Sebastian is a brooding, reclusive freelance programmer who lives in the basement of the Carpenter's Shop in the mountains north of Pelican Town. As one of the core marriage candidates in Stardew Valley, he is Maru's older half-brother, the son of Robin, and the stepson of Demetrius.Often found hiding away behind his computer screen or working on his motorcycle, Sebastian fits the classic gothic-rebel archetype. He spends his free time playing tabletop RPGs, reading sci-fi and comic books, and hanging out with his close friends Sam and Abigail at the Stardrop Saloon. Though he is standoffish and anxious around strangers, patience and a steady supply of his favorite items (like Sashimi or Frozen Tears) reveal a deeply thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and surprisingly romantic partner.

Sam is an upbeat, outgoing musician who lives in the southern part of Pelican Town at 1 Willow Lane. As one of the core bachelor marriage candidates in Stardew Valley, he is a high-energy optimist who loves skateboarding, playing video games, and rocking out with his band.Sam lives with his mother, Jodi, and his younger brother, Vincent. His father, Kent, is away serving in the military when the game begins and returns at the start of Year 2. To earn extra cash, Sam works part-time at JojaMart (or the Museum if JojaMart closes). He is best friends with Sebastian and Abigail, whom he plays music with, and he is highly protective of his little brother. While he can occasionally be a bit immature or careless, he has a heart of gold and a deeply supportive, affectionate personality once you get to know him.
