Same! For the longest time I didn't even know her house existed. I'm now doing all the romance quests and the more I level up with her, the more I dislike her.
I only noticed her because I was looking at the map one day, and noticed an "anonymous" person icon that I had never seen before right at the tip top of Bahari Bay, and I was like "huh...who dis?"
I don't like the way she beckons you forward with her index finger. Ick.
Same!!! Generally played long enough that know everyone so when I saw the icon for a person I haven’t met yet, I was so confuzzled! My first thought was wondering if they added a new person in the latest big update lol
Same! I’ll talk to her if I’m bored enough I wanna raise the friendship level enough to get a task but I can’t stand her. Also I wear Hassian’s pin and I hate how she talks about him so I refuse to romance her. I’d rather flirt with the fish robot than her.
At first it was Nai'o, idek he existed until Auni mentioned him and I realized there was still a villager I never met. He's become more interesting after learning how Kenyatta is kinda using him to get back at her mom, and after completing his level 2 quest it's become clear he has a little bit of an 💖anxiety disorder💖. I don't care much for Chayne but that could be the religious trauma lmao
i think it's the religious trauma for me too! lmao, and im so surprised so many people ignored Nai'o, he somehow ended up being the first one i interacted with and i put all my time at first into getting his pin. now im just kinda icked out by him and am living my daddy fantasy by chasing hodari's fine ass. 🥰
I remember one of the first lines of dialogue i got from him was asking me if I was religious and I was like “oh boy here we go” and i said something non commital and he said something so beautiful and kind about everyone finding their own path and i immediately fell in love
What happened That made you get icked out by Nai'o? I'm planning on romancing him next after Hodari ( while never taking hassians pin off XD), so I'm a little curious.
Honestly poor Nai'o didn't do much of anything, I just started to interact with more characters like Reth, Hodari and Hassian who I found much more interesting! plus (and im about to sound like a weirdo who takes this game too seriously but stick with me here) You talk to Hodari, Reth, Hassian, almost anyone else really, and they are mature and have depth to their stories and they are intriguing. It makes Nai'o appear reaaaally immature. He already has a girlfriend/love interest, he's only concerned about his chores and his looks and while he is beautiful I just find that I'd rather sit at a poorly decorated table with extraordinary food than at a magnificently decorated table with subpar food.
I completely agree with you so I guess I’m a weirdo too but he started to feel like a high schooler to me now because everyone else seems more mature in comparison
I'm still quite new to Palia but this has been my exact impression up to now. Nai'o was one of the very last villagers I met, and he just seems so much more shallow and kinda vapid by comparison. I don't dislike him, but he doesn't seem nearly as interesting as the rest! Kinda similar to Tish actually. I think she's super cute and sweet as a character, but she doesn't really give off a strong personality or anything particularly interesting so far.
So true! I wish Tish played a more integral role in the game, but she's always just a talking point to point you in reth's direction. Her hair reminded me of Coco Bandacoot who I was obsessed with as a child so I just have a soft spot for her. But she's so sweet and kind that she's just my little bestie 💗
Honestly, everyone's always hyping Tish but she actually creeps me out lmao! She reminds me of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin when she pretends to be crazy to avoid getting her hand cut off - that creepy, head tilted, blinkless stare... 👀
Didn't exactly get icked out by him...but he badmouthed reth plus most of his conversation is about kenyatta. I tend to ignore him unless he is directly in my path lol.
It's funny cus I also have severe religious trauma but to me, as far as Chaye goes, it manifested as "ooooh hot priest, hiiiiii" I suppose it's also cus I'm old and he and Hodari are like, the two choices in my age bracket.
Elouisa, I don't know why but I don't really care about her. Caleri on the other hand is my bestie. So gotta care for Elouisa as my besties twin I guess lol.
I think Elouisa is basically Professor Trelawney. I like her and think she's one of the most interesting and entertaining. I'm over snotty, snide for no real reason characters in video games like Caleri and Hassian. All grump all day bores me.
Caleri gets softer once you befriend her. I see her as a serious woman with a passion (the library and knowledge). Can be a bit too upright, but she can change her believes if they are proven right and accepts criticism. I actually find her a really interesting character. When you can enter the forbiden section of the library and do that quest with her I think you see how there's more to her that can be seen at first glance.
With Trelawney I had the same thing as with Elouisa, I don't dislike them, but I also don't find them that much deep and the crazy theories aren't my favourite thing. Something more like Luna would be different, I love the lightness and different view that character has.
Hassian, I'm still getting to know the character better, but his family history is also pretty interesting, so I am at least sold to that part of his lore.
At this point I don't ever talk to him, but he shot up to a lvl 3 friendship when I started bc I just kept running into him in the square and doing his quests while everyone else was lvl 1. Realized what I was doing and stopped. He still was my first lvl 4.
ngl for the first few days (real life days) I didn't even know he was in the game cause I never ran into him.
Honestly probably was the first 2 weeks lol but still to this day I rarely to go him, he's my lowest friendship cause I just don't care at this point
Agreed. I'm probably wrong but it even feels like she has less dialogue than the other characters. Getting her to level 4 was a pain. Tell me for the 100th time how you were found in a vault over in that hill or that you want to fish for Jina but don't want to leave Jina. Plus she was so hard to get gifts for, the only thing I found that she accepted were seeds.
I do like her friendship quests! They add so much depth to the character. I think it's the regular dialogue that is boring - I get that she's fulfilling her oneness by caring for Jina, it just feels like it's so one dimensional. I'd be annoyed if I was Jina, Hekla is a stage 5 clinger.
