Elliott

“	“Elliott lives alone in a cabin on the beach. He is a writer who dreams of one day writing a magnificent novel. He is a sentimental “romantic” with a tendency to go off onto flowery, poetic tangents. When he can afford it, he enjoys a strong beverage at the saloon. Could a humble farmer such as yourself be the inspiration Elliott is looking for? There’s only one way to find out…”
	— Dev Update #12

Heart Events

Two Hearts

Enter Elliott's cabin after 10AM while he is still in his cabin. Elliott will greet you, then start talking about how he came to Pelican Town to become a writer, but no one from his hometown believed he could make it. He then asks you what kind of novels you like (Choose between Mystery, Romance, and Sci-fi), and says that he will remember your choice. Then, he asks you if you know anything about plants, and if you can look at his rose because he thinks it may be wilting.
