**Heine** (Japanese: ハイネ, *Haine***?**) is a party character in *Harvestella*. He is a flirtatious and handsome mechanic and creator of the submarine, *Fiasola*.

## Biography

Heine is a  Mechanic. Heine constructed a submarine, naming it the  Fiasola. He allows the  Protagonist and  Aria use of The Fiasola get to the Coral Shrine.

## Appearance

Heine is a young man with shoulder-length blond hair and green eyes. He is described as being handsome in appearance. He wears a red coat adorned with all sorts of gold jewelry, and black leggings. He is said to be one of the older party members, described as being a "mature adult" by Yasushi Hasegawa, the game's lead character designer.

## Personality

Heine is described as being flirtatious. He will flirt with any woman he sees as beautiful, regardless if it's appropriate for the situation or not, but ends up dropping the act or losing interest rather quickly. He has been chided by the Shatolla Bartender for this, who later reveals that Heine did not always act this way and was once a very serious and studious inventor. Heine describes himself as being a romanticist, his personality reflecting this in his outlook on life and his relationships with the people he meets.

## Main Story

The Protagonist meets him at one point in Lethe. They and Aria later come to Shatolla to request for the use of his submarine to get to the Summer Seaslight. Emo joins them once Heine learns of the landlord's plan to sell her. After the group defeat Lorelei, Heine retrieve Emo's stone (which she needs in order to talk to humans) and contract from the landlord by trading some rare stones for it and gives it back to her, regaining her ability to speak, while the contract is torn up by the Bartender (which sets her free) before he and Aria return to the Seaslight for investigation. He and Emo then join the Protagonist in their quest.

## Character Story

"**Heine's Story**" is the Character Story for **Heine** in **Harvestella**.

Heine was once a very serious and reserved inventor who had a rivalry with another inventor,  Fiasola. Fiasola was a siren who had taken up inventing to test the limits and search for proof that humanity once explored the ocean depths. Heine and Fiasola were rival inventors, Fiasola always encouraging him to press his limits as an inventor. Before her disappearance, Fiasola encouraged Heine to take on a serious partner, whether it was a romantic one or not, and learn to open his heart.

After her disappearance, Heine is no less a serious inventor, but taking Fiasola's advice, he begins flirting with every woman he meets, including Aria and the Protagonist (if female). He later begins to open up to the Protagonist, explaining his past with Fiasola and why he named his submarine after her. His main ambition aside from building and researching new inventions is to locate Fiasola, who disappeared on a deep sea adventure in her own submarine, and find out what happened to her. They eventually find a message that explains her discovery, leaving it unclear whether she is still alive or not.

## Letters

#### An invitation to my grand presentation!

I feel we got off on the wrong foot when we first met, so I'm sending you this letter to thank you for all your help with Lorelei. And also to offer an update in the world of your favorite legendary inventor.

I will be holding a presentation and would love for you to participate. I promise you won't be disappointed, so please stop by the atelier! I look forward to seeing you.

#### Apologies and thanks.

I fear I embarrassed myself during my presentation and let the children down in the process. I must strive to do better to earn back their trust and for the sake of their dreams.

Anyway, I would like to repay you for your assistance with the presentation. Perhaps a delicious meal at Shatolla's bar will suffice? Come meet me there in the evening.

I look forward to seeing you.

#### The list of materials I mentioned prior.

I have completed the list of materials I require for your perusal. Please bring me 2 Silver Ore from the Silent Cave to the atelier.

I suppose I also owe you another apology for worrying you. I explained everything to the bartender and all is well.

I will ensure it does not happen again.

#### Fiasola.

Sorry to keep you waiting. I believe I am finally ready to tell you everything about Fiasola.

Please visit the atelier when it suits you.

#### Thank you for everything.

With your assistance, I have finally completed my modifications to the Fiasola. I cannot thank you enough. Without you there's no imagining how long this would have taken me to do alone.

Once we have prepared the necessary supplies, it will finally be time to head to the ocean floor. We should be able to catch up to her now.

Thanks again for everything.

#### The inspection has been completed.

My inspection of the sea floor is complete, and we should now be able to proceed once again. Won't you come to the atelier when you are ready and join me on my voyage to the ocean deep? Don't leave this long or I may have to make it a solo voyage. The lady Fiasola waits for no one, after all.

I jest, of course... I will wait as long as you need.

#### Fiasola's memories.

Fiasola is no longer here...

It appears that this fact was far more damaging than I had cared to realize. As a result, it took a great deal of time to go through the items she left behind. But I have finished, and I am sorry to have kept you waiting.

There's something I would like to tell you. I will be waiting at my atelier.

#### A dinner invitation.

Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but my investigation is finally complete. There is so much I wish to tell you that it could fill an entire afternoon...so I thought we could perhaps discuss it all over a meal.

It has been a while since I last patronized the Shatolla bar and thought it fitting that we should meet there. I look forward to seeing you.

#### A new and improved grand presentation!

Thank you for listening to me the other day. With your help, I have come to a renewed conclusion regarding Fiasola and I know how to move forward. But that is not where my story ends.

No, in fact, I will soon be holding another presentation! This will be a fresh start, and of course, your participation is welcome.

Please join me in my atelier at your convenience.

#### My dearly beloved...

I've grown quite accustomed to sending you these letters. I never would have believed we would spend this much time together when we first met.

I am continuing on as an inventor. Just like Fiasola, I will pathe the path for our generation and for the children of the next.

And with you at my side, every step of the way. Let us walk this road to the future, together.

## Trivia

* Besides being a skilled mechanic, Heine is also an expert pilot as he was able to drive the Fiasola and Dianthus's airship with little to no difficulty.
* Heine is acrophobic, expressing a fear of heights in the segment of the game surrounding the Space Elevator Vergilius.
* It is possible to interpret Heine as being on the aromantic spectrum. When Fiasola suggested Heine get a partner, she goes out of her way to express that it doesn't have to be a romantic one. During that same flashback, Heine specifies that he sees no innate point in having a partner and that he'd rather spend his free time inventing. Despite this, he considered Fiasola to be an irreplaceable companion to him, even if their partnership wasn't romantic. When you choose Heine to be your life partner, he goes on about how he took Fiasola's advice to heart, only gaining that flirtatious nature because she advised it would improve his life.