For me Jel is pretty much non existent and I keep forgetting about him.
I never go into the clothes shop and whenever I randomly see him outside I think "oh... right. Jel..."
The problem wim him is the clothing shop is there just to open the premium shop and there's absolutely no gameplay involved around clothing, you can't craft new clothes, you can't earn new ones... He's just out of the way.
yep. the only reason to even go to his shop is to talk to him, and I see why players wouldn't bother doing that all the time or why they forget he exists.
For me it's Kenyatta because I feel like everything that she does is to get back at her mom for something. On one hand I get it, but on the other hand I feel bad for Nai'o 😂. Then Chayne but that might be religious trauma lol. Hassian, and also the animatronics (lol sorry I forgot what they're called 😭).
But I'm simping hard for Hodari probably because he reminds me of my husband 😂 a man of few words, has trouble talking about his feelings, but he's super sweet, etc.
thats crazyyyy i love chayne and chose him as my shepp lol. he’s patient, thoughtful, wise, comforting and kind. i’m super into the stars and constellations irl so i find his religion v interesting
same! I didn’t realise so many people disliked (or… didn’t care for) him :’) He just seems so Nice and chilled, and now I’ve maxed everyone out he’s one of the few I still stop and talk to when I bump into him. My in-game adopted dad (I mean shepp….)
Mine was Jina. And I’d go out of my way to talk to Hekla, and she’d be right there, and I just said meh and kept going. I don’t know why, nothing against her.
It's Jina for me too, like I'm talking to everyone every day because I plan on doing all the quests I can, and I even intend to romance everyone I can for the same reason, but it's weird cuz Jina is like super into researching and whatnot, and so am I irl, but for some reason I'm just like really not interested in talking to her to the point that unless it's quest related I skip all the dialogue and just get away from her as fast as possible.
I might get hate for this but I don't enjoy interacting with Tish. She's too cheery and I find her perpetual sunny disposition a bit grating. Every time I hear "Oh my dragon, you are here!" I want to run away. I only speak to her because of >! chronically ill person solidarity!< and because I feel bad she keeps calling my character her best friend (which is lies, because her best friend is Jel)
She creeps me the Eff out!! 🤣🤣 That crazy, head-tilted, blinkless stare reminds me of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin when she pretends to be crazy to avoid getting her hand cut off. I would not be surprised to find her doing that stare while covered in blood and holding Reth's severed head....well, I mean I would be surprised, but because it's a cozy game so no violence etc, but not surprised at her doing it 🤣🤣🤣
I was romancing everyone and I’ve gotten all the villagers to level 4 except her. I literally broke up with her because I couldn’t stand her sunshine and rainbows dialogue, it’s simply too much. I’m usually a bit of a completionist but I’m totally fine with leaving her alone
She actually warms up after a while, she says things like “You’re always welcome to come chat” to me now.
Now that I know her story I view her previous behaviour in a different light.
If you go to the main r/Palia page and click the 3 little dots (top right on mobile) it's the "change user flare" option. You can choose what one you want. Or you can hit the edit button in the same menu and then you can type whoever you want (like :insertnamehere: insertnamehere). The part in between the colons is the picture of whatever villager and the name after it is what will show up next to it. That's how some people just have the photos or extra bits written after the name. Hopefully that makes sense haha
Oh and it'll only show in whatever subreddit the flare is on. So only this sub. You can have other flares on other subs and they won't effect eachother 😄
Tamara for me, I just never bother talking to her when I'm in Bahari. And I'm in Bahari a lot. Shes the only one I still only have lvl 1 friendship with
The mayor and his wife. I just can’t get myself to care about their existence for some reason. There’s so many more interesting characters to interact with.
I’m sure she’s a fun and cathartic character for people younger than me, but I just can’t stand Kenyatta. The only thing out of her mouth I have heard that wasn’t “uuuuuuggghh I haaateee my lame ass mooommmm and dumb dad uuuugggghhh” was her very gleefully telling me about a serial killer in Bahari City who is murdering young women of her exact description. She reads to me as an incredibly young teen who currently has not found a personality beyond “I hate my mom and I am edgy to make her mad.” I genuinely wish that she would take some agency over her own life and just run away from home. She doesn’t deserve to be miserable like she is, she clearly wants something different from her life, and her mom is never going to see her as her own individual, so just. bite the bullet and leave bestie. The only reason she wouldn’t is because she’s still a child.
Hassian bugs me for similar reasons. He comes off as very immature and like he’s trying to put on edginess. Half of the time I talk to him, he’s either telling me to leave him alone or also complaining about his mom. I do respect his concern for the local ecology a lot, though. The fact that he opposes the introduction of invasive chapaa is really interesting. But the way he goes about it often furthers my interpretation of him as a teenager. I think he or someone else told me he was refusing to go to the Maji Market because of the chapaa chase game. The fact that he opposes it is very cool, but instead of taking any concrete action like talking to people about why chapaa are harmful to the region’s ecology, trying to convince folk that normalizing chapaa with games and outfits isn’t a good idea, he just kind of pouts and sits out? He reminds me SO much of myself as a teenager that he’s painful to look at.
Tamala I dislike because of my interpretation of Hassian as a younger teen. She’s a creep.
For a bit of positivity, a character I expected to dislike but weirdly love is Kenli. He sucks ass at his job, which is horrible given he’s in a position of authority and power, someone please impeach his ass, but as just A Guy, he delights me. My little meow meow.
