History Characters / StardewValley

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: During the warmer months, Harvey often muses that he's having trouble staying afloat because he has so few patients... but in the ''winter'', he complains that he's overworked and exhausted from caring for all his patients. Geez, make up your mind!

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates salmonberries and spice berries, allegedly because he's allergic (though he makes the same comment about coral and seashells.)

* TheDandy: He has a few mannerisms of a dandy. Aside from speaking and dressing like a victorian gentleman, Eliott expresses some sort of hedonistic lifestyle since he's one of the few characters that can be found on the saloon every night. His four-hearts event even involves he and the Farmer drinking and toasting.

The Dwarf resides on the top level of The Mines where they run a simple shope.

* StickyFingers: They matter-of-factly tell you that all their merchandise is stolen during nightly excursions. They then ask what this "personal property" thing you speak of means. Whether they're serious or just a jerk is unclear.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: His blue skin, purple hair and bizarre attire certainly make it seem like he might be something else, particularly given that other sapient non-human species like the Dwarves and Shadow People exist in this universe. Although the Witch's skin turned green as a result of her conflict with the Wizard, so it's entirely possible that he's a regular human who underwent some kind of transformation.

* NoFairCheating: As of version 1.6, he does '''NOT''' like if you glitch your way to the Summit early.

* MoneySink: The cost of one Perfection Waiver is 500,000 gold for 1% towards perfection; That would set the total cost at 50 million gold. For reference, the Golden Clock costs "only" 10 million gold and contributes 20% towards the achievement.

* PurpleIsPowerful: Purple hair, purple sunglasses, purple stars on his hat and jacket.

* OminousMultipleScreens: His [[spoiler:Walnut Room on Ginger Island]], is filled with screens showing multiple places of both the Island and Pelican Town.

* TheTeetotaler: Alex had an alcoholic father and it's telling that outside of events he is the only one of the six bachelors who never frequents the Stardrop Saloon.

* BookDumb: He's admittedly not a smart guy, which eats at him. One of his heart events has him admit that he has a bookshelf full of books that he's never read.

* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Alex's favourite dishes are Complete Breakfast (true to form), and Salmon Dinner.

* MoneySink: The cost of one Perfection Waiver is 500,000 gold for 1% towards perfection; That would set the total cost at 50 million gold. For reference, the Golden Clock costs ''only'' 3 million gold and contributes 20% towards the achievement.

* {{Expy}}: [=ConcernedApe=][[https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/75ag0g/im_concernedape_creator_of_stardew_valley_ask_me/do4wew6/ has admitted]] that she's inspired by Ann of ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon''.

* FunctionalAddict: She can drive to Calico Desert despite being as drunk as she is. Then again, as of the 1.6 update, she now leaves a sign telling the player to just drive the bus themself on days she's at the clinic or visting the island, it's possible the buss does most of the work, as it's unlikely the player charcter is trained to drive it.

* {{Expy}}: Of The Gourmet from ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsFriendsOfMineralTown''. Both wear a purple suit and hat, and they appear once a year to judge a cooking festival.

* BeamMeUpScotty: One of the most popular memes in the Stardew Valley fandom is Abigail's line "Hey, how'd you know I was hungry? This looks delicious!" when you give her a gem, implies that she [[EatDirtCheap eats them]]. Given that amethyst is her favorite gem (and fits with her purple color scheme), this often leads to people [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5kJb9dyLg8&t=66s believing that she eats amethyst]]. In the actual game, the "delicious" line is only used when the player gifts Abigail an item she likes, including all gems ''except'' amethyst; her "gifted favorite item" dialogue, which is used when you give her an amethyst, doesn't mention eating at all.

* MoneySink: The cost of one Perfection Waiver is 500,000 gold. For reference, the Golden Clock costs only six times more and contributes more to the overall percentage than buying six of his waivers.

* NiceGuy: It's hard to hate Gus; he's friendly, sociable and just the perfect kind of guy to run a bar. An early event even concludes with Gus giving Linus some food after catching him digging through the trash.

* FunctionalAddict: She can drive to Calico Desert despite being as drunk as she is.

* SlouchOfVillainy: If you pay money to the Golden Joja Parrot on Ginger Island to get the missing Golden Acorns, a cutscene will play in which he appears slouching on a beach chair on the island, surrounded by [[StockMoneyBag bags of money]].

* PairTheSpares: If you don't ask either of them to be your partner, she will dance with Shane at the Flower Dance, even though they otherwise almost never interact. Their only conversation is during one of ''Clint's'' events, though it does imply they are close friends. This is probably only because they were both upgraded to marriage candidates at the same time, in Update 1.1, leaving each with no other possible character to dance with.

* SlouchOfVillainy: If you pay money to the Golden Joja Parrot on Ginger Island to get the missing Golden Acorns, a cutscene will play in which he appears slouching on a beach chair on the island, surrounded by bags of money.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: He sells "Perfection Waivers", which contribute to 1% of HundredPercentCompletion.

* MoneySink: The cost of one Perfection Waiver is 500,000 gold. For reference, the Golden Clock costs only four times more and contributes more to the overall percentage than buying four of his waivers.

!!Others
[[folder:Grandpa]]

The player character's grandpa, from whom the farm was inherited. He lived in the valley for many years tending to the farm before passing away.

* Goth: Sebastian always wears black, has long black hair which [[HidingBehindYourBangs partly hides his left eye]], smokes cigarettes, and has an overall depressed demeanor. Becomes [[PerkyGoth a lot happier in general]] if he marries and moves in with the player.
