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. At 12, after sculpting, she often goes out to draw beside the pond in the woods, pierre's shop shop or sometimes the beach in the summer. On rainy days in spring she goes to the The Stardrop Saloon at 5:30PM.

Heart Events

One Heart

Speaking to Leah either in general store or when outside her house, she asks "So why did you become a farmer?"

• "I want to make tons of money."

• "It's more "real" than living in the city." and she responds "That's pretty much the reason I came here, too!"

• "To follow in grandpa's footsteps."

• "I wanted to escape my old life."

Two Hearts

When walking into Leah's Cottage you will see her working on a Sculpture. She discusses sculpting with you, "Once you get past the outer layers, the true nature starts to show..." and your response will affect her level of affection for you (look at Social).

• "It's the same with people." no change in friendship points

• "I actually prefer the look of raw, unaltered wood." no change in friendship points,

• "(creepy) May I have a Kiss?" -100 friendship points.

The conversation will turn, "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?" (Hmm... interesting. I guess that could set the wheels in motion to making Pelican Town a true art destination... But what if no one likes my sculptures? I'd be crushed. I'll have to think about it. Well, thanks for stopping by, Name)

• "Why don't you sell your art on the internet?" (says it is expensive)

Four Hearts

If you walk into her house you will see her arguing with her ex partner on the phone asking her to come back to the city she moved from, she continues to tell your her story. After this, she asks if it was selfish of her to move out of the city to be an artist. There are 5 options which can impact her affection for you.

• "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 previously she will either thank you for listening or get angry but quickly calm down, then tell you she has been thinking about the art show, or say she has been saving for a computer.

Six Hearts

Head to your farm to trigger the event. Leah will speak to you to say she has a gift for you and you receive the sculpture she has been working on in her house.

Walk south from your farm after 11 am in Spring, after 3 pm in Summer, or after 8:40 pm in Autumn (when she's in Cindersap Forest , it will trigger), to Cindersap Forest and you will see her trying to reach a fruit from the large tree just above the forest lake. Leah can't reach it, so you place her on your shoulders. She thanks you and talks about how if her art ever fails, you'll always be there to catch her.

This cut scene is not available in winter. It will be delayed to the next suitable day.

Eight Hearts

Leah will visit your farm the next morning and invite you to her art show in the town that same afternoon. Between 3 PM and 5 PM go into town to trigger the art show. (If Leah invites you to her art show on the morning of a festival and you attend the festival, her art show will occur the next day.)

If you chose to suggest she sell her art online in the Two Heart event, there is an alternative heart event. Walk into her house at any point after 10 AM, and she will be on the computer talking about her selling her artwork.

The art show scene cannot happen in the Winter, whereas the computer event can.

Ten Hearts

Walk south of the farm after 11am and the heart event will start. She will invite the player to a picnic and thank for supporting her art show or her art website. Then the player and Leah will share a kiss. Kel (her ex) will show up and Leah will get annoyed. If player choose to tell her to sell art online, player will find out that Kel was "Mr. K". Player may choose to punch Kel or reason. If player don't punch Kel, then Leah will. Player punching Kel will lead Leah to comment that the player's violence concerns her.

Kel's appearance is androgynous and their gender changes, possibly based on the gender of player's Farmer.

This cut scene is not available in winter or in bad weather. It will be delayed to the next suitable day.

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 the person you are marrying.

Once the player marries Leah, your house will have an addition with a small art studio. Her old house will still be accessible during her old hours but she will not go there any longer.

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.
