Hey, great to see this is up.  Also, I thought this might be interesting, but here's [url=http://www.dreamself.me/clothes.php?action=view&id=0]a link[/url] to a site that will let you create chibi characters that look more or less like Harvest Moon characters.  I thought it would be cool if all our characters had a unified look/feel.  What I did was after I created my character, I took a screencapture and uploaded the cropped image to imgur.

Here's my CS. She can be a bit antagonistic, but she means well:

[color=0054a6][b][h2]Mental Info[/h2][/b][/color]
[color=0054a6][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Sierra has been described as someone with a 'mind of metal and wheels', though that is not to say that she has a heart of stone.  Sierra simply desires practicality and efficiency, which may come off as a need to control.  She lives a simple life, feeling that excess dulls the mind and weakens the body.  Sierra shows care through action instead of words, so while she's terrible at comforting people, she may attempt to solve their problem or simply do chores around their house for them.  She derives self-worth from being useful to others.  She secretly, and not-so-secretly, judges others based on their usefulness and extravagance, and doesn't trust those who are rich or have lived a comfortable life.  Sierra believes that the prosperity of Hope Valley lies under the earth rather than above it and seeks to save Hope Valley by finding a motherlode in the mines.  If she is unable to succeed at that, she would resort to 'saving' Hope Valley through modernization and industrialization, putting her at odds with those who would prefer to keep Hope Valley natural and pastoral.  Despite having dreams about the Harvest Goddess, Sierra doesn't believe in the Harvest Goddess, or the supernatural.  Sierra is also something of a penny-pincher having lived a relatively poor life.  She likes simple foods that give her long-lasting energy and foods that last a long time.  She often conflates enjoyment and decoration with decadence and opulence.

[color=0054a6][b]Likes:[/b][/color] Rice balls, butter, cooking oil, bread, potatoes, corn, salted fish, hard boiled eggs, milk, cheese, pickles, preserved foods, sandwiches. All ores and gems. Tools.
[color=0054a6][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] Sweets, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables. All flowers and grasses.

[color=0054a6][b]History:[/b][/color] Sierra was born in Hope Valley.  Sierra's father used to be the foreman of King's Rock Mine until Hope Valley came under hard times.  A series of unfortunate cave-ins and accidents as well as a sudden inability to locate rich ore deposits led to the mine being deemed exhausted and subsequently shut down.  When Sierra was 10, the Hamilton's moved to the city where Sierra's father became a factory worker, while her mother became a teacher, though previously she had been a homemaker.  In Hope Valley, Sierra was able to spend plenty of time with both parents, but in the city, they needed to both have jobs to support the high cost of living.  Sierra felt neglected and kept to herself, blaming the mine's closure for her misfortune and the exhaustion she saw in both her parents' attempts at trying to earn a living wage.  Upon graduating high school, Sierra took hard labor jobs to help contribute to the family, knowing they didn't have enough to send her to college.  The night she had her last dream of the Goddess, her parents surprised her with a secret stash of money that they had been saving up.  They remembered how much happier she was in the town she was born, and they had saved this money so that she could start a new life and make her way in the world back in Hope Valley.  She had initially intended to ignore her dream and the pleas of the 'Goddess', but she saw this as an opportunity to make Hope Valley great again, and when she had succeeded, she would save her parents from the city and let them retire in peace, comfort and dignity.
