Shane (Stardew Valley)

Shane is a villager in Pelican Town who is often rude and unhappy and suffers from depression and alcohol dependence. However, his attitude starts to change towards any player who chooses to befriend him. He works at JojaMart most days between 9 am and 5 pm and after work, he frequently spends his evenings in The Stardrop Saloon. He doesn't work on the weekend except on rainy days and is frequently around the ranch.

In the Social Status menu, Shane's outfit will change to a Joja Corporation uniform when he is at his job at JojaMart. He's one of the twelve characters available to marry.

Schedule
If it is raining, Shane will go to work at JojaMart on Saturdays or Sundays, if the Community Center is not complete. He will also go to work at JojaMart until the day after completing the Community Center. Otherwise, he is usually found at The Stardrop Saloon in the evenings. {| !Spring Monday - Friday (Community Center Not Restored) Raining (Community Center Not Restored)
