About this image

Since I somehow was able to create what you can consider a nearly full draft in a short amount of time for my other alien npc I thought I'd start on the writing for another one while I'm trying to add and test events and dialogue out.

I thought about creating a demon npc that you'd free, but felt like I could be a bit more creative with it so I decided on what is essentially a space Tiefling. There was also some untapped lore in Stardew Valley that I felt could be touched on and it would link what I'm doing to the base game which is good.

Also created some lore for the other npc's species (including name for the species, lifespan, culture, etc.) as well as for this one. I will be incorporating it in their dialogues so you can naturally learn more about the specifics of the species that the npc belongs to.

To give a bit of a taste:
This npc (J'Tae) is an aged Elf (within the Stardew Valley universe, of course they're called Tieflings in others while elves are different). The same Elves in the lore that despite having seemingly existed didn't have any bone remains get discovered. Through legends that have passed down, they apparently came from another realm and becoming the first advanced space travelling species in this one. Their homeworld is one of the very rare planets to also have a strong presence of magic and eventually a fraction of them settled here for a time before leaving and without sharing their knowledge of space travel to the less advanced species that lived here.

J'Tae is over 500 years old and has lived on the planet for over 100 years so far to simply live out her final 200-300 years watching the advancement of humans unlike Hasla who recently arrived for research purposes.

Will be marriageable. Already have gotten several events including the 8 heart one done.

With all that said enjoy these 2 portrait designs and the WIP sprite to match one of these designs. Used Emily's portrait and sprites from the original Mighty Nein in Stardew Valley as a base which in its permissions section allows me to include this in my mod (though just like for the other portraits I informed the author anyway to make them aware and in case they ever change their mind).

Will also tweak the other npc portrait since I felt it was too far down on the npc to the point the top of her head is not seen (going to move the camera on her up a bit and complete the top of her head basically).

    I always wondered why Elfs left no bones in Stardew
    was it their burial practices that left no bones, or did they just not have any to begin with?
