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

Elliott is a villager who lives on the beach south of Pelican Town. He's one of the ten characters available to marry.

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.

Four Hearts

Enter the Saloon after 5PM on Monday, Wednesday, or Sunday (possibly on other days, too.) Gus says he'll take your order in a moment. Before he gets to you, Elliott walks into the building and says it's a pleasant surprise to find you here. He says that he's stopping in to relax after eight hours of writing and he orders two ales, one for you and one for him.

You stop him before he can drink and propose a toast. You can choose from four different toasts: Pelican Town, your friendship, your good health, or his doom. You both drink and he starts dancing where he is. Then the cutscene ends and you're left outside the door of the Saloon with a tipsy effect.

Six Hearts

Enter Elliot's home after 10 a.m when he's inside. There will be a cutscene of him playing piano. After he finishes, you can either say "That was wonderful." or "How long have you been playing?". Elliott will then get up and start talking to you about how hard his life is at the moment, and how he wishes he could just be a farmer like you. You can either say "Farming isn't so easy, you know" or "How about you join me on the farm?". If you choose to tell him to join you, he is very surprised and thanks you for the offer, but his novel is almost complete, so he couldn't.

Eight Hearts

The day after you reach 8 hearts with Elliott, you will receive a letter in the mail from him saying that he finally finished his book, and that he's doing a reading at the library that afternoon. He hopes you'll be able to make it. Go to the Archaeologist's office after 1 PM, and you will enter a cutscene. Everyone in town came to the library to listen to Elliott's first book reading. Elliott walks up to you and expresses his delight at you coming to listen. Then he begins to read. After he finally finishes reading, he thanks everyone for coming. Then, he walks up to you, asking how you think it went. He tells you that he's glad you liked it, because he dedicated it to you and he based it off of your favorite genre of book.

Ten Hearts

After you reach 10 hearts with Elliott, you will receive a letter in the mail from him, saying that he has an idea. Go to the beach on a sunny morning (before 12 PM?), and you will join Elliott on the docks. Elliott fixed the row boat that has been on the docks, and he was wondering if you wanted to go with him on a "maiden voyage". You can choose whether or not you want to get in the boat. If you do get in the boat, Elliott talks to you about his novel, and how he couldn't have done it without you. Then, he's at a loss for words for how he feels about you. Suddenly, he kisses you! You begin trembling. You can choose to respond with "I'm happy." or "You're making very uncomfortable. Stop." You two head back to shore, and Elliott comments on how the valley finally looks like home.

Marriage

3 days after you give Elliott the Mermaid pendant, you will get married to Elliott in the town square. Elliott wears a gray suit. After the ceremony ends, you return to your home. Elliott will be inside, and a new addition will be added to the east end of your home. Elliott's end of the house will have a mini-library, and other various decor.
