsecureLoveInterest: At high FP Sofia will constantly worry if her opposite speak doesn't irritate Micah and always shows concern about how off-putting it can be to other people. If married [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe she also wonders what Micah saw in her]] clearly afraid of what she might hear. |
| 434 | * LadyOfWar: While every other bacherolette can fight, Sofia stands out by being an elegantly-dressed lady of high status capable of using magic and sword attacks. |
| 435 | * TheNicknamer: Has a tendency to call people by their occupations or something they work with: Chef (Blaise), sous-chef (Collette), pastry chef (Rusk), innkeeper (Shino), and iron man (Gaius). |
| 436 | * NonIdleRich: In her bedroom, Micah finds impressive clothing designs, and she seems to have a genuine interest in forging and shopkeeping. She also shows interest in more complex subjects; in one of Raven's requests she's the one who calm Raven down about her curse saying she's been researching the light Raven saw and Sofia assures her that it never made any human disappear. |
| 437 | ** If married Sofia keeps herself busy with housework besides her regular schedule and scoffs at Karina's idea that she'd spend all day lazying around (then again she ''kind of'' sees Karina's point). |
| 438 | * NonSequiturThud: "I feel... [[red:great]]..." if she gets knocked out while in your party. |
| 439 | * NoodleIncident: Something happened between Sofia and Marian that made Sofia ''very'' afraid of Marian before Micah moved to Sharance. Marjorie alludes to the situation but doesn't explain in details. |
| 440 | * OnlySaneWoman: Before she started talking in opposites, she was by far the least quirky member of her family. Her only "odd" feature, her interest in junk, is actually fairly normal. However she basically forced her speech habits on herself when [[spoiler:she hurt her sister's feelings and tried to convince her that she meant the opposite of what she said]]. She also gives solid advice on shopkeeping to both Karina and Raven and tries her best to advertise Evelyn's clothes despite her sister's "zany" sense of style. |
| 441 | * OppositeDay: Which is (almost) every day for her. While the player has the benefit of knowing exactly which words Sofia has swapped, Micah doesn't and he often gets confused by her and ''even more confused'' on the rare cases Sofia doesn't swap the meaning of any word. |
| 442 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: Sofia stops speaking in opposites in a high affection quest at Evenlyn's suggestion and she accepts since she's afraid that Micah wouldn't like a "weird" girl like her.]] Prior to that one random conversation can have Sofia asking if Micah likes "Normal" girls or "Different" ones, if he answers "Different" (in her opposite speaking way) Sofia is disheartened by it. |
| 443 | * ParasolOfPrettiness: She carries one around when she's outside. Sofia says it's good to smash small bugs and protect herself from the sun, but it's too small for rainy days. |
| 444 | * RainbowSpeak: The player has this benefit. Everyone else? Not so much. |
| 445 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: She shares the same strange opposite speaking habit of her father. On a more serious note she also has a keen sense for business like Evelyn and Sherman as well. |
| 446 | * SpoiledSweet: Member of the richest family in town, but gets along with "lower class" townsfolk with no issues. And there's also the reason why she started speaking in opposites in first place... |
| 447 | * SwordBeam: She can use the Rune Ability Power Wave to hit enemies from a distance. |
| 448 | * TownGirls: She's the Femme to Raven's Butch and Karina's Neither, dressed as a noblewoman and often carrying around a parasol on sunny days. |
| 449 | * UglyGuysHotDaughter: She ''definitely'' doesn't take after Sherman. |

| 464 | \ |
| 465 | The local CuteWitch. She helps her grandmother run the magic hospital and formulates new medicines in her spare time. Collette's her favorite test subject. |
| 466 | ---- |
| 467 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: She only lives with her grandmother and her parents are never mentioned. |
| 468 | * AffectionateNickname: Collette calls her "Merry" in ''Special''. |
| 469 | * BlackMage: Unsurprisingly, she wields many types of elemental magic to fight when in your party. |
| 470 | * CharacterDevelopment: While Marian never stops with her eagerness to test her medicines, she learns to have a bit more ''restraint'' and that she cannot rush her progress as witch or doctor or else she can put lives at risk. It does take a good scolding from Marjorie for it to happen. |
| 471 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Do you want a shot?", "Just a little jab" in ''Special''. |
| 472 | * CuteLittleFangs: She sports a pair. |
| 473 | * CuteWitch: It is even in her character description. |
| 474 | * TheDreaded: Played mostly for laughs. ''Everyone'' in Sharance is aware of how crazy Marian's medicines and experiments are so they tend to stay away from it. Collette and Sofia are noted to have had bad times with Marian and her injections. |
| 475 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Tomatoes which she used to like. Because of her love for tomatoes and their scent, Marjorie enchanted her sense of smell to strengthen it. However, the spell ended up too strong and the smell of tomatoes completely nauseates her now. |
| 476 | * TheGenerationGap: Marian favors modern medicine and techniques a lot more than Marjorie's old fashioned magic. |
| 477 | * GenkiGirl: She's, uh, ''very'' enthusiastic about treating everyone. |
| 478 | * GlassCannon: She has a decent arsenal of elemental magic and can do a lot of damage in a very short time, but her VIT growth is abysmal. |
| 479 | * GoodOldWays: Played with. Marian is not averse to learning the old ways of her trade, but she's doesn't like her grandmother's insistence on keeping only the old ways. |
| 480 | * HiddenDepths: She's surprisingly down-to-earth when it comes to her own health. Marian is also grateful for the people of Sharance for putting up with her antics, something so unusual Micah even asks if she didn't hit her head or something. |
| 481 | * HotBlooded: Not in the usual screaming way, but she's very passionate about what she does and when something picks her interests even more than usual there's nothing that can hold her back. |
| 482 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her weapon is a giant syringe and counts as a rod-type weapon but is wielded more or less like a spear to stab enemies instead of bashing them. It sort of resembles a trumpet too for some reason. |
| 483 | * LoveConfession: [[spoiler:After a certain request is finished Marian openly says she loves Micah, who's unsure how to respond to her feelings, especially since said confession comes before he's able to reveal his half-monster, half-human secret to her.]] |
| 484 | * MadScientist: She dabbles in vegetable growing and always has some crazy vegetable for the end of season festivals. Most of times said vegetable runs away and in a few festivals [[WeirdnessCensor Sakuya even pretends she didn't see anything]]. |
| 485 | * MadDoctor: Well, she uses magic more than science, but she still has the right attitude, and she wants to try ''every'' type of medicine with everyone. |

