Julius (AP)

Julius (ジュリ) is a character in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. He is one of the eligible bachelors to court.

Flashy and fashionable, Julius specializes in making accessories with Mira at Koto Accessories. He enjoys jewelry, fashion, gems, and anything flashy. Julius is cheerful and always smiling even when his boss Mira is grieving and cannot work.

In the beginning of the game, Julius can be found at the accessory store when you first meet him. He cannot return to work, however, until Mira returns to the accessory store. He will express that he feels sorry for Mira, and the two seem to be a sort of family - as Julius has no family of his own. He lives alone at his home in Flute Fields.

On days that the accessory store is open, Julius will spend all of his days in the Garmon Mine District where the accessory store is located. He is one of the easiest villagers to find, as he never leaves the inside of the store when it's open. On Thursdays when the accessory store is closed, Julius can be found at his house in Flute Fields. Your rival for Julius will be Candace.

Julius has found a gem, but would rather you have it instead! He hopes that you'll appreciate the gift, and will ask if you'd like to take it. If you accept, Julius will be pleased, and you will receive an Amethyst. If you reject his gift, Julius will be upset, and you will lose heart points with him.

Gift (4 Heart Event) Exit your house in the morning after Julius has four hearts. He will waiting on your doorstep as you exit, and asks if you'd like a gift that he's brought. This time he has brought a present he bought from the clothing store.

If you accept his gift, you will receive a Blue Scarf, which are not available through the clothing store. The only other way to get it is to buy it at the Starry Night Festival. If you decline his present, Julius will be upset and you lose heart points with him.

Date (5 Heart Event) When Julius has a heart level of 5 or more hearts, he can be asked out on a date. Talk to him before noon and he will ask if you're free later. If you accept, Julius will ask you to meet him at Moon Hill at 16:00 (4pm).

Meet Julius at 4pm for a picnic. Julius talks about the importance of beauty, and asks if you're interested in beauty and fashion. If you say you're interested, Julius will be happy and the date will continue into the evening. When the date is over, Julius will thank you and go home. If you don't show up on time, the event cannot be triggered. Julius will be upset next time you speak to him and remind you that you didn't show up. You will also lose some affection.

Confession (7 Heart Event) Talk to Julius before noon when he has reached 7 hearts. He will ask you to meet him at the Lighthouse at 16:00 (4pm). When you meet him, Julius will admit that you're the first person to make him lose sleep at night, and he likes you very much. He wants to know how you feel about him.

If you give him a positive response, he will offer to walk you home and the event will end. Any negative response will cause him to be upset that you don't feel the same way. If you don't show up to meet Julius, he will be very sad the next time you talk to him, and will remind you that you forgot something important. It will take a little while to regain lost hearts.

Proposal (9 Heart Event) Proposals can be triggered at 9 hearts. Showing him the Blue Feather will result in a proposal event if all requirements have been met. Make sure that you have watched all events and that he has 9 hearts. Showing the feather before meeting these requirements may result in Julius not accepting your feather.

If he wants to accept your feather, he will ask to talk more privately. You'll be automatically transferred to the Church Grounds where Julius will begin confessing his love. Of course he accepts your proposal! Any response you give will be positive.

You'll then both go to Town Hall to speak with Hamilton, who'll congratulate you both on the news. You will be asked when to schedule the wedding and Hamilton will set a date. The date is randomized and can be as early as next day, or later on in the week.

Wedding After you've proposed, Hamilton will set the day of your wedding for you. The wedding will take place at Celesta Church. On the day of your wedding, you will be automatically taken to the Church. You will meet your fiancée here, along with the guests attending your wedding. At wedding ceremonies, the bride/groom's family will always appear. Hamilton will appear in every wedding cut scene, and Perry will always be there to make the wedding official.

When Perry asks if you promise, answering with "no" will only result in Perry asking again. You will be forced to answer with "yes," and once you do, the marriage will be official! Hamilton will present you with a Honeymoon Ticket that you can use after your wedding ceremony. Simon will always take a photo of us which can be showcased in your home. After the ceremony you will be automatically transported to your home.

Your spouse will now live with you permanently. Your wedding ring is now available through your dresser, and it is your choice to wear that or not.

