Leah

“	“Leah lives alone in a small cabin just outside of town. She loves to spend time outside, foraging for a wild meal or simply enjoying the gifts of the season. She’s a talented artist with a large portfolio of work… yet she’s too nervous to display it to the public. Maybe you can give her a little confidence boost?”
	— Dev Update #12

Leah is a villager who lives in a small cottage outside Pelican Town. She's one of the ten characters available to marry.

She spends each morning sculpting inside her cottage. Her home opens at 10:00 AM, but players must first aquire two hearts in friendship before being allowed inside. The first time the player enters her cottage an event will be triggered, but only if she is at home at the time.

Schedule

Each day Leah wakes up at 10:00 AM and begins the day sculpting in her cottage. Unless players have achieved at least two friendship hearts with her they will be unable to enter her home.

Heart Events

Two Hearts

Enter Leah's Cottage when she's there.

Details

You see her working on a sculpture. She discusses sculpting with you, and says "Once you get past the outer layers, the true nature starts to show..." "It's the same with people." No change in friendship points. "I actually prefer the look of raw, unadultered wood." No change in friendship points. "(creepy) May I have a kiss?" -100 friendship points. She continues, "Although, I have to admit... It's not easy to pay the bills as an artist." "Why don't you have an art show in town?" She muses that it could help make Pelican Town a true art destination, but says she'd be crushed if nobody liked her sculptures. She says she'll think about it, and thanks you for stopping by. "Why don't you sell your art on the internet?" She says it's expensive.

Four Hearts

Enter Leah's Cottage when she's there.

Details

You see her arguing with her ex-partner on the phone, who is asking her to come back to the city she left. After the call, she tells you her story and asks if it was selfish to move out of the city to be an artist. "No, it had to be done." No change in friendship points. "No, and your ex sounds like an idiot." No change in friendship points. Leah responds, "That's a bit harsh... But yeah, we had different priorities." "No, but you would've been better off staying in the city." -20 friendship points. "Yeah, a little." -20 friendship points. "Yeah, but it's natural to care about yourself first." -20 friendship points. Depending on your response in this conversation and the two-heart event, she'll either thank you for listening or briefly get angry. She tells you that she's been thinking about the art show or is saving for a computer, depending on your choice in the previous event.

Six Hearts I

Leah is at your farmhouse door on a sunny day between 6am and 11:30am.

Details
Leah says she has a gift for you, and you receive the sculpture she's been working on. It's called How I Feel About <your name>.

Six Hearts II

Enter Cindersap Forest when Leah is there, in any season except winter.

Details
Leah is trying to reach a fruit from the large tree above the forest lake. She can't reach it, so you lift her onto your shoulders. She thanks you and says that if her art ever fails, you'll always be there to catch her.

Eight Hearts

Art Show

If you suggested an art show in her two-heart event, Leah is at your farmhouse door between 6am and 8am (except in winter) to invite you to her art show. Enter the town between 3pm and 5pm (not necessarily the same day).

Details

You arrive to find many others already present. Leah is happy to see you, and nervously starts the art show. She thanks everyone for coming. Leah says she came to Pelican Town to draw inspiration from the beautiful surroundings, and confesses that it really feels like home now. She presents her sculptures. "I haven't named this one, yet. She started out as an exercise in human anatomy, but I ended up seeing her through to completion. Her expression is intentionally unclear... is she embarrassed, amused, pained? I'll leave that for you to decide." (pause) "This one's called 'Post-Dimensional Nullspace'. It represents the boundary of human imagination. The shape and color came to me vividly when I was in a 'trance state'." (pause) "I've been calling this one 'Egg Heads'. I wanted to create an animatronic humanoid statue to toy with the viewer's ability to properly attribute personhood to a physical entity." (pause) "And the last one is called 'Wood Sculpture 3'. It's a celebration of my favorite sculpting material... wood." Finally, she thanks her special friend (you), who gave her the idea for the art show and the courage to go through with it. The villagers all praise Leah and her artwork: Lewis: "I'm proud of you, Leah! Events like this really breathe life into our little town!" Gus: "Great stuff!" Demetrius: "I love your art, Leah! 'Post-Dimensional Nullspace' is my favorite." Robin: "Great use of wood!" Penny: "Thanks for doing this!" Leah thanks everyone, Lewis starts the bidding on the art pieces, and the scene fades. Afterwards Leah says she's exhaused but it was a success.