| 500 | \ |
| 501 | An elf artist who stays in the forest just out of town. She's highly passionate about her works and calls Micah her "assistant". |
| 502 | ---- |
| 503 | * AttentionWhore: Downplayed. She has a very bombastic personality and makes no small effort in drawing attention to her and her art, but she does not impose herself on others... except Micah, who is basically, sort of, kinda conscripted into becoming her assistant. |
| 504 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: With a hammer and rainbows, this woman has no regard it at all. Sometimes she does it by breaking text boxes, or sometimes by asking you (the player) to pick another dialogue tree option. Sadly most of it was taken out in the ''Special'' remaster. |
| 505 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Rainbow!". Or at the lesser extend, her use of "Very artistic!/How artistic!" and its variation. |
| 506 | * CloudCuckooLander: Probably higher up in the clouds than Pia. |
| 507 | * CallingYourAttacks: "Beautiful attack!" "MARVELOUS attack!" "Daria ATTACK!" |
| 508 | * CovertPervert: A very, very downplayed example, but in one of the requests she asks a Ruby Ring from Micah in order to "check" on his Crafting skill. Once Micah delivers the ring to her she starts giggling and thinking to herself: "A ring from Micah..." |
| 509 | * CuteBruiser: She wields Hammers/Axes to fight and can use some Rune Abilities attributed to them. |
| 510 | * CuteClumsyGirl: She will randomly trip while standing still. |
| 511 | * EverybodyKnewAlready: Micah is not supposed to realize she's an elf until she tells him, after he reveals his wooly form to her. |
| 512 | * EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: So much so, she might even speak with them when she uses the line. Some of her favored gifts have "Rainbow" in their name and one of her spells casts rainbows around (though it seemingly has no other effect). |
| 513 | * FamilyThemeNaming: In the JP version with Margaret from VideoGame/RuneFactory4, who is heavily implied to be her younger sister. They are both named after flowers. |
| 514 | * ForgetsToEat: Her art takes priority over food. One of her requests is getting her some food after she passes out while working. |
| 515 | * GenkiGirl: There's never a dull moment whenever one is around Daria. Micah tries (key word being "tries") to keep up with her with varying rates of success. |
| 516 | * HerdHittingAttack: She can use the Grand Impact Rune Ability to hit whatever's around her. |
| 517 | * HiddenDepths: Daria has a much more serious side to her, but that rarely comes up. |
| 518 | * HypocriticalHumor: She usually reacts with surprise if Micah tries to "out-silly" her. |
| 519 | --->'''Daria:''' My art is calling me...\ |
| 520 | '''''[=-->=] [From over there]''''' [What do you mean?]\ |
| 521 | '''Daria:''' What was that ridiculous remark?\ |
| 522 | '''Micah:''' You're one to talk...\ |
| 523 | '''Daria:''' Ha ha... you got me. |
| 524 | * ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: Her hammer is an appropriate weapon. Using it as a paintbrush is not. |
| 525 | * IneffectualLoner: Notice that she lives at the front of the forest, away from the town, and doesn't have clique? Or how the town's inhabitants seem to have little regard of her? |
| 526 | * LargeHam: Nearly every voice clips has her shouting. Also whenever Micah tries saying her catchphrase during a date, she'll complain about how quietly he said it and tries to teach him to shout it louder. |
| 527 | * MadArtist: Maybe not mad, but still a little, well, screwy. She tries to drag Micah into becoming her assistant, too. [[CharacterCatchphrase "Go, my assistant!"]]. Micah just (mostly) plays along to humor her. |
| 528 | * MayflyDecemberRomance: As an elf, she has an extended lifespan. She confesses she was afraid of marrying Micah because she feared outliving him and being left alone. |
| 529 | * NoIndoorVoice: Often greets you with a pretty sonore "Hi!" and she's often yelling "Rainbow" whenever she gets excited about anything. |
| 530 | * OlderThanSheLooks: Implied. She's the only bachelorette who mentions the NoodleIncident involving Blaise and wine. The only other villagers that mention it are Wells and Marjorie. |
| 531 | * OneTrackMindedArtist: She wants to color the world rainbow. Among the things she wants to paint rainbow are: Micah's fields, Micah's wooly form, beans for the bean festival and snowflakes of winter. |
| 532 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 533 | ** After finishing one of her requests, one she asks Micah to find a rare Round Stone, Daria is apologetic about forcing him to get it for her which catches Micah completely off guard. A later request has Daria being much more serious about her art, also talking about her past and what inspired her to become an artist. |
| 534 | ** [[spoiler:In the events leading to Micah revealing his Wooly form to her, he laments that he doubts their relationship would work since he technically isn't human. She drops all of her quirks and attempts to console him.]] |
| 535 | * PointyEars: Well, she IS an elf. |
| 536 | * RenaissanceWoman: While her main focus seems to be painting, her studio is filled with sculputures of her own making too. |
| 537 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dried Sardine, Flavored Radish and Miso Eggplant. You can even find them in the box by her bedside every now and then. |
| 538 | * UnkemptBeauty: Her clothes and cheek are covered in paint splatters, but she still looks great. |

