The short answer
The 12 romance candidates are Adeline, Balor, Caldarus, Celine, Eiland, Hayden, Juniper, March, Reina, Ryis, Seridia, and Valen. Every candidate is available regardless of the player character’s gender. Olric is not romanceable.

Gift points: birthday versus an ordinary day
A loved birthday gift adds 40 friendship points and a liked birthday gift adds 30. On an ordinary day, those gifts add 20 and 10 points respectively. A birthday is therefore the best time to use a hard-to-find favorite, but a steady daily routine still matters more than waiting all year for one date.
| Gift reaction | Ordinary day | Birthday |
|---|---|---|
| Loved | +20 friendship | +40 friendship |
| Liked | +10 friendship | +30 friendship |
These values describe the cited gift reactions. They do not establish every possible friendship source, daily limit or route rule, so this page does not extrapolate beyond them.
From friendship to marriage
Romance begins inside the normal friendship system rather than on a separate meter. Talk to the person, give gifts, and complete their heart events as they unlock. The 8-heart event is the important fork for many candidates: the romantic response begins dating, while the platonic response keeps the relationship as friendship.
Version 1.0 raises relationships to 10 hearts and adds proposal events, weddings, marriage, and children. Reach the dating route before planning a proposal, then follow that character’s 10-heart progression instead of assuming every candidate shares the same event location or story gate. Caldarus and Seridia are especially story-sensitive.
Marriage and children in 1.0
Children are part of the completed 1.0 relationship arc, not an Early Access promise. They come after marriage, so there is no useful shortcut that skips the candidate’s heart route and proposal sequence. If your save began before 1.0, you can continue it; you do not need a fresh farm just to reach the new relationship content.
The child stage is better treated as a continuation of married life than as a separate optimization problem. Choose the candidate whose story you actually want to finish, keep a few favorite gifts on hand, and let the heart events set the pace.
