Back in 2019, Ranch Story covered varying topics relating to Harvest Moon 64 in honor of its 20th anniversary.
These topics were posted to our Tumblr blog (and have since been ported to Wordpress), but I thought it fitting that we should talk about a particular piece of cutting room floor information here on these forums. That said, how many of you have heard the name Princess Vanilla?
Some of you may have heard whispers of her name, or may have seen only sparse information in relation to her.

So, who is she exactly?
Well, if you've ever had the chance to look into 64's code, there's unused sprites and correlating dialogue data relating to the character named "Princess Vanilla". The premise of her backstory is as follows: The princess was kidnapped from the Prune Kingdom by a mole, cursed to take the form of a turtle, and was forced to marry a frog (!), before she was rescued by the Harvest Sprites. However, the princess is quite sassy and prone to doing things her own way. Unlike a certain princess from the Toadstool Kingdom, Princess Vanilla has more characteristics that are similar to that of the Witch Princess, leading us to believe (here at Ranch Story) that she may have been the first conceptualized special bachelorette. Her dialogue includes interactions between the bachelorettes, as well as hints of something else between a certain inventor of Flowerbud Village. Ever wonder why Rick never had a rival match, but all the other bachelors did? Princess Vanilla may hold the key... to his heart, that is.
Thanks for reading! You can check our full Wordpress article here, or check out her Wiki page for more information!
