You’ll meet twelve people in Moonfrost’s Village and the places around it. Walter and Ash teach you the basics, Alba puts you to work rebuilding the Village, and most of the others need help restoring a shop, the Pub or a home. Everyone keeps a daily schedule, reacts to gifts, and has a friendship level you raise by chatting, giving gifts and finishing their friendship quest. Most of what you unlock comes from their tasks too, so it pays to know who wants what.
Who’s Who
Each card shows the maps where you’ll find the character and what they do in the story.
WalterRuns Lemmon's, the Village store, and teaches you farming and cooking.
AshTeaches you your first tools and Build Mode, runs your FHA Exams and later opens the Beauty Salon.
AlbaThe FHA Big Shot who has you rebuild the Village, starting with the Village Square.
RonenThe stranger fishing in the Mountain lakes. He gives you your Fishing Rod and later reopens the Pub.
GeraldOwns Drift Furniture, the Village furniture store you help him repair.
MikeyGerald's son, who moves into the Neighbourhood with him.
CelesteA mystical Frost Hunter who opens a Magic Shop in the Village.
CrowTalks to you as the Scarecrow at the Cemetery and wants his human form back.
JackWaits at the entrance of the Olunari Temple on the Mountain.
KyungOne of the siblings Alba asks you to build a home for.
AvaOne of the siblings Alba asks you to build a home for.
SabrinaRuns the Red Thread, the Village boutique you help her restore.
Mikey and Kyung never ask you to hand anything over, but each has a friendship quest. Mikey moves in once Gerald’s house is built (step 5 of A Home for Gerald), and Kyung and Ava turn up with A Home For the Siblings.
Where to Find Everyone
Everyone runs on the clock. Each character works down a list of places and goes to the first one that fits the time and how far you are in the story, and when the clock passes the next time on their list they walk over to the next place. The tables use the in-game clock, rounded to five minutes.
- Places are areas. The Pub, the Village Square or “around the Neighbourhood” cover a whole area, and the character drifts between free spots inside it, so look around the whole place.
- The story comes first. While a quest needs someone somewhere else, that spot replaces the daily schedule. The second table under each character lists these spots in order; when two rows overlap, the higher one wins.
- Out of sight means you can’t meet them anywhere at that time.
Once you reopen the Pub in The Frosty Moon, the evening crowd moves there: Walter, Ash, Gerald, Celeste, Ava and Sabrina all spend part of their evening inside.

Friendship and Gifts
How Friendship Works
Talking to a character opens a small menu: Chat, Gift, and a button for each quest task of theirs that’s waiting on you. A quest button stays greyed out until you carry everything the task asks for, and a few talk tasks also want you on a particular map, which the button names.
Friendship is counted in points, and every character uses the same values:
| What you do | Friendship points |
|---|---|
| Chat (once a day) | +10 |
| Give a loved gift | +120 |
| Give a liked gift | +60 |
| Give a neutral gift (anything not on their lists) | +20 |
| Give a disliked gift | −20 |
| Give a hated gift | −60 |
| A day with no chat | −3 |
- Chat every day. Chatting pays 10 points at most once a day, and a day with no chat at all costs every character 3 points.
- You can’t lose a level. Points never drop below the start of the current level.
- Overflow is lost. Points past a level’s total don’t carry over, and the bar starts from zero at each new level.
- Contacts. A character’s Contacts card opens once you’ve been introduced, with their friendship and the gift reactions you’ve found so far. Sabrina’s and Jack’s cards stay locked: the game never marks either of them as introduced.
Friendship Levels and Quests
Every character uses the same ladder, and in the current version friendship tops out at level 3 (level 2 for Jack):
- Level 1 to 2: fill 200 points and the level-up happens on its own.
- Level 2 to 3: fill 250 points. A full bar opens that character’s friendship quest, and finishing the quest lifts them to level 3.
- Level 3: the bar holds 300 points, but no quest takes anyone further yet. Once it’s full, they stop accepting gifts.
Jack has no friendship quest and stays at level 2. A friendship quest only runs while that character’s points are full, so keep chatting every day while you work on it: a day without a chat drops them below full and pauses the quest until you top them up with a chat or a gift.
Also needs is what the quest waits for on top of a full bar at level 2. The Quests guide walks through each one.
| Character | Friendship quest | Also needs | What it asks for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walter | Graffiti Session | After finishing Fixing Lemmon’s | Visit Walter at his Store (it never shows in your Task Log) |
| Ash | A Picnic with Ash | Nothing else | 1 Rhubarb Pie, 2 Veggie Salad |
| Alba | Drinks with the Boss | After step 2 of A Home For the Siblings | Nothing to hand in |
| Ronen | Fishing Trip | Nothing else | Nothing to hand in |
| Gerald | Gerald’s Attic | After finishing Drifting Away | 1 Birchwood Industrial Long Shelf |
| Mikey | Treasure Hunt | Nothing else | Nothing to hand in |
| Celeste | Charmed | After finishing A Magical Mess | 3 Protection Charm |
| Crow | Free Samples | Nothing else | Nothing to hand in |
| Kyung | Friendly Competition | Nothing else | 15 White Dahlia |
| Ava | A Beautiful Neighbourhood | After finishing A Home For the Siblings | 2 Backless Bench, 10 Hibiscus (Violet), 10 Hibiscus (White) |
| Sabrina | A Simple Dress | After finishing The Red Thread | 2 Red Fabric, 2 Purple Fabric, 1 Yellow Fabric, 10 Copper Ore, 5 Quartz; then wait 2 days |
Sabrina’s quest, A Simple Dress, and Housemates both start after you finish The Red Thread. That quest’s two Boutique clean-ups include 60 weeds (20 outside, 40 inside) that only give way to a Silver or Gold Scythe, and nothing in the current version unlocks either scythe.
Gift Rules
- You can give each character one gift a day and two a week. The weekly count resets when a new in-game week starts.
- Each gift uses one item from your bag or your build inventory. Furniture only shows up if it can be given, and workstations can’t.
- Characters refuse gifts while the points for their current level are full.
- An item’s reaction (loved, liked and so on) only shows for that character after you’ve given it to them once.
- Anything that isn’t on a character’s lists counts as Neutral and still earns 20 points. Only disliked and hated items cost you.
Loved gifts are the fastest way up. Two of them in one week take a character from level 1 to level 2, although the 40 points over 200 are lost.

Walter asks for the most, 22 hand-ins, and most of them are food, so the Cooking guide and a well-stocked farm cover a lot of them. Gerald comes next with 17, mostly building materials and furniture for the shops you restore with him (the Village Rebuilding guide covers the projects).
What They Ask For

Gerald’s repair jobs keep asking for Nightveil Tonics: nine of them across six requests. Crow’s tasks unlock the recipe, so start brewing once you have it.
What They Unlock
Finishing a character’s talk tasks unlocks new recipes. Tools are new tools to craft, Seeds and cooking covers seeds, dishes and the store-bought ingredients, Other covers workstations, building materials and potions, and Decorations counts the furniture recipes they unlock; the Furniture guide shows each one.

Walter unlocks all ten seeds and sixteen cooking recipes, so his quests are the ones to follow if you want to grow and cook everything. Ash gives you your Stone tools and the Copper Axe, plus the Chopper, Furnace, Loom, Dye Station and Processor for refining what you gather. Silver and Gold tools come from blueprints instead; the Tools guide has them.
