Bachelors and Bachelorettes

Skye

Called "The Phantom Thief," he slinks around the valley looking for things to abscond with. He always warns his victims before appearing, and he thinks his destiny is to be a curry chef. He flirts shamelessly with the ladies, regardless of their age or marital status. Some of them are receptive to it. Others... aren't.

---

• Dating Catwoman: To a certain extent. Most of his heart events occur when he's stealing stuff from someone. Eventually, he says that some of his later thefts were only for a chance to see the main character.
• Dub Name Change: He's known as "Steiner" in Japan

• If I Can't Have You…: If you try to propose he'll just assume you're showing him that you've gotten yourself a blue feather. He'll later break into your house to steal it so you can't propose to someone else, at which point you have to let him know it was intended for him anyway.

• Not a Morning Person: Out of all the eligible bachelors, he's the only one who will still be sleeping when you wake up in the morning. Possibly justified in that he's usually out late at night.
• Power Perversion Potential: He uses a technique called the "Chick Beam" to temporarily paralyze anyone in their tracks, rendering them helpless. Of course, he never goes too far with it, only using it to hinder people while he makes his escape.
• Secret Character: Unless you have read a guide or gone to Lumina's mansion at 10 PM by any chance that triggers a cutscene which makes Skye into an eligible bachelor, you wouldn't have known that Skye even existed in the game. And even after you triggered the cutscene, he's really hard to find and is exhausting to your character, as he appears every night from east of Vesta's Farm.
• Sissy Villain: Okay, "villain" isn't quite right — he's a Gentleman Thief more than anything—but he's definitely a little bit on the foppish side.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Curry. His most favourite dish is the Finest Curry.
• Version-Exclusive Content: He is the "special" bachelor for Harvest Moon DS Cute, and was created specifically for that game.

Leia

A cute mermaid, she was rescued by Daryl. At first, she looks like another one of his experiments, but he actually cares deeply about her and wants to learn about mermaid culture from her. In return, she cooks for him and is his friend.

---

• Bathtub Mermaid: She stays in Daryl's bathtub until her final heart event, where she'll return to the ocean. She moves to your fishpond if you marry her.
• Dub Name Change: Her name is "Lettuce" in Japan.
• Expy: Of Retasu from Tokyo Mew Mew, aka Mew Lettuce. Her Japanese name is even "Lettuce".
• Interspecies Romance: She's a mermaid and the protagonist is human, but you can still date and marry her if you want.
• Mermaid Problem: She can get pregnant just as the human bachelorettes can, and gives birth to a human child just as they would. Other than some lampshading by the town doctor, it's never brought up.
• Missing Child: She washed up on shore due to a hurricane, separating her from her mother in the ocean. Unless you court her long enough to see all of her heart events, she'll stay in Daryl's bathtub forever and apparently never see her mother again.

• Our Mermaids Are Different: They don't like human food whatsoever, apparently.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension: She's one of the available bachelorettes, but she's "special," so she has no rival. However, her relationship with Daryl is actually somewhat cute — they act a bit like a married couple at times.

Keira

A princess who sleeps deep within the mines at Carter and Flora's excavation site. She does not speak, but has a tablet to write on. She was imprisoned there by the Witch Princess. She's one of the available bachelorettes, but be warned—just going to see her every day is no small feat, and she has expensive tastes.

---

• Long-Distance Relationship: She lives on the 255th floor of a mine, while you are a surface-dweller. Subverted — once you manage to woo and marry her, she'll live in your house with you.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Keira is several hundred years old, and possibly an immortal.

• Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: This is how she writes in the English version.

Villagers

Barney

The ringleader of the circus that moves into town after your child is born.

---

• Black Bead Eyes: He's the only human character to have tiny black dots for eyes.
• Cloudcuckoolander: The player character can witness him trying to recruit Mukumuku to his circus.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: "Ugly" is a bit of a strong word to describe Barney, but he's far more cartoony-looking than his wife.

Mimi

The star acrobat of the circus, and Barney's wife.

---

• Fashionable Asymmetry: Her costume has one shoulder strap, and one elbow length glove.
• Fluffy Fashion Feathers: She wears a feathered headpiece as part of her costume.
