Alex

“	“Alex loves sports and hanging out at the beach. He is quite arrogant and brags to everyone that he is going to be a professional athlete. Is his cockiness just a facade to mask his crushing self-doubt? Is he using his sports dream to fill the void left by the disappearance of his parents? Or is he just a brazen youth trying to “look cool”
	— Dev Update #12

Alex is a villager who lives in Pelican Town. He's one of the ten characters available to marry.

Heart Events

Two Hearts

During Summer, before 12pm walk out onto the beach. Alex will be there with his grindball. He greets you and talks to you about his chances of going pro. He asks the player what they think his chances are. The scene will end with Alex tossing the player the grindball.

Four Hearts

After 2pm walk into the main square in town. Alex will be standing next to the dog yard next to his home. He's speaking to the dog. Your character will come out from behind the saloon and Alex will address you. He asks if you heard any of that. You can answer yes or no. Saying yes prompts him to tell you more about what he was discussing with the dog. The scene will end with Alex feeding the dog a steak.

Six Hearts

This event occurs in Alex's house. You approach him while he stares at his bookcase, lamenting the fact that he hasn't read a single book in it. He tells you he's worried that he won't get anywhere in life without being knowledgeable, and he feels worthless. You can either say "That's crazy. You're a genius!" "We all have our strengths and weaknesses" or "Worthless? Yeah, that about sums it up." He decides that if he works hard he can accomplish anything. He suggests that you and him have dinner and discuss philosophy.

Eight Hearts

Go to Pierre's to buy a bouquet and give it to Alex. He will admit he has feelings for you too.

Ten Hearts

Alex asks you on a dinner date. On the dinner date, he confesses he likes the player in a way that's more than just friends. You have the option to tell him you feel the same or that you don't like him in that way.

Marriage

Go to the beach on a rainy day to find the mariner. Talk to the mariner and purchase the mermaid's necklace. After you give it to Alex, he will accept it and agree to marriage. Marriage will occur three days later regardless of season.
