Starsand Island Romanceable Characters
Who can you romance? The short answer is a dispute: recent official coverage says 14, older Early Access rosters say 15. Here is every candidate we can source, plus what changed between EA and 1.0 as far as anyone can tell.
The count dispute
Candidates with real evidence
| Candidate | Reported role | Source tier |
|---|---|---|
| Aurelis | The charming chef | community (1.0 video guide) |
| Delphin | The charismatic ocean lover | community (1.0 video guide) |
| Neona | Romance candidate | community (search signal) |
| Fang | Gift-guide favorite | community (search signal) |
These four are the candidates we can name with a real source trail. The remaining 10–11 slots on either roster are still being matched to names across conflicting lists — we will expand this table as each entry gets verified.
How the roster changed EA → 1.0
The 1.0 announcement emphasised deeper emotional bonds with NPCs and a new 3-Heart Relationship system, but no official post has published a final character-by-character romance list. Until one does, the difference between 14 and 15 is best treated as unresolved.
