Who is Emily in Stardew Valley?

Emily is one of the main NPC villagers seen around Pelican Town. She lives with her sister Haley at their parents’ house south of the Town Square at 2 Willow Lane. She works every day at Gus’ Stardrop Saloon nearby to help make ends meet while her parents are traveling, and she aspires to design clothes full-time.

She otherwise can either be seen walking around town, or at her home tailoring. Once you unlock the Cloth item during your playthrough, she’ll visit the Farm and offer for you to use her sewing machine at her house to make all kinds of different clothes for your character.

Also, once you repair the bus that goes to the Calico Desert, she’ll take it to go visit her friend Sandy, who runs the Oasis shop there. She’ll also travel to Ginger Island once you’ve unlocked it via Willy’s ship.

In order to help build friendships in the game, as well as romantic relationships, offering gifts is one of the key elements to building up those precious heart points. Every NPC in Pelican Town has their own likes and dislikes that apply to potential gifts, and of course you don’t want to offer someone something that disgusts them.

Emily expresses her love for designing clothes from scratch, but laments that Cloth is hard to come by in Pelican Town. This gives a really good hint of what kind of gift to give her. You can offer her up to two gifts per in-game week, plus one on her birthday which is the 27th day of Spring. Birthday gifts give eight times as many friendship points, plus unique dialogue, so you’ll definitely want to make note of that.
