 **Mission Index**

**McDonald** is a resident of Portia with whom the player can develop a friendship. He is a rancher living in his ranch outside of Portia, next to Sophie's Ranch. He raises horses and cows and dreams of one day opening a restaurant. He can often be found at his shop, McD's Jumpin' Livestock, or with his animals in the fenced area nearby.

### Personal life

McDonald was born on Day 4 of Spring. His ancestors have been raising animals on the lands of Portia since its founding, eventually being handed down to McDonald. McDonald slowly built his ranch to become the largest in Portia. McDonald had been married and had kids, but they eventually divorced; his ex-wife took the kids while he took the ranch.

McDonald dreams of one day becoming famous and opening up a restaurant, selling beef burger patties and fries.

### Physical appearance

McDonald wears a multi-pocketed navy vest over a white checkered button-up shirt, slightly worn blue jeans, a wide brown belt, and brown boots. He wears a wide sombrero-style hat hanging off his back.

### Related characters

McDonald's closest connection in Portia is his neighbor, Sophie, from the farm next door. He considers her a Buddy.

When befriending McDonald, his relationship network with other NPCs will also be affected, resulting in the player receiving favor points from those NPCs as well.

## Schedule

McDonald typically never leaves his ranch and can usually be found tending to his livestock or working in his farm store.

###  Chat

Chat is a basic social interaction available at any relationship level. Chatting with McDonald once a day can increase his relationship by 1 point, or 2 points with the Smooth Talk skill; subsequent chatting, on the same day, only results in the same conversation without any relationship gain.

McDonald's dialogue may change every day and every season. McDonald may also comment about certain events or missions. Higher relationship levels also change McDonald's dialogue.

###  Gift

Giving gifts to McDonald affects the player's relationship with McDonald. Every character has unique gift preferences.

**Tips:**

* Every giftable item, except for the items below, will have a Neutral (+1) effect when given to McDonald.
* Gifts given on festival days and on McDonald's birthday will earn the player 2x and 3x relationship points, respectively, and will show a unique dialogue.
* Values listed below are without *The Giver* skill, which gives an extra point.
* McDonald feels neutral about Animal Feces, unlike most who hate it

####  Desires

The following items are **desires**, or wishes, which are randomly assigned to one or two characters per week. The player is required to be at least at Associate level with McDonald for him to be assigned a desire. Some characters may desire an item that they do not normally like.

In the event that McDonald has a desire, gifting the wanted item will provide the higher tier points; otherwise, on non-desired events, the item gives the base point value. The birthday or festival day relationship bonus applies when gifting a desired item.

### Dates

####  Play

Once the player has become **buddies** with McDonald, they can schedule a play date together.

####  Dine

If the player chooses to dine at The Round Table with McDonald during a play date or date, it is recommended to order dishes he will like. If asked before ordering, McDonald will sometimes tell the player exactly which dishes to order; other times, he will just give little hints. In the event that McDonald does not specify the exact foods desired, the player should order between three and six dishes, depending on what hint he gives. It is recommended to order each of those dishes from different courses, ex. ordering one Appetizer, Meat, Vegetable, Dessert, and Drink course each, rather than five Desserts.

McDonald's food preferences are listed below. **The player is advised to use these preferences only when McDonald does not tell the player what to order.** If McDonald tells the player a list of dishes to order or gives a hint, it is advised to follow his wishes instead. The full restaurant menu can be found at The Round Table page.

* Likes Bowl of Rice
* Dislikes Sour Food and Juice

###  Relic trade

McDonald occasionally uses the Relic Pieces Exchange board at the Museum to trade for relic pieces. McDonald likes to look at particular completed relics, so after the player has donated such relics to the Museum or displayed them in their yard, McDonald may come visit the Museum or the player's yard to view these relics. Such visits will earn the player relationship points each time, with the amount dependent upon the relic.
