Cecilia
Cecilia is a kind-hearted woman who works at Vesta's farm. She easily tends the farm's fields along with the other farmhand, Matthew. Vesta appreciates Cecilia's helpful attitude, though Matthew is a little harsher on her because of his suppressed romantic feelings. Besides appreciating the beauty of plants, she is affectionate towards animals. Cacilia will also act as a seed merchant when you talk to her inside Vesta's house or when she's out in the farm's fields.
Cecilia is the default bachelorette at the end of Chapter 1 (along with Rock) if you haven't made progress toward finding a live partner.
Her name was Celia in the original Gamecube game.
After marriage, Cecilia will still help out at Vesta's farm. Alas, she doesn't offer you a seed discount at the farm store.

She finds that growing crops is rewarding, even with its challenges. If you have any questions or troubles with growing plants, please reach out to her for assistance. Cecilia is excited that another person in the valley shares her passion for crops.
Vesta walks up and agrees with "Ceci." Helping neighbors is what they do best! Cecilia apologizes to Vesta for spending so much time chatting with you, but Vesta is cool with it.
