Eunice (JP: Juni)
The daughter of the local innkeepers. She's a kind girl with a sweet tooth, and her father's genes cause her to easily put on weight. She also enjoys housework and can be found helping out around the inn.
She will already be in Trampoli when Raguna moves in.
- Big Beautiful Woman: She's a bachelorette and you can marry her either as is or in a thinner form.
- Chubby Chef: The first, and thus far, only Rune Factory or Harvest Moon bachelorette to be visibly overweight. While it's possible to persuade her to lose weight, doing so is completely optional, and she's marriageable either way.
- Dub Name Change: From Juni to Eunice.
- Fanservice Pack: Over the course of a single game. If Raguna gets her LP high enough, she will go on a diet and, two seasons later, doll up in swimsuits like the other girls.

- Girl Next Door: Out of all the bachelorettes, she is the most normal.

Iris (JP: Elis)
A pair of mysterious girls who are both named Iris, but are differentiated with the nicknames "Blanche" and "Noire". Blanche is first met living in the Tower of Rest on Whale Island while Iris Noire is met later in the Snow Ruins. Despite their similar personalities, Blanche is more cheerful than the subdued Noire.
Noire will move into the Tower of Rest with Blanche after she is met. The two of them will move into the inn in Trampoli after the storyline is completed.
- Broken Bird: Noire. She was kidnapped by Gelwein, forced to sing for him, and emotionally tormented into believing she was completely worthless. Even after she's rescued, she still remains rather melancholy.
- Dub Name Change: From Elis to Iris.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Drinks tomato juice instead of blood.
- It's All My Fault: After Raguna saves her from Gelwein's control, Noire says this about Mist's kidnapping. Raguna talks her out of it, though.
- Last of Her Kind: Sole remaining members of a vampire race, which by Word of God died off more from lack of interest in reproducing than from being hunted down. Iris is implied in fan material to not be a full blooded member of her species, which is also apparently 'not' vampires, just something that can't enter a church, sleeps during the day, drinks blood, and passes out if one gives it garlic.
- Literal Split Personality: Due to being the last of her kind, the original Iris split herself into Blanche and Noire so that she wouldn't be lonely anymore.
- Magic Music: The Spirit Song.
- More than Mind Control: Gelwein manipulates Iris Noire this way, telling her she's a worthless fool with no friends. And it works. If Raguna gets Blanche to intervene, Noire will even tell her that she doesn't know her and that she has nothing.
- Mysterious Waif: Definitely. They have pale hair (light blonde for Blanche, silver for Noire), live isolated from humanity, and have special powers the main villain wants them for.
- Official Couple: It's implied one of them canonically won Raguna's heart, as Rune Factory Oceans confirms that the Iris twins' Rank 10 love event was canonically completed. Granted, this can be done without marrying Iris, but it's still notable as the only mention of any Rank 10 love events happening.
- One-Steve Limit: Subverted and played straight, in an odd way. While there are two independent characters named Iris (they even split up on rare occasions), they are actually two manifestations of the same person. They remain two separate people until the 10LP event is cleared and and they are merged back together.
- Our Vampires Are Different: Word of God states that despite the similarities, the race she comes from are not called vampires.
- Rescue Romance: Twofold. Blanche rescues Raguna from Noire if she has more than 4 LP, and he then rescues Noire from Gelwein.
- Single-Minded Twins: Not really twins, but the only difference between the two is that one will occasionally mention drawing and one will occasionally use tarot cards. Otherwise all their dialogue is the same.
- Skippable Boss: Noire, if Blanche likes Raguna enough.
- Terrible Artist: Blanche is supposedly a terrible artist, but we never get to see her abominations.Raguna: "That's a very cute chitter."Iris Blanche: "That's... an apple..."
Anette
The local mail-carrier for Trampoli. She loves her job and is quick on her feet; which is good, because she is often chased by monsters on her route. She only shows up in town during the early morning. She also works as the mail-carrier for Fenith Island, but only shows up on the 4th day of every season.
She will move in with Mist once her Love Level is past 8, making her the hardest bachelorette to move into Trampoli.
- Artistic License – Biology:Anette: "Pull on me to make me grow taller!"Raguna: "...You're kidding, right?"
- Blessed with Suck: She's always getting chased by those pesky monsters. And in Tides of Destiny, she learns that she also easily gets seasick.

Sister Stella
- Cool Old Lady: She gets a ton of respect from the other villagers.
- The Determinator: She created the entire village of Trampoli on her own, simply by establishing a church in the middle of the wilderness.
- Good Shepherd: She takes in Raguna when he first arrives in Trampoli.
- I Was Quite a Looker: It's heavily implied that the mysterious girl who shows up around Mist's house is Stella's younger self, who looks like she could be a bachelorette.
Erik (JP: Eric)

- Picky Eater: He hates vegetables so much that he'll try not to touch them when he has to pick up Raguna's shipments.
- The Rival: He considers Rosetta his enemy because her shop gets way more business than his own.
- The Slacker: He starts off as this because he's the only general store in town and will receive business regardless of his work. Once Rosetta moves in, he starts to work harder.
- Spear Counterpart: He looks like a male Rosetta, except his hair and eyes are a shade darker.
Kross (JP: Cross)
- Call to Agriculture: He was, in fact, the escaped soldier from the Sechs Empire that Brodik was looking for.

- The Eeyore: He'll regularly say depressing poems to Raguna, and all of them have the same theme: life is pointless.

- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: His hair goes down to his waist.
Ganesha (JP: Ganesa)
- The Blacksmith: She runs the Damascus Forge.
- The Gadfly: She enjoys teasing her son.
- Informed Ability: Supposedly she's a master smith, but by the time the player beats the game she's still crafting some of the weakest of each type of weapon.
Marco
Brodik (JP: Wagner)
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: He trashes Raguna's fields, sends golems to attack him, and ding-dong ditches him in the middle of the night.
- But Now I Must Go: After discovering that Kross is the deserter, he decides to leave Trampoli and report to his superiors that he couldn't find him. He'll come back once a year to challenge Raguna.
- Evil Is Petty: Some of his misdeeds are more obnoxious than straight up evil.

- Kick the Dog: Does this to Raguna and Kross.
- Refitted for Sequel: An unused sprite that looks very similar to him can be found within the internal data of the first game, labeled as a "Sechs Soldier".

Gelwein (JP: Jerubain)

- A God Am I: In the final fight with him, right before the maidens show up in the Era of Disconnect
- They Called Me Mad!: Rightly so; his research of runes for use in warfare was explicitly illegal in Norad.
