Anissa (Harvest Moon: Animal Parade)

About
Anissa lives in the Flute Fields area of Castanet Island. She lives with her mother, father, and little brother at Marimba Farm. She helps her family run the store and tend the fields. The island's doctor, Jin, is the rival for Anissa.

Anissa is a calm, mature person who enjoys the more soothing aspects of life, such as the fragrances of flowers and overcast days. However, she is frightened by thunderstorms and typhoons. She will often speak very formally, even with people she knows very well. She also cares deeply for the land, as well as for the health and well-being of all people. She is studying how to prepare medicines, hoping that she can someday help people who are sick or injured. When the soil of Castanet became poor, she left the island to find seeds that would grow and help to revitalize the earth.

The player meets Anissa after ringing the Yellow Bell and visiting Marimba Farm.

Marriage
To marry Anissa, the player must have a heart level of at least nine with her, see all four of her heart events, and receive her love letter. This can be accomplished by talking to Anissa every day, and by giving her gifts such as teas or Lavender flowers. Once Anissa reaches nine hearts, Mira will visit the player's farm in the morning and say that she saw a blue bird fly over Garmon Mountain. The player must visit the top of the mountain between 17:00 and 19:00 to receive a Blue Feather. After upgrading the house to the second level extension, the player may propose to Anissa with the feather at any time.

After marrying Anissa, the player is given a Honeymoon Ticket. Anissa will now make the player a lunch every morning, and is available to help out with chores around the farm and go for walks with the player. The player may also view the Summer Festival Fireworks and the New Year's Eve countdown with Anissa.