Art Website

If you suggested an art website in her two-heart event, enter Leah's Cottage when she's there.

Details

Leah proudly tells you she bought a laptop and set up an online art shop like you suggested. Her computer plays a coin sound, and she excitedly says that means someone just bought something. She pauses and says there's a "Mr K" who keeps buying all her sculptures. She figures it must be "some rich guy" who loves her art. She thanks you for the idea and says it's been really successful so far, and is confident she'll have enough money to work on her art full-time now. She goes back to work on her store, tweaking the CSS sheets.

Ten Hearts

Enter Cindersnap Forest after 11am on a sunny day, any season except winter.

Details

Leah invites you to a picnic and thanks you for supporting her art show or art website. You and Leah share a kiss just as her ex-partner Kel appears. Leah is annoyed. If Leah is selling her art online, you find out that Kel was "Mr K". An argument ensues, and you can choose to punch Kel or reason with him. If you don't punch Kel, Leah does instead. If you punch him, Leah says say that your violence concerns her. Kel's appearance is androgynous and their gender changes, possibly based on the gender of your farmer.

Marriage

Leah's room.

To become engaged, you must give the desired character a Mermaid's Pendant.

The wedding will take place 3 days after you propose and be handled by Leah. The marriage ceremony takes place in the center of Pelican Town with every member of the town attending the event. Once the ceremony is complete, she will move into your farm, and your house will have an addition with a small art studio. This has no impact on the external look of your house. Her old house will still be accessible during her old hours but she will not go there any longer.

Behavior

Leah exhibits 4 notable behaviors once married.

1: Taking care of tasks for you

Watering most or all crops on your farm (only in spring, summer, and fall)

Repairing broken fences

Feeding all animals

Watering your dog's/cat's bowl

2: Giving you a random plant, saying she grew it behind the house, or a salad or a coffee. If your inventory is full, you will not receive the item.

3: Giving a stardrop as a symbol of love

Get your spouse to 13/12 hearts and speak to them in your home. She will comment about life on the farm and how they are enjoying it, then give you the Stardrop Fruit as thanks.

4: Going on nature walks

Occasionally Leah will take walks around the Valley. She will leave the farm and can be found walking through the forest south of the farm near the lake. After which she will wander to town before returning to the farm.

Dialogue

I got up early and watered some crops for you. I hope it makes your job a little easier today.

I also filled <pet name>'s water bowl.

You can just tell the air is clean here... it feels good in the lungs.

It's going to be a special day, I can sense it.

It's so quiet and peaceful in the evening. Nothing to disteact you from the experience of living.

I'm going to take a nature walk today. I need to get out of the house.

I had a nice, relaxing time today. How did your day go?

Dear, I'm pregnant. Isn't it wonderful?

I was thinking... life's too short to eat bad food. Luckily, we live in one of the best regions for fresh greens and vegetables!

Here, I made you a healthy salad.

I'm surprised you aren't sick of my salad yet!

I was just admiring my wedding amulet... I'll cherish this treasure for the rest of my life.

Good morning, <player name>. I've planted these in a little pot out back... <gives gift>

I grew that with great love and attention. Enjoy it.

It's so much lovelier here at night than the garish glow of the city.

Everything worked out perfectly for me. I'm very lucky.

Good morning, <player name>! I made us some coffee.

My morning just wouldn't be complete without a hot cup of coffee.
