Leah Basics

Leah lives alone in a house in Cindersap Forest, south of your Farm. She doesn't have any family in the Valley, but is friends with Elliott. She has an ex-partner named Kel who shows up in her Heart Events. Leah's birthday is on Winter 23.

Leah Schedule

Leah can be a bit hard to get to know, as her house cannot be entered until you have at least 2 Hearts of friendship with her. She spends most mornings in her house and afternoons drawing outside. Where she draws depends on the season. She goes shopping at Pierre's General Store on Mondays and drinks in the Stardrop Saloon on Friday and Saturday evenings as well as during rainy days.

In Spring, Leah draws near the Forest Pond in Cindersap Forest. In Summer, she goes to the Beach. In Fall, she can be found by the river near Clint's Blacksmith shop. In Winter, she stays inside painting every day (except Mondays) and visits the Stardrop Saloon every night.

Leah attends all festivals. She has a checkup at Harvey's Clinic on Spring 16. Once the Ginger Island Resort is open, Leah may spend the day there instead.

Leah Quests

Leah is not involved in any Story Quests or plot-related Quests. She is one of the characters who can ask for items on the Help Wanted board outside of Pierre's General Store.

Leah Heart Events

Leah has a number of Heart Events that will occur as you raise your Friendship Level. As a marriageable bachelorette, Leah has an optional 10-Heart event if you date her and 14-Heart event if you marry her.

Enter Leah's House any time she is there. Leah will be working on a sculpture and ask for your opinion. None of your answers have any positive or negative effects on friendship, UNLESS you ask her for a kiss, which will lose you 100 Friendship Points and lock you out of future heart events.

Enter Leah's House any time she is there. She will be arguing with her ex-partner on the phone. Answer "It had to be done" or "Your ex sounds like an idiot" to avoid losing Friendship Points with her.

Leah will visit your farmhouse on a rainy day between 6AM and 11:30 AM. She will give you a sculpture as a gift. This sculpture is a piece of furniture you can place in your house.

After receiving the sculpture, enter Cindersap Forest when Leah is there. Note that this event cannot trigger in Winter. You will help Leah pick fruit from a tall tree.

Leah's 8-Heart event is unique in that it has two variations, depending on what suggestion you made about her career during her 2-Heart event.

If you chose Art show in town, Leah shows up at your farmhouse between 6AM and 8AM to invite you to her show. On any day after this visit, enter Pelican Town between 3PM and 5PM to attend the art show.

If you chose Art website, enter Leah's House when she is there. She will proudly tell you that her website is doing well and she is selling a lot of art.

Leah's 10-Heart event is available ONLY if you have given her a Bouquet and asked her to date you. It is not required to reach Perfection unless you choose her as your love interest.

Enter Cindersap Forest between 11AM and 4PM on a sunny day. Note that this event cannot trigger in Winter. Leah will invite you to a picnic, but her ex-partner Kel will show up to ruin it. You can choose to either punch Kel or allow Leah to do it.

If you marry Leah, you can trigger this event by leaving the farmhouse before 8:20 AM on a sunny day that isn't a Sunday. Note that this event cannot trigger in Winter. Leah will invite you to paint with her.

Any sunny day after you've seen the first part of the event, enter Cindersap Forest between 11:30 AM and 2PM. You and Leah will paint pictures of Marnie. Leah will ask you what style of painting she should make, which will affect the appearance of the final item. After the event, you will get your version, titled "My First Painting," as a furniture item you can display. Leah's painting will appear in Marnie's bedroom from then on.

Leah Marriage

You can marry Leah by giving her a Mermaid's Pendant after reaching 10 Hearts. After marriage, Leah will move into the farmhouse. Her private room is an art studio, and she sometimes works on her sculpture in the nook behind the farmhouse.

When married, Leah mostly stays on the farm, but visits Cindersap Forest and hangs out outside her old cottage on Mondays.

On rainy days, Leah may give you an item she foraged. The options are Chanterelle, Common Mushroom, Morel, or Red Mushroom. On any day, Leah may brew you Coffee, make you a Salad, or give you a plant she grew. The options are Cactus Fruit, Daffodil, Dandelion, Fiddlehead Fruit, Leek, Spice Berry, Sweet Pea, and Wild Horseradish. On New Year's Eve, (Winter 28) Leah will give you a bottle of Wine.
