This article is about Ann a character from Back To Nature. You may be looking for Ann in her other appearances throughout the series.

Ann (ラン, Ran^?) is an eligible bachelorette in Harvest Moon: Back To Nature.

She is a bit of a tomboy, which her father Doug accredits to the loss of her mother at a young age. She enjoys cooking above all else, and also loves to eat. She helps her father by cooking and cleaning at the Inn. She's very naive when it comes to love, and is sometimes surprised at her own feelings.

Ann has taken a liking to Cliff, a young man who has drifted into town. If you ask Cliff to work at the Winery, he will be your rival for Ann.

She is lively and friendly, but she tends to like prepared and cooked meals rather than traditional gifts the player may offer, making her quite difficult to woo.

Effects: +2000 for Ann and +30 for Doug if you say that she's cute.

---

Ann's Question

Effects: +2000 if you say "Yes I can," -2000 if you say "No, you're right."

---

Ann's Wheeling and Dealing

Trigger: Have 3 grown-up chickens in your chicken coop.

Effects: -1000 affection with Ann for either answer; +1000 affection with Ann if you show up with the eggs (first day only). If you give her the eggs, you'll get 450G; if you don't give them to her, she'll tell you to come back with some eggs by 5pm.

If you fail to deliver eggs on any non-festival day during the time that she's asking for eggs, the event will stop and you won't be able to give her eggs; +1000 affection with Ann after 7 days of bringing her eggs; festivals aren't considered egg delivering days, so if one takes place during the time she asks you to deliver eggs, don't worry.

Walk up to the second floor of the inn and you will see Ann delivering lunch to Cliff on the house because he didn't order anything, Ann will then ask why he has been staying at the inn for so long, cliff will say what and Ann will apologize saying she wasn't supposed to ask that and then leave.

---

Inquisitive Ann

Trigger: Visit the Inn. 14th Fall, Year 2, 4.00pm

Ann will ask Cliff how long is he going to stay to which Cliff responds he doesn't know. Ann then suggests he stay forever but quickly changes it saying of course you can't stay forever someone must be waiting for you, Cliff then responds by saying that there is no one waiting for him anymore, Ann apologizes and suggests again Cliff stay, Cliff then says he doesn't know if he can stay and be happy alone he then walks away from Ann.

---

A snack for Cliff

Trigger: Visit the Vineyard. 18th Fall, Year 2, 2.00pm

Ann brings Cliff a snack saying her dad always wants him fed, Cliff thanks Ann and is happy to see her saying they can't talk at the inn, Ann then says she must be boring to talk to, Cliff then says she's not boring and that he loves talking to her; Ann freaks out and says she needs to go home and leaves.

---

Doug has a chat with Cliff

Trigger: Visit the Inn and go to second floor. 12th Spring, Year 3, 11.30am

This final event will trigger Ann and Cliff's wedding 7 days later. Doug asks Cliff something about staying in the village forever and Cliff responds favorably - Doug (rightfully) interprets this as Cliffs interest in Ann.

Marriage & Pregnancy

To marry Ann, the player must raise her heart level to pink, witness all required heart events, and upgrade the farmhouse twice (with a kitchen and a baby bed/crib).

After marriage, Ann will become pregnant approximately 32 days after the wedding. The child will be born 58 days after pregnancy is announced.

Trivia

• Ann has a special event where she relaxes on Mother's Hill, which can be triggered under certain conditions.
• Her favorite quick affection booster is Spa-Boiled Egg, which she loves.
• If Cliff is not invited to help at the Winery in Fall of Year 1, he will leave town—and Ann will not marry him as a rival.
• You must experience all rival heart events for Ann and Cliff before Year 3, otherwise Ann will not marry Cliff (provided all other requirements are met).
• Giving Ann a present on her birthday (Summer 17, or Summer 22 in some versions) provides a large affection bonus.
• Her heart color progression follows the standard system: Black, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and finally Pink (marriage level). Each color level unlocks unique dialogue and events.
