  > 1.2 How to Get Characters to Arrive in Town
----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Certain characters will already be in the Village when you start
your file.  However, there are a select few who must be persuaded into
moving in!

> Carl � In order to obtain Carl, all you have to do is visit the horse
race during Spring.  As soon as the Moonlight Caf� is built, he will be
a waiter behind the counter.

> Dan � Dan will appear on the weekends if there is good weather, after
you attend the Spring horse race, so be sure to look out for him.  As
soon as Ronald constructs the Paradise Orchard, Dan will begin to work
there. (See Ronald for information on the Paradise Orchard.)

> Dia � Dia will only arrive once the Sanatorium has been built.  In
order to get the Sanatorium in your Village, you must befriend Martha
with one heart and ship at least 30 herbs.

> Doug � You will have the opportunity to meet Doug if you attend the
Spring horse race on the 17th.  He will then open the Perch Inn at the
beginning of Summer, and show up during the weekend if there is good
weather, until it is built.

> Duke � You will have the opportunity to meet Duke if you attend the
Spring horse race on the 17th.  He will open the Moonlight Caf� at the
beginning of Summer, and show up during the weekend if there is good
weather, until it is built.

> Eve � You will meet Eve upon entering the Moonlight Caf� for the first
time. (See Duke for information on the Moonlight Caf�.)

> Gina � Gina will only arrive once the Sanatorium has been built.  In
order to get the Sanatorium in your Village, you must befriend Martha
with one heart and ship at least 30 herbs.

> Katie � Katie will apply to become a waitress at the Caf� Callaway
and you will meet her as soon as you enter for the first time.  In order
to get the Caf� Callaway in your Village, you must first befriend Carl
with one heart or more.

> Lyla � You must first attend the Flower Festival, which takes place
on the 23rd of Spring.  After you meet her, she will wander around the
Village on the weekends so long as the weather is clear.  After
befriending her with one heart, and shipping 20 or more flowers, and
at least two of each berry, Lyla will construct a wonderful gift shop
which sells: jams, yarn, flowers, and other great gifts.

> Martha � To obtain Martha, you should first have at one to two hearts
with Alex.  She will show up at the Clinic afterward.

> Saibara � Saibara will only open up his clay shop as soon as you ship
one Good Clay, which can be found by using the hoe in the second level
of the Mines.

> Ronald � Ronald will appear at the Spring horse races, which takes
place on the 17th.  Afterwards, he will show up every weekend if the
weather is clear, until his orchard is built.  To get Ronald to build his 
orchard, you must first buy a fruit sapling (orange preferably), and plant it
in the yard.  REMEMBER: Trees MUST be planted in the middle of a 3x3 area
with NOTHING surrounded by it in order to grow and produce fruit.  Orange
trees are planted in the Spring Season, and produce fruit in the Summer.
Once you plant the sapling, Ronald will arrive at your door, telling you
he wishes to build an orchard.  Now all you have to do is ship one of any
type of fruit, and Ronald will send you a letter, telling you that Paradise
Orchards has been opened!

> Tai � Tai is the blacksmith, and will only arrive in town as soon as
you ship one of every type of ore:  Junk Ore, Copper Ore, Silver Ore,
Gold Ore, and Rare Ore.  These can be found on multiple levels of the
mine, which you can obtain by standing on the cracks and falling through
to lower levels.

> Tim � You will meet Tim as soon as you enter the blacksmith shop.

Y Button and scroll over to check different heart ratings with each character
you have met.  For each character which is eligible to become a husband or
wife, whether you are a playing as a boy or a girl, you can obtain certain
Musical Notes for bringing their heart levels to mid-two hearts (meaning almost
three hearts) with these characters.  Also, each of them will give you an item

give you a special item after their heart meter has reached mid-five hearts
as well.

     Of course, there will be others who have their eyes set on the man
or woman who you do.  There are other suitors in the village who will want
to marry certain members of the opposite gender as well.

Here are the following rivals (vice versa for the men):
If you want to marry Ann, your rival is Blue.
If you want to marry Dia, your rival is Kurt.
If you want to marry Ellen, your rival is Carl.
If you want to marry Eve, your rival is Dan.
If you want to marry Gina, your rival is Alex.
If you want to marry Gwen, your rival is Bob.
If you want to marry Katie, your rival is Joe.
If you want to marry Lyla, your rival is Louis.
If you want to marry Maria, your rival is Ray.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
  > 2.2 Marriage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
     In order to get married, you MUST have a partner at 8-10 hearts, a
level 3 house upgrade, and the Large (Plain) bed in your house.  This
will activate a cut scene the next day (if the weather is clear), where
Theodore comes to your door and tells you of the blue bird which rests at
the top of the mountain.  Be sure to have a hammer in your rucksack if you
haven�t already cleared the cave at the very top of Mt. Moon, and some food
to rest
