For fields of mistria characters, start with the official count: there are 12 marriage candidates and more than 30 villagers to meet. Ten candidates are shown by name on the official homepage, while two are tied to story progress and deserve a spoiler warning. This guide groups the current cast by role and relationship so you can find the person you need while leaving later story discoveries in their own section.
Read the roster before chasing every portrait
NPC Studio describes Mistria as a town rebuilding after an earthquake, and its character systems sit inside that recovery story rather than beside it. The official site promises 30+ villagers with their own stories, while the relationship section confirms 12 marriage candidates. That distinction matters: a resident can be important to shopping, requests, or a family connection without being available for romance.
The public candidate gallery names Celine, Juniper, Reina, Valen, Adeline, Balor, March, Hayden, Ryis, and Eiland. Its remaining two portraits are silhouettes, so the gallery itself should not be used as a complete name list. The maintained character roster supplies the full current set, but it also labels story material as spoilers; this page keeps those names in a separate section.
The ten public marriage candidates
All eligible marriage candidates can be chosen regardless of the player's gender, according to NPC Studio's FAQ. The list below covers the ten names publicly displayed on the current homepage and uses the maintained character records only for concise role and relationship facts. It is a route-finding roster, not a claim that every candidate is available at the beginning of every story state.
| Candidate | Confirmed role or connection | Useful first place to check |
|---|---|---|
| Celine | Gardener; daughter of General Store co-owners Holt and Nora | Her cottage and garden, north of the player's farm |
| Juniper | Sorceress and Bathhouse owner; Dozy is her familiar | The Bathhouse |
| Reina | Head cook at the Sleeping Dragon Inn; child of Josephine and Hemlock | The Inn kitchen |
| Valen | Town doctor | The Clinic |
| Adeline | Acting leader of Mistria; Eiland's sister | Town leadership and restoration scenes |
| Balor | Traveling merchant | Balor's Wagon or the Sleeping Dragon Inn |
| March | Blacksmith; Olric's brother | The Blacksmith |
| Hayden | Runs Sweetwater Farm; Henrietta's owner | Sweetwater Farm |
| Ryis | Carpenter; Landen's nephew | Carpenter's Shop on the Eastern Road |
| Eiland | Archaeologist and noble; Adeline's brother | Historical Society or town scenes |
Celine, Hayden, March, Ryis, Valen, Juniper, and Balor are especially easy to orient around because their work is also a location cue. Reina's Inn connection and Adeline and Eiland's town roles are useful for story-facing play, even when you are not pursuing romance. Use the roster as a quick way to choose a first stop when you need a character.
Shops, services, and the people behind them
The General Store is a family reference point: Holt and Nora are its co-owners, Celine is their daughter, and Dell is Celine's younger sister. If a conversation mentions that household, read it as a family link rather than a romance requirement. Nora is also connected to Mistria's commerce and Saturday Market, but that title does not promise any vendor's stock.
The Sleeping Dragon Inn links a second household. Josephine and Hemlock co-own it, Reina is their daughter and head cook, and Maple and Luc are also listed as their children. Balor's documented habit of staying at the Inn makes it a sensible stop when looking for him, though an exact day or time remains version- and progression-sensitive.
For practical services, March anchors blacksmithing, Ryis anchors carpentry, Valen anchors the Clinic, Juniper anchors the Bathhouse, and Hayden anchors Sweetwater Farm. These labels are more durable than a walkthrough's claim that someone will always be standing at one tile at one clock time. If a shop is closed or a character has moved for an event, check the current day and the Social tab instead of assuming a guide is broken.
Civic, family, and story-facing characters
Adeline and Eiland are siblings from Mistria's ruling family, and the maintained records identify Adeline as the acting town leader and Eiland as an archaeologist. That makes them natural names to recognize during restoration and historical threads. It does not mean every repair, museum, or lore task begins with one of them; follow the active quest text for the next step.
Elsie is a non-romanceable retired socialite in the maintained roster and is associated with town gossip. Olric is March's brother and appears around the Blacksmith and other town workplaces. Use these as relationship landmarks, then check the Social tab and map for the current save state.
Henrietta is Hayden's prize pet chicken at Sweetwater Farm, not a marriage candidate or a generic livestock label. Dozy is Juniper's familiar, so the two names belong together when you are sorting Bathhouse dialogue from a player date system. Keeping these small relationships straight prevents a common guide error: turning every named resident or animal into an eligible partner.
Romance status and a spoiler-safe remainder
The official homepage's 12-candidate count and FAQ's no-gender-lock rule are the safest answer to the basic romance question. Full release materials say marriage and children arrived with version 1.0, while relationship paths are covered in the separate romance guide. For this roster, the important point is that the ten public names above are candidates and that story access can affect when an additional candidate becomes visible.
Story spoiler: the maintained current character roster identifies the two remaining marriage candidates as Caldarus and Seridia. Caldarus is the dragon linked to the farm shrine and the return of magic; Seridia is tied to later Mines story material. The official site publicly shows two unnamed candidate silhouettes, so use story progress and the in-game Social tab rather than expecting either name in the starting-town gallery.
The official relationship FAQ says candidates are not gender-locked, but it does not replace the game interface as the final status check for a particular save. Do not infer eligibility from a portrait, a family tree, or an old fan list alone. When a route matters, confirm that person's current label in the Social tab and let the live game show the relevant heart event.
