## Voice Actor

**Amira Syed** (38) is the town doctor. She's confident, stylish, and outgoing ... maybe the most magnetic person to ever walk this island.

Amira's taken quite an interest in how you're finding Fairhaven. While she loves treating patients, she also needs peace and quiet, which she finds in the woods. Amira also came here from the city.

She has been known to use work to avoid getting close to people, but she still wears a necklace that her ex gave her.

## About

Amira is known, from the very beginning, for her flirty personality! She lived in Tehran for a year.

She has an on again off again hook up with Peri but it’s tumultuous at best since they’re much alike and Peri has only really loved one human (Tara’s great aunt Vivian). Before Tara arrived Amira used to flirt with Kim but it doesn’t seem like Amira was as into Kim as Kim was into Amira. As soon as she meets Tara she’s smitten.

Though Kim is a romanceable character, they don’t really show romantic interest in Tara and will make a couple subtle jealous comments in regards to Amira’s interest in Tara. While Tara is dating Amira, Kim makes reference to seeing “Amira and Giva going by up the mountain wearing snow shoes together but don’t worry it’s not like she’ll ditch you for the cute new girl that moves to town”. Amira doesn’t show any signs of disloyalty when in a relationship with Tara.

## Schedule

On days that Amira is not working she can be found in a few different spots. On a bench next to The Bar, on a bench in the forest (where Shelby lives), or on the bench on the bridge to the lighthouse. She can also be seen exiting Peri’s house in Ravenwood Hollow some early mornings.

## Relationship Events

### Acquaintance

**Trigger:** After gaining one full heart, visit Amira while she is at work.

Tara: It’s been great so far! A lot of work, but great.
Amira: So tell me. I imagine you must have had many admirers back home. Did you leave anyone special behind when you left?
--[Choice: You’re more special]
-Tara: Honestly, no one I dated in the city is as special as they all seem to think they are. I find people here far more interesting. Like you.
-Amira: Hmmm, that’s a lot to live up to! But you’ll find I tend to rise to a challenge.
--[Choice: Yes, but it’s over]
-Tara: Yes actually, I was engaged. But it's over now.
-Amira: Well, your fiancé was a fool, whoever they were. But I think a much brighter love is in your future.
--[Choice: I’m not over it]
-Tara: Yes. I was engaged. It didn't work out. I'm still processing it, I guess.
-Amira: Don't dwell on it too long, that's my advice. You came here for a fresh start, you should embrace it!
Amira: I’ve gotten the impression that there are quite a few people in town who would like to get to know you better. I might have to fight them off to get some time with you!

### Casual Friend

**Trigger:** After gaining two full hearts, visit Amira standing by the lake in the Forest on any of her days off.

Tara: Oh? Sounds like you have more fun here than I do.
Amira: Haha, no, I just meant that there are some native plants here with good natural anti-inflammatory properties. So why are you in the woods today?
--[Choice: Looking for wildflowers]
-I've been looking for some wildflowers. But I think I've already found the most beautiful one.
-Amira: Oh my. You are a charmer, aren't you?
--[Choice: Visiting Shelby]
-Tara: Oh, I was just paying a visit to Shelby.
-Amira: Shelby understands that there’s a lot of peace to be found here. So do you, I see.
--[Choice: None of her business]
-Tara: ... Just taking a walk, do I really need a reason to be here?
-Amira: I suppose not. I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to pry.
Amira: Well, I want to be available to my patients whenever they need me, but sometimes I just need a quiet place to reflect. And for some reason, a lot of the people here seem to be wary of these woods, so it’s a good place to go for some space. Would you keep my secret spot to yourself? I have certain patients who will track me down every time they have a cough.
Tara: What secret spot?
Amira: Haha, thanks. I can tell you are an easy person to trust.

### Good Friend

**Trigger:** After gaining three full hearts, visit Francis' shop on a Friday from 9-5.

Amira: Oh, my ex gave it to me. What do you think, Tara? Am I crazy to still wear it?
--[Choice: Yes, it’s not beautiful enough]
--[Choice: No, it’s sentimental]
-Tara: Of course not. No one we once loved ever truly leaves our hearts.
-Francis: Aw, that’s beautiful. Now I feel bad for burning that nice shirt my ex gave me.
-Amira: You should! That’s just a crime against fashion.
--[Choice: Yes, time to move on]
-Tara: Yes. You need to make room in your heart for a new love.
-Francis: Hey. Everyone has to move on in their own time. And when that time comes, I will totally buy that necklace off of you.
-Amira: Thanks for the, um... moral support, Francis.
Amira: Oooh, look at those earrings. They would bring out the green in your eyes. Or maybe this ring instead? You have such graceful hands. Which do you prefer?
--[Choice: Rings]
-Tara: Usually I prefer rings only…
--[Choice: Earrings]
-Tara: Usually I prefer earrings only...
Tara: I’m putting all my spare income back into the farm at the moment, unfortunately. But they are really beautiful, Francis.