Married Life

Your spouse will make you a lunch every morning. Depending on how many hearts they have, the quality of the lunch will change. Your spouse can also help you with chores around your farm, which include fishing, mining, watering, harvesting, picking weeds, milking, brushing, and egg/silk collecting. Your spouse's personality depends on what chores they'll be better at. You must select a chore to do in between 6 and 7am, or else your spouse will go out on their own during the day.

You can take your spouse for a walk. This is a way to spend time with your spouse, and their heart points will increase from it. Your spouse' birthday is also a date that has to be remembered, as you can celebrate his/her birthday by giving them a gift during the day, or entering house after 6pm. Your spouse may still go out and do things that they did before you married them, but they will always return in the evening.

Children
Personality

If you marry Julius, your children have three personality possibilities: Romantic, Quiet, or Scholarly. The Fiery personality is not available for any of your children if you are married to Julius. Your child's personality will change dialogue, as well as what chores they specialize in.

Appearance

Julius' children will always have hair that is colored purple, and red eyes. Your children will always look like spouse, but with a darker hair color. They will also inherit some of your spouse' personality, but you can choose their personality with a variety of different choices offered at each stage of their growth.

Rival Events
Julius will marry Candace if you do not marry him and trigger their rival heart events.

If the player is male, you must befriend Julius at the right amount of hearts to see these events. Similarly, if the player is female, you must befriend Candace at the appropriate heart level to see these events between the two. Since both Candace and Julius are available from the start of the game, there are no requirements to unlock them.

4 Heart Rival Event The first event takes place at Sonata Tailoring from 10am to 8pm when either Julius or Candace reaches 4 hearts.

Julius has come to see Candace and asks if she'd like to hang out later. When she doesn't respond, Julius thinks that he's done something wrong. Candace tries to assure him that it's nothing he's done, but before she can explain what she means, Julius cuts her off again. He thinks that she's insulting his height, and gets upset that Candace would insult him like that. Candace gets frustrated, and runs out of the store.

In the Japanese version of the game, Julius seems to think that Candace believes he's a crossdresser. Julius assures Candace that he is no such thing, but scares her off in the process of yelling at her. He didn't mean to upset her.

5 Heart Rival Event If you're playing as a female, Candace will come to your house at 5 hearts. She confides in you about her crush on Julius. Because the two of you are friends, she asks for your advice. Encouraging Candace will make her relieved, and you can continue to work towards the couple's heart events. If you want to marry Julius yourself, discourage her.

The same event happens if the player is a male. You must have 5 hearts with Julius (not Candace), and he will come to your house asking about Candace.

Proposal (7 Heart Rival Event) This event triggers at the Julius' house between 10am and 8pm. Candace/Julius must be at 7 hearts, all previous events must be seen.

Candace has come to visit Julius because she's concerned. Julius sprained his ankle, and she wants to know that he's okay. Julius says that he's fine, and thanks Candace for being so concerned about him. Julius apologizes to Candace, hoping that she's not upset about anything in the past. Candace also apologizes, because she feels that Julius has never liked her.

Julius immediately says that's not true at all... he's always liked her! In fact, he was looking for a blue feather to propose to her with! Candace accept Julius' proposal, saying that there's nobody else that she would rather marry.

Wedding

Two weeks after the 7 heart event, Candace and Julius will have their wedding ceremony. The player will get a letter in their mailbox (regardless of which gender the main character is) from Candace and Julius asking if you will attend their wedding. The date will be on the invitation, as well as the time. Wedding ceremonies are always at 10am.

On the scheduled wedding date, walk into Celesta Church to see Julius and Candace's wedding. It is very similar to your own wedding. Candace's family, as well as any of Candace/Julius' friends will attend. You will take your seat and watch the ceremony.

After Rival Wedding
After Candace and Julius get married, Candace will move out of Sonata Tailoring. She will move into Julius' home in Flute Fields, and they will both live there together. Julius can still be found at Mira's shop during work hours, and Candace can be found working at Sonata Tailoring.

Two weeks after their wedding ceremony, Candace and Julius will send a letter regarding the birth of their baby girl named Angie. Go to Julius' home in Flute Fields to meet their new baby. Angie will not appear in game if Julius and Candace did not marry.
