Profile

Personal summary

Erwa was born on Autumn of Day 15 and the second eldest son of seven brothers. Erwa and his brothers moved to Portia with their grandmother. Erwa is equipped with a keen sense of sight and hearing, making him a natural fit for the local newspaper in Portia, the Portia Times. He wishes to one day make the paper into a respectable one.

Physical appearance

Erwa, like all of his brothers, is a rather rotund man. He has short, dark hair under an orange bucket hat with a red headband. He wears glasses with blue and green frames perched on his hat, and he has a full beard. He wears his orange sweater vest emblazoned with the trademark calabash gourd and Hulu name over the top of a pink short-sleeved shirt with magenta stripes on the sleeve. Strangely, Erwa appears to have his shirt on inside-out, as the Hulu name is printed backwards. His pink shorts are patterned with yellow hearts, and he has pink shoes on over his yellow socks.

Related characters

Erwa has lots of family members in Portia, including his grandmother, Yeye; his older brother, Dawa; and his younger brothers, Sanwa, Siwa, Wuwa, Liuwa, and Qiwa. He is Buddies with Mei, his colleague at the Portia Times.

Relationship

Erwa is one of the potential bachelors that the player can romance.

Upon reaching Friend status at four full hearts, the player can confess their love to him with a Heart Knot. If the confession is successful, his relationship status changes to Boyfriend. After Erwa has become the player's boyfriend, upon reaching Lover status at eight full hearts, the player can then propose to him with a Wedding Ring. If the proposal is successful, his relationship status changes to Husband. Once certain other conditions have been met, Erwa and the player can then try for children.

Additionally, upon meeting certain relationship levels, certain perks are rewarded.

Chat

	Dialogue →

Chat is a basic social interaction available at any relationship level. Chatting with Erwa once a day can increase his relationship by 1 point, or 2 points with the Smooth Talk skill; subsequent chatting, on the same day, only results in the same conversation without any relationship gain.

Erwa's dialogue may change every day and every season. Erwa may also comment about certain events or missions. Higher relationship levels, including romantic involvement, also change Erwa's dialogue.

In the event that Erwa has a desire, gifting the wanted item will provide the higher tier points; otherwise, on non-desired events, the item gives the base point value. The birthday or festival day relationship bonus applies when gifting a desired item.

Dine

If the player chooses to dine at The Round Table with Erwa during a play date or date, it is recommended to order dishes he will like. If asked before ordering, Erwa will sometimes tell the player exactly which dishes to order; other times, he will just give little hints. In the event that Erwa does not specify the exact foods desired, the player should order between three and six dishes, depending on what hint he gives. It is recommended to order each of those dishes from different courses, ex. ordering one Appetizer, Meat, Vegetable, Dessert, and Drink course each, rather than five Desserts.

Erwa's food preferences are listed below. The player is advised to use these preferences only when Erwa does not tell the player what to order. If Erwa tells the player a list of dishes to order or gives a hint, it is advised to follow his wishes instead. The full restaurant menu can be found at The Round Table page.
