Shane
“ | “I'm renting my room from Marnie at a really good price. It's small but I can't complain. If I could reset my life maybe I'd start a chicken farm. Only free-range eggs of course.” |
— Shane |
Shane is a villager who lives in Pelican Town and is often rude and unhappy. If the player chooses to befriend him, however, his attitude toward them will start to change. He works at JojaMart most days between 9 AM and 5 PM, and after work he frequently spends his evenings in the saloon.
In the Social Status menu, Shane's outfit will change to a Joja Corporation uniform when he is at his job at Joja Mart.
The ability to marry Shane was added in version 1.1. In that update he had new updates to his schedule, dialogue and heart events as well.
Relationships
Shane lives at his aunt Marnie's ranch with his goddaughter Jas. He works at JojaMart, and Morris is his manager there.
