 If you get to know Leah Stardew Valley, you might become close friends or even more. This guide will show you how to make Leah happy with gifts she loves, spend time with her, and understand her daily life in Stardew Valley.

Leah used to live in a big city. She moved to the Pelican town because she wanted a peaceful life and also to focus on her art. She used to have a special friend named Kel, but they aren’t together anymore. Now, Leah lives happily in her small cottage.

Below is Leah’s daily routine, with any special events or weather variations, across all seasons.

Dating

When you reach eight hearts with her, give her a Bouquet. You can buy it from Pierre General Store. She’ll become your girlfriend.

Proposal

When you and Leah become close friends and reach ten hearts, you can ask her to marry you! But, first, you need to buy a special item called a Mermaid’s Pendant. To find it, go to the beach when it’s raining. Look for a man called the Old Mariner. He sells the Mermaid’s Pendant for 5,000 gold. If it doesn’t rain, you can use a Rain Totem to make it rain and still buy the pendant.

But there are two important things you need before the Old Mariner will sell it to you:

Once you have the Mermaid’s Pendant, give it to Leah, and she’ll say yes to marrying you!

Marriage

After three days of giving the Pendant, you’ll get married to Leah. She will move into your farmhouse. Also, she will bring her room, art supplies, and plants. Outside, she’ll also set up a little workspace where she can work on her sculptures. 

After marriage, Leah will help with different farm tasks like watering crops, feeding animals, fixing fences, giving gifts, and decorating.

If things don’t work out with Leah and you don’t want to continue this marriage, you can visit the Mayor’s house to get a divorce. After the divorce, Leah won’t be as friendly, and talking to her might feel awkward. But if you change your mind later, there’s a way to make things right! You can reset Leah’s memory by using a special shrine (which becomes available after helping the Wizard). This gives you a chance to start over with her.