| 555 | One of the horned people, and the headswoman of the Monster Village in Sol Terrano Desert. She dislikes humans and has a sweet tooth. Her pet fireball, Will, is always by her side. |
| 556 | ---- |
| 557 | * BespectacledCutie: She wears a pair of spectacles that give her an air of authority rather than bookishness or intelligence, and she's rather fussy about them. Micah has the option to ask if he can touch them during a date, which will fluster her. |
| 558 | * BigEater: Not Kuruna, but Will. He's able to eat about 100 turnips a day. Micah notes that Colette might have some competition. |
| 559 | * BrutalHonesty: Will has a tendency to speak his mind, sometimes about Kuruna's personal problems which flusters her. |
| 560 | * CharacterCheck: Even after the Unity Festival she'll rarely let slip a remark about the "hateful hornless". |
| 561 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Ondorus and he's the only one she's willing to listen to. [[spoiler:Although he fails to convince her to consider mending the relationships with the hornless]]. |
| 562 | * CuteMonsterGirl: The horned people are a {{unicorn}} like race, which mostly manifests as them being {{Horned Humanoid}}s. |
| 563 | * FacialMarkings: Has very light ones on her jawline. They're the fantasy equivalent of sunscreen. |
| 564 | * FantasticRacism: Even more so than Wells; after everyone has accepted Micah's half-human state, she initially refuses to say a word to him other than calling him a traitor. |
| 565 | * HulkSpeak: Will speaks like this and in all caps, but in ''Special'' the all caps speech is gone. |
| 566 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: If Micah already married when he accepts her request for a date, he will be visibly uncomfortable and finally says that she's just a friend. She then, with her head held high, says that he should take care of his wife. She even chastises Micah if he picks the "soulmate" option. Very visible the difference between other bachelorettes, who seem to disregard that Micah already has wife, and even children. |
| 567 | * InformedAbility: She supposedly enjoys sewing but if you give her cloth, she'll call it junk. |
| 568 | * LastGirlWins: Likely to be the last girl Micah will meet and interact with. |
| 569 | * LongLived: Univir like her have long life spans. It's not specified if they life as long as elves, dwarves or even more. |
| 570 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She's such a SweetTooth that thinking Micah is hiding sweets brings out a surprisingly less mature (and comical) side of her. |
| 571 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Still looks like a young woman despite being older than Wells. |
| 572 | * PointyEars: Another trait of the univir. |
| 573 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:During the Unity Festival, talk to Wells while she's following Micah,]] she'll mention that she's even older than him. |
| 574 | * SweetTooth: Her favorite gifts are dessert items, specifically chocolate ones. She'll even give Micah cake and cookies for lunch if you marry her. |
| 575 | * SuperiorSpecies: Directly states this saying "hornless" are nothing but hateful creatures. |
| 576 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: The long lives of her species means that she has lost many friends. |

| 597 | * BigOlEyebrows: They almost cover his eyes. |
| 598 | * DotingGrandparent: He tends to spoil Monica, despite Shara instructing him not to. |
| 599 | * GrumpyOldMan: Downplayed. Wells has a bit of a temper, but is generally a kind man who tries to help people whenever he can. |
| 600 | * GoalInLife: He's always wanted to make the Sharance Tree bloom again. It's the reason why he studied botany and passed on his craft to Shara and Monica. [[spoiler:Monica mentions he shed TearsOfJoy in private once they did bloom.]] |
| 601 | * HiddenDepths: He's clearly distrustful of monsters, but allows non-humans live in Sharance and never shows any sign of bias against them. [[spoiler:This is a hint that Wells is actually much more tolerant than he lets on. And surely enough when the suggestion of the Unity Festival pops up Wells accepts it with little discordance.]] |
| 602 | * NeedleworkIsForOldPeople: He initially dislikes this trope, but is revealed to actually be very good at it when he knits Monica a hat. Later on Shara will mention Wells did really took on the hobby of knitting. |

| 621 | -> '''Family:''' Wells, Shara |
| 622 | \ |
| 623 | Shara's little sister. She gets angry and upset around strangers. |
| 624 | ---- |
| 625 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Her and Shara's parents are never mentioned. |
| 626 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She starts doing everything she can do get in Micah's way whenever he tries to talk to Shara. But she gets better eventually. |
| 627 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest resident of Sharance at least until Micah's child is born. |
| 628 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she warms up to Micah. Even after all her biting and general brattiness Micah didn't stop trying to help her. What makes Monica truly accept Micah is confessing why she bites people and Micah saying, without judging her, that as long as she knows it's a bad thing to do and she tries to better herself she can do it. |
| 629 | * BerserkButton: Strangers in general makes her very anxious at best and makes her bite them at worst, she also doesn't like people getting close to her sister. Unfortunately for Micah, at the beginning at least, he hits both buttons. Other than that she doesn't like being treated like a little kid chiding Micah when he asks if Monica likes dolls. |
| 630 | * BigSisterWorship: She adores Shara and one of the reasons for her instant dislike of Micah is seeing him get close to her. |
| 631 | * BrattyHalfPint: She doesn't give Micah a break until he befriends her and she isn't shy about voicing her dislikes even if it gets people upset, like saying how much she hates fish to Carmen. |
| 632 | * BrutalHonesty: She has almost no filter and tend to speak whatever's on her mind, but it's mostly due to her young age. |
| 633 | * CharacterCheck: Even after she warms up she still bites Micah on occasion... Mostly when he says something that makes her feel a bit ''too'' happy (to the point she's embarrassed). |
| 634 | * CharacterDevelopment: She starts off ''very'' hostile towards Micah until a certain request pops up from Shara. She'll request that Micah act as a prince from Monica's favorite fairy tale and do whatever she wants for a day. Once the request is completed, she becomes much friendlier. |
| 635 | * CheerfulChild: Even before her CharacterDevelopment there are several moments, mostly in festivals and with Shara, where Monica shows a much more chipper side of her. |
| 636 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has orange eyes and hair. |
| 637 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She really doesn't like fish and every fish related festival has her being in a funk because of it. |
| 638 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first moment you visit Fantastic Flowers has Monica rushing downstairs and vividly expressing her instant dislike of Micah all while Wells tries to rein her fury. |
| 639 | * FieryRedhead: She's violent towards strangers and bites them. During the "Rose Prince" event Monica mentions she does it because she gets too nervous around them. |
| 640 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Subverted. Monica thinks she's more mature than Shara, when the latter is actually just playing along. |
| 641 | * HiddenDepths: During the "Rose Prince" request Monica reveals she's fully aware that her aggressive attitude towards strangers is wrong, but she can't help it since she's shy and gets quite nervous around them. While she's been trying to change it, she didn't see much progress. |
| 642 | * KidsHateVegetables: Averted. A conversation with Monica has Micah noting that Shara said Monica doesn't have a lot of problems eating vegetables. |
| 643 | * MeaningfulGift: Most accessories are her loved gifts, it also goes along with her dream of owning an accessory shop which she mentions to Micah once she stops being openly hostile to him. Additionally items that can be used for accessory making are well liked by Monica. |
| 644 | * NoSocialSkills: Has a tendency to yell "Gaaaaaauuuu"[[note]]changed in the NA release to "I'M GONNA BITE YOU!"[[/note]] whenever Micah speaks to her or even comes close. She also tends to bite strangers or people that flat out annoy her. This mostly stems from her being very shy and not being sure how to react to strange people or deal with emotions overwhelming her. |
| 645 | * PrecociousCrush: On Micah, once she warms up to him even saying that if Shara refuses him she'd marry Micah instead. |
| 646 | * RaisedByGrandparents: She and Shara live with their grandfather. |
| 647 | * ShipperOnDeck: After she warms up she becomes this instead of being jealous of Micah, she'll even be sad to think Micah may like someone else than Shara. |
| 648 | * SiblingYinYang: Shara is calm, understanding, positive and very social, but Monica is shy, prone to biting in a fit of anger/anxiousness and generally avoids strange people. |

