Harvest Moon Pt. 8

So, I think I promised to talk about Friends of Mineral Town bachelorettes today, right? Okay, let's again kick things off with my favorite.

Popuri. Pink hair, which is totally awesome in and of itself. But as daughter of the owner of the chicken farm, she loves chickens and her family, even if she complains about how protective that evil monster of a brother that she has is. She also has that certain quality that I never liked in Gray: childishness. Your rival for her heart is the only semi-decent guy in the entire town: Kai.

Karen. Very pretty, daughter of the owner of the local supermarket. No one can outdrink her, and there's only one person stupid enough to try. You even get to witness and referee this event one night at the inn. Your competition for her heart is that no-good, horrid, awful, lying, bossy Rick. (For those of you who actually like Rick, I'm so sorry for you.)

Ann. Gotta love these tomboys, and red hair is a bonus. She's the daughter of the innkeeper, super awesome and, if I remember correctly, sort of thrown into being mature beyond her years since her mother died. The object of her affections, if you don't get to her fast enough, is Cliff. However, if you're slow to woo Ann but you don't want Cliff getting ahead of you, all you have to do is be mean enough to not invite Cliff to the winery for a job; he'll run out of money and have to leave.

Mary. The sweet, shy, but tougher-than-she-looks bookworm. Daughter of a man who can't get enough of plants, she works in the library and is even writing her own book! Should you choose not to try to win her over, she'll end up marrying the blacksmith apprentice Gray.

Elli. Doctor's assistant and love interest, should you delay winning her heart yourself. She's pretty nice, and she has that pesky younger brother we all know and can't help but love. Also granddaughter of the woman who can no longer walk.

And there you go, the five girls from Mineral Town that you can marry in either Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town or Harvest Moon DS. Which girl out of all these mentioned in this post or previous ones is your favorite? Or, if you're less picky about your man than me, which boy is your favorite?
