Neil (ニール, Nīru^? lit. Neil) is a returning marriage candidate in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town.

When Dunhill decided to leave Echo Town and travel, he invited Neil to accompany him. Although initially apprehensive, Neil eventually decided to accompany Dunhill so that he wouldn't be travelling alone. The two eventually. found themselves at Windswept Falls. He lives in his own house with a chicken coop attached.

Neil owned an animal shop in his previous town but has closed it temporarily in his absence. He often writes to his friend Rod who is taking care of his animals while he is away.