| 661 | |
| 662 | -> '''Family:''' None |
| 663 | \ |
| 664 | The town blacksmith. Ostensibly a dwarf, although he looks more like an elf. Generally a friendly guy all around and nonplussed by anything. |
| 665 | ---- |
| 666 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: Actually an Absent Minded ''Blacksmith''. Gaius often overworks himself without even realizing it, uses things like bronze and iron to cultivate crops, never remembers the name of festivals or where he can find specific ores and crystals and sometimes eats while resting by his forge... until he passes out from the heat and is helped by a very worried Raven. |
| 667 | * {{BFS}}: While he initially comes with a hammer to fight, he will also accept Longswords as well. |
| 668 | * CallToAgriculture: Downplayed. Like most of Sharance villagers he will participate in the end of season harvest festivals. What makes Gaius unique is that he will always mention using things like ''Iron'' and ''Bronze'' to grow crops much to Micah's consternation who begs him to use regular soil instead. |
| 669 | * CannotTalkToWomen: He gets really flustered around Evelyn. |
| 670 | * DeadpanSnarker: While the "deadpan" needs a bit of work he sometimes cracks a few snarky commentaries without breaking his cheerful demeanor, sometimes he does this just trying to be sincere. |
| 671 | * DoingItForTheArt:[[invoked]] He forges weapons because he enjoys it, not for the money. He even mentions that, without Raven running the store, he'd go bankrupt. |
| 672 | * EyeScream: Implied. He alludes to a mining or forging accident that he lost his right eye in. |
| 673 | * EyesAlwaysShut: Half of them at least. Gaius always has his right eye shut and it's heavily implied he's either blind or outright lost it in an accident. |
| 674 | * FacialMarkings: Has a blue one over his right eye. |
| 675 | * ForgetfulJones: Gaius knows when festivals are going to happen, but rarely remembers ''what'' festival will happen. He also knows about portals giving elemental crystals and ores in the areas around Sharance, but never actually remembers what is where. |
| 676 | * ForgetsToEat: Or sleep, or do anything else when he's working. In one quest, Raven admits she makes sure they "run out" of ore when it's time for him to take a break. |
| 677 | * TheGadfly: Unlike Carlos, who seems to not realize the gay impications of his dialogue, Gaius will cheerfully suggest that there may be something between him and Micah just for Micah's reaction. In one case he'll even claim that the only reason he wouldn't propose to Micah is that he's already married. |
| 678 | * HiddenDepths: Gaius is very perceptive, especially with Raven; she doesn't even need to say anything and he might notice something is wrong about her immediately. |
| 679 | * HopelessSuitor: Has a crush on Evelyn but she only thinks of him as nothing more than a friend. After Micah gets married, she offers to wear the engagement ring Gaius made for her and walk around with him, which implies that there's hope. |
| 680 | * TheIllegible: He keeps a diary, but Micah won't be able to make out a word of it. If Gaius is there when he tries to read it, he'll admit that he can't either. |
| 681 | * MagicallyIneptFighter: He has no access to any magic of any kind, but more than makes up with Longsword Rune Abilities like Delta Strike and Flash Strike. |
| 682 | * MellowFellow: He never loses his temper, raises his voice in anger and is overall such a chill guy he could cool down his own furnace with his coolness. |
| 683 | * MeaningfulGift: He likes ore used in crafting like Iron and Bronze. Rarer ones like Gold and Platinum are his loved gifts. |
| 684 | * NiceGuy: Gaius is an understanding, patient and mild-tempered guy who's never in a hurry. Gaius mentions that being HotBlooded and impatient near a searing hot forge is a terrible combination and also implies this is what caused the accident that took one of his eyes. [[spoiler:He also shelters Sofia during one of her requests when she has a falling out with her father and lets her accompany him while he's out foraging materials.]] |
| 685 | * NotSoAboveItAll: In one of Raven's requests Gaius muses that Raven is going to get extra ore with Micah even though they don't need any. Then he puts two and two together, but keeps quiet about it so not to embarrass Raven... but asks for "Curry Udon" for dinner in return. |
| 686 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He looks around the same age as the other guys in town, but he also plays a fatherly role to Raven and has some wisdom that clearly comes from living through a lot. [[spoiler:When Raven attempts to cut contact with Micah, Gaius has a heart-to-heart with him asking Micah to be patient and give Raven some space, but not leave her.]] |
| 687 | * OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Utterly averted: he's a bishie-looking pointy-eared blunette with an eternally friendly demeanor. |
| 688 | * ParentalSubstitute: For Raven, though he doesn't directly show it. Raven herself likens him more to a father than a brother and Micah notes Gaius a bit too old to be considered her older brother. |
| 689 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Udon. He mentions loving to eat a hot bowl near a searing hot forge... and nearly passing out from it, much to Micah's worry. |
| 690 | * VocalDissonance: He has a pretty deep voice for a guy that looks about the same age of Micah and Rusk. Even more so in the Japanese version where he sounds almost grandfatherly. |
| 691 | * {{Workaholic}}: Unintentionally. He gets so absorbed when forging he forgets everything around and about him to the point where merely letting go of his forging hammer makes him go out like a candle. |

