Fields of Mistria Marriage Candidates: All 12

Fields of Mistria has 12 marriage candidates — six bachelors and six bachelorettes — and every one of them can go from stranger to spouse now that the 1.0 update added proposals, weddings and married life. Ten of them are ordinary townsfolk you meet during your first week, while the last two, Seridia and Caldarus, are secret candidates hidden behind the main story and the mines questline. Choosing among them is the hard part: each has a distinct personality, a different job around town and their own birthday, so the right pick depends on who you actually enjoy spending time with. That means the bachelorette pool is just as strong as the bachelor pool, with plenty of romance archetypes to choose from on both sides. Whether you already have a favorite from your first week or you are still weighing the options, reading up on everyone before you start farming hearts will save you a lot of wasted effort, and it helps to know that no candidate is locked behind a paywall — every heart you earn comes purely from time spent with them in-game. Here is the complete list of every candidate, what they do, and what it takes to marry them.

All 12 Marriage Candidates

The full roster of marriage candidates, with their roles and birthdays, looks like this:

Name	Role	Birthday
Adeline	Acting leader of Mistria	Winter 18
Celine	Gardener	Summer 14
Juniper	Bathhouse mage	Autumn 26
Reina	Inn chef	Autumn 12
Valen	Town doctor	Autumn 1
Seridia	Dragon Priestess (secret)	Winter 2
Balor	Traveling merchant	Summer 10
Eiland	Archaeologist	Summer 20
Hayden	Sweetwater Farm owner	Winter 8
March	Blacksmith	Spring 16
Ryis	Carpenter	Spring 4
Caldarus	Dragon guardian (secret)	Spring 25

Remember that a birthday falls on the same date every year, so mark your favorites on the town calendar and save a loved gift for those days — a well-timed birthday present is one of the fastest heart boosts in the entire game.

Six Bachelors and Six Bachelorettes

The twelve candidates split exactly in half, which means there is plenty of variety no matter who you prefer to court. On the male side you have the charming merchant Balor, the history-obsessed archaeologist Eiland, the animal-loving farmer Hayden, the grumpy blacksmith March, the calm carpenter Ryis and the mysterious dragon guardian Caldarus. On the female side there is the determined leader Adeline, the green-thumbed gardener Celine, the proud bathhouse mage Juniper, the warm inn chef Reina, the dependable doctor Valen and the secretive priestess Seridia. Since they all live and work in the same small town, you will run into most of them daily, which makes raising hearts with several candidates at once very tempting even if you can only marry one of them, so it is worth taking a season to compare everyone before you settle.

Secret Candidates: Seridia and Caldarus

Two candidates are not available from the start, and both are worth the extra effort because they are among the most fleshed-out characters in the game. Seridia is the Dragon Priestess who only becomes a proper character after you complete the mines questline, while Caldarus is the dragon guardian of Mistria, awakened when you repair his broken statue and unknowingly make a pact with him. Both have their own heart events, loved gifts, date outfits and wedding content, so they are fully realized partners rather than afterthoughts to the main story. Because their unlock conditions are tied to story progress, players who want to marry them need to push the main quest alongside their daily farming, and the exact requirements are still being confirmed as the feature evolves across patches, so check the current version notes before you plan around them (待确认).

How to Choose Your Partner

With a dozen candidates, the best advice is to let personality win over stats — pick the villager whose heart events and dialogue you enjoy the most, since you will see a lot of them after marriage. If you want a warm, low-drama partner, the friendly characters like Hayden and Reina are safe bets, while the prickly March has one of the most rewarding romance arcs in the game if you enjoy a slow-burn challenge. Community tier lists on Reddit rank the candidates into favorites and underdogs, but those rankings are personal opinion, not fact, so treat them as entertainment rather than a shopping list, because the partner another player loves may not be the partner you enjoy most. Whatever you decide, the bachelor guide and the characters guide give you the personality details to compare before you commit to anyone.

Requirements to Get Married

Marriage follows a clear chain: reach high hearts with a candidate, date them, and keep raising hearts until the game hands you the engagement ring recipe. The recipe arrives from Elsie once you are at a high enough heart level with a dating candidate, but crafting it requires a material only available after reaching level 90 of the mines — the one real gate on the whole process. With the ring in hand, a special “Discuss” prompt appears when you talk to your partner, and you can propose right away or postpone the question for later. Once you propose, you pick a wedding date as early as five days out, customize the flowers, cake and reception meal, and walk down the aisle at the Sleeping Dragon Inn, where your spouse moves in with you afterward; for the full step-by-step on proposals and the ceremony, read the romance guide.

Tips and Things to Know

Before you tie the knot, a few things are worth knowing so the wedding goes smoothly. You can date multiple people and even see every proposal event, but you can only marry one, so choose deliberately rather than rushing the first eligible heart you reach. After the wedding your spouse moves into your farmhouse, sends you three pieces of their personal furniture in the mail the next day, and about two weeks later you can discuss having children together. Gifts are the fastest lever throughout the whole process, so keep a loved gift for your future spouse in stock at all times — the gift guide covers every candidate’s favorites in one place, and since marriage only arrived in 1.0, some details like exact heart thresholds are still being adjusted, so trust what you see in-game if any number looks different (待确认).
