Tate Farley
Myrtle Hollow's Sunny Farmer!
Tate loves tackling any job - big or little - with a smile as bright as the sunshine above her! Originally a city kid with a bad case of asthma, Tate was sent at a young age to live with her grandparents just outside of Myrtle Hollow for the benefits of the fresh, clean air. The strategy seemed to work - as Tate grew, she gradually transformed from a sickly and frail child into a hale and hearty farm girl. As a young adult, she moved out of her grandparents' house, opting to settle down a town over in Myrtle Hollow, where land was notably cheaper than the town she grew up in. Now, in her late twenties, she's the proud owner of a small - yet profitable - organic farm!
No job left unfinished...
And no friend left unmet is Tate's motto! An extrovert who always sees the best in people, Tate is more than eager to make friends with others. While not bubbly, per se, she is cheery and bright, and brings that cheer to her friendships and work alike. Still - don't get the impression that just because she's sunny, she's got her head in the clouds. Tate is down to earth and determined - some would say headstrong - and she knows what she wants out of life. Some townsfolk are surprised at times how much joy Tate seems to take in even the most strenuous farmwork, but really, Tate doesn't think it should be that surprising. The hard work and fresh air out on the farm quite literally turned her life around, after all, and she loves the life she lives as much as the people she meets! Deep down, she knows part of the reason she pushes herself so hard is because she's afraid of her asthma returning and leaving her incapacitated once again. The specter of her illness definitely still follows her around, and her greatest fear is becoming so frail she's unable to manage the farm - but as long as she keeps moving and keeps smiling, she hopes to keep that fear at bay!

Quotes
"Yuka, wake up, you sleepyhead, you! We've finally got new neighbors - someone moved in!"
"Yeah, farming can be tough work. But planting something, nurturing it, seeing it grow, and then knowing that someone gets to enjoy it? To me, there's nothing better in the world."
"Listen - I don't know much about monsters, but I do know that you're living, thinking folks, and you have SOULs, and you feel. And that's good enough for me. So, yeah, I want to be your friend."

Fun Facts
- Tate's first present from Papyrus was a shirt that he bought in the Underground. It reads "benign potato" and has a picture of french fries on it. Tate unironically loves this shirt.
- In her early twenties, Tate took some community college classes on farming and agriculture, and small business management, but she never finished a degree. Tate felt her first-hand experience of running a farm with her grandparents was more than enough to prepare her for striking out on her own!
- Tate's front yard contains the oldest known pine tree in Myrtle Hollow, so her farm is named Old Pine Farm in its honor!
- Tate has been playing piano since she was 7 - it was one of the few things she was able to throw herself into as a sickly child.
Farm Animals
Born to one of Old Mac's cats, Palesky was the very first animal that Tate adopted after purchasing Old Pine Farm. Even as a kitten, Palesky proved herself to be a fierce mouser - which is good luck, considering that the old barn at Old Pine was host to a ton of mice and rats. Now, though, every corner of the farm is mouse-free, and Palesky spends most of her days sleeping in a convenient sunbeam (or demanding the expensive cat food in loud meows).
Relationships
Where one of these girls is, the other often isn't far behind! Tate and Yuka are neighbors and girlfriends; Yuka moved in to her grandfather's old estate shortly after Tate started Old Pine Farm, and Tate was overjoyed to have a young woman her age living next door. The two hit it off, and the rest is history! Tate and Yuka enjoy gardening, foraging, cooking, and picnicking together. Their evenings are often spent together with Yuka creating art and Tate playing piano. The girls trust one another 100%, and even know where each other's spare keys are - both have an open door, come and go as you please policy for the other. Tate is immensely grateful for Yuka's unflagging companionship, often citing Yuka as the reason Myrtle Hollow began to feel like it could be more than just a place to live - and started feeling like home.
