doesn't sound quite original, but, anyway, this contest is to design a character you feel got left out/needed to be included with a game.

Contest is Over
Voting is over and Sanaka is the winner, congrats.

Rules:
1) You must either draw your character with a small backstory OR write a short story on your character and describe him/her since we won't be given a visual
2) Your character must be from an excisting Harvest Moon Village.
3) Any tool is fine (ie: sketching, photoshop, paint, word, etc.)
4) 1 character please
5) If there were any characters mentioned in one of the games but were not shown (ie, Aja, Cliff's sister, etc) you may do one of those, but we prefer your own creation.
6) Your character CANNOT be the one you created for this site or anyone elses

Name: Iku Hardy
Marry-able
Rival: Skye
Job: Student in a city studying to become an actor.

Rival Black Heart Event: Late Night Meeting

Iku is walking from the path to Mineral town near to her house.
"It is so dark.... If I keep talk animals will stay away, I think," says Iku.
SNAP!
Iku takes her bag and hits a person behind her in the side of the head.
"I didn't do anything yet, beautiful," says Skye.
"Huh?" Iku states. "I'm sorry umm.... What's your name?"
"Skye, my dear."
"S-Skye?" Iku stammered, "Aren't you a theif?"
"Wow, I meet a person and they see right through me," chuckles Skye. "CHICKBEAM FIRE!"
Iku tries to move, but she can't.
"What did you do? I can't move. Why?" Iku has a sad expression on face.
Skye feels guilt for her. "I'm sorry, but I can't be caught, beautiful."
"I hardly know you, why would I tell on you?"
"You know I'm a theif."
"Yeah so. My dad told me to trust people no matter what. You can't be that bad."
Skye, "I'm going... You'll be fine in a little bit..."
"I'm Iku... Bye..."
Skye rushes towards the town and Iku slowly gains the ability to move.
Iku sighs and heads home to her father.
(sorry that it's too small)

She is often found wandering around town late in the day and goes to sleep late at night in the Inn.

Her routine:
11am: Eats Lunch for breakfast
1pm: Wanders to the Spring
3pm: Walks around the whole town "searching for something to fill up the void"
5pm: Eats dinner for lunch
8pm: Back to the spring to gaze into the water, hoping to see something to fill up the void
10pm: Eats late late meal for dinner
1am: Wanders around town again
3am: Goes to sleep

For the story would it be a biography about their life or a short story involving them?

Can you make up your own character? I mean like can you make... imagine, a brother of Cliff or something like that?

@Alisa: of course, anything goes
@Sanaka: ya, ugh, school

Hmm! I think I will indeed join in.
Perfect event! I'll have fun with this~!


By the way, can we do a picture, and a backstory and a shortstory if we want to?
*creative bubbles overflowing*

i'd recomend you don't, cuz then it'll give you two potential chances to win, but i'm thinking of doing it in a different way, if there are a lot of entrys, so, if i were you, i'd do them both, then, submit the best one, and if i say there's going to be two winners (one for the short story ad one for the pic and background story) then you can submit the other one.

Gahh I want to enter~~
do the judges vote?

i still have to discus this with venus, but it might be that

Ok, I was thinking the people vote like they did to some other competitions
