Fields of Mistria: comparing all 12 marriage candidates
A wiki lists people. It does not rank them, and it will not tell you which differences actually matter. This page puts all twelve in one table — and is honest about which columns we have verified.
| Total candidates | 12 — 6 bachelorettes, 6 bachelors |
|---|---|
| Gender-locked? | No — the official FAQ confirms you can marry any eligible villager regardless of gender |
| Only candidate with a story gate | Caldarus |
| Only candidate who differs on furniture | Juniper — 4 pieces instead of 3 |
| Can you switch later? | No — version 1.0 has no divorce mechanic |
All 12 side by side
| Candidate | Listed as | Extra requirement | Furniture mailed after wedding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Celine | Bachelorette | — | 3 |
| Juniper | Bachelorette | — | 4 — the only one who sends four |
| Reina | Bachelorette | — | 3 |
| Valen | Bachelorette | — | 3 |
| Adeline | Bachelorette | — | 3 |
| Seridia | Bachelorette | — | 3 |
| Balor | Bachelor | — | 3 |
| March | Bachelor | — | 3 |
| Hayden | Bachelor | — | 3 |
| Ryis | Bachelor | — | 3 |
| Eiland | Bachelor | — | 3 |
| Caldarus | Bachelor | Story quest “Breaking The Final Seal” must be complete | 3 |
Every value in this table comes from the official wiki's Marriage page. Where a cell says “—”, it means the wiki documents no special requirement, not that we did not look.
The two differences that are actually mechanical
Caldarus is gated behind the story
You cannot marry Caldarus until the story quest "Breaking The Final Seal" is complete. Every other candidate is available on the normal 10-hearts path. If you are early in the game and set on Caldarus, that quest is your real prerequisite.
Juniper sends four pieces of furniture
After the wedding, each spouse mails you pieces of their own furniture. The standard is 3 pieces. Juniper is explicitly noted as the exception at 4. It is a small thing, but it is one of the very few numbers that genuinely differs between spouses.
What everyone else calls a difference, and we do not
Other "best spouse" pages rank candidates by loved gifts, heart-event quality, or their post-marriage schedule. Those are real considerations — but we have not verified per-character gift tables against the official wiki yet, and gift data is exactly where competing Mistria sites were measured wrong.
So this page ranks nothing it cannot source. Per-character pages with verified gift lists are being added one at a time; when they exist, this table gains a column.
The one decision that is permanent
Worth knowing before you commit: version 1.0 has no divorce mechanic, and the official wiki notes it is not known whether one is planned. Your choice of spouse is, for now, final within a save.
If you have not started dating yet, the marriage guide covers the full path, including the floor-100 Mines requirement that blocks the Engagement Ring.
