Dan (ダン Dan in the Japanese version) is one of the marriage candidates in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. He is an exclusive character to Magical Melody.
He is a happy-go-lucky drifter who likes drinking, gambling, and flirting. Gambling is what lands him in the village, after he loses all his money from betting on a horse race against Ronald.
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.
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.
Locations
- Inside the Paradise Orchard shop
- At the Village Square
- Near the path that leads out of the village (near Hearty♥Lyla)
- At the beach
- Near the Blue Sky Ranch
Moving Out
After Dan starts to work at the Orchid with Ronald, he may move back out of the village for a temporary amount of time. If Ronald moves out, Dan will move out shortly afterwards and the Orchid will be closed.
In order for Dan to return, the player will need to ship fruit. Plant fruit trees around town and forage wild fruit that appears in Summer and Fall.
