The People of the Valley

I have received quite a few emails requesting a section outlining and describing the residents of forget me not valley. So, I am adding this long overdue section to the guide. I spent some time in the game researching each of the people in the game and what they like and don't like. I also have most of their birthdays. I have been giving gifts out for a long time and I have been keeping track of when they thank me for a gift on their birthday. Just as a side note, you won't find any of the girls that you can normally marry in the game in this section. They are listed with their likes and dislikes in the marriage section along with their heart events. The information I am putting in this section is already included with them in the marriage section of the game. So, I don't see any point to tying it all out a second time.

All of the people in the valley have a friendship score. The girls you can marry also have one in addition to their affection score. The score can be set from 0 to 255 and you can increase it in several ways. The higher the score is, the more you are supposedly friends with the person. The primary ways is by giving people in town gifts. The more they like the item you give them, the more friendship points they will gain from it. Only the first gift counts each day. Making friends with the town's people will trigger various events around the valley and supposedly influences your son's career path. I don't know, because my son hasn't been born yet. I will keep you posted on their impact in a future section of guide. There is a glitch that you can use to raise a person's friendship meter. You can show them either your dog or your cat and they will gain one point of friendship. This can be repeated any number of times a day until their meter tops at 255.

The following people live in forget me not valley. I have their likes and birthday listed as well as a short description of who they are. I will also list any non window-dressing events that I have triggered with them. They are in no particular order.