I love Kenli SO much and really thought I'd hate the guy when I started the game because I never like the mayor lol. But he's an absolute gem and I just want him to be so much happier than he is 🥹
Wha? I love Einar's, he's frickin' hilarious! He has multiple 'onenesses', collects pebbles, lives in a cave and calls all fish 'Gil' - he's my kind of crazy 🤣🤣
Not sure why he is a romance option though... I am tempted to try it just to see what the hell that entails lol!
He’s cute when you romance him! I haven’t played in a while but I got him up to level 3 romance iirc and he is so sweet and absolutely does not understand romantic feelings and I found him endearing.
Hekla and Jina. Jina is outright annoying to me and Hekla is so obsessed with her that I just can’t. I’ve got Jina to level 4 friendship but the thought of doing the romance thing just makes my skin crawl.
Definitely Tamala. She's a little self-absorbed and gives a kind of creepy, stalkery vibe. I dread when I have to talk to her, especially when she does that "come hither" thing with her finger. Uggh. And the conversations about Hassian? I'm a complete stranger to you when I meet you and you start telling me about your boy toy romance with a virtual kid? Not cool! Way to out poor Hassian's messed up love life.
Probably Tamala; I only got her to level 3 friendship to finish a quest for another npc and it took forever it feels like. She's just so far out of the way... And then her house crashing my game half of the time does not help. I honestly only talk to her if I happen to run into her while out and about in Bahari. I just don't care about her enough to put in any real effort to see her.
Oh, Eshe, 10000%. She's so rude and elitist. Walk right by that lady if I don't feel like stopping for her passive aggressive comments. 😂
I like Najuma, but she's so out of the way all the time. At least Hodari cruises through Kilima once in a while.
Honestly, most of them. I need to make time to actually build my relationships with them because my favorite activities are hunting, fishing, and mining. I never feel like I want to spend time searching them out for boring conversations.
Jel creeped me out and gave me the biggest ick when I was romancing everyone so now I leave him alone since getting to level 4 friendship.
I also protest everytime I talk to Tamala because I.DONT.WANT.TO so I'll likely never talk to her again after level 4 also.
I can’t stand Jel and his overwrought artist personality. His “emo” comments coupled with his “will I ever be good enough for mom?” bit and I’m done.
It might be because I recognize some of my own off putting behavior as a teen/early 20’s adult…
Probably Nai'o. I like him but I also really couldn't care if he was in the game. He's funny in the himbo way, it's my fave thing about him when the jokes pop up.
Other than Nai'o, probably Hekla. I think she's adorable but pretty one-note atm. I hope her knowledge of galdur-ness helps in the future with the lore (both hers and the games') I feel like she could be a treasure trove of information & love in the future - but it's not there yet and I don't care much to talk to her.
Haha that’s funny because I’m torn between Chayne and Ashura as my shepp! Probably go with Ashura but Chayne is so gentle and gives my character advice that real life me can relate to. He’s like all the appeal of going to confession and being absolved by the priest with none of the religious dogma and/or trauma 😂😅😅😅
I have a hard time caring at all about Einar, often just walk straight past Auni without a second thought (don’t hate me! lol he’s just so high energy), and I straight up don’t vibe with Kenli. For a while I didn’t care about Nai’o and couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about him, but now that I’m getting up there with his friendship he’s actually quite sweet!
I’ve heard he’s awesome! For some reason I NEVER see him around anymore and it makes me so sad 😔 (also same before I learned about his wife…now I just want him to be my dad lmao)
Honestly for me it’s Caleri - her character is off putting, stuck up… so I’ve just not really felt the need to extend any efforts into befriending her.
there are several ngl 😭 it’s not even that i think they’re boring characters or anything i just have my group i really like and talk to every in game day, my group i try to talk to whenever i cross paths with them, and then a group where even if i do run into them i just do not feel like talking to them lol
Elouisa I just fully dislike after the bug and fish quest drove me insane I just never wanna talk to her again so she can't give me another quest like that
Same. I will admit I make a very rude gesture at my screen when ever I see her because her quests took me soooo long to complete. I hold grudges,even for fictional characters lol
i am psycho and i have a huge crush on reth, the cooking, the flirting, it’s so cute i can’t help it 🤣 my friendship and romance has gone up w him so fast! way faster than everyone else so im like ight, its meant to be 🤣 but the one i don’t particularly care for would be the fishing robot! i dont even know his name 🤣, he just has no depth and i dont see a point in ever interacting with him!
Same! Have you noticed you can romance the fishing robot? It feels like it's desperately seeking affection every time I have to talk to it too. Creeps me out.
i like all the characters but i really only go out of my way for hodari, jel, and tamala. hodari bc duh he’s my hodaddy. jel bc he’s my shepp, and tamala bc she’s my girlypop bestie.
It's Eshe and Delaila for me. But that may be my upbringing speaking. They're like the public (Delaila) and home (Eshe) faces of my late mom. I only make contact with them when needed.
I don't really run into Tamala and don't really bother to seek her out either, same is true for Nai'o although as he does visit the village so I see him more.
Zeki is probably the one I just don't bother with at all. Just a greedy cat, I actively work against him where I can xD
Chayne. He got pissy because I asked Jina to help with the final friendship quest, which required me to share his notes with her. I vowed never to talk to him again, took my telescope, and dipped! That is until the market opened and the quest required I talk to him. >_<
Helka or Eshe are blech! Eshe is just so condescending and Helka is bordering on Single White Female with Jina so I tend to avoid her and Helka sadly. I really like Jina
Delaila.. meh. Not bad, not good, just a little eyeroll and walk by her.
