🌺 Character introduction

Leilani is an adorable character from the Ridge Village mod! She is Cathy's mother and Pika's wife. Leilani is from Ember Island in the Fern Islands (like her husband!) and works out of the valley most of the year, but returns every summer to be with her family.

🎯 Features

🌞 Seasonal Characters

• Leilani only appears in the summer, adding seasonal variation to the game
• Option to make her an antisocial NPC (not shown in heart menu, unable to give gifts, etc.)
• Challenge Mode: Try to build and maintain a fulfilling relationship with an NPC that only appears a quarter of the time each year!

📅 Installation suggestions

Can be installed in any season, but a season other than summer makes the most sense since she won't appear in Ridge Village and Pelican Town until after the introductory event five days before summer.
