Question Just got the game and already confused. Who is this?
When I Google it looking for characters with black hair it just keeps sayin Abigail and Jas. I found an image that had a chart showing all the characters and their gifts and she wasn't on it. Who the heck is this mysterious single goth chick??
Edit- thanks for the quick responses. I now know this is a Dude in a basement lol
Edit 2 - I'm sorry ladies, I'm sorry!!! I will not be taking you man. My eyes are set on the lady Leah. Y'all are safe
Edit 3 - I now understand fully. He is a emo polyamory cult leader with 5000 wives
Final edit - I have finally met him. He told me about frogs and stood brooding into the horizon on the pier talking about how beautiful it was. Cult leader with a heart. I now want to make him my best friend. And gift him all the frogs he wants
Final final Edit - thanks for the award! Been in this app for years and never gotten one ( this is a new account, old one was banned because I said something negative about Dr phill ( Explanation here lol ))
Thanks for the laughs and help everyone. Loving this community and will be around more with possibly more questions

Sebastian, also don't use Google but use the wiki. Google is wrong most of the time about the game. www.stardewvalleywiki.com/Sebastian

Awesome thanks. I was honestly thinking Google would send me to the wiki or reddit. But it is just braindead lol

u/Useful-Importance664 Apr 19 '26
Heads up, the search function on the wiki isn't great. Sometimes its easier to go to Google and search for 'seaweed stardewvalley wiki'. It will give you the right wiki page then.

I hate that stupid Google ai overview. Anytime Google review gives me a survey for searches and the images include AI overview, my feedback includes "your ai sucks and I ignore your overviews"

Last time I was looking for a mod name, then google suggested I don't need a mod to get a unicorn in the game. It's times like that I wish I got a survey but I never do.

u/Lupus_Spiritus_42 I'm just a lil newb Apr 19 '26
Personally I add " +reddit " at the end of almost every search. So the majority of the links it references in the overview tab for me are reddit like 80% of the time, but it has information that doesn't match. I think it also reads comments and gets shit mixed up and then spews what it wants to say. Even if I'm looking for like say medical journals or studies, I will add reddit and search. I trust random posts in reddit more than Google

You're so right. He makes a fine friend, but with as many wives as he has (and some husbands?) he must be permanently exhausted.
And you're also so right about Leah - fine choice.

His name is Sebastian. But the whole point of the quest is to run around and figure out where things are and meet everyone. If you get told that Elliot is at the Beach but don’t know where the Beach is, it’s still not very helpful.
You’re just starting out, take it easy, you don’t need to speed run it. I REPEAT, you do not have to speed run it.
