- Birthday: Winter 6
- Family: Saibara (Grandpa)
- Interested in: Mary
Gray is one of the characters in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. He’s a blacksmith and the grandson of Saibara.
Gray works really hard under his grandfather’s guidance, though he often gets frustrated with how strict and harsh Saibara can be.
Deep down, he just wants to prove himself and make his grandfather proud. Even though they argue a lot, they’re actually more alike than they realize.
Gray can come off as moody sometimes, and a little shy too. At first, he didn’t really enjoy living in the countryside because he’s from the city, but over time, he becomes more determined to improve his skills as a blacksmith.
When he’s not working, you’ll usually find him reading at the library. He eventually develops feelings for Mary, and if you don’t pursue her, they’ll end up getting married.

Rival Events
These scenes show the growing relationship between Gray and Mary. If you don’t marry Mary by the last event, she will eventually marry Gray one week after the final scene.
Event 1

- Year: 1
- Date: Spring 2
- Time: 1:00 PM
- Location: Rose Square
You’ll find Mary asking Gray why he always hangs around the plaza and what he’s doing there. Gray doesn’t respond at first.
Mary then asks if he’s Saibara’s grandson and if he works at the blacksmith. Gray says he’s not really interested in being a blacksmith and actually wants to return to the city.
Mary relates to his story and says her family also moved from the city because her father wanted to study plants. Gray says he’s unsure of what he wants to do in the village.
Before leaving, Mary encourages Gray to try different things to help him figure out what he truly wants.
Event 2

- Year: 1
- Date: Spring 6
- Time: 5:30 PM
- Location: Library
Gray and Mary talk about a book Gray has partially read and plans to borrow. Gray mentions he’s starting to like the village more, and Mary is happy to hear that.
She offers to show him more interesting books next time. Gray thanks her, and before leaving, Mary asks if he’ll visit again. Gray responds with a simple, “I will.”
Event 3

- Year: 2
- Season: Spring
- Time: 10:00 AM
- Location: Blacksmith
Mary walks into the Blacksmith and finds Gray with a burn. She worries, but Saibara says it’s just a minor burn caused by Gray’s carelessness.
Gray says he’s fine. Mary apologizes, saying she panicked and didn’t know how to help. Gray replies that she did help—she motivated him to keep going.
Saibara then returns and gives Gray some medicine for his burn.
Event 4

- Year: 2
- Date: Spring 9
- Time: 2:00 PM
- Location: Library
Mary and Gray are talking about a book Mary has written. She asks for his opinion, and Gray tells her it’s even better than his father’s books.
Mary admits she was nervous because no one else has ever read it. Gray encourages her to share it with others, saying it’s important for a writer to be seen.
Mary modestly says it’s not very good, and as Gray returns the book, she asks what’s wrong. Gray replies that his praise didn’t seem to build her confidence, so he might as well leave.
Mary stops him and says his praise means more to her than anyone else’s. Gray smiles and says it was special for him to read it.
Event 5
- Year: 3
- Date: Spring 3
- Time: 2:10 PM
- Location: Library
Gray happily tells Mary that he has been promoted to a full-fledged blacksmith. He says the only thing left now… is to propose to her.
Note: This event triggers their wedding 7 days later, as long as you haven’t married Mary yourself.