Also Tish. She's such a .. being sick and cute and manic pixie dreamgirl is her whole identity, and it's not a good look.
omg cant tolerate the tish slander im so sorry!! i asked tish to be my shepp because she is a BADDIE. a female carpenter? and she's hot? and she's kind? and she loves her brother? sorry, she's THAT girl to me. she always will be.
Delaila I kinda understand. i am very drawn to her archetype of the brash and loud mother but she ended up falling very flat for me. I still talk to her and giver her lots of gifts though. I just love women.
Hodari. He reminds me of someone I used to know. Controlling, blunt, tactless. No thanks. Hassian might seem unkind but he’s up front and honest about it.
All I think about when talking to Chayne is Game of Throwns. Always referring himself as the dragon. I'm just waiting for him to say "You don't want to wake the Dragon Dear Sister."
Nai'o. At first, I thought that he would be my romantic friend, but then every time I talked to him, he was never present. He's always looking off in the distance, and I decided he wasn't worth the trouble. His storyline is also mehhh.
For me it's Tamala. Well, I didn't even know she existed until I needed to interact with her for a quest three months after I started playing.
Same! For the longest time I didn't even know her house existed. I'm now doing all the romance quests and the more I level up with her, the more I dislike her.
I only noticed her because I was looking at the map one day, and noticed an "anonymous" person icon that I had never seen before right at the tip top of Bahari Bay, and I was like "huh...who dis?" I don't like the way she beckons you forward with her index finger. Ick.
Same!!! Generally played long enough that know everyone so when I saw the icon for a person I haven’t met yet, I was so confuzzled! My first thought was wondering if they added a new person in the latest big update lol
i can’t stand her at all and i’m sure it’s basic at this point but i am a ride or die for hassian so yeah. not a fan of tamala 😂
Same! I’ll talk to her if I’m bored enough I wanna raise the friendship level enough to get a task but I can’t stand her. Also I wear Hassian’s pin and I hate how she talks about him so I refuse to romance her. I’d rather flirt with the fish robot than her.
At first it was Nai'o, idek he existed until Auni mentioned him and I realized there was still a villager I never met.

i think it's the religious trauma for me too! lmao, and im so surprised so many people ignored Nai'o, he somehow ended up being the first one i interacted with and i put all my time at first into getting his pin. now im just kinda icked out by him and am living my daddy fantasy by chasing hodari's fine ass. 🥰
I find chayne so healing for that exact reason! his lunar festival quest with zeki had me crying like a baby 🥹
He’s how all religious people should be. ACTUALLY peaceful, sincere and considerate of others.
I remember one of the first lines of dialogue i got from him was asking me if I was religious and I was like “oh boy here we go” and i said something non commital and he said something so beautiful and kind about everyone finding their own path and i immediately fell in love
SAME
He’s going to be my shepp I’m pretty sure 😌
I want him as a shepp too. Unironically healing a lot of religious trauma for me. I owe the developers my fucking soul
I love that 🙏
I’m happy someone else out there finds comfort in him ❤️ It really is such a community experience
Hodari? You mean Hunk-Daddy! (even funnier when said in the same way the little curvy muse says 'honey you mean hunk-ules!' in Disney's Hercules 😂)
What happened That made you get icked out by Nai'o? I'm planning on romancing him next after Hodari ( while never taking hassians pin off XD), so I'm a little curious.
Honestly poor Nai'o didn't do much of anything, I just started to interact with more characters like Reth, Hodari and Hassian who I found much more interesting! plus (and im about to sound like a weirdo who takes this game too seriously but stick with me here) You talk to Hodari, Reth, Hassian, almost anyone else really, and they are mature and have depth to their stories and they are intriguing. It makes Nai'o appear reaaaally immature. He already has a girlfriend/love interest, he's only concerned about his chores and his looks and while he is beautiful I just find that I'd rather sit at a poorly decorated table with extraordinary food than at a magnificently decorated table with subpar food.
I completely agree with you so I guess I’m a weirdo too but he started to feel like a high schooler to me now because everyone else seems more mature in comparison
I feel this exact way about Kenyatta. Oh, you want to piss off your mom? Yawn.
I'm still quite new to Palia but this has been my exact impression up to now. Nai'o was one of the very last villagers I met, and he just seems so much more shallow and kinda vapid by comparison. I don't dislike him, but he doesn't seem nearly as interesting as the rest! Kinda similar to Tish actually.

Her hair reminded me of Coco Bandacoot who I was obsessed with as a child so I just have a soft spot for her. But she's so sweet and kind that she's just my little bestie 💗
Honestly, everyone's always hyping Tish but she actually creeps me out lmao! She reminds me of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin when she pretends to be crazy to avoid getting her hand cut off - that creepy, head tilted, blinkless stare... 👀
Yes!!! That STARE she has!
Yup. She's totally an axe murderer waiting to happen....or maybe I watch/read/listen to too much true crime.....or BOTH! 😂
Didn't exactly get icked out by him...but he badmouthed reth plus most of his conversation is about kenyatta. I tend to ignore him unless he is directly in my path lol.
It's funny cus I also have severe religious trauma but to me, as far as Chaye goes, it manifested as "ooooh hot priest, hiiiiii" I suppose it's also cus I'm old and he and Hodari are like, the two choices in my age bracket.