| 706 | \ |
| 707 | Karina's mother. She runs the town general store and is often upset with her daughter's laziness. |
| 708 | ---- |
| 709 | * ActionMom: Can be invited to your party to fight alongside you and she will wield axes to fight monsters. |
| 710 | * AngerBornOfWorry: She's tough on Karina, but admits that she sometimes doesn't sleep at night because she worries about her daughter and the future of the store. |
| 711 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: For as much Karina and Hazel bicker and argue, when Karina, in one of her requests, asks to tend to the shop all by herself Hazel accepts needing only a small push from Karina. [[spoiler:When the day looks like it's going to end on a low note Hazel appears and makes sure to give pointers on shopkeeping for Karina as well.]] |
| 712 | * TheComicallySerious: Downplayed since Hazel is more playful than most examples, but she's very no-nonsense when it comes to her store and her seriousness leads to some amusing situations and conversations when regarding her extremely lazy daughter. |
| 713 | * CharacterTics: She has a habit of letting out a tired sigh... Usually due to something Karina did, or rather, something she ''didn't'' do. |
| 714 | * CommonalityConnection: She and Shino became friends upon realizing that they were both single mothers. Hazel muses that most of times their conversations end up being about her daughters. |
| 715 | * DeadpanSnarker: This side of her doesn't come up often but it's there, mostly when Karina is involved and Karina had to get it from someone after all. In ''Special'' Hazel even calls Karina "lawn ornament" due to her laziness. |
| 716 | * {{Foil}}: To Shino. While both are hardworking and very concerned about their daughters, Shino is very patient and understanding, if strict when necessary, but Hazel has a ''much'' stronger temperament and very little patience for Karina's antics. Hazel even muses in one conversation on how she wonders how Shino manages to be so easygoing with her children. |
| 717 | * GoodParents: Despite being very exasperated with her daughter a lot of times, Karina mentions that whenever she's in trouble Hazel would drop everything to help her. After Karina purposefully catches a cold in one of her events Hazel is very upset at Karina's dumb idea, but she still takes care of her, but is more concerned than actually angry. |
| 718 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:In one of her requests she reveals she's fully aware that Karina is intending to leave Sharance and regrets letting their relationship becoming so estranged due to her work. She feels it's too late for her to do anything about it, but asks Micah to keep an eye on her.]] |
| 719 | * {{Irony}}: Hazel can win the Catch Most Fish Festival and her score is unusually high going as high as ''19''. This is after she says in the previous day she has a hard time with this festival due to it demanding her to stand still doing nothing. |
| 720 | * ParentsAsPeople: Hazel is often hard on Karina, but it's clear she loves her daughter dearly even if she has difficulty in showing it and tries her best to guide her into becoming a proper shopkeeper. However she is nowhere as patient as Marjorie or Shino which leads into a lot of situations she butt heads with Karina. |
| 721 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: Not the lazy part from Karina, no, but Hazel has a tendency to bottle down her difficulties and keeping to herself to a fault. It's something she notices Karina picked up and she isn't proud of that. |
| 722 | * StrugglingSingleMother: According to Shino, she likes to present herself as composed when she actually isn't. |
| 723 | * SweetTooth: She loves cake and expresses it out of nowhere which surprises even Micah. |
| 724 | * ToughLove: She's often very strict on Karina due to her being worried about her future, but said strictness is the main source of conflict between the two. |
| 725 | * TradeMarkFavoriteFood: Cake. And unlike other examples, she verbally disagrees with Micah when he suggests the best sweet food is anything other than cake. |
| 726 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type B. She doesn't like letting it show how much she actually cares about Karina, although she does refer to her as her "stupid" daughter. |
| 727 | * {{Workaholic}}: She runs the general store and often has to step in whenever Karina slacks off. [[spoiler:This trait is also why Karina became so lazy in the first place]]. |

