Elliot (Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness)

Elliot (エリク, Eriku) is one of the people who is shipwrecked on the island with you. He's very polite but a little cowardly. It bothers him a little that he's weaker than Natalie.

" Constantly mocked by his younger sister, he spends his time finding new ways to build his confidence. "

Unfortunately, while he's busy complaining about his sister, Natalie returns home. Natalie asks what you're talking about. Elliot nervously welcomes her home. Natalie again asks what you two were talking about. Elliot quickly says that you were talking about work, nothing else! Agree with him (う、うん) and Natalie will believe you and leave for the kitchen.

Event 1: Lending a Hand

 * Japanese: (動物屋のお手伝い)
 * To Trigger: Enter Mirabelle's shop, early morning. Sunny or cloudy day. Day of the week doesn't seem to matter (probably?) You must have a decent friendship (1~2 FP) with one of them (the one who is not available to your character.)
 * Description: Elliot comes to Mirabelle's shop to help Julia put some things in order. Julia insists that she can do the work herself. But Elliot won't give up and tells her that he'll always be there for her when she needs help. He's a guy, after all, and should do the work that requires strength. Mirabelle tells Julia that she ought to allow Elliot to help, and she finally gives in. Julia formally asks Elliot for his help, which causes him to blush.

Event 2: Julia's Thanks

 * Japanese: (ジュリアのお礼)
 * To Trigger: Enter Taro's house in the evening during Year 2 or beyond. Sunny or cloudy day. You must have a decent friendship (2~3 FP) with one of them (the one not available to your character) and the one who is available to you must not be above a blue heart.
 * Description: Julia has brought a dish of some sort for Elliot's family, as a gesture of thanks for the work Elliot has done at the livestock shop. Elliot thanks her, but then apologizes for what happened the other day. Natalie immediately wants to know what Elliot did wrong. Julia explains that Elliot fell and scattered around the contents of a box they were packing. Natalie says that Elliot does stuff like that a lot. Is that really helping? Julia says that actually was a help. It was hard to pick up everything, but in doing so, they realized that they were shortchanging their customer. They hadn't quite filled the order! So they were able to fix that. Natalie can't believe that Elliot's clumsiness actually was useful for once! With something that bizarre happening, does that mean there will be an earthquake or something tomorrow? Elliot doesn't think Natalie's little joke is funny. But Julia chuckles and tells Elliot that she's grateful for his help, and Elliot blushes and tells Julia he's glad to know that.

Event 3: Julia and Elliot

 * Japanese: (ここから・・・)
 * To Trigger: Enter town ward 1 from ward 2 during Year 3 or beyond. Sunny or cloudy day, and both Elliot and Julia must be outside. You must have a decent friendship (4~5+ FP) with one of them (the one not available to your character) and the one who is available to you must not be above a green or yellow heart.
 * Description: Elliot tells Julia that when they first came to the island, he was worried about whether or not they'd be able to pull through. He's glad to see that things have gone so well. Julia agrees and says it's good that they've been able to help out each other. If the livestock shop had been up to just her and her mother, things wouldn't have gone so well... Elliot turns to her and comments that it's very unlike her to worry. Julia admits that she worries all the time, she just does her best not to show it. Elliot assures her that he's very thankful that she came to the island. He doesn't know what he'd do if he didn't have her there backing him! Julia blushes and tells him not to praise her so much, but then admits that she's happy to hear that.

Event 4: A Surprising Proposal

 * Japanese:(突然のお話)
 * To Trigger: Enter Mirabelle's shop in the early morning on a sunny day during Year 4 or beyond. You must have a decent friendship (5~6+ FP) with one of them (the one not available to your character) and the one who is available to you must not be above an orange heart. However, if you're already married, then the heart level doesn't matter.
 * Description: Elliot is trying to muster up the courage to ask Julia something, but he just can't get it out. Julia, slightly annoyed by Elliot's constant "umms" and "uhhs," asks him what's wrong. Elliot still can't answer, so she asks if he needs help with shipping today? Julia isn't so busy, so she can help if necessary. Elliot manages to tell her that's not what's wrong. So Julia asks again why Elliot is acting so strange today. Elliot finally manages to blurt out a marriage proposal! Julia is shocked, and now it's her turn to stutter. Elliot thinks he's offended her, so he quickly apologizes. She can find someone better than him, anyway... But Julia says that's not the reason she can't answer right now. She's just not certain what to say! She's very happy that he proposed to her, but she'll need to think about it a little bit. Elliot says that's fine, and he'll be eagerly awaiting her answer.

Approximately one week after you get this scene (timing depending on festivals and the weather), Elliot and Julia will be married.

 * To Trigger: Enter Mirabelle's shop about a month after Elliot and Julia's wedding.
 * Description: Elliot has called the doctor (Dr. Trent) to come and look at Julia. She hasn't been well lately. Both he and Mirabelle are very worried about her. However, the doctor tells them there's no need for worry. Julia isn't sick. She's pregnant! Elliot and Julia will be parents before too long! However, the doctor tells then that it would probably be a good idea for Julia to go to the clinic in town when she's nearing the time to give birth. Elliot asks Julia if she wants to do that, and Julia agrees that's probably the best thing to do. So the doctor promises to come and pick her up shortly before the baby is due.

You automatically agree and go down to the beach, where Dr. Trent, Julia, Mirabelle, and Felicia are waiting. Julia says her goodbyes and tells Elliot to help out with the shop, then she and the doctor board the ship. Elliot, however, suddenly decides that he wants to go with them, so after getting Felicia and Mirabelle's approval he also runs onto the ship. You won't be able to talk to Elliot or Julia again until they return.

After Marriage Event 3: Elliot & Julia, Back Again!

 * Japanese: (おかえりエリク＆ジュリア)

She seems to take after Elliot. She really likes her father, but Kelly admits that her mother scares her just a little...
