Maria is the daughter of Mayor Theodore and works as a receptionist at the library. You will be unable to meet Maria until the Library opens on the 10th day of Spring. She's serious and seems to be quite religious (often making references to the Harvest Goddess).
She has an artistic side to her, but also loves nature and animals. She is always happy to see visitors to the library. Books change in Spring and Fall, and you can obtain a musical note if you read every book at the library.

Reviews for "From Friendship to Marriage: Navigating the Courtship Process in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody"
1. Emma - 1 star - I was really disappointed with Harvest Moon Magical Melody Marriage. The graphics were outdated and the gameplay was repetitive and boring. The marriage aspect was particularly lackluster, with no real depth or meaningful interactions with the other characters. I quickly lost interest and couldn't find any motivation to continue playing. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone looking for an engaging and enjoyable marriage simulation experience.
2. Mark - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Harvest Moon Magical Melody Marriage, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The marriage mechanics felt forced and the character interactions were superficial. The lack of character development and meaningful dialogue made it difficult to form any emotional connection with the potential spouses. Additionally, the overall pacing of the game felt slow and monotonous, making it hard to stay engaged. I was left feeling like the marriage aspect was tacked on without much thought or care.
3. Sarah - 1 star - I was really excited to play Harvest Moon Magical Melody Marriage, but it ended up being a huge letdown. The marriage aspect of the game felt incredibly shallow and lacked depth. There were no real consequences or challenges to face in building relationships, making it feel meaningless and unfulfilling. The repetitive tasks and lack of variety in gameplay quickly became tedious. Overall, this game failed to capture my interest and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying marriage simulation experience.