| 743 | Carmen's big brother. May be considered a jock. He's highly protective of Carmen and runs the fishing resort with her by the lake. |
| 744 | ---- |
| 745 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Carlos fits the bill since he's is a ParentalSubstitute for Carmen. When Carmen invites Micah over for dinner he shares embarrassing stories about Carmen during a dinner with her and Micah. He also has a tendency to try and show off during several festivals which leaves Carmen mortified. |
| 746 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: None of his parents are present in Sharance. According to Carmen, he was the one that raised her ever since she was very little. |
| 747 | * AmbiguouslyBi: A lot of his dialogue can be interpreted as flirting with Micah, and he doesn't really seem to have any interest in girls besides Carmen. He mentions that he can't be tied down to just one girl, and he liked the "girly" cologne. But whenever it seems like he ''is'' interested in one of the girls, he immediately turns around and subverts it. |
| 748 | * BerserkButton: Anyone trying get close to his sister sends him into a fit of concerned anger. |
| 749 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of Carmen to say the least. Given that she's his only family it's understandable. |
| 750 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: Related to his BigBrotherInstinct, but also due to him being a ParentalSubstitute for Carmen. |
| 751 | * ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Carlos, or Carmen, will be the one who will tell you that he saw Micah's runaway bride going into the Dragon Cave, the last dungeon in the main story.]] |
| 752 | * FacialMarkings: Has a red sunscreen mark on his cheek, as well as his arms. |
| 753 | * FamilyThemeNaming: In the English version, both Carlos and Carmen's names start with "car". |
| 754 | * GoalInLife: He aims to catch the "King Fish" (or "Guardian" in ''Special'') lurking in Sharance's Dragon Lake. |
| 755 | * HiddenDepths: Carlos is surprisingly physilosophical and has a knack for PurpleProse which is seen when he has apparently fallen in love with someone [[note]]actually always a BaitAndSwitch commentary about something else[[/note]]. |
| 756 | * HiddenPurposeTest: One of his requests has him asking Micah to fish two Love/Throbby Snappers, a fish that's notoriously difficult to catch regardless of season and requires high fishing skill or ''very'' quick reflexes and perseverance. Once completed Carlos reveals he asked this from Micah in order to see if he'd give up at an apparent difficult task and finally relents stopping getting between Micah and Carmen. |
| 757 | * {{Hunk}}: Seriously, just look at him. |
| 758 | * IncestSubtext: He's rather... attached to his sister. Their introduction scene has them going totally melodramatic about her going out to go fishing, complete with "My dear brother/my beloved sister"s, and both talk about having trouble finding a boy/girlfriend as good as their sibling. |
| 759 | * LargeHam: A lot of his voiced lines are pretty hammy. "Whoa, yeah!" (slightly less hammy in ''Special''). |
| 760 | * MeaningfulGift: Fishes of any kind are good gifts for him. Love/Throbby Snapper dishes, however, are his absolute favorite. |
| 761 | * MoodSwinger: He's a friendly hammy surfer dude that loves fishing. But just give a slight hint you're interested in his sister and you'll be on the wrong end of his BigBrotherInstinct-fueld wrath. |
| 762 | * MrFanservice: He spends all his time in a frayed tanktop that barely covers his tanned and tattooed muscles. |
| 763 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: He's very proud of his build and loves to show it off during the Summer Festival much to Carmen's embarrassement. |
| 764 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: Simply attempting to go foraging for materials with Carmen causes Carlos to fly into an insurmountable rage. |
| 765 | * NiceGuy: He almost immediately regards Micah as a "bro" and is one of the friedliest townsfolk in Sharance. Well, as long as you don't try to date his sister. |
| 766 | * PromotionToParent: Carlos will eventually mention he raised Carmen alone since she was a baby and his parents are nowhere to be seen. |
| 767 | * PlayingWithFire: Carlos can use fire spells when fighting alongside you. |
| 768 | * SoreLoser: He feels his pride as fisherman taking a hit upon losing the fishing contests. |
| 769 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Someone in a parental role who's fiercily protective of their daughter isn't a first for these games. [[VideoGame/RuneFactory2 Douglas]] had the same temper regarding Mana, although Carmen is aware of her brother's protective antics, but mostly plays along. |
| 770 | * SurferDude: Pretty much stylized after one. "Check out the sun, dude" is one of his greetings. |

| 786 | Sakuya's mother and Pia's guardian. She runs the local eastern-themed inn, where passing travellers stay. She drops hints about her mysterious past... |
| 787 | ---- |
| 788 | * ActionMom: Shino as a party member is pretty aggressive and will often throw projectiles against enemies. |
| 789 | * BerserkButton: '''Do not''' do anything that would endanger her girls. On a more comical note Shino is a bit conscious of her age and both Micah and Sakuya push this button accidentally, and hilariously enough in Sakuya's case merely mentioning how old Shino is makes her feel she's in danger. |
| 790 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Shino is unfailingly polite and almost always has a warm smile on her face. That said, she's handy with weapons, very serious about her job as innkeeper and fiercily protective of Sakuya and Pia. |
| 791 | * CommonalityConnection: Became friends with Hazel because she's also a single mother. |
| 792 | * CutenessProximity: She loves cute things; dolls, kittens, but especially woolies. In Sakuya's last requests, Shino suddenly becomes cold toward both Micah and Sakuya in their attempt to make the inn's patrons accept the monsters, which turns out she's actually holding back the urge to ''glomp'' Micah right there. |
| 793 | * DotingParent: She's very proud of her girls and Hazel mentions in one conversation how Shino will always find a way to sing praises of them when they are chatting. |
| 794 | * DualWielding: Makes use of Dual Swords when fighting alongside you. |
| 795 | * {{Foil}}: To her own daughter. Sakuya is a bit rash and sometimes shows some insecurities regarding her skills as merchant and innkeeper, especially when things don't go her way. Shino on the other hand is always calm and levelheaded even when dealing with stressful situations. |
| 796 | * MagicallyIneptFighter: Shino can't use magic, but she has her own unique projectile attack to hit enemies away from her swords. |
| 797 | * MamaBear: She's very protective of her girls and is not even remotely afraid of threatening anyone who dares to mess with them, all without ever raising her voice. Pia may not be her daughter, but Shino still ''does not'' take it well when Pia tells her Micah showed her his "thing" (his transformation belt). |
| 798 | * MentorArchetype: A bit of a downplayed example since her "training" is mostly wordly advice, and even optional as you have to befriend her. But do so and Shino will often give you advice on how to fight better. Micah is understandably shocked to see how knowledgable she actually is about combat. |
| 799 | * MysteriousPast: Multiple hints are dropped by her daughter and even herself that she used to do dangerous work in a previous job. She also knows an awful lot about weapons and training, and has a habit of trying to train any great fighter she lays eyes on. |
| 800 | * StacysMom: Sadly, she isn't a marriage candidate. Neither is Hazel. Marjorie even lampshades this by asking which one of the two would be Micah's type. |
| 801 | --> '''Shino:''' Micah?\ |
| 802 | '''Micah:''' ... Yes?\ |
| 803 | '''Shino:''' You're pretty cute now that I've gotten a good look at you. |
| 804 | * ParentsAsPeople: Shino is softspoken and ''very'' rarely gets upset at something, but she cares a lot for Sakuya and Pia and tries to makes sure neither of them become too complacent or reliant on others. However some of Shino's advice comes off as cryptic and confusing even to Sakuya and in one of Sakuya's request ends in an argue which Micah awkwardly shies away from. |
| 805 | * SilkHidingSteel: Don't let her calmness and politeness fool you. Shino is one of higher level starting villagers and her talk about battles isn't just empty boasting. At early game on she's ''much'' stronger than most townsfolk in Sharance, including Micah. |
| 806 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She thinks the teddy bears that Evelyn sells are cute, but refuses to buy them because she doesn't want people to think she's girly. |
| 807 | * TradeMarkFavoriteFood: Just like her daughter she really likes Sashimi of all kinds, but keeps quiet about it not to upset Pia. She also enjoys wild mushrooms even if they are poisonous (and will tell Micah if it is if he gifts her one). |
| 808 | * {{Troll}}: [[spoiler:According to the ''Rune Factory Official Memoir'' book, she's actually joking about the "dangerous work" that she used to do. She was just a travelling merchant who also enjoyed fighting]]. |
| 809 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Fits this trope to a T. Kind, gentle and graceful, but far from being a pushover. |

