We got part 1 of the Q&A for Andrea:
BIG NEWS FROM HILLSVILLE!
New Bachelorette Spotted in the Valley

Good morning, fellow newshounds! Naomi here, on the trail of a SPICY NEWS STORY! Our interviewee has agreed to sit down if we promise not to show her face. We've seen this request before with Luke, but the editor in chief at the paper was willing to do so once again, so here we are with a brand new interview! Let's kick things off with the basic questions before we dive into the juicy details:

Q: Mystery lady, can we have your name?
A: Of course. My name is Andrea.

Q: So, how old are you, and when is your birthday?
A: I am 22 years old, and my birthday is Winter 21st.

Q: What do you do for a living, Andrea? I see you have a bag with you!
A: As you may be able to tell from my appearance, I am a clocksmith. Therefore, I work with very small items that need to be magnified. My satchel is filled with clock parts, blueprints, and notes where I write down my latest ideas for new kinds of clocks.

Q: Do you like animals? How do you feel about dogs?
A: I like animals a lot, actually, and dogs are kind of like a clock in and of themselves: they wake you up in the morning, go for walks with you in the afternoon, and lay down to sleep with you at night.

Q: What attracted you to Hillsville?
A: Well, I was already a resident of Hillsville, but I was looking for a secluded studio for my clockmaking so I could concentrate without any interruptions. I had hoped to find a studio in the Lost Valley, but, well, that is a story for another time...

Q: Your hair is very long! How do you get it to grow so beautifully?
A: Like my clocks, it is simply my own personal style. I feel that my looks are an extension of my personality, and therefore I always try to convey that.

Q: I see you’re wearing some very unique eyewear! Do you have poor vision?
A: Thank you for the compliment. This was actually a gift from my grandfather. When I wear it, I feel like good ideas will come to me. It also helps me when I'm working, of course.

Keep watching for Part 2 of Andrea's interview coming later today!
So Andrea is a clocksmith, I would asume, we are going to see some sort of clock for the house or a clocktower for the valley.
Also she wears glasses.

I hope it's a monocle. That would be kinda rad. ^_^

Also, despite frantically trying to get caught up with my girl file (omg. it's 160 hours behind, and I've finished unlocking like....6 mutation seeds >_<), I'm getting REALLY impatient for this DLC and what it may bring.

(though oh « Harvest Goddess », please no more trees. On my boy file I built a huge tree orchard and if I had to go and tear down half my trees to build it up for new ones, I might cry)

You´re right.
It could also be a monocle instead of glasses.

I think it´s also intresting, that she had lived in Hillsville bevore and has a grandfather, so maybe Doc could get a granddoughter, because she shares the same interest in machines and technic.

I really hope, Luke/Andrea come with some extra content like new things for the valley (clocktower, pedometer, potions).

That'd be really neat, it'd be nice to see a bit more diversity in the game! And clock tinkerer is kind of only a stones' throw from inventor, eh? Plus, of all our characters the only ones who seem to have no family relations are Doc and Gilbert--it'd be nice if our newbies had links to those characters.


Also, I asked how long we had to wait for the new DLC, and got a response (can't for the life of me figure out how to do a proper link):

>>Natsume Inc. ‏@Natsume_Inc 7m7 minutes ago
@irulethegalaxy Wrote the press release for it today. That should be a hint ^.~
-CeeCee<

So, possibly as soon as tomorrow?


ETA: Luke's interview mentioned lots of herbs and the like specifically, so I am guessing he will come with seeds. Maybe Andrea comes with...erm, something? The things I see specifically mentioned are clocks, blueprints (!), and liking dogs. Dear Andrea: Please come with a blueprint for an irrigation or sprinkler system. Or better yet, and automatic harvesting robot. Love, me.

Second part of Andrea's interview is up! Also, with the "shadow" blown up large, you can sort of see what looks like ...bands? or some sort of hairstyle thingie going on right above her ears.


Since she's a clockmaker, maybe some sort of magnifing steampunk goggly things?

Probably not tomorrow...FOMT comes out tomorrow. Plus the interview says she's moving in "as early as next week" So maybe this is for us who can't go to e3...wishful thinking!!

BACHELORETTE SPILLS THE BEANS
Andrea Answers More Questions Prior to her Move to Hillsville

Good evening, fellow newshounds! Naomi here, on the trail of our hottest news story yet! We're back with the second half of this eligible bachelorette's replies to her recent Q&A. Keep reading for all the juicy details~ Missed Part 1? Read it here: https://www.facebook.com/NatsumeInc/pho ... 97/?type=1

Q: Let’s see what our readers wanted to know…how about do you have any siblings?
A: No, I don't have any siblings. However, my father has been both an excellent parent to me, as well as teaching me how to become a great clocksmith.

