Kurt (HoLV)

Kurt is a character in Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley.

Kurt and his brother Joe work at Woody's Carpentry as an apprentice. He is a shy, quiet, and overall, just not very talkative. However, once you get the chance to know him better, you'll find he's a very sensitive guy. He is your rival when it comes to Dia.

Sometime at noon, you can see him sneaking behind a tree, watching Dia as she is standing outside the villa.

Event Path # 9: The Tale of the Silver Fish
There are rumors spreading within the valley which tells about a very rare fish that can only be caught during the full moon of each season (29th and 30th). The fish apparently lives in the deepest part of Mallard Lake. After hearing the news, Joe became interested to find the fish and for the Funland to cancel their constructions in the valley if ever a nature preserve will be given to the village. He then asks for your help along with his brother, Kurt. Will you be able to catch it?
