Rune Factory 3 Special – Bachelorette Guide

If you’re a fan of farming sims and RPGs then Rune Factory needs no introduction. XSEED Games have been making this series for more than a decade and it pretty much follows a very similar formula. A fantasy world where you can live your life and also engage in battles and potentially save it.

In Rune Factory 3 you’ll play as Micah who has fallen into this Kingdom with no memory. With the help of a kind girl, he’s able to recover and slowly put together pieces of his past. Rune Factory isn’t your typical RPG however because not only will you be able to pick up your weapons and head into dungeons. But you can also equally put down your weapons, pick up a watering can and grow some crops. Or fish in the river and most fun of all, make friends in the village and maybe even fall in love with one of the ladies of the town.

There are 11 potential bachelorettes in Rune Factory 3 for you to romance. Not all of them are completely human and each of them has their own likes and dislikes. In this guide, we’ll go through all of them!

   

Carmen

Carmen is a very energetic and sometimes bossy girl. She lives and helps her older brother Carlos at their fishing resort. Just like her brother, Carmen loves fishing. She is an energetic girl and is excited about things, especially fishing. Go to Carmn to learn what fish is in the season as well as helpful pointers about fishing. She is often seen with Carlos by the Diamond General Store.

Collette

Collette is a rambunctious girl who has a love for food. Collette swears that she can beat anyone in an eating competition and attributes her large appetite to her “lightning-fast metabolism”. She is an aspiring chef with great potential but feels insecure about her height, believing that it’s holding her back from becoming a good cook. As such, she is in a hurry to grow up so that she can reach her dreams.

Daria

Daria is a lone elf who lives in Privera Forest, so she knows the place like the back of her hand, and she single-handedly rebuilds the broken bridges in the ruins. She is older than anyone can remember, but still young for her race. Daria loves her art and rainbows. She identifies as an artist who is skilled in multiple mediums. She loves to incorporate rainbows into her work and is always on the lookout for her next rainbow inspiration.

Karina

Karina is indisputably the laziest girl in town. She is the daughter of the general store’s owner, Hazel and is the clerk there. But can’t stand her job and would rather spend most of the day sleeping. Due to her indolence, she genuinely lacks the energy to do much of anything and quickly gets fatigued. As such, she hates moving around any more than she needs to and is always sighing or yawning.

She likes gems and jewellery because they’re pretty, she finds how they shine and sparkle relaxing. That is all except for diamonds because they remind her of the general store, and they’re her mother’s favourite gem. For the most part, Karina doesn’t try to think too hard about things, since that costs her more effort than necessary. All of that being said, she can prove to be surprisingly clever and is plenty capable if she feels like putting her mind to it.

Kuruna

Kuruna is the earnest, dignified leader of the Univir settlement and the last surviving member of her people. As the elder, she will go to any lengths to protect her settlement from danger. Her loyalty to the settlement is matched only by her hidden passion for sweets and, initially, her aversion to the human race. She is diligent in her duties, serious in character and formal in manner, but also very assertive and resolute in her opinions.

Kuruna is immensely proud of her lineage and heritage. Despite having lived for centuries, Kuruna’s outlook is surprisingly rather narrow—the desert is all she has ever known, and her experiences in the world are just as limited. Her settlement serves as a sanctuary for all monsters so that the evils of humans can’t reach them.

Marian

Both an apprentice witch and an apprentice doctor. Marian is researching how to combine the two disciplines, occasionally putting herself and others at risk in the process. She works in the town’s apothecary, but is an amateur in medicine and usually needs her grandmother’s help. She is friends with Collette and always tries her experiments on her, much to Collette’s dismay. 

Marian believes that she isn’t a very good witch because she always needs help from her grandmother. In reality, Marian is a very powerful witch, even stronger than Marjorie. The syringe she carries suppresses her true power so that it does not get out of control.

Pia

A mermaid who runs the baths, she also sets up the punchlines for Sakuya’s jokes. Her legs turn into fins when she gets wet. Don’t even think about eating fish in front of her. She obsesses over cleaning the baths and always does everything she can think of to make them better. In general, whether it is out of love or hate, Pia is always deeply devoted.

Raven

Raven is a taciturn, blunt young woman who works at the blacksmith’s store with the owner, Gaius. Despite her strong work ethic, she lacks patience. Before getting to know her, she comes across as a harsh, unsympathetic, rather hostile person with a particularly stubborn streak, and she is outwardly mistrustful of Micah. However, although she purposely tries to distance herself from others, she actually gets lonely very easily. She gradually opens up as Micah grows closer to her, reconciling herself with the feeling of happiness, and she learns to be more honest with the people around her, as well as with herself.

Raven has a special affinity with monsters and deeply cares for them, becoming visibly upset at the thought of hurting them. This affinity is presumably founded on a secret side of herself. It is also why she absolutely refuses to forge weapons, even if she can sell them and understand the need for them.

Sakuya

The innkeeper’s travel-loving daughter, Sakuya delivers the punchlines for Pia’s setups. She also runs a shop where she sells items dropped by monsters. Sakuya moved to the town with her mother, Shino, from the East and took in Pia, who is like a sister to her.

She is afraid of monsters, but won’t let it deter her from getting what she wants. Sakuya is constantly trying to impress her mother so that Shino will trust her to take over the inn in the future.
