|/The island is inhabited by over 50 different villagers, each with their own
| likes, dislikes, schedules, families and occupations. Eight of these
| characters could become your spouse (sixteen, actually, but only eight per
| gender).
|
| Every character has five categories of gifts: 'loves', 'likes', 'neutral',
| 'dislikes' and 'hates'. 'Loves', 'likes' and 'neutral' all increase
| affection ('loves' more than 'likes', 'likes' more than 'neutral');
| 'dislikes' slightly decreases affection, and 'hates' decreases affection
| a bit more.
|
| Any gift that isn't listed under a character's loves/likes/dislikes/hates
| is a neutral gift (or, if you find out otherwise, let me know - compiling
| a list of likes and dislikes is always the most difficult part of writing
| a Harvest Moon FAQ).
|
| In case you weren't aware, the most recent edition of this FAQ will always
| be found at this shrunken address: hmtot.alturl.com. Some other places
| like to say they have the latest edition, but only that address is
| persistently current.
|
| Most characters follow a certain profile of gifts: there is one ingredient
| that they 'love' any dish that contains it, and they 'like' the ingredient
| by itself. For the most part, cooked items are the best gifts.
|
| Note also that the lists of likes and dislikes here are not comprehensive;
| instead they are just general frameworks for finding good gifts. If you're
| looking for an absolutely comprehensive list, check the Reference section.
|
| It's also notable that there are certain items that absolutely no one
| likes; these gifts are either 'disliked' or 'hated' by everyone.
| Rather than list them under each character, instead they're listed here:

| Weeds, dishes that didn't turn out right, trash caught while fishing,
| junk ore.

| Additionally, every bachelor appears to dislike bamboo shoots. Go figure.
