Rune Factory Pt. 14

Let's continue to introduce the available bachelorettes from Rune Factory 3, starting with Sophia.

Sophia is one of the two daughters of the richest man in town. She has a very unusual quirk when speaking: Like her father, she always says the opposite of what she means. Well, that's what the game says, but she only says the opposite of some stuff, or her speech would get way too weird. To avoid confusion for the player on what she really means, any words that are part of her opposite-speak are red. Throughout the game, Micah eventually learns to sync up with the way she talks and interact with her with clarity.

I think I'll mention Evelyn now because even though Micah can't marry her, she technically is still a bachelorette. Evelyn is Sophia's older sister and the only member of their family who does not speak in opposites. She runs a store in her home's downstairs that "might" be open at certain times, and she sells different outfits that Micah can wear in the game. She also sells some decorative furniture objects which I feel just get in the way. Sometime after Micah gets married, Gaius will ask for your help to propose to Evelyn.

The last person in town who's a bachelorette is Carmen, sister of the man who runs the local artificial fishing area. She's a tanned tomboy fisher who quickly asserts herself as Micah's master in all things fishing. Over time, though, she makes it a point to step down as master and step up as official girlfriend, going so far as to arrange Micah to get her brother's blessing on their being together.

Last up will be Kuruna, who lives in the desert settlement. I'll talk about her tomorrow.
