Luna (AP)

is a character in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. She is one of the eligible bachelorettes to court.
Her appearance has changed since Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, she now has a more adult look and the same height as the other bachelorettes.
Unlike her sister Candace, Luna is outgoing and takes charge. Despite her size, Luna is quick to defend her soft-spoken older sister. She helps her grandmother Shelly run the family business and is never shy to speak her mind. She also has a serious and career driven side, which is particularly appealing to your rival Gill. Luna loves the color pink and has a keen sense of fashion. She also has a sweet tooth and loves to eat cakes, pies, cookies, and chocolate.
During Sonata Tailoring's business hours, Luna will be in the shop hard at work. When the store is closed on Sundays, she can still be very easily found outside the streets of the shop in Harmonica Town. Until you ring the Blue Bell and calm the waters around Castanet, Luna will be unavailable in game.

== Marriage Events ==
===Marital Argument===
|250px|right
To witness this event, the player must lower Luna's Hearts to 10 Hearts after marriage. A good way to do it is to water her with a watering can while she follows you for a walk (11 times to lower a heart each). 
In the morning, instead of the usual meal preparation, Luna would be sulking in the kitchen instead. As you approach her, She reveals that she is angry at you, and wishes you to leave her alone for the time being.

You have 3 ways to answer her: 
# I love you. (+3 Hearts and a kiss)
# Of course I do. (+2 Hearts)
# You should already know. (+1 Heart)
The best option would be "I love you.", which significantly deepens your bond with Luna. No matter which option is chosen, Luna would go back to making you meals in the morning like before. 
----
===First Kid===
Once you have gained a Level 3 House and garnered at least 14 Hearts with Luna, she will ask you whether you are ready for kids. If you reply her positively, she will then ask you which gender do you want your first child to be. If you let her pick the child's gender, she would reply that she wants a girl. 
After you have decided on your child's gender, it would take a minimum of 14 days for the child to be born (provided no other important events are listed on that day). 
----
===Birthday Celebration===
On the morning of your birthday, Luna would give a hint for you to come home early that day. Return home at 6pm to get a Birthday Party thrown by Luna (and your kids if you have any) to celebrate your birthday. She would give you a Birthday present, even though it won't be anything outstanding, the thought itself is ultimately what matters. 
After the cutscene is over, you'll find yourself at your home at midnight. 
----
===Birth of First Child===
On the morning of the child born day, Luna will mention that she sense the child is coming, and asks the player to send her to the clinic. 
The player, visibly distraught, accompanies Luna to the Clinic. Whilst at the clinic, Luna promises the player she will do her best to deliver the baby safely and return to the player. Irene, waiting on the sidelines, now asks the player to wait outside as the delivery procedure is about to begin. 
For what seems like an eternity, the player nervously ruminates and meanders around the door, awaiting for the good news from Irene and his wife Luna. Finally, he heard the sound of a loud and clear newborn crying from within the room, and he finally enters the room yet again. The delivery went without a hitch! Irene confirms the gender of your newborn, while Luna laments that it was tough giving birth to your child! She then asks if you have decided on a name for your first child. 
As you mutter the name of your child to Luna, she sentimentally agrees that it was an impressive and lovely name for both of your child. Irene then said she would send a baby crib to your home and asks both of the newly minted parents to sleep well tonight. As the room is once again left for your family, Luna asks you how both of you should raise your child. Once you have shared your ideals of how to raise the child, Luna once again reassures the player that although it would be hard, both of you shall do your best to raise the child. Exhausted, Luna then rests her eyes after her tiring delivery experience. 
Once the cutscene ends, you would be teleported back to your home at 8pm the same day. Your child can be found near your bed, inside their baby crib. You can pick her up, play the rattle with her, or show her to other folks in town including Luna. The theme of the house would also change as you now have more family members in the farmstead. 
----
===Luna's Birthday===
On Spring 25th after marriage, you can have a birthday party with Luna any moment you give her a gift. If you have any kid(s), they would also celebrate Luna's birthday. Luna will have different reactions depending on the gift you give her. 
The birthday party will take up the whole day, so it is recommended to trigger it once you are done with your daily chores and errands. The event will end at midnight once the cutscene is over.
