Soleil is a character only available in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition. They will always be the gender opposite of the player, so they may be courted by both the male and female protagonist.
They're a Gem Sprite whose origin is shrouded in mystery and is unfamiliar with the world outside of the dark caverns. The player finds a mysterious crystal in the mine and decided to take it home. After several days, Soleil will be 'born' from the crystal as an infant sprite. They are unable to speak properly and is basically a child, exhibiting a small sprite-like body. As they get older, Soleil will be able to briefly hold an adult body, as seen in some events. But, if the player manages to develop a relationship with Soleil, they will take on the form of a normal human and may be married.
Soleil will guide players through the new co-op play feature. A second player will be able to control the character and help out on the farm using Gem Sprite magic. Soleil can grow crops, tend livestock, and gather materials.

Co-op Play Feature[]
Once Soleil has their name, you are able to use the action button on the Magentocrystal inside of your farm house. You may use no gems, giving the gem sprite a default stamina of 2 hearts, for Soleil's manual assistance for the day. Once the hearts are exhausted, Soleil will disappear and you will not be able to use them again until you wake up the next day. You can get more stamina by trading in a gem for Soleil to be played longer. Once an option is picked, no gem or gem, you will not be able to refill Soleil's stamina meter like you would your farmer's stamina.
