Neil (ニール Nīru? lit. Neil) is a character in Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning. He is one of six eligible bachelors to court.

Neil understands animals a lot better than he does humans, and may come off as a reserved and cold character upon first impression. Deep down, he longs for companionship, and wants more friends to share his passion of animals with. He becomes good friends with Rod, and the two often discuss pets and farm animals.

Neil will move into town on the 9th day of Spring of the first year, and will give the player their first cow. After that, he moves in as a permanent resident. His home's default location is next to Hana's house, and he sets up his animal store called Neil's Animals Mondays through Thursdays from 10am to 6pm in the village plaza.

What about the sick cow? You're not much of businessman (sic)
+3,000 FP with Neil -2,000 FP with Neil

Full transcription below:

Neil: Like I said, it was a mistake to sell it to you!

Customer: Hah! Some shopkeeper you are! I'll never buy animals from you again!

Neil: That's fine by me. I'll never sell animals to someone like you again!

Customer: Gah... what a waste of time this was.

Customer (to [Player]): Hey, out of my way! I'm leaving!

Neil: Oh, it's you. What do you want? This has nothing to do with you. Just leave me alone. Don't make that face! You're acting like I was picking on you. Okay, okay. You win. You'll leave me alone if I tell you about it, right? That guy with the bad attitude who was in here before is a customer of mine. He came to complain about a cow I sold to him. You want to know why? It seems the cow I sold him got sick. He seems to think that I sold him a sickly cow on purpose. I asked him how he's been looking after the cow, and it turns out he's been treating it really badly. So it quickly descended into a fight. Pretty bad of him, right? He's gone now, anyway so everything's okay.

[Player]:

- You're not much of a businessman (Bad answer) -2000 FP

- What about the sick cow? (Good answer) +3000 FP

  • What about the sick cow?

Neil: Huh? What was that? Argh, you're right! I need to give some medicine to the poor thing or it'll be done for! How could I overlook that? Right, if I run, I can still make it!

Neil: Phew, I'm worn out!
What, you're still here?
Huh? You want to know what happened? I took some animal medicine to him, that's what happened. I also gave him advice on how to better look at the cow. It might not make a difference but at least I tried. What're you smiling for, eh? T-Thanks for that, anyway. If you hadn't been here I don't think I'd have given that poor cow a second thought. I was so angry!
Y-You've got work to do, too, right? Go on, get out of here! I'm busy too. See you later.

(You end up in your farmhouse after the Heart Event.)

I just got here I saw you playing with the dog
+3,000 FP with Neil -2,000 FP with Neil

Full transcription below:

Neil is inside his house

Rod: Hello, [Player]. Are you here to see Neil too? I was walking my dog and dropped in to see him on my route. Neil's inside the house. I'm going home to pick up something I forgot. See you later.

[Player] nods and Rod leaves. [Player] has question mark over head as Neil has little hearts over his while talking to a dog

Neil: Hey, you're a cutie, aren't you! Rod's just gone to get something he forgot. Don't worry, we'll wait for him to come back together *more hearts* Hey, wait! Hold on!

Dog walks over to [Player], Neil has an exclamation point and both go "..."

Neil: H-Hey, how long have you been there for? You s-surprised me! *Walks over to [Player]* Fess up, how long have you been standing there? You didn't see...see any of that, did you?

- I just got here (Good response)

- I saw you playing with the dog (Bad response)

  • I just got here

Neil: Good. Forget I said anything. Rod left me here with his dog. Not for too long, just a little while. I've got a lot of other things to do, though! I don't have time for this.

[Player] goes "..." then has a music note

Neil: In fact, I was just about to go and drop his dog off back at Rod's house. Do you want to come along?

[Player] nods

Neil: Let's go then. Come on, doggy. We're not leaving you behind.

Dog barks and it switches to Rod in his house alone

Rod: There it is! Right, I'd better get back to Neil's place.

[Player], Neil, and the dog walk in

Rod: Hey? What are you doing here? I was just about to come back over.

Neil: I'm bringing your dog back. A dog needs a master, after all! I can't do you favors all day long!

Rod: *Exclamation point over his head* What're you talking about? You're the one who said you'd look after my dog while I came back to get this.

Neil: Enough double talk! I've no idea what you're talking about! Here's your dog back. I'm going home! See you later, both of you.

Neil leaves and [Player] and Rod go "..."

Rod: What's up with Neil?

[Player] has music notes and waves around arms

Rod: You saw him playing with my dog? I guess he was embarrassed at getting seen. He must know you saw him and came here to hide his embarrassment. He's got a bit of a sharp tongue so it can be hard to tell, but he's actually a really kind guy.

[Player] nods and Rod has music notes

Rod: I'm glad that he's got someone else who understands him now, anyway. I guess this sounds a little odd coming from me, but I hope you'll be a good friend to Neil.

[Player] nods

  • I saw you playing with the dog

Neil:W-What are you talking about? I don't know what you think you saw, but you didn't!

[Player]:Sweat marks

Neil: You're just another noisy busy-body! It's not like I was doing anything wrong!

[Player]:Exclamation point

Neil and [Player]: ...

Rod enters

Rod: I'm back. Wow, things are a bit heavy in here! What's going on?

Neil: Frustration

Neil: It's nothing. Take your dog and get out of here.

Rod:?

Rod: Neil, is something wrong? What happened?

Neil: Anger

Neil: Nothing! Get out of here, go on!

Neil walks away.

In Rod's house

Rod:...

Rod: Hey... can you tell me what that was all about?

[Player] explains

Rod: I see. Neil obviously didn't want to be seen doing stuff like that. He's very shy, though you probably wouldn't think so to look at him. You should have pretended not to see.

[Player]: ...

Rod: I guess we'll just have to give him some space for a while.

[Player] Nods
