Braden (OW)

Braden is a marriage candidate in Harvest Moon: One World.
Braden resides in the verdant grasslands of Calisson, which is a small hamlet where he is frequently trailed by a local boy named Elijah. While Braden at first may seem rather grumpy, his surly demeanor is fueled by his concern for the animals on his farm, which is in danger of closing due to the animals falling ill.

==Heart Events==
===Heart Event 1===
Elijah is excited over being taught how to paint by Braden and tells the player about a famous artist named 'Hazy Doe' and how he aspires to be just like them.
* You'll get there for sure!
Braden doesn't agree. It's good to have goals but you have to remember you have to actually work hard to achieve them. The player then interjects about how they'd like to paint and Braden suggests Cheese. Elijah comments on how Braden is smiling more than usual, which makes him flustered and the two leave. 
* You need to develop your own style
===Heart Event 2===
Walk down the hill from the higher area of Calisson, close to the stone with the dog painting on it. The rancher is handling paper that he says Elijah left behind. You mention that the handwriting on the papers looks similar to the signature style of Hazy Doe. Well, there's a reason for that... Braden requests that you keep it a secret. Hazy Doe needs to be kept in the shadows.
*You still want to keep it a secret?
===Heart Event 3===
Talk to Braden when he and Elijah are by the dog-painted stone. Elijah is excited because he found another Hazy Doe painting in Halo Halo. The meaning of the painting must be to keep trying and never give up. Elijah wants to paint pictures that have a message of their own. After he leaves, Branden tells you the story of his first secret drawing. Everyone interpreted it to have some sort of hidden meaning, but Braden didn't say anything because he didn't want to get into trouble for drawing on a tree.
*I agree with you, Elijah!
===Heart Event 4===
Talk to Braden when he is standing by his house in the morning. Braden is glad you've stopped by. It must be nice traveling around the world. Braden has to tend to the cows, so you offer to help him with his work.
Afterward, Braden is grateful for your help. He gives you a portrait he drew of you. Braden's view of certain things had changed lately. He wanted to change, but didn't know how. Pouring one's feelings into art doesn't actually solve one's problems. You have helped change his reality. Braden is glad to hear that you like both Braden's art and his alter-ego Hazy Doe's art. While Braden wants to continue to paint as Hazy to make people happy, he intends to continue to work on his ranch as Braden. He feels he can overcome his own problems with a willpower as strong as yours.
If possible, Braden would prefer to take this challenge on with you by his side. He doesn't expect your answer right away. He'll be waiting here at his ranch for your answer.
(This event ends at 5:00 pm.)
