I'm a HUGE fan of Stardew Valley, but the inclusivity is a little.. Lacking. I took it upon myself (as a cure for boredom) to doodle up a few diverse NPCs for the Stardew Valley world. For the next few posts I will be making and explaining (in depth) my NPCs and how they fit into the universe. First up is Shay Roe! Shay is a 36 year old trans woman who is predominantly post-transition and very comfortable in her own skin; as an NPC she isn't seen until you have finished / only if you finish the Jumino quests, where she appears at your doorstep, mentioning the Juminos told her you were a friend of the forest so she just had to meet you. Her house, however, cannot be found unless you pass through the treeline during the flower dance, where you will find her cabin; if you find her this way before completing the Jumino quests you will unlock a scene of her struggling to piece together a few slabs of runic text, if you offer to help her this is also a way to unlock her as a villager! Shay is a translator for the arcane, having the ability to speak Dwarf, Jumino, Shadow creature and Runic (such as the runes seen in the caves!); she works closely with Gunther and he usually refers to her as his 'right hand woman'.

Villagers she seems close with are Rasmodeus, who she claims to have had an 'on-and-off' relationship with, Caroline who she lovingly teases, recalling her wedding where Pierre got so nervous he fainted. Her closest friend by far is Jodie, who she recalls staying with when she first came to the valley; at her four heart event (or around there) if you enter Jodie's house she can be found inside, looking at baby photos of Sam, she explains she is his god mother, as she is the god mother to Vincent too and explains she can recall when most of the younger members of the valley came into the world, or when they first crossed paths. Shay is a bachelorette but is quite difficult to take beyond friendship; she expresses that she is often too busy with work for relationships, but as you progress with her she will start to take time for herself and put more effort into seeing you. Trivia: Shay loves / likes - Fried Calamari, Topaz, Amethyst, all artisanal goods except from all types of honey (which she hates!), Star fruit, ancient fruit, Autumn Bounty, Salad, Truffle Oil / Truffles in general and all forged metal bars (copper, iron, gold, iridium, radioactive etc. Rarer the mineral, the more she loves it) Shay Hates / Dislikes - Prismatic Shard, diamond, Weeds, Joja Cola, All Trash,  Rotten Plants, All Bait, Magnet, Sap, Fish, Seaweed, All Algae, Hay, Sea Urchin, Bug Meat, Snail, Slime, Oil of Garlic, Strange Bun, Void Mayonnaise, ALL flowers except Poppy, both Pink and Chocolate cakes and Frozen Tears. Upon discovering her house and looking inside, a note can be seen on her coffee table; it is a snippet from a news paper, suggesting that a 14 year old Mason Roe is missing. The excerpt is dated from the first year of gameplay.

Shay can be found - Monday - Walking around town from 8:30am onwards, returns home at 12 midnight. Tuesday - Joins the girls (and Harvey) for their workout class, she stands beside Harvey and can be seen cheering him on. Returns home after the class. Wednesday - Visits Marnie at 8:30am, if you walk pas the pair together speech bubbles read 'Really, with the mayor?' and 'Under a bush???'. Returns home when Marnie closes. Thursday - Visits pub, can be found drinking wine and eating an autumn bounty. Returns home at 12 midnight. Friday - Enters pub at 12 noon, sits on the table shared by elliott and co; can be found drinking wine and gossiping. Saturday - Visits Krobus in the sewers, can be found talking to him and gossiping. Returns home at midnight. Sunday - Visits the Dwarf in the caves, can be found talking to her and gossiping. Returns home at midnight.

Heart events 2 Hearts - Shay appears at your doorstep after you have completed the Jumino quests, proclaiming how cool it is to finally see the community centre back how it used to be when she was a kid; she walks you there and talks to a yellow Jumino, where she translates that the Juminos are very pleased with you and that they'll now be able to help you (a nod to the Junimo huts you can buy /earn) 4 Hearts - Shay is found sat on Jodie's sofa, looking through a book of photos; she notices you and starts to gush about having lived with Jodie while she was pregnant with Sam and how she is Sam and Vincent's god mother. She explains how she's seen all the younger characters in the village grow up, admitting that she worries about the Mulners, despite her animosity with George (the reason they are 'enemies' isnt clear at this point). 5 Hearts - Shay invites you to stay at her's for the night, suggesting you join her for a pamper day as your farm seems to have you stressed; when you get there, you can view a film exclusive to befriending her and, if you agree you like the film, you can receive an exclusive film poster! she puts a face mask on you and you chill, enjoying jasmine tea and a film. 6 Hearts - Shay can be found talking to Evelyn outside of her house when George wheels out; the tension between George and Shay turns to arguing, George admits that he doesn't like her because he thinks she's a witch, that's why she's so close to Rasmodeus, but she denies it. You have to choose a side, whoever's side you DO NOT choose you lose a heart with. If you choose Shay's side she takes you back to the woods and admits that George isn't the only one who is cruel to her, that Kent didn't like how close Jodie and Shay had got so kicked her out and that she has been yelled at by willy a few times for washing herself in the river (she cannot get running water where she lives). she admits you are one of the few people she trusts, and that you're her best friend, that she knows she can rely on you

8 Hearts - At her 8 heart event, Shay can be found trying to pick a dress to wear to whatever celebration is coming up (dress options customised to the event coming up closest to this event!); she'll ask you to choose a dress and jokingly offer you one, if you accept you will be put in a dress and dance with her in the forest clearing outside of her house. Once you stop dancing she will become flustered and try to laugh it off, you can now ask her out!

[justashamwithwastedpotential]

It’s Skylar’s theme again, but the correct file this time 😭 It’s just a key change, but the goal was for it to sound more whimsical and such

[starlit-mansion]

one of the annoying things about playing stardew valley for the first time since like 2018 is that i forgot all the character arcs and did not realize........ that haley and evie's arcs are not dissimilar

[doodlesbytam]

A portrait of my oc Adelaide in SDV portrait style! I offer these as commissions so DM me @artbytamora if you're interested :)

[benjineedssleep]

i swear the hardest part of my writing style (particularly in long stuff) is that i have one too many reoccurring items/motifs. and it's like... now i have to remember a million tiny details and use them again!!! i swear, at this point cmd f is my best friend with how much i use it. i can just search a key term and be like you! i need you! and move on. like even with my notes i still forget things sometimes. i just had to search "raccoon" because for SOME REASON i decided to reference a nameless character and her taxidermy hobby more than once. and like... it's cool!!! it makes the worlds i create feel a lot more real and, i dunno, connected? like if all these characters grew up together they obviously know the same people so they should be referenced more than once. but also! it's so much work LMAO--

[moonferry]

telling people your favorite sdv npc is kent is always a rocky slope.

they automatically assume you want him / want to ruin his marriage and I!! DONT!!!!

i just want to look at him under a microscope and inspect his brain matter and the inner machinations of his mind..

i've spent MONTHS diving into his character and analyzing him and writing a pre canon backstory..

plus, i adore him AND his wife. like?? they're literally so perfect together and it lowk makes me upset to see kent/jodi shipped with people who aren't each other..

like i even made two ocs just for the purpose of a) one of them being jodi's older brother and b) both of them being kent's best friends..