----
===First Child Crawl Event===
Two weeks after your child is born, they will learn how to crawl while growing in size with hair and eye color becoming more apparent with features of Luna (Pink hair and Blue Eyes). Baby boys will wear a green jumper with a cat hat, while baby girls wear an orange jumper with a rabbit hat.
Upon being given a choice to make with this stage, the first option will lead to a Fiery or Studious personality type. The second option will lead to a Romantic personality. You can sooth your baby at this stage if they are crying. As in Newborn Stage, you will still be able to pick up your child if you leave the house.
----
===First Child Walk Event===
Two weeks after your child learns to crawl, they will start to walk. Changes start to become slow at this point in your child's growth. Apart from learning to walk and slowly growing up, nothing significant changes. The same interactions apply as the Crawling stage. 
You will get another personality choice: the first option will result in a Studious or Romantic personality type, while the second choice will result in a Fiery personality type. This is the most recognizable personality type choice, as it deviates from the regular personality changes.
----
===First Child Talk Event===
The talking stage happens two weeks before they are fully-grown. In the Japanese version, when your spouse asks what you'd like to be called, you will prompted to pick an option. You can actually choose what your child will call you the casual "Mom"/"Dad" or formal "Mother"/"Father". This option is absent from Western versions; your spouse will only ask what you'd prefer to be called, but you don't get to choose. 
You will also get a final personality choice: the first option would lead to Fiery or Studious personality type; while the second choice would result in a Romantic personality type. 
----
===First Child Fully-Grown===
The child will be fully-grown two weeks after they learned to talk. From this point on, you can interact with them by gift-giving and talking, and there will be events with children.
Upon waking up in the morning on the day they grow up, a cut-scene of your family getting ready going to Simon's Photography Studio to take photos will play. Before that, there is a cut-scene of them visiting Perry. The picture is automatically put into your album and can be displayed at your house. The same scene when your second child is born will happen, but with both children.
Afterwards, Hamilton will give you a Child's Bed so your children will now sleep in the second bedroom of house. You will also be able to dress your children through the dresser. Each gender comes with two default outfits to choose from and additional clothing can be purchased from Sonata Tailoring and Shelly during New Year's Eve Event. Different genders will wear different clothing and cannot be shared.
----
===Missing Child===
==== Part 1 ====
This event only occurs once with your first child only when they have 4 hearts. It takes place the entire day and will last until 8pm.
In the morning, Luna is afraid that your child is missing. The latter was gone when they woke up in the morning and did not tell anybody where they were going. At night, your child still has not returned, making their parents worried. As Luna is about to go out looking for the child, they suddenly return much to their parents' worry.
==== Part 2 ====
The second part will trigger after viewing the first part with your child having 8 hearts. It takes place the entire day and will also last until 8pm. 
The same situation will happen, except Luna will scold them and asks why they came home so late. A baby fox got separated from its mother, so your child was only trying to help reunite them. They neither realize how late it was nor mean to make you worried. The player and Luna will be relieved that their child returned home safe.
----
===Wedding Anniversary===
On every Wedding Ceremony, you can trigger a cutscene after 18:00 by entering your home to be greeted by Luna and your kid(s) (if any). You would be asked to guess what day is it by your family member(s). A correct answer would raise 1 Heart with Luna, while the wrong answer would decrease 1 Heart with Luna and end the event immediately. 
The family would gather around for a Heartful Dinner, note that the event would differ if you have kid(s). The event would end with Luna kissing you good night.
----
===Child Nurse===
This event will last the entire day and trigger when your first child has 6 hearts.
Rather than the usual gameplay that normally starts, the player will remain in the bed feeling unwell. Their child is worried and asks how they are feeling. Luna will reassure their first child, saying that they will take care of their sick parent and not to worry. However, their child will insist that they can care for their sick parent. The player will finally wake up at 8pm, where they begin the gameplay that they missed during daytime. The child would gain +1 Heart from this event.
----
===Second Child===
Once you have garnered at least 16 Hearts with Luna, she will ask you whether you are ready for another kid. If you reply her positively, she will then ask you which gender do you want your first child to be. If you let her pick the child's gender, she would reply that she wants a boy this time. 