### Intimate Friend

**Trigger:** After gaining four full hearts, visit Amira at her clinic during working hours.

Tara: You do seem really busy.
Amira: One woman I dated said I use work as an excuse to not get close to anyone. She just didn’t understand the pressure!
--[Choice: Maybe it was her]
-Tara: Maybe you would have made the time if she was someone you really wanted to be with. I bet you'll open up when you find the right person.
-Amira: Oh, ouch. That's harsh — but probably true. I just wasn't that into her, I guess. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, but I do think I would commit to someone special.
--[Choice: Maybe take some time off]
-Tara: I think you should forget about making someone else happy until you’ve taken care of yourself a little bit. You’re working too hard.
-Amira: That’s a thoughtful point. I’m not really used to putting myself first, though!
--[Choice: Maybe your ex had a point]
Amira: Thanks for letting me vent. I feel like taking a day off soon, but like, a real day off, not paying bills and doing laundry. Maybe if you’re free, we could get a drink sometime?

### Dating

**Trigger:** After gaining five full hearts, visit Amira and she should have an exclamation point by her speech bubble.

Amira: I was hoping to run into you today.
Tara: Really? What’s up?
Amira: Well, I wanted to invite you to join me for dinner sometime.
Tara: Sure, I’d love that!
Amira: Perfect. I’ll arrange something intimate.
Amira: Oh my, it smells amazing in here! Sophia, I can’t wait to eat.
Sophia: It’s delicious, trust me!
Amira: But first, I don’t know if I can make it through this whole romantic meal if I don’t know how you feel. Tara, I can’t stop thinking about you. After Sahar – my ex from Tehran – ended things, I thought, there it goes. My only change at real romance. But then you moved here, and I fell for you even faster than I fell for Sahar. So there it is. I have said it, and now we can feast.
--[Choice: I feel the same way]
Tara: I can’t stop thinking about you, either. It makes farm chores really difficult when I’m, um, daydreaming about you.
Amira: Oh. Oh! That makes me so happy…
Sophia: This is better than watching daytime TV!
--[Choice: I don’t feel the same way]
Tara: I'm sorry, Amira. You're stunning, and I really like you, but I want to stay friends.
Amira: Friends? I was sure -- I must have misread. I've just remembered, I have to go call a cardiologist over in Milkwater. I better go.
Sophia: But the food!

### Partner

**Trigger:** After gaining six full hearts, visit Amira while she is at work. She will request five bolts of cloth in order to make you a gift. If she doesn't, make sure you figure out who Adept is first.

Tara: Amira! You made the cloth into a picnic blanket!
Amira: Yes! Come on, sit down with me, Tara-joon. I want to teach you a little something about Persian culture. Do you know what taarof is?
Tara: No, but I’ll listen to you explain anything.
Amira: Taarof is politeness. Extreme politeness. According to taarof, if you offer me a cup of tea, I have to turn it down at least a few times before I can accept. When I would go out to eat with my mom and her brothers, I sometimes thought they were going to get into a fistfight. And all for the right to pay for everyone’s food! I used to think taarof was silly. But now that I live far from my family… I think taarof can be beautiful. It’s like a delicate dance of care and gratitude. Here, let’s try it. Would you like some jewelry, azizam? It’s the piece you were admiring in Francis’ shop.
Tara: Oh! You would really – no, I can’t accept that!
Amira: Are you sure, moosh? I got this just for you. Because I adore you.
Tara: It’s as beautiful as I remember. But you should keep this for yourself.
Amira: Tara, my love, it would be my pleasure for you to have this.
Tara: Can I say ‘yes’ now?
Amira: Go ahead.
Tara: Yes! Oh my gosh! [Receive Stunning Emerald Ring/Earrings] Wait, did you call me ‘my love?’
Amira: Well, I – I love you.
Tara: I love you too, Amira. And… if I ask to kiss you, do you have to turn me down three times?
Amira: Let’s not and say we did.

### Engaged

**Trigger:** After gaining seven full hearts, and you have a wedding band, talk to Amira.

Tara: Amira, I have some jewelry I think you’ll really like…
Amira: What? Iron isn’t usually my style, but this… oh, Moosh!
Tara: I know you’re busy being a doctor, but do you have time to make an honest doctor’s wife out of me?
Amira: Nothing would make me happier. Could our celebration be a simple one? And fast, too? I don’t want to wait!
Tara: I was hoping you would say that. Next week?
Amira: Perfect. I’ll set everything up at Town Hall!

### Spouse

**Trigger:** Seven days after proposing, the wedding ceremony will take place in the woods.

Tara: Even if your face was covered in mascara, you’d take my breath away.
Mayor Otto: I am honored today to preside over the wedding of one of our town’s most esteemed residents…
Tara: Aww, shucks…
Mayor Otto: to this farmer girl. Amira, do you take Tara to be your wife?
Amira: Oh, yes.
Damon: You don’t have to keep seducing her, Amira! She’s already marrying you!
Mayor Otto: Hush! Hush! Tara, do you take Amira to be your wife?
Tara: Yes!
Mayor Otto: I now pronounce you married! I wish you both the love and loyalty I have with my darling Vanessa.
Amira: I’ll give you much, much more than that, Moosh.
Tara: Shhh, don’t let them hear!