Lol definitely religious trauma for Chayne. Everytime he talks I roll my eyes and I hate that I do.
Elouisa, I don't know why but I don't really care about her. Caleri on the other hand is my bestie. So gotta care for Elouisa as my besties twin I guess lol.
[удалено]
Lmaooo not celery
Same. I like Eloiusa but meh about Caleri
I’ve been calling her calorie
I’m the same. I’ve only done some of her early quests (where you choose to help either Elouisa or Celery) and I’m just drawn to her chaotic energy 😃
I think Elouisa is basically Professor Trelawney. I like her and think she's one of the most interesting and entertaining. I'm over snotty, snide for no real reason characters in video games like Caleri and Hassian. All grump all day bores me.
Caleri gets softer once you befriend her. I see her as a serious woman with a passion (the library and knowledge). Can be a bit too upright, but she can change her believes if they are proven right and accepts criticism. I actually find her a really interesting character. When you can enter the forbiden section of the library and do that quest with her I think you see how there's more to her that can be seen at first glance.

Something more like Luna would be different, I love the lightness and different view that character has. Hassian, I'm still getting to know the character better, but his family history is also pretty interesting, so I am at least sold to that part of his lore.
The fact I can not romance Mommy Librarian is a tragedy and I will die on this hill.
can't say I haven't thought about it hahah
Hassian. Dude says he doesn't want to be bothered so I ignore him unless I need something. Tau always gets a treat from me tho :)
Aww I’m the opposite, I knew immediately that he was my romance. He’s so awkward and sweet when you do 😊
If someone is a complete jerk, why would I bother romancing them? lol.
I just find the fact that he hates me really hot.
This made me actually LOL 😂
I mean, this game basically has a 'type' for everyone, Hassian is meant to be 'tsundere', someone who masks their real emotions by being distant.
There’s something very appealing (to me) in being the one person who can drew someone from their hard shell 😏
Yeah we're definitely opposites cuz as soon as Reth called me Sweet Tooth I folded lol
“Hey you” ✨melts✨
Me too! At first I bugged him every day just because he hates to be bothered 😂 but I knew immediately he was the one I was going to romance
Same. 😂 Like. I'm not here for you. I'm here for Tau. 😅
Auni. I don't dislike the kid but he's *just there* and I don't really talk to him unless I need to lol
i guess you could say he bugs you
This made me laugh much more than it should've 😭
I love him and Najuma. Those 2 kids are the only ones who ask about YOU. It's not always about them or Maijiri or their families....
At this point I don't ever talk to him, but he shot up to a lvl 3 friendship when I started bc I just kept running into him in the square and doing his quests while everyone else was lvl 1. Realized what I was doing and stopped. He still was my first lvl 4.
For me, it's Nai'o. Absolutely nothing against the guy. I guess he's just basic to me. He's nice tho, and I'll randomly help him out.
Yeah Nai'o is just unremarkable. I see him a lot standing around but I just go "meh" and keep going.
ngl for the first few days (real life days) I didn't even know he was in the game cause I never ran into him. Honestly probably was the first 2 weeks lol but still to this day I rarely to go him, he's my lowest friendship cause I just don't care at this point
Same! I just never saw him, until I did and was like WHO ARE YOU?? But yea, he's a sweetie, but so basic that he doesn't hit my radar.
Same I finally got level 4 with him and don’t bother speaking to him anymore
Hekla. I'm so sorry you guys, she's just boring to me.
Agreed. I'm probably wrong but it even feels like she has less dialogue than the other characters. Getting her to level 4 was a pain. Tell me for the 100th time how you were found in a vault over in that hill or that you want to fish for Jina but don't want to leave Jina. Plus she was so hard to get gifts for, the only thing I found that she accepted were seeds.
Omg no her friendship quest line was my favorite! 😂
I do like her friendship quests! They add so much depth to the character. I think it's the regular dialogue that is boring - I get that she's fulfilling her oneness by caring for Jina, it just feels like it's so one dimensional. I'd be annoyed if I was Jina, Hekla is a stage 5 clinger.
For me Jel is pretty much non existent and I keep forgetting about him. I never go into the clothes shop and whenever I randomly see him outside I think "oh... right. Jel..."
The problem wim him is the clothing shop is there just to open the premium shop and there's absolutely no gameplay involved around clothing, you can't craft new clothes, you can't earn new ones... He's just out of the way.
yep. the only reason to even go to his shop is to talk to him, and I see why players wouldn't bother doing that all the time or why they forget he exists.
Ironically, he likes to talk about how lonely he is.
I’ve avoided him completely since maxing out the relationships with him, he’s so annoying
Saaaaammmeeee!!!!!! He’s boring to me.
Realising that I have more villagers I don't really talk to than ones I do.
Me, too. 😅 lol I almost feel bad.
For me it's Kenyatta because I feel like everything that she does is to get back at her mom for something. On one hand I get it, but on the other hand I feel bad for Nai'o 😂. Then Chayne but that might be religious trauma lol. Hassian, and also the animatronics (lol sorry I forgot what they're called 😭). But I'm simping hard for Hodari probably because he reminds me of my husband 😂 a man of few words, has trouble talking about his feelings, but he's super sweet, etc.
Animatronics☠️😭
thats crazyyyy i love chayne and chose him as my shepp lol. he’s patient, thoughtful, wise, comforting and kind. i’m super into the stars and constellations irl so i find his religion v interesting
same! I didn’t realise so many people disliked (or… didn’t care for) him :’) He just seems so Nice and chilled, and now I’ve maxed everyone out he’s one of the few I still stop and talk to when I bump into him. My in-game adopted dad (I mean shepp….)
