Pellier is an entrepreneur living in Aviar Cove. He runs a shop called Portlight Illuminations together with his friend and business partner Lief, who invented the lightbulb.
Background
Pellier grew up hearing a legend about how his and Lief's family became friends.
This old bedtime story is about how Lief's family and mine became close. It starts a very long time ago, when a terrible storm flooded Aviar Cove… Back then, Lief's ancestors had wings big enough to fly to shelter. From my family, though, only one young boy escaped. He begged and pleaded for them to save his kin, but each one looked at the howling winds outside and each one refused. My ancestor cried until his voice grew hoarse, but just as he began to lose hope a kind traveler sat down by his side and added her voice to his pleas. The birds couldn't help but ask. The traveler had not been to Aviar Cove before. Why did she care so much about a stranger's woes?
The traveler thought about it for a little while and said, "When I saw this child crying, I chose not to look away. I may not know his family, but I too have sorrowed. Understanding his pain, I felt it as my own." Though they tried to harden their hearts, the birds could not help but look at the child again. Seeing his fear and his worry, they imagined how they would have felt if it had been their family caught in the flood. One by one, they understood, and together they flew into the storm. It was a long night, but my ancestor and the traveler had each other, and the traveler's friend with the honourable face held the door shut against the wind. When morning came, my ancestor's family had all been rescued. Out of gratitude and empathy, the two families swore to always understand each other, and we've been close ever since.

Dear World-hopper, I hope this missive finds you well. We are all doing fine here in Aviar Cove. It’s been raining, which makes it dangerous to go down to the shore, but I do love listening to the sound of rain falling against my roof. I’ve mostly stayed at the shop all day, anyway, with a quick jaunt to the bakery to buy my usual tuna sandwich. Do you like the rain? Sometimes I open my windows just to breathe in the fresh, clean smell of it. If I’m outdoors, though… Well, let’s just say there’s a reason I always have an umbrella. It takes forever to dry out my fur. Anyway, if you’re in Aviar Cove right now, you’re welcome to come hide in the shop until the sun comes out again. Sincerely, P.S. This is Lief and I’m here to say that Pellier wrote this letter because HE LOVES HIS FRIENDS! I do not. I mean, not that I don't! It’s just… Oh, never mind. | |

Dear World-hopper, Is life treating you well? I hope you’re finding fair weather and kind folk in your travels. Do you like Aviar Cove? That’s a roundabout way of me asking if you’d like to come visit us some time. There’s no hurry of course, I’ll make sure to have some refreshments ready every day just in case you turn up. Looking forward to seeing you again! Cordially yours, | |

Dear World-hopper, I hope you’re not out at sea today. It’s very windy, and that means everyone from a sailing or fishing family has been worried all morning. I know the possibility of something happening is low (in fact, you’re probably nowhere near the ocean at all) but I can’t help but worry. Traveling like you do must be dangerous, right? All my books about adventurers include narrow escapes from brigands or beasts. I like to think that your life as a traveler is much nicer, more like a lovely vacation than a hair-raising tale. It’s a superstition in Aviar Cove that if you find a seagull feather, you can make a wish on it by letting it float out into the sea. I haven’t really believed in it since childhood, but I made a wish today anyway, hoping to keep you safe. Yours sincerely, | |

Dear World-hopper, I’ve never been as excited to write letters to somebody as I am now, with you. Letters have always been sort of a chore for me, the kind of thing respectable people are obligated to do but nobody really enjoys, but now I find myself looking forward to telling you all the things I think about when you aren’t here. Perhaps it’s because I’ve never had to write a letter to someone I cared about before. Lief and I have always been together, and other children… I know how to be polite, but I’ve never understood how easy it seemed for other people to grow closer to each other. Lief and I were born best friends. We never learned the trick of getting to know anyone else. Until you, of course. Spending time with you, talking to you, learning more about each other… it felt like the easiest thing in the world. The distance between us disappeared as if by magic, and I’m so very glad it did. Yours truly, | |

Dear World-hopper, I found this strange red gem in my office yesterday, which is doubly odd because it's usually quite neat with everything accounted for. Someone must have placed it there without my even noticing. After determining that it wasn't poisonous, otherwise dangerous, or a prank from Lief I decided to make it a gift to you. I wanted this letter to tell you how much you mean to me, but now that I'm trying to write it words seem entirely inadequate. I can't seem to find the right metaphor no matter how much time I spend thinking or just how many drafts I've gone through. I suppose I could promise to always split the last chocolate with you, like Lief and I vowed when we were children. Somehow, that doesn't seem like enough. I can't give you the moon, the stars or the world, though in my opinion you deserve all three and more. I can however send you this stone, something strange and beautiful that arrived mysteriously at my side. I hope it gives you as much joy as you have given me. Yours in friendship, |
| Player Birthday (300 Affection) |
Dear World-hopper, I hear it’s your birthday! Congratulations on another year, and I hope you had an enjoyable day. Birthdays have always been a time of reflection for me. Taking stock of all I’ve accomplished throughout the year, and making plans for the next one. I’d recommend it, if you’re in a mood for self-reflection. Life can be so hectic that it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day, but if you take a moment to think about the long term everything falls into perspective. What do you want for your future? What paths will you have to take to get there? Those are difficult questions, and I hope that this year you’ll be able to find the answers. Best regards, |

Dear World-hopper, I hope nothing has been ailing you of late. Why I ask this? I’ve simply noticed that your demeanor towards me has been somewhat contrarian, perhaps it isimply who you are? If not, have I don’t something to offend you? I don’t mean to pry, but this imbalance is somewhat upsetting me, perhaps we could come to an amiable resolution. Only if you have the time or inclination, of course. Best regards, | |
| -900 Affection |
Hello World-hopper, Since my last letter to you, some time has passed. However, as you may know, the situation has only worsened. I am at a loss as to how to express my disappointment in a cordial manner without causing you too much consternation. I wonder if it would be best if you stopped coming around so often. There, I said it! Please don’t take this the wrong was, it’s just whenever you profess to help, things go hopelessly awry, and have been for a time now. Sincerely, | |
| -1,500 Affection |
Dear World-hopper, I will get straight to the point. Though I endured for the sake of our initial companionship-and I still remain grateful for your help in advertising the light bulb-you have long since weathered my patience. Please, find someone else to bother. Better yet, bother no one at all! However, after being needled and nettled by you for so long, it can only be concluded that you know no other way to behave. It greatly sorrows me to have had our burgeoning friendship turn sour, but I cannot suffer you any longer. Regards, |
Chit Chat
Chit-chatting with a NPC will give you a maximum of +1 
per day. They will repeat the same sentences over and over, but it’s a nice way of getting to know a bit more about Dappervolk and its inhabitants.
Low Affection
- "Sometimes I think that Lief only invented lightbulbs so she could stay up late all the time."
- "I’ve been collecting nice stationery since childhood, and now that we run our own business I finally have a reason to use all those pretty notebooks."
- "Oh sorry, I was so absorbed in this paperwork that I didn’t notice you were there!"
- "It took us a while to save up enough for our own space. We were running our business out of Lief’s mother’s attic before."
High Affection
- "World-hopper! I was planning to do paperwork, but it can wait. You’re the highest-priority thing on my schedule."
- "Make sure you get enough sleep and drink a lot of water! I’d hate it if you got sick."
