Stardew Valley Cheat Sheet - Characters

Stardew Valley Character Guide: This guide goes over the bachelors and bachelorettes also known as the datable or mariage characters in addition to the non-marriage candidates and non-giftable NPCs.

Stardew Valley Characters are also referred to as villagers who live in Pelican Town. Villages add an element of excitement to the game as they have loves, likes, dislike and hates when it comes to giving gifts -- an important element in friendship. They can also provide quests and have routines based on weather and time.

Marriage Characters

Alex

What to know about Alex from Stardew Valley: Alex has a passion for sports and enjoys spending time at the beach. His confidence often leads him to boast about becoming a professional athlete. However, beneath his bravado lies a deeper complexity. Is his arrogance merely a mask for self-doubt? Or does his sports dream serve as a way to cope with the loss of his parents? Perhaps he’s simply a bold youth trying to maintain a cool facade.

Alex Schedule: In spring, Alex emerges from his home around 8 am (unless it’s raining). He stands by the tree to the right of his house, playing gridball, and later moves toward the left of the fenced-in area. During summer, you’ll find him on the beach in the morning and running the Ice Cream Stand to the left of the museum in the afternoon. On the 16th of summer, he has a clinic appointment. In winter, he works out at the Spa almost every day. After the Beach Resort on Ginger Island is unlocked, Alex may randomly spend the day there, but he avoids the Resort on festival days or his checkup day at Harvey’s Clinic.
