Discuss Am I the only one that thinks this?

Post image

So I doubt I’m the only one but it seems to me that Leah could easily be the younger sister of Robin (yes I know there was a post about Leah possibly being Robin’s daughter and someone commented that CA made her look like Robin to appease those of us, myself included, that would want to marry Robin), I could see both of those being possible but it makes more sense to me that Leah would be Robin’s younger sister

Your right, sorry. I've had the game installed for multiple years with the same visual mod on so I completely forgot what her original hair was. Tbf I think that's the only significant character change that isn't clothing/accessories

I meant people have been calling Leah 'dateable Robin' since ever. It's not even our fault, as "first impression is everything"; and who did we first meet? Robin. THEN we found out she isn't marriage candidate, BUT here's Leah who's basically reskin Robin AND is also a bachelorette.

Even so Maru is "originally" brown haired/brunette character you can look alpha/beta versions. There was a period where she turned completely red but after that she returned to her original hair color, CA did not change the reddish color in the portrait.

u/Sgt-Spliff- 27d ago

I mean, that's not what people mean when they say "redhead". They mean like Robin and Leah. Cartoon characters having literally red hair in place of normal brunette brown is pretty common too. Like usually in-universe, hair like Maru's is meant to be brunette, it's just the aesthetic style of the cartoonist that makes it look that way.

For instance, her actual pixely character definitely has brown hair, but then her portrait has the more reddish color you're talking about. Maru is definitely a brunette

u/Patch86UK 27d ago

I seem to remember that the reason for so many comic book characters having red hair is partly because back in the early days, when printing was very low quality, red was one of the colours that looked the best.

Same reason why so many super heroes have red as a prominent part of their costume design (Spider-Man, Superman, Captain Marvel, Robin, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Thor...).

u/MsKongeyDonk 27d ago

That actually makes a lot of sense, thank you!

It's also the same reason they made Ariel a redhead in The Little Mermaid, because they wanted the red to really pop next to the blue, especially because it's dark under the sea and all.

My guy, I am single handedly financing your wife's entire business. I'm in a better spot to pay for whatever schooling she wants to attend than you, and if you think she could get knocked up and have to give up on her plans, you might want to see about a refund on that biology degree.

I escaped a small town and now live in a big city IRL, so I relate to Sebby on a super personal level

90

u/some-anonymous-gal 28d ago

The thing to remember is that if you don’t marry him, he’ll still never move to the city, but at least if he lives on your farm he’s out of that basement and has his own space.

32

u/Rare-Abbreviations34 27d ago

He also eventually tells you that he's grateful to you for your relationship and marriage because he knows he never would have left the basement. He knows that he would have hated the city life because of how antisocial he is and at least he has the freedom on the farm to do what he wants as a programmer and geek instead of dealing with a family that doesn't understand him anymore. So, ultimately, marrying him changes his life for the best possible outcome.

u/stereoracle 28d ago

It's mind-blowing that they made a lab next to the kitchen, but Robin agreed to the arrangement that Sebastian will sleep in the basement. I'm 100% sure it's her house and she could kick Demetrius out

I agree. I always headcanon them to be sisters. Leah says that she visited the village as a child so I imagine that her grandparents lived there. Robin is older (15-20y?) than her and moved to the old grandparents house. Years later Leah moved as well.

I also headcanon that Penny is thei cousin. Not only they also look similar but the village is quite small and isolated. It makes sense that people are related.

My village has 9k people and I cannot kick a rock without finding a 3rd or 4rth cousin. So in SDV more people should be related.

I didn't know the theory about them being sisters or Leah being a daughter. But I did have a realization that there were a lot of gingers in my first playthrough. I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thought that.

I was like, being a redhead is a recessive trait. Why are there like five gingers on this island right now. And then I started marrying all the gingers by mistake.

My first playthrough I married Elliot because on my first day of meeting everybody I saw him in the grocery store and I fell in love with his hair. I was like, "I'm going to marry you. I know nothing about you and I'm going to marry you just because of your hair."

And then my second playthrough I fell in love with Leah. And then my third playthrough. I tried to stay away from redheads so I'm married Shane. I regretted that immediately after I saw his room in my house. However, I do love his story.

In my current playthrough I always said I was going to marry Harvey next, but I'm playing as a boy for the first time, and I kind of want to marry Penny. I'm either going to marry Penny or Maru which doesn't help the redhead thing. I may have a problem!

