Cliff (BTN)

Cliff (クリフ Cliff) is a character in Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for Girl, and Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl. He is one of the eligible bachelors in Harvest Moon for Girl and Boy & Girl if female player character is selected.

Cliff is a drifter who has found his way to Mineral Town. He stays at the Inn, where Doug has seemed to have taken quite a liking to him. Other times, he spends a lot of time at the Church with Carter. Cliff is very shy, and seems to have a lot of problems in his life. He is very distant from most people until he's befriended.

At the start of the game, he is jobless, but through in game events, he can end up with a job at the Winery. If Cliff doesn't manage to get the job, he will leave Mineral Town permanently. If this happens, he will not be available as a bachelor in the female version.

In the male version, the competition for Ann's affection will be eliminated if you are pursuing her, but means the two will never get married if you are not.
