Spoiler Alert: This page may contain spoilers. Proceed with caution!


Ginger's Diary is an item that the player can unlock only after the events of Parting, and can be viewed from the photo album menu. It contains several illustrated diary entries that Ginger had done over the years, including a few entries from when she was a child. It appears that Ginger did not bother with her diary much until after the player's arrival in Portia; the entries increase in frequency as the events of Parting approach.

It is revealed in her diary that she has known Mint since childhood, and that she worries about how Gust blames her for their mother's death. She also privately grieves that she is unlikely to ever know true love or make a family of her own, though later entries in her diary thank the player (as her spouse) for helping her achieve those dreams.

Entries[]

Any entries that refer to the player by a specific pronoun will automatically use "he" if the player chose a male character and "she" if the player chose a female character during character creation. In the following text, these instances of variable pronouns are represented by "he/she."

The Hateful Sun[]

Ginger's Diary Gust Came Back

Gust came back from Atara today, I thought he was never coming back. But I'm really glad! I always thought he hated me for what happened to Ma. But he doesn't! Yay! And QQ! Don't even get me started! He's soooo cute! ^-^

Bitter Taste[]

Ginger's Diary Bitter Taste

Doctor Singh came by today and gave me some of his new medicine. It was so bitter! And I have to drink it everyday! Luckily Uncle Russo was standing by with his Pumpkin Drops.

A New Kid![]

Young Mint and Gale

Papa brought a new kid to town today from Vega 5. He's a little over ten but he's already helping with some of the engineering work, such a genius! Gust was so jealous though, since Papa really likes Mint. Gust gets jealous so easily, haha! But Mint is kind of cute!

A Thought[]

Ginger's Diary A Thought

I just read an interesting statement in a book today: Being depressed is like a monotonous brush, it'll paint a layer of gray over everything! I agree! I've suffered depression from time to time after I've been sick. But I've learned to live with it and make the most of it. After Gust came home and started taking me for walks after the sun set, I felt even better! If life gives you gray paint, try to make a rainbow out of it, somehow! Go me!

Bracelet[]

Ginger's Diary Bracelet

After Gust and Albert (who I think likes me! Maybe?) started their company, Gust has become so busy! I'm kind of jealous of him, I want to go out and make money as well! >_< Maybe if I make a bracelet someone will buy it?

Hard Work Always Pays![]

Ginger's Diary Hard Work Always Pays

I'm so happy today! Martha really liked my bracelet, she even gave me a whole cake for it! ^_^ This feeling of accomplishment is the best! I think I'll make some more, I'll ask Papa, Gust, and Uncle Russo to find me some materials. Oh, and the cake was delicious!

Camera![]

Ginger's Diary Camera

I saw my first photo camera today, it looked so small! It was overcast today, so Erwa dropped by to take some photos of my family. He borrowed the camera from the Atara reporter in town for a few days. I looked pretty good in the photo, right? >_<

New Builder?[]

Ginger's Diary New Builder

I met a new person in town while out walking with Gust today, Papa said he/she was the new Builder in town. I really appreciate a person so young staking out on his/her own. It takes a lot of courage! I hope he/she does well.

Stories[]

Ginger's Diary Stories

Player dropped by to tell me about his/her adventures around Portia. I didn't know it was still so dangerous around our town. I wonder what all the creatures in the ruins look like, so interesting! Also, Player is not only a great Builder, he's/she's also a great adventurer as well!

Yu-Pei[]

Ginger's Diary Yu-Pei

Papa gave me a Yu-Pei today, it looks so pretty! I'm going to make it into an accessory and gave(sic) it to him/her as a gift. What do you think, Diary? I'll say it's for my brother first so he/she doesn't catch onto the surprise, haha.

Whisper of the Heart[]

Ginger's Diary Whisper of the Heart

I haven't been feeling well lately, my heart races and my body aches. Can someone like...no, love someone like me? I think love can cure all pain. And I really want to be with him/her...am I too selfish to wish for this? I need to think about it.

Proposal![]

He/she proposed to me today! I'm so excited that I don't know what to write!

Let me compose myself. Let's see, to actually meet someone who loves you...I want to start a family with him/her. But...I don't want to be a burden...so I gave him/her a lot of unreasonable tests, if he/she gave up, it might be for the best...sigh...
I hope he/she doesn't give up.

Starlight Island[]

Ginger's Diary Starlight Island

Starlight Island is so pretty! He/she took me to that island today, I'm so happy he/she did. There's just this serenity in place, with the ocean, the breeze, and the sky. I wish I could keep that moment bottled up forever.

My Sleeping Love[]

Everyday, waking up to you right beside me is my greatest fulfillment. I don't know how long I have with you...but I'll treasure each and everyday.(sic)

Getting Worse[]

Ginger's Diary Getting Worse

The pain in my body is getting worse. I can't bare(sic) to tell him/her. But I don't know how much longer I have. I must put on a brave face everyday. My heart crushes every time I think how my love would be so sad.

The One Left Behind[]

Ginger's Diary The One Left Behind

The following, final entry differs slightly depending on whether the player has children, and if any, how many they have.

If the player has no children

My entire body aches. I try to be strong, but it's so painful. I know I don't have much time left. Dr. Xu tried his best, and if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have lasted this long. Since I caught this disease when I was twelve, I knew I wouldn't live a long life. I made my peace, but I still wanted to realize a family, a love. I'm so sorry that I couldn't live out my life with the love of my life...

Player, you're probably reading this Diary right now. I'm sorry that I didn't write an entry everyday so that there's more for you to remember of me. I don't know how to describe my love for you right now, it just makes me tear up and my heart ache. I hope you live a long and happy life. If what Minister Lee said is true, one day we'll be seeing each other again.

Player, you're probably reading this Diary right now. I'm sorry that I didn't write an entry everyday so that there's more for you to remember of me. Child 1, Child 2, if you're also reading, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you through your life, when you needed a mother. I don't know how to describe my love for you right now, it just makes me tear up and my heart ache. I hope you all live a long and happy life, I'll always be by your side. If what Minister Lee said is true, when your time's finally up, I'll be waiting for you on the other side.

If the player only has one child, the second child's name is omitted.