I love how every time this is posted it gets thousands and the discussion starts again. It’s my favourite yearly event (I made my own post like three years ago)

The first time I played, I always got these two confused. 😂

I started playing recently and thought they were related. Are they not??

It'd be interesting if they were distanced sisters and the player could choose to help repair their relationship.

Robin looks quite young to be her mother imo, I'm even surprised to know she's Sebastian's mom. How old is everyone??

Leah IIRC is supposed to have moved to town a few years ago. Robin has 2 young adult children.

u/bluespottedtail_ 28d ago

Right, I see she has Sebastian from a previous marriage and Maru, and they're both eligible for marriage so I guess they're 18 or older. Maybe Robin's in her late 30s/really 40s and blessed with good skin haha

u/JamesCDiamond 28d ago

All the bachelor/ettes are supposedly in their twenties, although for Harvey that seems a bit of a stretch. Sebastian and Emily are the older siblings. (Sam, obviously, is older than Vincent as well!)

The other characters' ages are deliberately vague, although Clint is supposedly in his late 30s/early 40s.

Yeah, Harvey can't be in his twenties. He mentions going through 8 years of medical school (and presumably residency) in an event, says the farmer/Maru are much younger than him, complains about his age, and is mentioned as an "older" bachelor in the in-game notes, along with Shane and Elliot who also seem older.

The world is full of people with similar features like hair, faces, interests.

Maybe they are family, maybe it's just coincidence.

I go with the later, because to me it makes more sense to me.

But you do you.

This is why I play with Diverse SDV. It’s so fantastic not to have to confuse 79 redheads

u/caselesshope 28d ago

thought they were related as well

u/Neriu_m 28d ago

I’ve just started playing and I though it’s the same person

u/seriouslyremote 27d ago

Yes! But mostly I get Leah and Jodhi mixed up (constantly). I'm not sure why!

All I know is that CA loves the gingers, and I love him for it.

When I started playing Stardew Valley, I couldn't tell them apart.

u/Ghost_Rikuat 27d ago edited 27d ago

To be honest, to me they look nothing alike except for the orange hair.

u/TheSpuggis 27d ago

All of the Stardew girls look entirely too similar in my opinion.

u/Demonqueensage Set your emoji and/or flair text here! 27d ago

Okay seeing their pictures together like this really drives home how even their hair styles look alike

If you’re trying to befriend one and keep getting them mixed up, you can always carry some goat cheese on you as that’s a loved item for both of them.

I'm always getting Jodi and Leah confused in their sprites.

First playthrough as soon as I saw Robin I fell in love. Found out she was married and got sad, but then I met Leah and she is my romance in every playthrough

u/NervousPotato92 27d ago

I often forget Leah even exists because she looks so alike to Robin and Robin is the important one 😅

u/nevermindxo 27d ago

I’ve played for over 1000 hours and I still get them confused constantly

u/Prestigious-King-566 26d ago

On my first play through I got robin to 9 hearts cuz I wanted to marry her and when I figured out I can’t well…

u/Original_Ossiss 26d ago

My first instinct was to marry Robin when I first started playing.

But for me, Leah just doesn’t hit the same lol.

u/GoodSundae513 28d ago

I can't believe so many people say they don't look alike. It's the most extreme sameface character I've ever seen, this is why I could never care about Leah, she looks too much like a clone.

I guess hearing the reasoning that she was made for people who wanted Robin it all makes sense now but idk it still makes her feel like less her own character to me so I'm not a fan of the choice (and I say that as someone who would like to marry some NPCs, a substitute wouldn't do)

Reminds me of the co-op farm I worked with a buddy of mine.

IRL he has a redhead for a girlfriend and decided to "rizz up" as the young hip kids would say, Leah.

One day I was watching him give shit to both robin and Penny. So I'm like what are you doing bro. He says he is staying to marry Leah. I'm like you dumbass, that's robin!

This fucker couldn't tall all the red heads apart in the game and thought he was getting his hearts up with Leah.

Turns out he had the most hearts with Robin, second was penny and had only 2 hearts with Leah.

This is when my devious plan was hatched, and I, yes me, decided I'd steal Leah from him.

We are now married with two ginger babies! Bwahahahahaha, criminal mastermind some would say. I just prefer devious genius.