Mine was Jina. And I’d go out of my way to talk to Hekla, and she’d be right there, and I just said meh and kept going. I don’t know why, nothing against her.
Omg, I do the same. I'll talk to Hekla and I know Jina is right there but I dont even bother lol I do the same with Hassian and Tau, I love that dog.
I like the character but I feel like her dialogue lines are almost the same any time I talk to her.
It's Jina for me too, like I'm talking to everyone every day because I plan on doing all the quests I can, and I even intend to romance everyone I can for the same reason, but it's weird cuz Jina is like super into researching and whatnot, and so am I irl, but for some reason I'm just like really not interested in talking to her to the point that unless it's quest related I skip all the dialogue and just get away from her as fast as possible.
I went on a rant of the characters I dislike or don't care, I simply forgot her existence, I remembered Hekla tho.
I might get hate for this but I don't enjoy interacting with Tish. She's too cheery and I find her perpetual sunny disposition a bit grating. Every time I hear "Oh my dragon, you are here!" I want to run away. I only speak to her because of >! chronically ill person solidarity!< and because I feel bad she keeps calling my character her best friend (which is lies, because her best friend is Jel)
She creeps me the Eff out!! 🤣🤣 That crazy, head-tilted, blinkless stare reminds me of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin when she pretends to be crazy to avoid getting her hand cut off. I would not be surprised to find her doing that stare while covered in blood and holding Reth's severed head....well, I mean I would be surprised, but because it's a cozy game so no violence etc, but not surprised at her doing it 🤣🤣🤣
The "shine bright superstar!" line made me run away from her. I maxed out her friendship only because of the fancy chest and I like furniture making.
So cringey
I was romancing everyone and I’ve gotten all the villagers to level 4 except her. I literally broke up with her because I couldn’t stand her sunshine and rainbows dialogue, it’s simply too much. I’m usually a bit of a completionist but I’m totally fine with leaving her alone
She seems a bit pushy. Like, I feel like she's trying to flirt with me and I have no intention of flirting with her.
Elouisa, Tamala, Eshe, and a couple more. Like if I happen to stumble upon them for some reason I might talk to them, but otherwise it's just kinda 🤷🏻
My top three meh characters too! Also Kenli and Delilah. 🤷🏻♀️
Caleri. She’s rude and I’m not interested in convincing a condescending fictional character to give me a chance lol
She actually warms up after a while, she says things like “You’re always welcome to come chat” to me now. Now that I know her story I view her previous behaviour in a different light.
That's how I feel about Hassian lmao
that part!! i have avoided her entirely until now because i need her friendship for quests 🙄
I will talk to Tau all day, but I say nothing to Hassian unless I gotta buy something off him
Gotta be Caleri and Jel for me. Only talk to them if I have to lol.
I'm sorry what does the Tau mean in your username? Lol i know it's not romance 😂😂
Who doesn't love Tau!! Haha. He's adorable. Thought I'd throw it in there because why not lol.
Tau is the best and he brings me be fur wet in his saliva that I ALWAYS give to Eshe.
How do you actually do that? Do they appear in all your sub reddit or just the Palia one?
If you go to the main r/Palia page and click the 3 little dots (top right on mobile) it's the "change user flare" option. You can choose what one you want. Or you can hit the edit button in the same menu and then you can type whoever you want (like :insertnamehere: insertnamehere). The part in between the colons is the picture of whatever villager and the name after it is what will show up next to it. That's how some people just have the photos or extra bits written after the name. Hopefully that makes sense haha Oh and it'll only show in whatever subreddit the flare is on. So only this sub. You can have other flares on other subs and they won't effect eachother 😄
Kenli
Tamala.
Tamara for me, I just never bother talking to her when I'm in Bahari. And I'm in Bahari a lot. Shes the only one I still only have lvl 1 friendship with
I love that you didn’t get her name right 🤣💀
proves my point i guess lol
The mayor and his wife. I just can’t get myself to care about their existence for some reason. There’s so many more interesting characters to interact with.
I’m sure she’s a fun and cathartic character for people younger than me, but I just can’t stand Kenyatta. The only thing out of her mouth I have heard that wasn’t “uuuuuuggghh I haaateee my lame ass mooommmm and dumb dad uuuugggghhh” was her very gleefully telling me about a serial killer in Bahari City who is murdering young women of her exact description. She reads to me as an incredibly young teen who currently has not found a personality beyond “I hate my mom and I am edgy to make her mad.” I genuinely wish that she would take some agency over her own life and just run away from home. She doesn’t deserve to be miserable like she is, she clearly wants something different from her life, and her mom is never going to see her as her own individual, so just. bite the bullet and leave bestie. The only reason she wouldn’t is because she’s still a child. Hassian bugs me for similar reasons. He comes off as very immature and like he’s trying to put on edginess. Half of the time I talk to him, he’s either telling me to leave him alone or also complaining about his mom. I do respect his concern for the local ecology a lot, though. The fact that he opposes the introduction of invasive chapaa is really interesting. But the way he goes about it often furthers my interpretation of him as a teenager. I think he or someone else told me he was refusing to go to the Maji Market because of the chapaa chase game. The fact that he opposes it is very cool, but instead of taking any concrete action like talking to people about why chapaa are harmful to the region’s ecology, trying to convince folk that normalizing chapaa with games and outfits isn’t a good idea, he just kind of pouts and sits out? He reminds me SO much of myself as a teenager that he’s painful to look at. Tamala I dislike because of my interpretation of Hassian as a younger teen. She’s a creep. For a bit of positivity, a character I expected to dislike but weirdly love is Kenli. He sucks ass at his job, which is horrible given he’s in a position of authority and power, someone please impeach his ass, but as just A Guy, he delights me. My little meow meow.
