* UnlockableContent: Kamil is one of the few love interests who is not in the village from the start. He arrives during year 2, and only if you've unlocked three or more vendors.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Subverted. As his romance arc continues, he admits that he expected this reaction when he told his parents about wanting to travel in search of new flowers, but was surprised to find they were very supportive.

!! Klaus
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/44a33c2e504aaf61b7818afc015ff8c1.jpg]]

A perfumist by trade, Klaus lives in western Oak Tree Town.

* BadassLongcoat[=/=]RetiredBadass: His badass days are behind him; see below.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The game book says that Klaus is rumored to have one of these, but "he will neither confirm nor deny it."
** TheReveal: Once you build the television, you can tune in to an interview with an old schoolmate of his. Apparently, [[spoiler:[[http://mollygoodgolly.tumblr.com/post/116175476393/kassies-interview-about-klauss-past-part-1 Klaus formed a gang and won a turf war]].]]
* GentlemanAndAScholar: Klaus is extremely gentlemanly, and his work with perfumes is more about the science of fragrance than anything else. Notably, he doesn't have a shop where anyone can purchase what he makes.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Klaus may make a remark about the "other activities" you can do at home, and invites you to come and visit if you want to know what exactly he's talking about.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: As noted above. [[spoiler:In his younger days, Klaus - or "Boss" - fought a private war against criminals threatening his hometown, and ''won''.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: Implied, as he makes a few remarks about being too old for the female protagonist.
* NatureLover: He's fond of long walks in the forested area between your farm and the main town.
* PairTheSpares: He and Iris are a FanPreferredCouple if neither is romanced, although the game never presents them as being more than JustFriends.
* SharpDressedMan: Klaus is the most formally dressed of all the male love interests. He looks very much like a Victorian gentleman, complete with waistcoat and pocketwatch.
* SmellsSexy: He's a perfumist by profession, and presents a female who romances him with gifts of perfume.
* TriangRelations: Klaus and Iris are good friends, and she is often found visiting his home. This factors into his romance line, as the female protagonist and Mistel both read [[MistakenForRomance something into it that isn't there]], and Klaus has to outright declare his love to clear up the matter.

!! Mistel
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7f05e5d39dab982c21605d75644d3126.jpg]]

The young owner of the local antique shop, and Iris's younger brother.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: If the player character is male and romancing Iris, he plays this role to the hilt, teasing his sister about her relationship.
* AnywhereButTheirLips: He's fond of giving cheek kisses during the romance.
* TheCutie
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: If you marry Mistel, some mornings he'll tell you that you were calling his name in your sleep, coyly wondering [[EroticDream what kind of dream you were having]].
* MissingMom[=/=]DisappearedDad: His parents are presumably dead, since Iris raised him.
* MyBelovedSmother: Iris isn't his mother, but it's noted through his arc that Mistel would like to assert greater independence from her mothering.
* NeatFreak: He's very meticulous about keeping his shop neat and clean.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Like Fritz, he seems extremely young, but is apparently a grown man.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He seems to have a fondness for long words.
* {{Shopkeeper}}: He runs the antique shop.

!! Nadi
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/de1a437cb436a403524ca4df5cb0e787.jpg]]

Nadi came from a faraway country to work on the grounds of Elise's estate. He specializes in the care of exotic plants.

* BizarreTasteInFood: Unlike the other residents of the village, Nadi ''loves'' Grass Juice. It's actually his favorite gift.
* {{Bishonen}}
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* GreenEyedMonster: During his romance arc, he has a jealous moment when Giorgio invites you to a party.
* HeroicFatigue: He works extremely hard and is often tired as a result; he even falls asleep at the table on one of your dates.
* PlantPerson: He's very skilled at the care and maintenance of difficult plants.
* TheStoic: He's a man of few words.
* UnlockableContent: Like Kamil, he's one of the only love interests not in the game from the beginning; he arrives in your first winter or later, and you have to walk in a certain area to trigger his introduction.
* WalkingTheEarth: He's traveled to many different countries to hone his skill with exotic plants.

!! Raeger
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6068a938082034e0944717a38a987278.jpg]]

Raeger moved to Oak Tree Town to help his grandfather, who ran the town's only restaurant. Since his grandfather's death, he has taken over the business.

* AndYourRewardIsEdible: Eating at his restaurant multiple times results in him gifting you with recipes.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He seems to have something like this for a few of the other guys if he's not romanced, counseling them as to how to treat the female protagonist.
* {{Bishonen}}
* ChickMagnet: He's regarded as something of a playboy because of how nice he is to all the women.
** TriangRelations: This factors into his romance arc.
* HeroicFatigue: He works so hard that at one point, he becomes ill from exhaustion.
* LuminescentBlush: He blushes more easily than most of the other guys.
* ParentalObliviousness[=/=]GrandparentalObliviousness: When ill as noted above, he's touched that you're taking care of him; after his parents divorced when he was small, he was raised by his mom and her dad, and they were always too busy to pay much attention to him when he was sick.
* RealMenCook
* SharpDressedMan: He wears a nice suit under his chef's apron; among the men, he's second only to Klaus in his fashion sense.

Agate is the ranger at Safari Park. She lives in the seemingly unoccupied house in western Oak Tree Town.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: She loves animals and is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of animals and plants.
* GuideDangIt: If you talk to Veronica at the Guild hall, Agate will introduce herself, and thereafter she can help you shuttle your animals to the Safari Park to graze. You can also just hop on your horse and ride there, but you won't have the option of taking your animals to the park unless you unlock Agate in this manner.
* RockThemeNaming: She's named after a stone, probably to highlight her connection with the natural world.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: At one point in the romance arc, you'll come across her playing with some foxes. If you agree to join them, she communicates as much to the animals, and reports that they're very happy about it.
* UnlockableContent: Agate is one of the few love interests not already in town when you arrive, although she is much easier to unlock than other examples. Just go to the Guild hall and speak to Veronica any time after the first day of fall in your first year.