After you have decided on your child's gender, it would take a minimum of 14 days for the child to be born (provided no other important events are listed on that day). 
----
=== Child's Birthday ===
Besides yours and your spouse's, your children also have birthday celebrations. Go into your house after 6:00 pm to start the celebration. Unlike the adult birthdays, the kids want presents on their birthday. At the start of the birthday dinner you will be prompted to pick an item out of your rucksack for your birthday boy or girl.
If you do not give your child a present, shame on you! You will lose affection with your child (and spouse, for being such a party-pooper).
----
=== Birth of Second Child ===
Same as the previous event with your first child, Luna will wake up one morning requesting to be admitted to Herb Clinic as the baby is due. After the brief cutscene where your second child is born, you go through the same personality check to determine the child's personality. On a side note, the dialogue mostly are the same except for the very last line as shown here.
Once the cutscene ends, you would be teleported back to your home at 8pm the same day. Your child can be found near your bed, inside their baby crib. You can pick her up, play the rattle with her, or show her to other folks in town including Luna and your first child. 
----
=== Second Child Crawl Event ===
Two weeks after your child is born, they will learn how to crawl while growing in size with hair and eye color becoming more apparent with features of Luna (Pink hair and Blue Eyes). Baby boys will wear a green jumper with a cat hat, while baby girls wear an orange jumper with a rabbit hat.
Upon being given a choice to make with this stage, the first option will lead to a Fiery or Studious personality type. The second option will lead to a Romantic personality. You can sooth your baby at this stage if they are crying. As in Newborn Stage, you will still be able to pick up your child if you leave the house.
The main change for this event is that your first child will participate and dance around while you and Luna talk about how the child is gonna turn out, aww!
----
=== Second Child Walk Event ===
Two weeks after your child learns to crawl, they will start to walk. Changes start to become slow at this point in your child's growth. Apart from learning to walk and slowly growing up, nothing significant changes. The same interactions apply as the Crawling stage.
You will get another personality choice: the first option will result in a Studious or Romantic personality type, while the second choice will result in a Fiery personality type. This is the most recognizable personality type choice, as it deviates from the regular personality changes.
Yet again, your first child would be present to be shocked that the baby can walk now then claps joyfully as you discuss with Luna on how should the child be raised.
----
=== Second Child Talk Event ===
The talking stage happens two weeks before they are fully-grown. In the Japanese version, when your spouse asks what you'd like to be called, you will prompted to pick an option. You can actually choose what your child will call you the casual "Mom"/"Dad" or formal "Mother"/"Father". This option is absent from Western versions; your spouse will only ask what you'd prefer to be called, but you don't get to choose.
You will also get a final personality choice: the first option would lead to Fiery or Studious personality type; while the second choice would result in a Romantic personality type.
However, Luna would wrongly call the name of the first child instead in this event, similar to how the name of the Second child is referred by the first child's name when talking to other NPCs in each Child Stage. This is because Natsume did not do localization correctly, which ruins an otherwise perfectly cute event. 
----
=== First Child Fully-Grown ===
The child will be fully-grown two weeks after they learned to talk. From this point on, you can interact with them by gift-giving and talking, and there will be events with children.
Upon waking up in the morning on the day they grow up, a cut-scene of your family getting ready going to Simon's Photography Studio to take photos will play. Before that, there is a cut-scene of them visiting Perry. The picture is automatically put into your album and can be displayed at your house. The main difference in this event is that both children will be present as toddlers for the first time.
Afterwards, Hamilton will give you another Child's Bed so your second child will now share a bedroom with the first child. You will also be able to dress your children through the dresser. Each gender comes with two default outfits to choose from and additional clothing can be purchased from Sonata Tailoring Shelly during New Year's Eve Event. Different genders will wear different clothing and cannot be shared.
----
=== Child Arguments ===
This event triggers when your second child has 4 Hearts, as long as there is at least one rival child that is fully-grown. In the morning, you will awake to find your child crying inside the house. When Luna ask what's wrong, the child will explain that they got into an argument with a rival child. Luna will tell them that arguing is never a good idea, so the two children need to make up.