| 836 | * GoodParents: He's very supportive of his children and wants the best for them. |
| 837 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. While Micah, Collette and Rusk are all skilled in their own areas, interactions with Blaise and events around them makes it clear Blaise is still on another level when it comes to cooking. |
| 838 | * HiddenPurposeTest: He partially tests Micah's cooking skills by asking a rather demanding recipes from him. While he's satisfied that Micah is able to do it, he understands his heart isn't in being a cook but somewhere else. |
| 839 | ** He also test Collette's cooking skills having Micah as the one important person to judge her food (based on his reaction). [[spoiler:Collette fails the first time, but after realizing her mistake she proves herself to her father making a food thinking of the person, not using her skill as chef.]] |
| 840 | * ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: Said to be able to cook the most wondrous of feasts. Considering how highly praised he is by Sherman, this may not be an exaggeration. |
| 841 | * NiceGuy: One of the nicest villagers. Just don't give him wine. |
| 842 | * MarriedToTheJob: Blaise rarely leaves his restaurant, usually only on Holidays or festivals. |
| 843 | * MedicinalCuisine: He can throw dishes to heal you up. |
| 844 | * MellowFellow: Could compete with Gaius in how much of a chill guy he is. Even after a monster attacks his restaurant he's more annoyed (and worried) than actually angry. A bit of conversation has him musing on how his calmness makes some people mistake him for a cold person. |
| 845 | * NoodleIncident: Marjorie, Wells and Daria will mention an incident where he had too much wine at a festival, and that's all that any of them will say on the subject. Marjorie will simply ask Micah to talk to Blaise about it, [[TakeOurWordForIt Wells just asks Micah to trust him on this]], and Daria begs him to stop asking her to go on. Obviously, he doesn't like being given wine. |
| 846 | * ShipperOnDeck: Once Micah finishes his tests Blaise muses, under his breath, if he can get Micah and Collette to get along. |
| 847 | * SupremeChef: He is the primary chef for the entire village. Even [[BigEater Sherman]] greatly approves of his cooking and asks for more when eating at the diner. In fact it was Sherman who scouted Blaise and had he not accepted go to Sharance the de Saint-Coquille family wouldn't be there. |
| 848 | * SweetTooth: Like his son, he also really likes desserts (especially chocolate). He knows it seems a bit childish, but doesn't really care. |
| 849 | * TheTeetotaler: Tied to the NoodleIncident above any alcoholic drink gets a very negative reaction from him. |
| 850 | * WalkingTheEarth: Not anymore, but Collette, Rusk and Blaise himself mentions a bit of his past where he used to travel around the world with his mentor while learning the secrets of his trade. |

| 865 | \ |
| 866 | Blaise's son and Colette's younger brother. He works at the family restaurant as a pastry chef and strongly dislikes vegetables. |
| 867 | ---- |
| 868 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Continuing the trend of single-parent children, it's never mentioned where his mom is. |
| 869 | * BlackMage: Rusk fights primarily casting magic spells, though Rusk is much more fickle than Marian and won't attack nearly as much unless Micah is equipped with a Sun Pendant. |
| 870 | * CommonalityConnection: He and Gaius get along pretty well since both are laidback dudes who are never in a hurry about anything. Due to his SweetTooth he and Kuruna quickly become friends as well. |
| 871 | * CovertPervert: In the Summer Beach Day he says he likes to go to the lake not only to relax but for a few other reasons too... |
| 872 | * {{Foil}}: To his sister, Collette. Collette doesn't really have any particular choice in food (sans milk) and is very active, Rusk is a very picky eater who sticks mostly to sweets and has a much calmer personality to boot. This also extends to how the fight when adventuring: Collette is a front line pure melee fighter while Rusk is a magic user who tends to stand behind while attacking. |
| 873 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His picky and hesistant personality also affects his ability in battle, as he won't run up and attack monsters as frequently as the other villagers do. |
| 874 | * HairOfGold: His hair is of a golden color much more noticeable than Collette's. |
| 875 | * HiddenDepths: Rusk is rather quiet, but he doesn't like being pushed around. In one of Marian's requests she comes syringes-blazing ready to jab him, but Rusk knows how much she hates tomatoes and uses it to gross her out and shoo her away. |
| 876 | * {{Irony}}: Due to him hating vegetables so much he has a fairly good knowledge about them on par with Micah's. |
| 877 | * KidsHateVegetables: Though he's not a kid anymore, Rusk ''really'' detest vegetables and anything related to them. |
| 878 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his typical no-nonsense attitude, when not regarding vegetables, Rusk can be surprisingly childish such as when hiding from Collette, who was bent on making him like vegetables, with pretty much a "I can't see you, you can't see me" type of attitude. |
| 879 | * OddNameOut: Inverted: he's the only member of the family who kept his Japanese name in the English version, and thus the only one still named after a dessert-related topic. |
| 880 | * PickyEater: Won't touch anything that has vegetable in it. As his RelationshipValues rises, Micah can convince him to try vegetable by pointing out random fact that he seems to pull out of nowhere. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Not that it changes his gift preferences]]... |
| 881 | * SiblingRivalry: Downplayed. He and Collette occasionally squabble over their taste in food, but they've got each other's back. Not that they'll ever admit, though. |
| 882 | * SiblingYinYang: His food preference as noted in the PickyEater entry which contrasts his sister's, Collette, ability to eat about anything. Even his father isn't sure how and why Rusk turned out to be the SweetTooth he is. |
| 883 | * SupremeChef: For sweets at least. In ''[[VideoGame/RuneFactory4 Rune Factory 4]]'' Raven mentions he, alongside Collette, runs Blaise's restaurant together and Rusk is the pastry chef. |
| 884 | * SweetTooth: In fact, he bonds quickly with Kuruna because of their mutual love for sweets. |
| 885 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Any sweets strikes his fancy, but chocolate recipes are his absolute favorites. |

