In *Fields of Mistria*, building your farm is just one part of the adventure. Cultivating deep, lasting friendships with the locals is equally rewarding, especially with someone as special as Juniper. If you're aiming to deepen your bond with her, understanding the art of gifting is crucial. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you give Juniper the best gifts and enhance your relationship.
While you can forge friendships with nearly everyone in *Fields of Mistria*, romance is reserved for a select group of NPCs. With the v0.13.0 update, you have the option to pursue romance with 11 different characters, including Caldarus himself.
Each romanceable NPC has a heart meter that fills based on your interactions with them. To build a romantic connection, engage with them regularly and pay close attention to their preferences. Start by **talking to them daily**, which you can do while completing other tasks around town. Daily conversations can significantly boost your relationship. Additionally, make sure to complete any requests they post on the town board, as this provides more opportunities to increase their heart gauge.
You can also **give them a gift once per day**, choosing items they particularly enjoy. These items vary from character to character and can be gathered or crafted. On their birthday, give them an item they love to maximize the heart gauge boost. Consistent efforts in these areas will quickly elevate their affection towards you.
Keep in mind that currently, NPC heart gauges can only reach **six hearts**. After achieving six hearts, a cutscene will hint at a budding romance, but it won't be fully realized yet. According to the game's roadmap, future updates will introduce 8 and 10-heart events, along with options for marriage and children, ensuring your romance in Mistria has room to grow.
Juniper, a romanceable character in *Fields of Mistria*, is often seen searching for unique witchcraft ingredients. You can find her at the bathhouse she manages in the northeastern part of town. To romance Juniper, focus on visiting her, fulfilling her town board requests, and giving her thoughtful daily gifts.
Juniper has a range of items she "likes" and "loves." Her birthday falls on the **26th day of Fall**, so make sure to gift her something she "loves" on that day for an extra heart gauge boost. Avoid giving her items she dislikes, which include all universal dislikes and **Sod**. You can monitor her heart gauge status in your journal under the heart icon tab.
