| Birthday | Spring 8 |

| Family | None |
Kappa is a mythical being that lives in Mother’s Lake. His birthday is on Spring 8th. If you set your farmer’s birthday on the same day, his birthday will be on Spring 9th instead.
Schedule

Kappa only stays in Mother’s Lake year-round. However, the lake freezes over in Winter, making him inaccessible. You can only give gifts to Kappa in the Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
Below we’ll add tables for his pre-marriage schedule and his post-marriage schedule.

Gift Preferences

Kappa only accepts Cucumbers as a gift. Every other item is considered trash and will result in a friendship loss. Cucumbers can only be grown in Spring, so it’s best to keep a stockpile of them for use in Summer and Autumn.
| Type of Gift | Items |
|---|---|
| Loves | Crops: Cucumber |
| Hates | Miscellaneous: Everything else |
Best Gifts for Each Season

| Season | Item | Where to Find It |
|---|---|---|
| Spring, Summer, Autumn | Cucumber | Harvest from Cucumber seeds purchased at the General Store during Spring. |
Marriage Requirements

Kappa is a special marriage candidate and does not have traditional heart events. To marry him, you must complete a series of difficult late-game challenges. Once they are all met, you can propose by tossing a Blue Feather into Mother’s Lake.

|---|---|
| Reach Red Heart Level | Offer a cucumber to Kappa every day he is available |
| Own the Big Bed | Purchase the final house upgrade from Gotts |
| Reach Year 5 | Play the game until you get to Year 5 |

| Catch all fish | Catch every type of fish, including the 6 Kings |
| Find all mine items | Find one of every item available in both the Spring and Lake mines |

Friendship Perks

Marrying Kappa requires you to collect 9 Kappa Orbs, which fuse together into a Kappa Gem that restores your fatigue when equipped.
Also, throwing cucumbers into Kappa’s lake for 10 consecutive days will prompt him to give you a special Power Berry that cuts your fatigue rate in half.