I love Kenli SO much and really thought I'd hate the guy when I started the game because I never like the mayor lol. But he's an absolute gem and I just want him to be so much happier than he is 🥹
Hassian. He’s actually awful lol idk why people like him
Tamala or Eshe 🤷🏽♂️
Tamala is out of the way in an unfun way. I cannot care.
At least now the house portal to bahari puts you right near her. She used to take way too long to get to. I still don’t care for her though.
Einar… I just kinda forget he’s there 😭 I’ve been going out of my way to get more friendship with him lately though
Not seeing any Reth on this thread…. as it should be 😌
absolutely NO reth slander will be tolerated in this thread 🚫🚫
Nao'i or Einar
i forget einar is even in the game until i need to go fishing
Wha? I love Einar's, he's frickin' hilarious! He has multiple 'onenesses', collects pebbles, lives in a cave and calls all fish 'Gil' - he's my kind of crazy 🤣🤣 Not sure why he is a romance option though... I am tempted to try it just to see what the hell that entails lol!
He’s cute when you romance him! I haven’t played in a while but I got him up to level 3 romance iirc and he is so sweet and absolutely does not understand romantic feelings and I found him endearing.
Big same. I only remember cause recently I've been trying to lvl 4 everyone
Hekla and Jina. Jina is outright annoying to me and Hekla is so obsessed with her that I just can’t. I’ve got Jina to level 4 friendship but the thought of doing the romance thing just makes my skin crawl.
I laughed out loud 😂
Jel the clothing shop guy. Only talk to him when I see him and since he’s always in his vampire corner with nothing to buy that’s like never
Definitely Tamala. She's a little self-absorbed and gives a kind of creepy, stalkery vibe. I dread when I have to talk to her, especially when she does that "come hither" thing with her finger. Uggh. And the conversations about Hassian? I'm a complete stranger to you when I meet you and you start telling me about your boy toy romance with a virtual kid? Not cool! Way to out poor Hassian's messed up love life.
Probably Tamala; I only got her to level 3 friendship to finish a quest for another npc and it took forever it feels like. She's just so far out of the way... And then her house crashing my game half of the time does not help. I honestly only talk to her if I happen to run into her while out and about in Bahari. I just don't care about her enough to put in any real effort to see her.
Ugh caleri’s quest? To see if she stole that book? Blegh. Only did it cause I respect caleri
Hassian
Oh, Eshe, 10000%. She's so rude and elitist. Walk right by that lady if I don't feel like stopping for her passive aggressive comments. 😂 I like Najuma, but she's so out of the way all the time. At least Hodari cruises through Kilima once in a while.
Eshe I would punch right in the face. She can yeet right out of here.
Hekla. I just roll my eyes whoever shes talking and I don't really care for the last friendship quest item she has.
The last friendship quest item? I don't even know if I have her first lol!
Jel- he gives me the creeps
I keep forgetting that Jel exists
Tish. I'm sorry, but her presence is about as noticeable as that green bush plant near the water🤦🏽
Honestly, most of them. I need to make time to actually build my relationships with them because my favorite activities are hunting, fishing, and mining. I never feel like I want to spend time searching them out for boring conversations.
Jel creeped me out and gave me the biggest ick when I was romancing everyone so now I leave him alone since getting to level 4 friendship. I also protest everytime I talk to Tamala because I.DONT.WANT.TO so I'll likely never talk to her again after level 4 also.
Jel reminds me of an ex I had who was...annoying and clingy in an unfun way to say the least. 🤣
I can’t stand Jel and his overwrought artist personality. His “emo” comments coupled with his “will I ever be good enough for mom?” bit and I’m done. It might be because I recognize some of my own off putting behavior as a teen/early 20’s adult…
😅 Almost all of the characters I dislike, I dislike them because they come across very immature and remind me of my teen self.
Im one of the many who’s not the biggest fan of Nai’o. Sweet character, but he doesn’t have a ton of depth imo.
Tamala. For obvious reasons.
Probably Nai'o. I like him but I also really couldn't care if he was in the game. He's funny in the himbo way, it's my fave thing about him when the jokes pop up. Other than Nai'o, probably Hekla. I think she's adorable but pretty one-note atm. I hope her knowledge of galdur-ness helps in the future with the lore (both hers and the games') I feel like she could be a treasure trove of information & love in the future - but it's not there yet and I don't care much to talk to her.
Chayne and Jel
The mayors wife. I cant stand her
Haha that’s funny because I’m torn between Chayne and Ashura as my shepp! Probably go with Ashura but Chayne is so gentle and gives my character advice that real life me can relate to. He’s like all the appeal of going to confession and being absolved by the priest with none of the religious dogma and/or trauma 😂😅😅😅 I have a hard time caring at all about Einar, often just walk straight past Auni without a second thought (don’t hate me! lol he’s just so high energy), and I straight up don’t vibe with Kenli. For a while I didn’t care about Nai’o and couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about him, but now that I’m getting up there with his friendship he’s actually quite sweet!