Q: What's your favorite food? Do you like fish?
A: I don't really have a favorite food. Anything that can provide sustenance to me while I'm making clocks is good enough for me.

Q: Do you have someone special in your life? Have you made any friends in your brief visits to Hillsville?
A: I'm always open to making new friends, and I would certainly be open to a relationship if we both matched up well.

Q: What do you do in your spare time?
A: I spend most of my time thinking about new designs for clocks.

Q: Is there anything you're looking for in a suave gentleman?
A: Someone who inspires me...especially if that someone can inspire me to make the best clocks I can make.

Q: Let's see here...*shuffles notes*... "Do you bleed?" NOT AGAIN!
A: ...

Q: Well then, a final question: are you willing to reveal anything about how you look?
A: I have brown hair with a twist, and green eyes...

And so ended the interview with the mysterious woman! It seems like she's coming very soon, maybe even next week! See you next interview fellow newshounds~
Hmmm, the first part was better, but now we know, that she has brown hair and green eyes, so she look different.

I thought we could see her ears on the shadow and not some kind of headgear.

DLC releases on 6/16, same day as the first day of Nerd Christmas (Nerd Christmas is my name for E3 LOL)!


Can we just go to Tuesday now? I'll even skip my one day of "weekend" for it. I'm psyched for this DLC, and I am so hyped up for E3 it's not even funny. Though there's already SO much stuff announced that I want, I'm not sure how much more my wallet can take. Speaking of which, who else is excited for the Popolocrois X SOS game???

Okay. Each new character is $1.49, purchased separately.

A) Luke's schedule is in front of your house, Friday and Sunday from 10-6.
B) He's pretty cute (I haven't done anything else yet).
c) There is new FREE DLC as well, some sort of outfit. I haven't checked this out yet, but I thought I'd mention it in case someone wasn't interested in the paid stuff.

Andrea:
A) Andrea's schedule is Moon Valley, Sunday and Thursday from 10-6
B) She's kind of exotic looking! Darker toned skin, green eyes, black hair with a gold streak...monocle! Erm..she's also far...curvier...than our other bachelorettes.


I'll update when I hit the appropriate days (naturally my game was on Tuesday when I started LOL) to post if they are "shopkeepers", and I'll check out what new clothes Catherine has as well.

BREAKING NEWS: Quote from Luke! "For mutations to occur, conditions such as the season, height, land and different types of fertilizer need to be taken into account!"

LUKES REQUESTS SEEM TO BE HINTS ABOUT OBTAINING VARIOUS MUTATIONS. I'm going to make a wild guess here and theorize that when the reward is seeds and material stone, then those seeds want dry ground; seeds and rainbow trout should go on swampy; seeds and cone fir (or possibly other seedlings) lush or patchy. Rainbow trout could also possibly point to elevation, since it tends to be caught upstream? The most interesting reward to me is for #9, which is a combination of Squash seeds and goby blend. AFAIK, this combination is NOT one that we know, pointing possibly at the Giant Pumpkins? I've only gotten through the 2 spring requests so far, so I am VERY excited to see what comes up for his other seasonal requests.

