Demetrius is a scientist who studies the valley's local wildlife. He can often be found working in his laboratory or outdoors taking notes.
Schedule
Routines for each season are ranked by priority with the highest priority at the top. For example, if it's Raining on Friday, he follows the Rainy schedule instead of the Friday schedule.
His "Rainy" and "Friday" routines are the same in every season, but his "Normal Routine" changes every season.
On Summer 25 he has an appointment at the clinic.

Relationships
Demetrius is married to Robin and lives with his daughter Maru and step-son Sebastian. Maru is his daughter with Robin, and Sebastian is Robin's son from an earlier relationship. It is assumed that Demetrius is Robin's second husband, because there are 2 books in the bookcase of their room titled "Maximizing Your Second Marriage" and "Practical Tips For First-Time Step-Dads." Demetrius is very protective of Maru, as shown in her two heart event.

You see Demetrius and Robin arguing. She asked him to get fruit, so he got tomatoes. She exclaims that tomatoes aren't what he should have thought of because they're not "real" fruit. He defends himself by saying that tomatoes are indeed a fruit and his mistake was reasonable. He asks you to choose whether tomatoes are fruits or vegetables. Your response will affect his friendship with you.
Vegetable (-30 friendship.) Fruit (+50 friendship.)
