## Profile

### Personal summary

Liuwa was born on Day 16 of Autumn. He is the reclusive, sixth oldest of the Hulu brothers. Liuwa often takes the odd jobs around town, such as standing guard in front of Amber Island's Cave entrance.

### Physical appearance

Liuwa, like all of his brothers, is a rather rotund man. He has short, dark hair under a blue bucket hat with a dark blue headband. He wears glasses with blue and green frames perched on his hat, and he has a full beard. He wears his blue sweater vest emblazoned with the trademark calabash gourd and Hulu name over the top of a cyan short-sleeved shirt with dark blue stripes on each sleeve. His orange shorts are patterned with yellow hearts, and he has pink shoes on over his yellow socks.

### Related characters

Liuwa has lots of family members in Portia, including his grandmother, Yeye; his older brothers, Dawa, Erwa, Sanwa, Siwa, and Wuwa; and his younger brother, Qiwa.

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

## Schedule

Before finishing the bridge commission quest he can be seen running from the town to the Portia Harbor in the early morning.
After finishing the bridge commission quest he stays in front of Amber Island's cave.

After the South Block Trade Post is unlocked, he is hanging around in the Yeye's Motel.

## Relationship

Liuwa is one of the potential bachelors that the player can romance.

Upon reaching Friend status at four full hearts, the player can confess their love to him with a Heart Knot. If the confession is successful, his relationship status changes to Boyfriend. After Liuwa has become the player's boyfriend, upon reaching Lover status at eight full hearts, the player can then propose to him with a Wedding Ring. If the proposal is successful, his relationship status changes to Husband. Once certain other conditions have been met, Liuwa and the player can then try for children.

Additionally, upon meeting certain relationship levels, certain perks are rewarded.

###  Chat

Chat is a basic social interaction available at any relationship level. Chatting with Liuwa 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.

Liuwa's dialogue may change every day and every season. Liuwa may also comment about certain events or missions. Higher relationship levels, including romantic involvement, also change Liuwa's dialogue.

###  Gift

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

**Tips:**

* Every giftable item, except for the items below, will have a Neutral (+1) effect when given to Liuwa.
* Gifts given on festival days and on Liuwa'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.

####  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 Liuwa for him to be assigned a desire. Some characters may desire an item that they do not normally like.

In the event that Liuwa 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

####  Invitation

Occasionally, first thing in the morning, the player may leave their house to find Liuwa outside, hoping to invite the player out for a date or play date.

####  Play

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

####  Date

After the player has successfully confessed how they feel to Liuwa, the player can schedule a romantic date with Liuwa.

####  Dine

If the player chooses to dine at The Round Table with Liuwa during a play date or date, it is recommended to order dishes he will like. If asked before ordering, Liuwa will sometimes tell the player exactly which dishes to order; other times, he will just give little hints. In the event that Liuwa 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.

Liuwa's food preferences are listed below. **The player is advised to use these preferences only when Liuwa does not tell the player what to order.** If Liuwa 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 Bitter Food
* Dislikes Sour Food and Salty Food

###  Interact

As the player develops their relationship with Liuwa, special interactions are unlocked, including **Hug** and **Kiss**.

###  Relic trade

Liuwa occasionally uses the Relic Pieces Exchange board at the Museum to trade for relic pieces. Liuwa likes to look at particular completed relics, so after the player has donated such relics to the Museum or displayed them in their yard, Liuwa 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.
