Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility
Anissa Marriage Notes
[Updated 15 Oct 2023]

GENERAL NOTES
- Anissa is one of the easiest candidates to marry. She starts at 99 affection, one of her favorite gifts is available for relatively cheap (the Herbal Tea), and she gains affection when the player does part-time work (PTW) at the Souffle Farm.
- This route aims to finish gifting her as quickly as possible by using the Herbal Tea and the PTW. With these strats, she gains +15 affection for each repetition.
- She can gain a maximum of +10 affection when the player does PTW, but her total affection boost from gifting, conversation, and PTW is capped at +15. For example, if she is given a +6 gift, she will gain +6 from the gift, +5 from the conversation (= +11), and the PTW will only give her +4. On the other hand, if she is not gifted or talked at all, PTW will give her +10 (although this seems to depend on what time of day you started PTW).
- Although she can reach max affection pretty quickly, her 5-heart request is for the player to grow the Snowflake Flower, which can only be grown in Winter. So no matter what, we must sleep until Winter.

TUTORIAL
- Intro order: Town Hall, Gill, On The Hook, Pascal, General Store, Clinic
- Anissa intro: first response (+10), then talk (+5)
- When delivering strawberries, deliver to Yolanda, Anissa, and Jin
- Choose the Hilltop plot
- After obtaining the house, talk once to Anissa before continuing
- If you did the tutorial farming relatively quickly, you should get a little over 300G

SPRING
- The gifting route will skip Saturdays, festival days, and the days before festivals (to avoid Hamilton's reminder cutscenes). This doesn't lose any time since we have to sleep until Winter for the Snowflake Flower anyway.
- Festival dates to avoid: Spring 9+10, Spring 27+28, Summer 6+7, Summer 23+24. You should be finished gifting by the end of Summer.
- Spring 4: Sleep
- Spring 5:
	> Collect the Lapis Lazuli and the Shining Flax Wool
	> Go buy 3 Herbal Teas
	> Gift Anissa the HT
	> Ship both the Lapis Lazuli and the Shining Flax Wool
- Spring 6: Talk+PTW
- Spring 7: Sleep
- Spring 8: Talk+PTW
- Spring 9+10: Sleep
- Spring 11-13: Talk+PTW
- Spring 14: Sleep
- Spring 15: Talk+PTW
- Spring 16:
	> Gift Anissa the HT (NO PTW)
	> Buy 20 HTs
- From here on, no more PTW, only gifting with HT
- Accept the 2-heart gift
- Agree to the 4-heart date (she will invite you automatically in the course of normal gifting). Avoid the Toby intro cutscene by walking onto the beach far enough away from the stairs (by On The Hook) right at noon.
- Accept the 5-heart gift
- On any gifting day after the 5-heart gift, upon returning from the gifting trip, enter the house, then exit again, and this will trigger the 5-heart request (Snowflake Flower seeds)
- Agree to the 6-heart date, and wait for her under Alan's tree (Brownie Farm) until noon
- Gift until 1 HT remaining, then sleep until Winter 1

WINTER
- Winter 1:
	> Plant+water the Snowflake seed
	> Water everyday until it blossoms, then take it to Anissa, giving her both the flower and the final HT
- Hamilton's first Blue Feather cutscene will trigger the next day (exit the farmhouse)
- Sleep a week and exit the farmhouse to trigger the second Blue Feather cutscene, then go obtain the Blue Feather at Caramel Falls
- Propose to Anissa, set the date to soon, and sleep until the wedding