!! Angela
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e0ae70822e210199c5cd717915a6c3da.jpg]]

* SpotOfTea: Her favorite gift is Fall Herb Tea; she also loves receiving other teas or tea leaves.
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl]]: A major part of her motivation - she has to earn the approval of her mother (and the rest of the village) to eventually take over as guildmaster when Veronica retires.

!! Elise
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ab9c68d508535535174dfc11b674f221.jpg]]

A nobleman's daughter who decided that farming would be fun.

* CompetitionFreak: She certainly acts like one any time you challenge her.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: She has five ''rivalry'' events which must be completed before the romance arc can even begin.
** DifficultySpike: Once the five rivalry events are done, she also has an additional romance event beyond the four that other love interests have.
* FriendlyEnemy: One of your four rival farmers.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Easily has the most hair of anyone in the game.
* MistakenForServant: Thanks to an error by one of her employees, this is how you meet her. When she realizes the mistake, she has you thrown out for trespassing.
* PimpedOutDress: Her usual outfit. It's [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]], of course.
* RichBitch: She can come across this way, especially when you first meet her.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Nobility, not royalty, at least to judge by the fact that her servants call her Lady Elise. She doesn't really do a lot of farming herself, but she does oversee everything.
* SweetTooth: She adores desserts. Her favorite gift is Chocolate Fondue.
* TheUnfavorite: Implied. If you talk to her at the fireworks festival in summer, she recalls how her father used to have lavish fireworks for her sister's birthday, and notes wistfully that he loves her sister a lot.

!! Iris
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8e122878bf4058f76dd0eda16102db20.jpg]]

* PromotionToParent: She raised her little brother Mistel.

!! Licorice
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a4a85ad61d144880a060998e356f1e44.jpg]]

A stranger from far away, Licorice is a dedicated botanist.

* BerserkButton: She gets upset if people laugh at her about her theories.
* BrainyBrunette
* DifficultySpike: Unlike most of the other love interests, Licorice does not have a flower on her dialogue box whose color indicates your friendship level. Pushing the left "shoulder" button on your DS will provide a clue, however.
* FailedASpotCheck: You can find her so deeply engrossed in her work that she doesn't even notice you're there.
* GeniusDitz: Licorice is not stupid - but she is so intently focused on her studies that it makes her somewhat scatterbrained about other things.
* {{Nephewism}}: She trained at her uncle's fruit orchard.
* PlantPerson: She firmly believes that plants have spirits of their own, and even talks to them.
* UnlockableContent: She's another of the rare love interests who comes to the village after your arrival, and in fact may be the last one to appear.

* [[FirstGirlWins First Guy Wins]]: Lillie explains, at the culmination of the romance arc, that you are her very first boyfriend.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: She and Melanie both take a particular shine to Kamil when he moves into the inn; as noted above, a female player character has to have good friendship levels with both girls to successfully romance him.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: In the earliest stage of her romance, you see her talking to various residents who are thanking her for helping them in one way or another.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She lives at home with her dad and sister, but works in television and is old enough to get married.

* SweetTooth: Her favorite gift is Chocolate Ice Cream, and she loves receiving other sweet things as well.

[[folder: Other Villagers]]

Angela's mother and the head of the Guild, which is essentially the governing body of Oak Tree Town. She's the one who approved your application to become a farmer and instructs you in almost anything Eda doesn't cover.

* Absurdly Youthful Mother: Veronica doesn't look like she can be much more than thirty, but she's old enough to have an adult daughter.
* Birthday Hater: Most of the characters are extremely pleased when you acknowledge their birthdays with a gift. Veronica, however, initially reacts with an almost despondent expression on her face, lamenting the fact that she's another year older. She then quickly smiles and expresses her appreciation for your thoughtfulness, insisting that she hadn't said anything negative.
* [[BestFriendsInLaw Friend-In-Law]]: Veronica can become this if you marry Angela, who is her daughter.
* Mission Control: She explains everything to you and is the one you approach in order to set up StreetPass or participate in any festivals.
* [[MrExposition Ms. Exposition]]
* Ultimate Authority Mayor: The game doesn't identify her explicitly as the mayor of Oak Tree Town, but she pretty much runs the village. She's the one to handle all the details about land assignment, competitions, vendors, and other day-to-day operations in the town. She's even the one who performs the ceremony should your character get married.

!! Marian

The physician at the town clinic, and Angela's boss. Marian is the one to patch you up if you pass out from overwork.

* CompetitionFreak: Comes across this way when Veronica announces the Land Conquest competition between the farmers.
* FriendlyEnemy: One of your four rival farmers.
* ProudBeauty: He's well aware of how attractive he is, and speaks of it often. Despite this, he's actually a NiceGuy.
* SomethingAboutARose: He raises flowers, always has a rose on his shirt, and even lives at Rose Wood Farm.
* TheUnseen: He has a girlfriend to whom he's devoted (which is why he's not a romance option), but she's never seen in the game.

!! Maurice

The friendly innkeeper, father of Melanie and Lillie.

* GoodParents: He's a genuinely NiceGuy, and devoted to his kids.
* MissingMom: He doesn't seem to have a wife.
* RaisedByDudes: His kids are this.
* TeamDad: To a small extent, beyond his own children. Licorice, Nadi, and Kamil all rent rooms in his inn and become part of the extended family; this is especially true of Kamil, who is adored by Maurice's daughters.

!! Gunther and Corona

The town carpenter and his wife.

* BaldOfAwesome: Gunther
* HappilyMarried

!! Otmar

The elderly owner of the town's general store.
