Stardew Valley - Character Hub

Each Stardew Valley character has their own life and personality, so when you arrive in Pelican Town to rebuild your grandfather's farm, you'll want to start interacting with them. Most importantly, you'll want to build your own relationships with them. Therefore we've created this handy guide to give you all the information you could need about the NPCs of Stardew Valley.

All Stardew Valley characters and their ages

Stardew Valley characters' ages all remain the same, no matter how many years your farm is active. However, we only have approximations for their true ages, so we've compiled them into the handy table below.

Age

Character

Age	Character
Over 55	Mayor Lewis, George, Evelyn, Linus, Rasmodius the Wizard
Over 40	Pam, Gus, Pierre, Demetrius, Kent, Jodi, Clint, Robin, Caroline, Marnie, Willy
28-35	Harvey, Emily, Sandy, Shane, Leah, Elliott,
19-24	Sam, Maru, Alex, Sebastian, Penny, Abigail, Haley

What is the best character to marry in Stardew Valley?

A number of these NPCs are actually eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. The community of Stardew Valley is void of any sexual orientation or preference, meaning you can therefore marry whomever you want. Provided you can persuade them to, of course.

Each Stardew Valley character comes with their own room at your farmhouse, and this means they also offer certain perks to you and your farm once they become your spouse. So it depends on your playstyle and the things you have a greater need for when deciding who to marry. Alternatively, you could of course just marry and divorce everyone in quick succession. We've created a handy table below that details what marriage with each NPC looks like.

All character locations

Stardew Valley characters all live their own lives in their own homes. However, some family units live together, and some have their own places. So we've created a handy table below that details where in the valley your NPCs live, as well as their frequent hang-out spots. Additionally, you can view the town on the map and hover your cursor over each house, so that it gives you the address.

Stardew Valley character birthdays

Each character in ConfusedApe's infamous farming RPG has a birthday that can be celebrated with a gift. In short, this works wonders if you're trying to build up your friendship status with someone, or if you're trying to woo them enough to get them down the aisle. But since there are so many NPCs to keep track of, so it's worth keeping an eye on when their birthdays are approaching.
