Dakota (ユイ) is a character in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade.

Dakota is a high-spirited, enthusiastic, and fun-loving little girl. She inherits natural love of delicious food from Maya. Dakota dreams of becoming a good chef and has a unique ability to tell the smell of foods.

Dakota's Birth
Two weeks after their wedding ceremony, Chase and Maya will send you a letter in the mailbox. The couple had a baby girl named Dakota, so they ask you to go to Chase' House on Flute Fields. As a newborn baby, the player cannot do anything with Dakota. Dakota will remain in her crib until she is fully-grown.

Dakota (Grown-up)
After you've visited Chase and Maya at their home and been introduced to the infant Dakota, you will receive another letter in your mailbox two weeks later. This time, Chase and Maya are going to take her for photos.

Go to Simon's Photography Studio at any time when the store is open to see a cut-scene of Dakota introducing herself. From this point on, you can interact with her in various ways, such as gift-giving and socializing. Like any other rival children in the game, Dakota cannot grow any older.

Events
Proud Parents Walk from Harmonica Town to Celesta Church Grounds on a sunny day. Dakota and Vivian must be fully-grown with 1 heart, while their fathers must have 5 hearts or more.

Chase and Gill will watch as their daughters play together and look at them happily. Gill is certainly not modest about Vivian, claiming that she is not only the smartest girl in town, but also the most beautiful. Chase immediately disagrees, causing an argument between them of which one of their daughters would win in a beauty pageant. Finn points out that neither rival children seem to pay much attention to what their fathers are talking about.

Treasure Hunting with Dakota Walk over the bridge on Flute Fields when Dakota has three hearts. If this event does not trigger by going across the bridge, try going a little south towards the Flute Fields Watermill.

Dakota and your first child pick things they've found on the fields. Your child will show Dakota a mushroom that they found. Dakota is impressed by the mushroom, especially by its large size.
