Leah is one of Stardew Valley’s warmest and most down-to-earth villagers. She prefers quiet moments in nature over the busyness of town life and spends her days sculpting in a cozy cottage south of your farm. If you enjoy foraging, exploring the forest, or simply getting to know characters with a creative heart, Leah is a wonderful person to befriend. This guide covers her schedule, gifts, heart events, movie choices, and what life looks like when she becomes your partner.

Who is Leah in Stardew Valley?

Leah moved to the valley to escape the city and pursue her dream of becoming an artist. She works mostly with wood and clay, often inspired by the forests around her. Although she loves her new life, she sometimes worries about her career or whether she made the right decision by leaving her old life behind. She has a complicated history with her ex-partner Kel, which appears in a few of her heart events. Her birthday is on Winter 23 and giving her a gift on that day gives a huge friendship boost.

Leah’s Cottage

During Spring, Summer and Fall you need at least two hearts to enter her home. Her door is open between 10 am and 6 pm. Winter is the only season where the cottage is unlocked even at zero hearts, making it a great time to quickly build your friendship.

Leah’s Seasonal Schedule in Stardew Valley

Leah’s routine is easy to follow once you learn her habits. Most days start with her sculpting at home until around noon. After that she heads outdoors, usually near the woods or rivers for inspiration. When evening comes around, she often relaxes at the Stardrop Saloon. She may also visit the Ginger Island Resort after it is unlocked, but never on festival days or on her yearly clinic visit on Spring 16.

Spring Season

She spends mornings sculpting and usually wanders near the river in the afternoons. Mondays take her to Pierre’s, and rainy nights send her to the saloon.

Summer Season

If the beach bridge is fixed, she draws near the tide pools. If not, she works on the main beach. Mondays are still for Pierre’s and weekends often end with a trip to the saloon.

Fall Season

She can often be found near the river next to Clint’s shop. Rainy days and weekends follow her usual pattern of painting at home and then relaxing in the saloon.

Winter Season

She rarely leaves the cottage except for her Monday visit to Pierre’s. Winter is a quiet season for Leah but also the easiest time for you to visit her freely.
