• Birthday: Winter 20 (Alt: Winter 25)
• Family: Basil (Father), Anna (Mother)
• Rival: Gray

Mary is one of the marriage candidates in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. She’s the daughter of Basil and Anna.

Mary is a quiet and shy girl who works at the Library. She loves books and often says they’re “calm and comforting.”

She spends most of her time taking care of the Library, except on Mondays when it’s closed.

Her father, Basil, is a botanist—many of the books in the Library were written by him. He’s always happy when people come to read his work.

As Mary’s affection for you grows, she’ll slowly open up and become more talkative around you.

Gray often visits the Library to read, and he’ll be your rival if you decide to pursue Mary.
