Appearances[edit]
InDoubutsu no Mori andDoubutsu no Mori+[edit]
On February 14 inDoubutsu no Mori andDoubutsu no Mori+, all female villagers in town send male players a letter with a gift for Valentine's Day. One month later, on March 14, all male villagers in town send female players a letter with a gift for White Day. This is a reflection of how Valentine's Day is traditionally celebrated in Japan; women give men gifts on Valentine's Day, and men give women reciprocal gifts on White Day.
Villagers only send letters if the player has spoken to them. The attached item varies based on the player's friendship level with that villager and is the same for both Valentine's Day and White Day:
- Max friendship – randomraffle furniture
- Friendship value of 80 or more – random furniture from the town's raregroup
- Friendship value of less than 80 – random clothing from the town's common group
White Day does not appear inDòngwù Sēnlín.
