Seedfolks Favorite Character

My favorite character so far is Kim. She is the first character I met and I think she is amazing. Kim is definitely a trend setter. Everybody so far copies her and plants seeds in the vacant lot even though everybody does a different part. She is very nice and tries to prove something to her father that passed away by planting seeds in the garden since he was a farmer. She is a very brave girl and I applaud her for that. She is a lot like me by trying to start something. I always try to start something good when I can get the opportunity.
