Dan is one of the marriage candidates in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody.

Basic Information

Dan is a new character debuting in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. He is a happy-go-lucky drifter who likes drinking, gambling, and flirting. As a matter of fact, gambling is what lands him in the village, after he loses all his money from bets on the horse race.

After his gambling loss, Dan will be stuck in the village with no real place to stay. Planting any kind of fruit bearing tree will later trigger a scene with Ronald, which will lead to to the opening on the Paradise Orchard where Dan will work.

In-Game Description

A young man who came from the south.

He lives to have fun.

Personality

Fun-loving and a little crude, Dan ends up stuck in the village due to a gambling debt. Regardless of these circumstances, he still takes a degree of pleasure in drinking, gambling, and flirting. If the player gets to know him, he reveals that he has a burning desire to better himself as a person, and shows strong determination in doing so.

Appearance

Dan has an exotic appearance, with tanned skin and dark hair, reflecting his foreign origins. He wears showy yet somewhat practical clothes; a leather vest over a white shirt, jeans, and boots. He also has coins sewn onto his red belt, probably hinting to his love of gambling. A tattoo is on his left arm, and he has a small satchel around his waist. His accessories comprise of a red headband, a few bracelets on each hand, and a chain.

Festivals

New Year Festival: Spring 1

Egg Festival: Spring 8

"I don't like sweet things, so it doesn't matter. But watching girls eat cake sure is cute!"

Star Festival: Summer 7

Leave your house and Dan will be outside your door (but only if he's the one who likes you the most out of all the guys). The following conversation takes place:

Firefly Festival: Summer 15

"I've come an awfully long way, but I wonder if Grandma and Grandpa will watch over this.

Perhaps they won't watch until I do better."

Fireworks: Summer 24th

You can go about your usual daily routine before heading to Moonlight Beach. When you do head over, talk to everybody present in order to instigate the scene. Dan will walk over to stand beside you before the fireworks start (but only if he's the one who likes you the most out of all the guys), and will silently watch the fireworks with you until the festival ends.

Moon Festival: Fall 9th

"You seem even more beautiful than usual in the moonlight.

I can't help but feel dazzled by your beauty!"

Harvest Festival: Fall 24

"I wish we have more festivals like this one, don't you agree?

And I must be grateful to Ronald as well, he hired a vagabond like me, so thanks!"

Pumpkin Festival: Fall 30

"I don't really like pumpkin very much, It seems like girls all like it, though.

Potatoes, chestnuts and pumpkins!"

Chicken Festival: Winter 7

"You can't predict and bet on the winning chicken?'

How boring."

Thanksgiving Festival: Winter 12

While giving Dan some cake: "It's very nice of you to go to great pains to bake a cake to give it to me. I could never bake a cake by myself."

While receiving cake from him: "Handcooked is impossible, so it's ready-made.

But please have some!"

Gift Events

• 2-Heart Gift: Apple Soda

"Hello!

I tried making my own apple soda.

I think it's pretty good for the first try.

I wanted you to be the first to taste, so please try some.

Okay, bye!"

• 5-Heart Gift: Grape Soda

"Hello!

Good morning.

It's only morning, but I made some nice, special soda.

Please drink some♥

I think it's still far to heaven's door* but I feel like I'm one step closer.

It's thanks to my honey that I'm motivated!

Okay, bye!"

* This line is awkward, because it was improperly translated/localized. The "heaven's door" that Dan mentions is actually "Heaven's Door", a famous wine in the Harvest Moon-verse. "Soda" is wine in the original Japanese game; Dan here compares his own grape wine to the famous Heaven's Door grape wine.

Musical Note

Dan provides you with the 95th musical note, "Master Pick-Up Artist", when he brings you a gift for building his friendship level up to 2 hearts.

Note Description:

He has a love of gambling and girls, but when the time comes, can he quit? A hot-blooded guy from the sea.