| 909 | * MiniatureSeniorCitizens: She is half the size of the main character. |
| 910 | * NeverMyFault: Despite being the cause of Marian's hatred of tomatoes, she never owned up to it because she never wanted Marian to stop viewing her as the "greatest witch ever". |
| 911 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Marian loved tomatoes as a child, so she gave her a medicine that would enhance her senses towards them. It worked too well and now Marian gets nauseous if she so much as smells a tomato. |
| 912 | * ParentalSubstitute: She's one to Marian who's also been training under her to become a full-fledged witch. |

| 930 | \ |
| 931 | The patriarch of the local branch of the De Saint-Coquille family. Like his relatives in other parts, is a BigEater. Unlike his relatives, he has a tendency to say the opposite of what he means. |
| 932 | ---- |
| 933 | * BerserkButton: Ruining his meals is a sure-fire way to upset him. Sofia sometimes mentions how he and Evelyn get in squabbles because Evenlyn accidentally wastes some of his food. |
| 934 | * BigEater: He's as much of a glutton as you'd expect and people often say he's one of the top contenders to win the Eating Festival. Sherman is a lightly deconstructed example (surprisingly enough) as Evelyn, concerned about his health, had put him on a diet because of this, much to his distress. |
| 935 | * BigFun: Sherman is a pretty swell guy who's almost always in a good mood. |
| 936 | * BrutalHonesty: Not on the same level of Sofia, but Sherman's opposite speak sometimes let him slide some prickly truths in his dialogues. |
| 937 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: ''Averted''. For a series that's known for all characters to have quirks in their food preferences, the only thing Sherman detests are those he cannot eat like ores and trash. |
| 938 | * FauxHorrific: Treats being put on a diet as the end of the world. |
| 939 | * Fiction500: Like almost every de Saint-Coquille family branch he has an untold amount of money, best symbolized by the huge manor he lives at. The only building comparable to it is the local inn. |
| 940 | * TheGadfly: Unlike Sofia, he has no reason for his opposite speak other than he found it hilarious that people believe the lie. |
| 941 | * {{Gonk}}: As usual for the patron of De Saint-Coquille families. |
| 942 | * HiddenDepths: Sherman is more than the carefree glutton he makes himself to be. Inspecting his desk in his room makes Micah note there's a lot of complicated annotations there and if Sherman's in the room he'll say how he's looking forward to the development of the town implying he's a investor and takes care of very complicated finances. |
| 943 | * InformedFlaw: In-game description mentions him as being arrogant, but in his dialogue he rarely, if ever, acts condescending towards anyone. Sherman ''is'' demanding when it comes to cooking, however. The "arrogant" bit is not mentioned in his description of ''Special'' remaster. |
| 944 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: He basically auto-translates Sofia's quirky speech due to being an opposite talker himself. |
| 945 | * ObliquelyObfuscatedOccupation: Sherman's role in Sharance is largely unknown. He's a patron of Blaise and gets what some of the festivals need to be done. Inspecting his room shows that he makes a lot of plans to attract visitors to Sharance as well. |
| 946 | * ObsessedWithFood: To the point he has no disliked cooked foods. |
| 947 | * OppositeDay: Has the strange habit of swapping the meaning of his words every now and then. |
| 948 | * PurpleProse: Prone to this. Combine it with his opposite speaking quirk and you have a recipe for hilariously confusing conversations. |
| 949 | * RainbowSpeak: The words with flipped meaning will be colored [[red:red]]. |
| 950 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Downplayed, but compared to Sofia, Sherman's vocabulary is more flowery and refined... Especially when he peppers his dialogue with his opposites. |
| 951 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fried Sand Flounder is his absolute favorite, but Sherman is unique in that ''any'' cooked food will please him. |
| 952 | * UnclePennybags: Keeping with the tradition of previous games, he's by far the richest person in town. One of his early requests will grant you a pretty penny for early game too. |
| 953 | * WeightWoe: Sherman himself doesn't worry, but Evelyn does and it's due to health concerns on top of that she's put him on a diet. |

| 983 | * OnlySaneWoman: Crazy fashion aside, she's the only member of De-Sainte Coquille family in Sharance that doesn't speak in opposites. Seeing Sofia and Sherman arguing is opposites is enough to drive even her crazy. On a more serious note when Sherman and Sofia end up arguing with Sofia running away from home it's Evelyn who calms her father down while she asks for Micah to do the same for Sofia. |

| 1077 | * WalkingSpoiler: His appearance kicks off the finale. |
| 1078 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He stole Micah's memories, and later his ''fiancée'', as part of his plan to make the Sharance Tree bloom; if it withered away, ''the land would die with it''. |
