Calvin (ToT)

"An adventurous archaeologist with a child-like spirit, and a big heart. Spends most of his time in the mines."

- Town Hall Description

Calvin (カルバン) is one of the available bachelors that you can marry in Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility.

Calvin is a laidback archaeologist who is the second arrival after you complete Daren's rainbow recipe. He naturally spends the majority of his time in the Mine. When you first meet Calvin on the 10th floor of the mine, he has fallen down a pitfall and sprained his ankle. With a little help, however, Calvin is soon back on his feet and isn't afraid to return to the mine later. His house is located in the Maple Lake District.

To a certain extent he is friendly and upbeat, but also tends to exhibit a rather distant persona.

Heart Events
2-Heart Event

Exit your house in the morning and you'll see Calvin. He comes offering a piece of Limestone he found at the mine. You can either accept or reject his gift.

If you reject his gift, Calvin will be upset, and you will lose heart points with him.

Calvin: "Hey, good morning." Pulls out a Limestone. "I found this in the mine yesterday. I thought you could make good use of it."

Player: For best results: "Thank you." Take the Limestone. Calvin: ♪ Smiles and nods. "Oh, it's just something I found lying around. No need to thank me." Raises hand in farewell. "See you again soon."

4-Heart Event

Talk to Calvin when he has 4 hearts before 11am on a sunny day. He will ask if you're free to have lunch with him at the Sundae Inn. If you agree to meet with him, go to the Sundae Inn between 12pm and 12:50pm for your lunch date.

If you don't show up on time, the event cannot be triggered. Calvin will be upset next time you speak to him and remind you that you didn't show up. You will also lose some affection.

5-Heart Event When you go to leave in the morning on a sunny day, Calvin will be at your front door and will present you with a diamond. You may accept or reject his gift.

If you reject his gift, Calvin will be upset, and you will lose heart points with him.

Request Event

Talk to Calvin on the tenth level of the mine and he will request you bring him an apple.

6-Heart Event

Talk to Calvin before 11am and he'll ask you to meet him later at Alan's Tree. Meet him at the tree between 12pm and 1pm and he will confess his love to you, which you may accept or deny.

Not showing up to meet Calvin or giving him a negative response will result in losing heart points.

Proposal

After Calvin reaches 8 hearts, you can propose to him. If you have gotten the blue bird event and received the Blue Feather, showing it to him will result in a proposal event, granted that you have met all of the other marriage requirements.

Present the feather to Calvin, who will ask if you really want to marry him. After professing your love, Calvin accepts your proposal. You'll then both be at Town Hall in front of Hamilton, who'll congratulate you both on the news. You will be asked when to schedule the wedding and Hamilton will set a date.

Child


The child you get from marrying Calvin will be somewhat standoffish and reserved. Regardless of having a boy or girl, they will have a serious looking frowning face, wear purple, as well as brown hair and eyes.

The boy's hair will be medium brown and neat with his bangs parted in the middle, whilst the girl will have light brown and shoulder-length with spik(e)y ends. You will get the same child if you married Chase, Luna or Selena.

Rival Events
Nearly every bachelor and bachelorette has a rival that the main character may have to compete with for marriage. These rivals have two events that can be triggered which will ultimately lead to them becoming married and having a child together.

The rival for Calvin's affection is Phoebe.

2-Heart Event Enter the Ganache Mine at 9am.

''If you are playing as a boy, you must have 2 hearts with Calvin. Inverse, if you are playing as a girl, you must have 2 hearts with Phoebe to activate this event.''

3-Heart Event Enter the Ganache Mine at 9am.

''If you are playing as a boy, you must have 3 hearts with Calvin. Inverse, if you are playing as a girl, you must have 3 hearts with Phoebe to activate this event.''

Rival Marriage The wedding will take place three days after Calvin and Phoebe's 3-heart event.

You will walk outside in the morning and Mayor Hamilton will be waiting. Hamilton tells you that Calvin and Phoebe's wedding is today, and then he escorts you to the Church. When you arrive, you'll sit down with the other guests. Soon Calvin and Phoebe are seen walking down the aisle together and Hamilton begins the marriage vows. They both say "I do" and then proceed to seal their marriage with a kiss, the event ending in the guests' congratulations outside of the church.

Rival Child

After triggering the two rival events between Calvin and Phoebe resulting in their marriage, the two of them will eventually end up with a son named Heath.

Glitch
In some versions of Tree of Tranquility, there is a glitch that can trigger for Calvin. If you get him up high enough to trigger the request event, and go down to the 10th floor of the Ganache Mine where you meet him, he's supposed to ask you for an apple, but instead the game will glitch, and just freeze. If you bought your copy after April 2009, then you'll probably have a fixed copy. You can Tell the difference by the color of the game disk. If the color of the image is green it's an older copy, but if the image on it is in full color it's the fixed version.
