How To Date Characters In Sun Haven

As soon as you get to Sun Haven on the train, you'll be able to meet plenty of NPCs around the area. Though you can't date all of these characters, there's an easy way to tell which character is single. The characters available for romance will have a special portrait beside the dialogue whenever you talk to them.

Once you talk to everyone around the village, you'll be able to decide which character sparks your interest the most, and you can start your journey to get close to them. In the relationship tab of the main menu, you'll be able to see the number of hearts you have with a certain character.

The characters only appear in this tab after you talk to them for the first time.

Different festivals are a great way to talk to every character since even the characters from other regions are present in Sun Haven.

There are plenty of ways to increase the number of hearts you can get on each character quickly:

Talk To Them Everyday

Every character in Sun Haven has a particular schedule that they follow during the day. These schedules can be different based on the season, day, and weather. You have to find the character you want to date and spark a conversation with them every day. You'll see some options other than giving a gift and leaving.

Select these options to know more about the character, which already brings you closer to them. At the end of some of these conversations, you'll have a chance to select between two options. The option you select can determine your closeness with the character:

  • You'll gain about half a heart if you select the correct option.
  • On the other hand, you'll lose a bit of heart if you select the option they dislike.

In most cases, the correct option that increases your heart is very obvious, as shown in the picture above. You'll know the correct option even without reading what the character says. You can also get a choice in options sometimes that don't affect your hearts with the character whatsoever.

Give Characters Gifts Everyday

As mentioned above, you'll see an option to give each romanceable character a gift every day. You can only give one gift to them each day, so choose wisely. Each character has a wide variety of gifts that they love, like, or dislike. Some neutral gifts don't make the character feel any particular way.

If you give them a gift that they love or like, you'll be able to get closer to the character. On the other hand, a gift that the character dislikes will decrease your hearts significantly. Neutral gifts will increase a character's heart slightly, but it's still better than not giving them a gift whatsoever.

Complete Character-Specific Quests

As you progress through the game, many special quests will be unlocked that can be started by talking to the character. Whenever this is the case, you'll see a yellow exclamation point on the character's head when you find them or look at them on the map. Finishing these quests can increase the number of hearts.

Moreover, some special quests get updated on the Bulletin Board every day. If any of these quests belong to a character you want to date, you can finish them to get some heart. Apart from that, there are also some special events like finding a Catnip and giving it to Kitty to get close to her.

How To Marry A Character

When you look at your hearts with a certain character in the relationship tab, you'll be able to see four rows of five hearts each. At the start, the third and fourth rows will be locked for each character. You can go on dates after reaching a certain amount of hearts with a character. Most characters ask you for the first date at around six hearts.

Dates are the perfect opportunity to get extra hearts with the character since you get a ton of choice-based dialogues.

Make sure you pay attention to what the character is saying and choose the correct option to get a ton of hearts.

On the second date, the character will drop a hint asking if you want to date them. This is going to be difficult to understand, but choosing the correct option will lead to them asking you out. Though all hope is not lost even if you select the wrong option that leads to the end of the date.

When you talk to the character for the next time, you'll be able to see the heart symbol beside their dialogue, as shown above. Clicking on this will proc a dialogue where you'll ask them out. A character will only agree to date you if you have ten hearts with them. As you start officially dating, the third row of hearts will unlock.

This brings the total number of hearts you can get with the character to 15. The character will also have special lines for you since you'll be dating now. After this, you can continue to get hearts with them until you reach 15. When that happens, head over to Bernard in the town hall and purchase an Engagement Ring.

Even after reaching 15 hearts, you might come across a scenario where the last heart for the character is white. You won't be able to get hearts anymore even if you give them their favorite gifts. This means that you're close to the character but all their dialogue sequence hasn't ended yet.

There's a set amount of dialogue that you need to have with the character before you can marry them. Keep talking to them every day and this white heart will eventually go away, giving you a chance to propose to them.

Unlike other games, the character won't be staying at your home after marriage in Sun Haven. They'll continue to stay at their own home, but you can visit them at any hour. You can also sleep in their bed and you'll wake up there the next morning.

Can You Date Multiple Characters

If you have more than one character who has sparked your interest in Sun Haven, you don't have to worry. The game allows you to date as many characters as you want. This means that you can unlock the third row of hearts for each candidate and get 15 hearts on them.

On the other hand, you can only marry one character at a time. If you want to change the character you're married to, you'll have to apply for divorce and propose to the other character afterward. Being able to date multiple people gives you a chance to select the character you resonate with the most.
