“	“I'm studying the local plants and animals from my home laboratory. Have you met my daughter Maru? She's interested to meet you.”
	— Demetrius

Demetrius is a villager who lives at 24 Mountain Road, on The Mountain, with his wife Robin, daughter Maru, and step-son Sebastian.

Demetrius is a scientist who studies the valley's local wildlife. He can often be found working in his laboratory or outdoors taking notes.

Schedule

Routines for each season are ranked by priority with the highest priority at the top. For example, if it's Raining on Friday, he follows the Rainy schedule instead of the Friday schedule.

His "Rainy" and "Friday" routines are the same in every season, but his "Normal Routine" changes every season.

On the 25th of Summer, he has an appointment at the clinic.

Relationships

Demetrius is married to Robin and lives with his daughter Maru and step-son Sebastian. Maru is his daughter with Robin, and Sebastian is Robin's son from an earlier relationship. It is assumed that Demetrius is Robin's second husband, because there are 2 books in the bookcase of their room titled "Maximizing Your Second Marriage" and "Practical Tips For First-Time Step-Dads." Demetrius is very protective of Maru, as shown in her two heart event.