Got Luke's first request!
Spoiler:
He wants 5 spinach, and rewards you with 10 purple pansy seeds! Hopefully better mutated seeds from further requests??
Luke's second request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 broccoli, rewards you with 10 red cabbage seeds and two material stone (?) Weird LOL.
Luke's third request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 cabbage and 5 strawberry, rewards with 10 white berry seeds (eh) and 5 berry blend
Luke's fourth request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 onion and 5 celery, rewards with 10 baby spinach seeds and 2 material stone (What is up with the material stone...?
Luke's fifth request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 tomato and 5 corn, rewards with 10 huge cabbage seeds and 2 rainbow trout (better than material stone, I guess...!)
Luke's sixth request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 green pepper and 5 wheat, rewards with 10 fodder corn seeds and 5 corn blend.
Luke's seventh request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 hot peppers, and 5 carrots. Rewards with 10 purple potato seeds and 2 material stone.
Luke's eight request!
Spoiler:
Wants 5 potatoes and 5 pumpkins; rewards with 10 baby carrot seeds and 2 rainbow trout.
Luke's ninth request!
Spoiler:
Wants 3 great eggs and 3 great milk; rewards with 10 squash seeds and 10 goby blend.
Luke's tenth request!
Spoiler:
Wants 2 miracle eggs and 2 miracle milk; rewards with 10 scallion seeds and 2 material stone.
Luke's Love events (quicky in-a-nutshell versions; I didn't go through all options)
Luke's First LOVE event!
Spoiler:
This starts off like his requests, with Luke asking for ingrediants. Then Sam interrupts, saying he has the perfect medicine. Luke askes how effective it is, and Sam tells him he has to buy it first--for just 1,000,000G! >_< Dammit, Sam.... Luke then asks you if you should buy it, and you're given three options: Don't ask me; He's trying to trick you; You should definitely buy it! I chose the middle one, and Luke seems stunned that Sam is lying to him >_<. Sam says it was just a joke (yeah, right...), and that he didn't think Luke would believe him. Luke says he just believed him without even thinking, and he needs to work on not being so gullible (Did you know if you say "gullible" really slowly it sounds like "oranges"?), and that he needs to be more like you...
Luke's second love event!
Spoiler:
You'll find Luke appearing in and on one of Gareth's days to be in the valley, this event takes place with him. This is why it took me so long to get it triggered, I was ignoring my other uncompleted chemistry quests in favor of getting Luke finished...so I wasn't visiting Gareth/Tabitha during their Valley days! Luke begs Gareth for his magical secrets on making medicines; Gareth is rather annoyed with Luke, but luckily...you showed up just in time. You're given an option of what to say--which I forgot to write down, lol--and I chose the "it could be dangerous" option. Gareth poofs his escape, and Luke decides that you are right, and he doesn't really need magic to make medicines to heal people.
Luke's third love event!
Spoiler:
This one triggered in front of my house, almost immediately after the second one. Pretty much the same as above, but this time with Tabitha. This event is actually pretty funny, because apparently Luke invited her to come talk to an "interesting bachelor" and Tabitha wasn't expecting to be drilled about medicine. As soon as you appear, she pretty much dismisses Luke as being annoying and poofs away. I am sure there were dialog choices with this event as well, but I got caught off guard and I didn't write it down. The "right" answer was pretty obvious, of course.
Luke's fourth love event!
Spoiler:
WARNING WARNING WARNING! Do NOT trigger this event until you are ready to be "done" for the day (crops/animals sorted, animals in the barn), as you will lose a good chunk of the day because of it. This event triggers in front of your house, and unlike the other scenes doesn't appear to immediately trigger when you step on the screen. Talk to Luke, and he will ask you if you're feeling okay, as you seem a bit pale. You (mutely! LOL) affirm that you are okay...and then pass out! You'll wake up in bed, and Luke will tell you he carried you all the way here (for me, this event triggered literally in front of my front door, so...about 4 feet? XD. He tells you you have a fever and he's concerned about you, gives you some medicine, and there are dialog choices...I chose "Could you stay a little longer?" Luke blushes, fade to black...and you are given back control at 7pm that evening. First time I did this I had my animals out....:/
Luke's seasonal requests:
Spring 1
Spoiler:
Wants 2 grapefruits, and 3 lilac spinach; rewards with 10 san marzano seeds and 10 tomato blend (!)
Spring 2
Spoiler:
Wants 3 squash and 3 ultra milk; rewards with 10 romanesco and 2 cone tree sprouts.
Summer 1:
Spoiler:
Wants 2 peaches and 3 brown carrots; rewards with 10 magic pepper seeds, 10 goby blend, and 2 cone tree sprouts.
Andrea's requests all center around mined materials; if you want to woo her I hope you've been stockpiling LOL.

Got Andrea's first request!
Spoiler:
She wants 3 softwood lumber, and gives you glass and 500g. Meh. LOL
Andrea's second request!
Spoiler:
Wants 6 softwood lumber, rewards you with 5 agates and 1000g--definitely better than the first one LOL
Andrea's third request!
Spoiler:
Wants 3 hardwood lumber and 3 material stone, rewards you with 5 jade and 1500g.
Andrea's fourth request!
Spoiler:
Wants 6 hardwood lumber and 2 bronze, rewards with 5 opal and 2000G.

Spoiler:

Cher has already posted a picture on the first side.

Luke looks really pale, despite he works with herbs all day in the sun, but Andrea could be Doc´s granddoughter (has anybody raised her chemestry so far, so we get to know her story?).
I said it before, we would get a darker skinned bachelor/bachelorette and I love it.

She has some look of a pirate mixed with some steam punk style and hear green eyes let her look like a cat.
I´m going to buy this DLC.
