Villagers

Characters in Volcano Princess that the Player Character can interact with in several ways.

## Social

### Villager Interaction

1. Chat: Converse with the villager to gain a small amount of favorability with them.
2. Spend patience points: Players have 3 patience points per turn, and 1 patience point will be consumed for performing specific interactions with villagers.
	* Consult: Ask for advice from a villager to gain 10, 15, or 20 points towards a random Attribute (STR, INT, EMO, IMG) and gain 3 Perception points.
	* Challenge: beat this villager in a duel or debate to win an item from them
		+ Duel: Decided by the player's combat attributes
		+ Debate: Decided by the player's: mind, subject scores, and eloquence.
3. Gift: gain favorability with that villager, the amount is dependent upon the gift level, and each villager has their own set of favorite items.

### Relationship Level

Relationships with the villagers is divided into 4 levels: stranger, acquaintance, friend, and best friend.

Different villagers need different amounts of favorability points to reach each level. Favorability is represented by a heart; 10 hearts is the maximum value you can earn per single interaction.

The Villager Panel is sorted by the amount of favorability points you've earned with each villager.

### Chit-chat

Villagers will react to the player character when they perform an action within the scene, that villager must be at least an acquaintance to the player character. Villagers may also increase their favorability with the player character if you are performing an action they enjoy.

### Dating

Player can go on a date with villagers who have reached the friend relationship level. Choices made during the date will determine the atmosphere value of the date. You will also get an extra chance to give gifts during the date, which can also increase the atmosphere value.

### Goodwill Event

After reaching a new relationship level with villagers and meeting their specific attribute conditions, a goodwill event will be triggered. The following month the villager will invite you to spend time together, which you can choose to accept or decline. After a rejection, the villager will not pursue further. If you are unsure as to whether you want to marry a villager or not, you are only locked into marriage to the villager you ahve completed the third goodwill event for and the villager with the highest favorability.

### Letters from Villagers

After reaching a higher relationship status with villagers, you will receive letters from them, each letter will come with a special book. Additionally, you are able to respond to their letters to potentially gain 2 or 4 favorability with that character.
