This article is about Owen, a character from Animal Parade. You may be looking for Owen from Tree of Tranquility or Owen, a character from My Little Shop.

Owen (オセ Ose?) is a character in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. He is one of the eligible bachelors to court.

Owen is the hard working apprentice blacksmith working under his grandfather Ramsey at his shop in the Garmon Mines District. He's built strength from digging for ores, and loves to lift weights when he's not at the Garmon Mines.[1] He's protective of his cousin Chloe, and has a big heart with a soft and caring attitude. Although he enjoys the outdoors, Owen also likes to relax by going to the Brass Bar in the evenings.

No main story line parts have to be completed to unlock Owen, but you still have to find him. While searching for Alan's bell frame, go to the 10th floor of the Lower Garmon Mine. Owen will be trying to clear the rock by hitting it with his hammer. Here you will be introduced to him, and he will return to the Blacksmith's. After this point, Owen is much easier to find if you wish to talk to him and he will also give your character a hammer.[2]

Unlike Tree of Tranquility, Owen does have a rival. As a female, you will rival Kathy for Owen's affection.

Story[]

Spoiler warning: The following may contain important story spoilers.

Owen has a very minor role in the main storyline. If you travel to the 10th floor of the Lower Garmon Mine your first time, you'll meet Owen. He's trying to smash the large rock that is in the way of the Red Bell frame!

If you leave and go to speak to the Harvest Goddess, you need to return to the mine. At this point you will be able to examine the bell frame (although you're still missing the bell). Owen smashes the large boulder that was in your way of getting to the bell frame.

Your spouse will now live with you permanently. The wedding ring is now available through wardrobe/dresser, and it is your choice to wear it or not.


Married Life

Your spouse will make you a lunch every morning. Depending on how many hearts they have, the quality of the lunch will change. Your spouse can also help you with chores around your farm, which include fishing, mining, watering, harvesting, picking weeds, milking, brushing, and egg/silk collecting. Your spouse's personality depends on what chores they'll be better at.[5] You must select a chore to do in between 6 and 7am, or else your spouse will go out on their own during the day.

You can take your spouse for a walk. This is a way to spend time with your spouse, and their heart points will increase from it.

Child[]

Main article: Your Children (AP)

Personality

If you've married Owen, your children have three personality possibilities: Fiery, Scholarly, or Romantic. The Quiet personality is not available.[7] Your child's personality will change dialogue, as well as what chores they specialize in.


Appearance

Owen's children will always have hair that is colored auburn and grayish blue eyes. Your children will look like spouse, but with a darker hair color.[8] They will also inherit some of your spouse' personality, but the player can choose their personality with a variety of different choices offered at each stage of their growth.

Rival Events[]

Your rival if you want to marry Owen will be Kathy. If the two marry, you'll be able to see their child Roy in your game. You must trigger all of the rival events between the two for them to get married.

Playing as a male, the player must befriend Owen to a matching heart level to see these events. Similarly, if the player is female, you need to befriend Kathy. Kathy is available from the start of game, though Owen must be unlocked by going to the 10th floor of Garmon Mine.


4 Heart Rival Event

Owen or Kathy must be at 4 hearts to see this event (depending on what gender), and it takes place at Horn Ranch in between 10am and 8pm on a day with good weather.

You'll see Kathy and Owen, who have just finished a horse race. Owen is happy that he won, and asks Kathy if she's going to live up to the bet she made. Because he won, Kathy promised to give him a kiss! Nervously, she tells him to close his eyes. Kathy can't see where she's going, and Owen is way too far away. Owen laughs at her, and Kathy becomes upset and runs away.

Owen begins to feel sad, wondering if his teasing was too much for Kathy.


5 Heart Rival Event

If you're playing as a female, Kathy will come to your house at 5 hearts. She confides in you about her crush on Owen. Because the two of you are friends, she asks for your advice. If you encourage her, Kathy will be relieved, and you are able to see the couple's last rival event. If the second option is chosen, it means you want to marry Owen yourself, which makes Kathy unhappy for supposedly discouraging her.

The same event happens if the player is a male. Instead, you must befriend Owen to 5 hearts and he will come to your house asking about Kathy. The same options and scenario will play out. Make your decision based on what outcome you're going for.


Proposal (7 Heart Event)

For the last event, you must have watched all of the previous events. Kathy (if playing as a female) must be at 7 hearts, and if you're playing as a male, Owen must be at 7 hearts. Wait for the Brass Bar to open, and walk in between 4pm and 8pm to see the wedding proposal.

While Owen is relaxing at the bar, Kathy asks him why he won't go home. He must have work to do! Rather than answering her, Owen asks Kathy to be his wife! Kathy is unexpected, but says that the idea doesn't bother her. Hayden joins the conversation, and says it doesn't bother him either! Even though Kathy is worried about what might happen if she gets married, she accepts Owen's proposal.


Wedding

Two weeks after the 7 heart event, Owen and Kathy will have their wedding ceremony. You will get a letter in your mailbox (regardless of which gender you are) from Owen and Kathy asking if you will attend their wedding. The date will be on the invitation, as well as the time. Wedding ceremonies are always at 10am.[9]

On the scheduled wedding date, walk into Celesta Church to see Kathy and Owen's wedding. It is very similar to your own wedding. Kathy and Owen's family and friends will be attending. You will take your seat and watch the ceremony. All you do is sit back and watch as a guest of their wedding. After the event is over, you will be transported outside of the Church.


After Rival Wedding

Roy

After Owen and Kathy get married, Kathy will move into the Blacksmith's house in Garmon Mines.[10] She will still continue to work at the Brass Bar. On her days off, she will spend her time in Garmon Mine, or can be found at the Blacksmith's during the day. Owen will continue to spend time in the mines and in Garmon Mine District. 

Two weeks after their wedding ceremony, Owen and Kathy will send a letter regarding the birth of their new baby boy named Roy. Visit Kathy and Owen Roy at the blacksmith's to meet their new baby. Roy will not appear in game if Kathy and Owen do not get married.

Other Events[]

Ancient Ruins

It is necessary to befriend Calvin, Owen, and Luke to 3 hearts before being able to see this event. Venture to the 20th floor of the lower Garmon Mine to view the event.[11]

After finding a dead end at the bottom of the mine, Owen and Luke want to crush the wall with their hammers. They're hoping to find a new place to explore. Just as they're about to smash the wall, Calvin intervenes and is appalled that they would destroy a piece of history! Calvin says that there's writing on the wall thousands of years old, and that the writing could teach a lesson to others. Owen and Luke still insist on breaking the wall down, while Calvin argues against it.

Eventually, the three compromise to go talk to the Mayor. They cannot reach a decision on their own, and hopefully City Hall can come to a decision as to what to do with the space instead!
