Mary (マリヴィア, Marivia) is an aspiring writer who visits Forget-Me-Not Valley on her days off.

Lumina adds the Player's farm has been around for a long time, which piques Mary's interest. She asks the Player what the specialty is on his farm. If the player selects Animals, Mary is happy to hear she can visit sometime to try the milk from your cows. Crops is the preferred answer, when the Player finds Mary's family has worked with plants for generations and she's happy to hear she can visit to see your plants.

If you say Sure, she asks for your help to carry it to the Villa and then thanks you profusely for all the help today.
