Bearnard

* Neutral
* Pleased
* Displeased

**Bearnard** is a farmer in Louise Hill. He is described as middle aged for a bear and is especially passionate about turnips. He owns the lower left house on the map and is the first NPC to be encountered.

## Personality

Bearnard is a bit of a lone ranger that has a hard time asking for help. He's adamant that he can manage the farm by himself even when it becomes overbearing for him.

He loves being a farmer and there’s nothing in the world that makes him more happy than turnips. Although he enjoys desserts and other vegetables, "nothings beats a turnip".

## Background

When Bearnard was a cub he had nowhere to go. The leader of Louise Hill took him in. When they moved away, Bearnard took over the farm. According to Bearnard, they weren't great at being a leader, so them leaving didn't make much of a difference. He rarely talks about them.

## Relationships

Buli's thieving and dishonest tendencies has made for a strained neighbour dynamic with Bearnard. He wishes for her to stop stealing his turnips but does not want to be too firm on her.

## Chance Machine

Some of the items that Bearnard wears can be found in his Chance Machine, "Bearnard's Farmer Stall," along with an assortment of other items.

One spin costs 300 . Every 3,000 potatoes spent in this shop will let you pick one item for free from the pool of bonus prizes.

## Affection Milestones

Bearnard will send you letters after reaching certain Affection milestones.

Thanks for always being so kind to me, it's not every day you see such generosity. When I was a young'un, I'm not sure if I was so well behaved to be honest. How a steady farm life can change you. Anyways, let me return the favour a little!
Wishing you the best,
Hope you're doing well, if you have a bit of time will you stop by my farm? I have a favour to ask of you, no worries if you can't!
Hurriedly yours,
Thanks for all of your help over this past while! I was rummaging around my storage shed today and found some of these, I don't need them so here you go!
 Oh, hello!
My favourite world hopper. I thought you were odd at first, but before I knew it, we had become fast friends. I'd like you to have this, it's something I've had with me for a long time, maybe you'd have better use for it than I would. Thanks for always being such a great bud.
With lots of love,
 Hello, world-hopper!
I got to thinking about the first time we met. Found you by the side of the road, memory-less! Well, you've made plenty of memories since, I hope. And then you made one of my turnips up and go! They still do that. The turnips, I mean. Sprout legs and everything since new world-hoppers are always cropping up from time to time. Maybe you can offer them some advice and leave a simple farmer some turnips at the end of the day.
All the places you've been and you still come back here to give me a helping hand. How about it? Taken an interest in farming yourself? If you're worried about animating all your crops, you can start with a small plot. While you're out traveling, I'll watch over it for you. When you come back and visit me, you can tend to your little garden—borrow a bit of the farming life, get yourself on stable footing before you next head out. I wouldn't mind it if you set down some roots here, you know.
And don't worry about creating more work for me! I've got plenty of hands stopping by. Sometimes the ol' farmhand offers to help, though I don't think I've ever seen him at work. And Paws, of course. And anyway, as long as you keep coming back, how could it be trouble?
Visit soon,
Bearnard

Don't think I haven't noticed you rummaging around in my turnip farm. You've been running all amuck making a mess. If it's turnips you need, just take these and stay out of my farm.

 Hello.

Still rummaging though my fields! Don't deny it, I've seen you out and about among my turnips. I don't think you're even looking to steal turnips anymore, just trouble.

 You again!

Still trying to steal trouble? Don’t you make enough of it all on your own? It’s probably my fault, they say if you feed a stray it keeps coming back. Well! You can keep coming back if you like, but I’m going to start building the fences higher so you at least can’t wiggle around and make a mess of my fields.

## Daily Quests

A total of three daily quests, also called errands, can be completed for Bearnard each day. The order and kind of quests are randomized. For more information see Daily Quests: Louise Hill.

## Chit Chat

Chit-chatting with a NPC will give you a maximum of +1 Affection per day. They will repeat the same sentences over and over but it’s a nice way of getting to know a bit more about Dappervolk and its inhabitants.

**Low Affection:**

* *"Have you spoken to any of the other villagers in Louise Hill? Why don’t you go try chatting with some other people?"*
* *"Let me know if you see Buli or anyone else sneaking around in the turnip fields. I’ll catch who’s stealing my turnips one of these days."*
* *"Can you come back later to talk? I have to go work in the fields some more."*
* *"Farming is a lot of work! But it sure is worth it for these delicious turnips."*
* *"You enjoying your stay in Louise Hill? Of course you are."*
* *"My turnip harvests just aren’t adding up… I hope Buli hasn’t been stealing them again!"*
* *"I don’t know much about anywhere beyond Louise Hill. But it sure is peaceful here."*
* *"I hope you world-hoppers won’t be causing too much of a disturbance around here. Louise Hill is usually nice and quiet."*
* *"I hope I can get a good enough turnip harvest before winter comes around. If they keep vanishing we might be in trouble."*

**High Affection:**

* *"What are you up to? Make sure you’re taking care of your pets!"*
* *"Nice day isn't it? Hope you're having a good one, kick back and relax."*
* *"How are you, my friend? I made a wonderful turnip broth the other night, you should come by for dinner sometimes!"*
* *"Turnips can be made into so many different kinds of food… Maybe next I’ll try making turnip bread!"*
