Maru's Schedule

  • Morning: at home in the Mountains, in the house attached to Robin's Carpenter Shop.
  • Clinic days: works as a nurse alongside Harvey at the medical clinic in town.
  • Evening: tinkers with her inventions or stargazes through her telescope.
  • Ginger Island: once the resort is open she may spend a sunny day there (never Tuesdays, Thursdays or festival days).

Maru Heart Events

  • Earlier hearts: glimpses of Maru's science projects and life with Demetrius, Robin and her brother Sebastian.
  • 10 hearts: her two-part event - meet her at the farmhouse by day, then under the stars in the Mountains at night.
Reach the heart level, then enter the relevant area to trigger each scene.

Marrying Maru

Maru is one of the twelve marriage candidates. To propose, reach 10 hearts and give her a Mermaid's Pendant (bought from the Old Mariner on the beach, southwest of the bridge, on rainy days).
  • After the wedding Maru moves into the farmhouse and adds her own room.
  • She sets up a small workshop behind the house where she tinkers with gadgets, and will sometimes leave you a helpful item.
