Granny Cotton | Fantasy Life (3DS)

Granny Cotton*yaaaawn* Oh, you'll have to excuse old Granny Cotton. Counting sheep puts me to sleep.

Granny CottonLook out for Pete, won't you? I'd like it if you two were friends. You're a good influence on him. I don't want my Pete turning out like...him. Who's him, you say? Never you mind.

Granny CottonNo, I can't have my Pete turning out like...him. Oh, don't mind me. As for who "him" might be, don't you worry your head—just a man from Granny Cotton's past.

Granny CottonPete's a little too much like...him, no matter what Pete tells his Granny Cotton. He says he's got to be a Hunter to be popular with the girls...but what girl would marry a Hunter? Anyone who wants a family should settle down, take care of sheep—not vanish into the woods!

Granny CottonSo you're an Apprentice now, are you? You've made Granny Cotton proud. Take this. It's something I made using Wool from my sheep—and some Animal Hide that Fern gave me. You know, I'm also a Tailor, so making this sort of thing is a cinch.

Granny CottonYou might want to consider taking another Life as a Tailor, like old Granny Cotton did. Then you could use the materials you find as a Hunter and make your own clothing and shoes.

Granny CottonThe longer I watch Pete grow up, the more it's clear he gets his personality from...him. Pete's good at heart, but he sometimes gets so carried away—he gets carried right off! And he wants to be a renowned Hunter, just like... him. Hmm. I guess I could tell you who "him" was. I'm speaking of my husband...Pete's grandfather. Oh, that man knew how to use a bow! And he got carried away with hunting, carried off to Al Maajik—where he had a hunting buddy. I wonder if his friend is still with us, all the way off in Al Maajik? Look him up if you go there. He taught my husband a thing or two about hunting. I'm sure he'd have something to teach you too.

Granny CottonI do wonder if my husband's old hunting buddy is still living in Al Maajik... He was always interested in strange, powerful birds. Try to find him if you'd like to hear of such things.

Granny CottonHave you heard of the Blizzard Bird that roams Tortuga Archipelago? My husband always dreamed of hunting down that strange, fearsome bird. Pete's been talking about it a lot recently too. I wish he would stay away from such dangerous hunts.

Granny CottonI don't want to stop Pete from being a great Hunter. It's his dream, but this Life can be so hard.

Granny CottonSo you became a Master, did you? Nicely done, child. I'm sure Fern must be proud of you. Now if you're thinking of hunting any ferocious birds, Granny Cotton has some advice for you. You'll want the best bow possible, of course, and you might be tempted to try to buy one. But why not go as far as you can in the Carpenter Life...and make your own? That might seem a long way for a Hunter to get a bow, but you'll learn more about yourself doing so. Yes, the doing is the true reward. I must admit I learned that bit of wisdom from my husband.

Granny CottonA Hunter really should take up at least one other Life, if not many of them. Just think...a Hunter who can make bows as a Carpenter is so self-sufficient!

Granny CottonSo you're a Hero now, are you? Everyone will be talking about that, I'm sure. I think you're having a good effect on my Pete, [Player]. He's been working harder lately. I might even trust him to look after my sheep here someday. But I doubt that's what he wants.

Granny CottonI've heard that Pete's been begging Fern to take him more seriously. I have to admit... I think you've had a very good influence on him.

Granny CottonMy child, how exciting! You've reached the Legend rank? Already? Granny Cotton is thrilled! I knew you would excel at the Hunter Life from the moment I first saw you use your bow. And Fern has agreed to help Pete more with his hunting, now that he's taking it more seriously. It's nice when Granny Cotton's plans all work out in the end.

Granny CottonPlease keep looking out for my Pete—and Fern too. We Hunters need to take care of our own. Why, just look at the good influence you've had on a lazy sheepherder and a solitary teacher! I think I'd even say you're all good friends now.

Granny CottonYou'll make old Granny Cotton happy if you look out for Pete and Fern. Be good friends to each other.

Granny CottonAre you aiming even higher than the Legend rank, child? You'll achieve it for sure. But if you'll listen to old Granny Cotton for a bit, I'll spin you a bit of homey wisdom. Push your limits, but don't cross them too soon. Many a Hunter has fallen prey to overconfidence. But I suppose what would also help you go far is a little gift from Granny Cotton.

Granny CottonI hope Pete doesn't push himself past his limits one day. He often bites off more than he can chew.

Granny CottonMy, my, my...you've made Creator rank? What a remarkable Hunter you've turned out to be! And my Pete, well, I'm sure he'll be as proud of your accomplishment as if it was his own! Congratulations, child.

Granny CottonFern's told me that Pete has been doing nicely of late. He's learning to be a real Hunter. You know, deep down...in his heart. Fern says he's learned lots about the Hunter's Life by watching you.
