Fields of Mistria has 12 romanceable marriage candidates in version 1.0: Adeline, Balor, Caldarus, Celine, Eiland, Hayden, Juniper, March, Reina, Ryis, Seridia, and Valen. The two characters that were hidden during Early Access are now known: Caldarus and Seridia. Any eligible candidate can be romanced regardless of your player character's gender.
This page is the roster and comparison guide. For the relationship mechanics themselves, use the Fields of Mistria Romance Options Guide and Heart Events Guide. Once you have chosen someone, the Gifts Guide helps with daily friendship, while the Marriage Guide covers the final commitment route.
Spoiler warning: Caldarus and Seridia are story-linked characters. Their names and roles are mild 1.0 spoilers.
All 12 romanceable characters
| Character | Type | Birthday | Role / main connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adeline | Bachelorette | Winter 18 | Town leader; Manor and restoration projects |
| Celine | Bachelorette | Summer 14 | Gardener; flowers and nature |
| Juniper | Bachelorette | Fall 26 | Sorceress; Bathhouse and magic |
| Reina | Bachelorette | Fall 12 | Chef; Sleeping Dragon Inn |
| Seridia | Bachelorette | Winter 2 | Priestess; late Mines story |
| Valen | Bachelorette | Fall 1 | Doctor; Clinic |
| Balor | Bachelor | Summer 10 | Traveling merchant |
| Caldarus | Bachelor | Spring 25 | Dragon guardian; late story and magic |
| Eiland | Bachelor | Summer 20 | Archaeologist; Museum and local history |
| Hayden | Bachelor | Winter 8 | Farmer and rancher; Sweetwater Farm |
| March | Bachelor | Spring 16 | Blacksmith; Forge |
| Ryis | Bachelor | Spring 4 | Carpenter; Carpenter's Shop |
The ten town candidates are available through ordinary town life and relationship progression. Caldarus and Seridia are different: both are tied to later story progression, so a new save should not expect to pursue their full routes immediately.
The two secret romance candidates
Caldarus
Caldarus is the dragon guardian connected to the statue on your farm and to Mistria's larger magical story. His full romance route is late-game and story-gated rather than simply unlocked by handing gifts to the statue. If he is your target, continue the Mines and main-story progression while building the relationship. See the Caldarus Guide for his unlock path, gifts, and romance progression.
Seridia
Seridia is the secret bachelorette introduced through the later Mines storyline. She was one of the major character reveals surrounding the completed Mines content and is part of the 12-candidate 1.0 marriage roster. Because her appearance is story-linked, avoid looking up her route too early if you want to keep the Mines story unspoiled. If you do want the full route, use the dedicated Seridia Guide.
How romance works in version 1.0
Version 1.0 raised NPC relationships to 10 Hearts and completed the romance path with proposal events, weddings, marriage, and optional children. The basic route is:
- Build hearts. Talk to the candidate, give gifts, complete relevant requests, and see their relationship events.
- Choose Dating at the 8-Heart relationship event if you want the romance route rather than Best Friends.
- Reach 10 Hearts. Version 1.0 adds the 10-Heart proposal events and special items associated with them.
- Unlock the Engagement Ring recipe. NPC Studio says Elsie delivers the recipe the morning after you reach 10 Hearts with an NPC you are dating. Craft the ring at a Forge.
- Propose when you are ready. You can see multiple 10-Heart events before committing; proposing is the point where you choose your marriage partner.
- Plan the wedding. Wedding dialogue lets you customize details including flower color, cake flavor, and the reception meal.
- Continue married life. Version 1.0 adds post-marriage dialogue and routines. Children are optional and become available later through the Mystical Feather event.
You can date more than one candidate before engagement. By default, getting engaged changes other dating relationships to Best Friends, although version 1.0 includes settings that can alter the breakup behavior. You can only proceed with one marriage partner at a time.
For the shared relationship system, use the Romance Guide. For exact proposal requirements and materials, use the Engagement Ring Guide. After the wedding, the Children Guide explains the Mystical Feather and optional family route.
Who should you romance?
There is no gameplay-required best spouse, so choose around the character and activities you enjoy. These are useful starting points rather than rankings:
- Adeline if town restoration and the Manor are already central to your route. Her daily gift route is covered in the Adeline Gifts Guide.
- Celine if you like gardening, flowers, and an easy-to-meet early-town character.
- Juniper if the Bathhouse, magic, and her sharper sense of humor appeal to you.
- Reina if you spend a lot of time around cooking and the Inn.
- Valen if you prefer the doctor and Clinic storyline.
- Balor if you like the traveling-merchant angle.
- Eiland if archaeology and the Museum are among your favorite systems.
- Hayden if ranching and Sweetwater Farm fit your play style.
- March if you want the blacksmith route; our March Gifts Guide can speed up the early relationship.
- Ryis if carpentry and town-building stories are your preference.
- Caldarus or Seridia if you want a more spoiler-heavy romance tied to late story progression.
For broad daily-gift shortcuts before you commit to a single candidate, see the Universal Likes and Loves Guide.
Can you romance anyone regardless of gender?
Yes. NPC Studio's official FAQ says marriage candidates are not locked by gender. Your character's gender does not remove any of the 12 candidates from the eligible roster.
Can you date multiple characters?
Yes, before engagement. Dating multiple candidates lets you continue seeing their relationship content while deciding whom to marry. Version 1.0 specifically accounts for what happens to other dating relationships after engagement and provides gameplay settings for that transition.
Can you marry Caldarus and Seridia?
Yes. Caldarus and Seridia are the two story-linked candidates that complete the 12-person romance roster in the full-release game. Their routes require substantially more story progress than the ordinary town candidates, so they are better treated as late-game romance options.
