Claire is another new marriage candidate added in the Stardew Valley Expanded Mod. She is a bit different from the other NPCs in Stardew Valley as she doesn't live in town or even in the desert; instead, she commutes to town in order to work. At the beginning of the game, she finds employment with Joja, but this can change depending on what story route the player wants to pursue.
Claire is an NPC that is interested in the art of dance and watching films when she isn't working. While it can be difficult to romance her during certain times, the guide below can help guide you through her route.
Claire's Stats
Claire's birthday is in Fall, and she will give you bonus points if you remember her birthday. When the game starts, she will work the register at Jojamart. If the player picks the community center route, though, she won't work in town again until the movie theater is built.
Birthday: Fall 8
Home Location: Doesn't Live in Pelican Town
Occupation: Jojamart or Movie Theater
Claire's Schedule
Claire won't wander around town like other NPC. Instead, she'll arrive in town at the time stated below and head to work until it's time to go back home. This will change a bit if you manage to get her above six hearts as she will then begin to visit the town on Monday.
Be warned that if you run Joja out of town, Claire will not appear normally again until the movie theater is built.

To win Claire's heart quickly, players will need to be familiar with what types of gifts she loves and hates. She's pretty easy to please, and many of her likes revolve around fruit.