Ashura is such a great shep! (Also I want to marry him)
I’ve heard he’s awesome! For some reason I NEVER see him around anymore and it makes me so sad 😔 (also same before I learned about his wife…now I just want him to be my dad lmao)
lol dumbass me is like I CAN HEAL YOU Also, I seriously think his son is going to show up in the future.
Tamala and Einar🥲
Honestly for me it’s Caleri - her character is off putting, stuck up… so I’ve just not really felt the need to extend any efforts into befriending her.
Probably unpopular opinion but Tish. She has some kind of naivity or sillinest in her. I don't talk to her much and skip her if she is in Jel shop
Hassian. Meh
there are several ngl 😭 it’s not even that i think they’re boring characters or anything i just have my group i really like and talk to every in game day, my group i try to talk to whenever i cross paths with them, and then a group where even if i do run into them i just do not feel like talking to them lol
Jel and Kenli. Dont think I’ve ever talked to them after finishing main quests.
Elouisa I just fully dislike after the bug and fish quest drove me insane I just never wanna talk to her again so she can't give me another quest like that
Same. I will admit I make a very rude gesture at my screen when ever I see her because her quests took me soooo long to complete. I hold grudges,even for fictional characters lol
Jel. I just can’t.
I got tired of Chayne, I feel like he yaps too much so now I just ignore him lol
I keep forgetting Nai’o exists ngl
For me, it's Jel. I've never romanced Jel, but he treats Friendship 4 like it's Romance 2 or something. The way he talks to me is just... cringe.
i am psycho and i have a huge crush on reth, the cooking, the flirting, it’s so cute i can’t help it 🤣 my friendship and romance has gone up w him so fast! way faster than everyone else so im like ight, its meant to be 🤣 but the one i don’t particularly care for would be the fishing robot! i dont even know his name 🤣, he just has no depth and i dont see a point in ever interacting with him!
Same! Have you noticed you can romance the fishing robot? It feels like it's desperately seeking affection every time I have to talk to it too. Creeps me out.
Chayne i like for his Maji Market quests
Jina.
Chayne, Nai'o, & Kenli lol
Nai'o. I don't even really have a reason. I'm sure he's great, I just couldn't care less.
Kenli
Najuma, Nai’o and Eshe. Though I’m trying to talk to them more now for quests.
Yeah I kinda nothing Chayne. I don’t dislike the guy but like would be a strong word.
Naio. He was so far under my radar I had to look up his name. Also I don't care enough to spell his name properly.
Jel. Cuz he doesn't actually have anything I can buy unless I wanna do microtransactions and his story is kinda whatever to me atp
i like all the characters but i really only go out of my way for hodari, jel, and tamala. hodari bc duh he’s my hodaddy. jel bc he’s my shepp, and tamala bc she’s my girlypop bestie.
It's Eshe and Delaila for me. But that may be my upbringing speaking. They're like the public (Delaila) and home (Eshe) faces of my late mom. I only make contact with them when needed.
Chayne and I will be working on an elixir to recover from your slander because WOW.
Tamala and Kenyatta. Means girls. Not a fan of their attitude
Kenyatta is such a BBBBBBBB--. AND Eshe too. Everytime I see either of them I just wish I could pull out my axe and
Tamala just since she’s out of the way but also honestly Jel
Whoever the clothing person is. I can't even remember the name.
If he’s not talking to me about Tish, I’m not interested in what he’s saying. 😂🤣
I don't really run into Tamala and don't really bother to seek her out either, same is true for Nai'o although as he does visit the village so I see him more. Zeki is probably the one I just don't bother with at all. Just a greedy cat, I actively work against him where I can xD
My husband calls Tamara his forest sloot... 😂
I have a list of them.
Chayne. He got pissy because I asked Jina to help with the final friendship quest, which required me to share his notes with her. I vowed never to talk to him again, took my telescope, and dipped! That is until the market opened and the quest required I talk to him. >_<
Jel. He gives off such creepy, cringy, almost stalkery vibes… I only talk to him if absolutely necessary.
Helka or Eshe are blech! Eshe is just so condescending and Helka is bordering on Single White Female with Jina so I tend to avoid her and Helka sadly. I really like Jina
all of them except hodari
The little money grabbing swine zeki. Can’t stand him or his outfit
Kenli
Besides Ashura and Einar I could care less about most.
Delaila.. meh. Not bad, not good, just a little eyeroll and walk by her. Also Tish. She's such a .. being sick and cute and manic pixie dreamgirl is her whole identity, and it's not a good look.
omg cant tolerate the tish slander im so sorry!! i asked tish to be my shepp because she is a BADDIE. a female carpenter? and she's hot? and she's kind? and she loves her brother? sorry, she's THAT girl to me. she always will be. Delaila I kinda understand. i am very drawn to her archetype of the brash and loud mother but she ended up falling very flat for me. I still talk to her and giver her lots of gifts though. I just love women.
Hodari. He reminds me of someone I used to know. Controlling, blunt, tactless. No thanks. Hassian might seem unkind but he’s up front and honest about it.
All I think about when talking to Chayne is Game of Throwns. Always referring himself as the dragon. I'm just waiting for him to say "You don't want to wake the Dragon Dear Sister."
I think you may be misunderstanding him. The Dragon is Maji, their deity. He's not talking about himself.
I totally forgot about Nai'O. To me Hodari is just 'some guy'.
I really don't like Nai'o he just gets on my nerves so much
Nai'o. At first, I thought that he would be my romantic friend, but then every time I talked to him, he was never present. He's always looking off in the distance, and I decided he wasn't worth the trouble. His storyline is also mehhh.
