White		<Player>, are you interested in smithing? There's so much to it and it's fun, so if you're ever interested, please stop by the workshop.
Purple		I love to play musical instruments. It's a nice change from training, and I often play the koto or shamisen.
Blue		I'm still in training, so I still make lots of mistakes. I can't create anything I'm satisfied with.
Blue		But I'm going to open my own workshop someday. When I do, please be my customer.
Green		I come from a family of blacksmiths. My grandfather, my parents, my three brothers...they're all blacksmiths.
Yellow		Train every day. That is my motto and I believe that perseverance will always pay off.
Orange		My family is strict about manners and etiquette. We practiced martial arts and the performing arts daily. It was so hard. I was often scolded as a child.
Orange		But the perseverance and understanding I gained serve me well now. Today, I'm grateful I went through it.
Red		When I chose this town for my training, I was worried whether I'd make it or not. But now, I'm glad I did. You are my precious support, <Player>. If you stay by me hereafter, you will be my tower of strength.

While Dating (Iroha):

White		<Player>... I have gone beyond anger to sheer exasperation.
White		Why, you ask? Unless you figure it out yourself, it is meaningless.
Purple		Just what am I to you anyway? I'm getting more and more confused.
Blue		You think that our love isn't mutual, <Player>? I think you're still dreaming.
Green		It seems the people of this town are watching over us. It's a bit embarrassing, but it means they've acknowledged our relationship. I'm very happy.
Yellow		Since we began dating, <Player>, I've been able to curb my obstinacy.
Yellow		They say that lovers start to pick up each other's behaviors. I'm sure it's happening to me.
Orange		<Player>, you're near my age, but you have a spectaular lively farm. I think it's admirable.
Orange		I'm going to devote myself too, so I hope we can do our best and support each other.
Red		Since I met you, <Player>, I've learned how precious it is to have someone who supports you.
Red		I'm so happy I fell in love with you, <Player>, and that you are my one and only.

While Married (To Iroha):

White		What are you saying I should do? Please, just leave me alone.
Purple		Lately, I just don't know what's on your mind, <Player>.
Purple		Was I the only one believing that we were in love? I just don't understand anymore.
Blue		Lately, I've been feeling anxious for no good reason. I feel as though you are going far away, <Player>.
Green		When I lived alone, I would get up around dawn, but lately, I've been waking up later.
Green		You look so comfortable when you're asleep, <Player>, that I don't feel like getting up.
Yellow		We may have married, but I haven't given up my dream to have a workshop. I will continue to train.
Orange		When I'm with you, <Player>, I always feel like breaking out into a smile. Every day is so peaceful.
Red		I'm a lucky woman to have found such a wonderful husband who has shown me the joy of love.
Red		Thank you, <Player>, for making me your wife and letting me stay by you.

Iroha is musically inclined. She plays the koto, a stringed musical instrument^[1] and the shamisen^[2], a three-stringed musical instrument. Both instruments originate from Japan.
Iroha comes from a line of blacksmiths.
Iroha practiced both martial arts and performing arts as a child, due to her family being strict regarding manners and etiquette. She was often scolded as a child for making errors.
Iroha's outfit appears as a clothing item in Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns. When the outfit is worn by the player, Kasumi will comment that it resembles the clothing of a blacksmith her family used to employ. This may imply Iroha or one of her family members have worked for Kasumi's family at one point.
