There are six career paths available for your child: Rancher, Farmer, Athlete, Artist, Musician, and Scholar. If your child becomes a Rancher or Farmer, they will inherit the farm at the end of Chapter 6.
If your child becomes a Scholar, Artist, Musician, or Athlete, they will leave Forgotten Valley at the end of Chapter 6, leaving your spouse and Takakura to manage the farm.
Whom you marry in Chapter 1 will determine three of the six areas your child is interested in. For example, Lumina’s child will be more interested in Music, Art, and Science (Scholar) at the beginning of Chapter 2.
During the Starry Night Festival in Winter, you can make a “wish” that will greatly influence your child’s interest in their future career.
Your child’s personality as an adult depends on the bachelor or bachelorette you marry in Chapter 1.
