In the charming world of *Fields of Mistria*, building your farm is only half the adventure; nurturing relationships with the town's residents, especially Juniper, adds a delightful layer to your journey. If you're aiming to deepen your bond with Juniper and perhaps explore a romantic path, understanding her preferences for gifts is crucial. Here's your comprehensive guide to winning her heart through thoughtful gifting.
How to Romance a Character in Fields of Mistria
In *Fields of Mistria*, while you can build friendships with nearly everyone, romance is a special connection reserved for a select group of 11 NPCs, including the intriguing Caldarus, as introduced in the v0.13.0 update. Each romanceable character has a heart meter that reflects your relationship status, which you can influence through your interactions.
To foster a romantic connection with a specific NPC, consistent interaction is key. Start by **engaging in daily conversations** with them. These chats can be seamlessly woven into your daily routines around town. Additionally, fulfilling their requests posted on the town board not only helps the community but also boosts their affection towards you.
Gifting is another essential aspect of building relationships. You can give **one gift per day**, choosing items that the NPC particularly enjoys or loves. These preferences vary from one character to another and can be sourced through gathering or crafting. Remember, a gift on their birthday, especially one they love, can significantly increase their heart meter.
Currently, NPC heart meters max out at **six hearts**. Upon reaching this level, a cutscene will suggest the beginnings of a romance, though not a fully developed one yet. According to the game’s roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring that your romantic endeavors in Mistria have a promising future.

Juniper, a key romanceable character in *Fields of Mistria*, manages the bathhouse in the northeastern part of town and is often on the hunt for unique witchcraft ingredients.
