Tamala
Palia's self-appointed style icon. Tamala runs the clothing shop and has very strong, very vocal opinions about fashion. Beneath the sharp exterior is someone who genuinely cares about how the village presents itself and takes real pride in helping residents look their best. Unlocking friendship gives access to exclusive outfit options and rare dye colours unavailable elsewhere.
📍 Location & Schedule
Tamala is reliably found in the Clothing Shop during the day — she's behind the counter most hours. In the evenings she takes fashion walks through the town square, providing commentary on everyone's outfits whether asked or not.
Daily schedule: Clothing shop all day — town square fashion walks evenings
🎁 Gift Preferences
Give each villager 2 gifts per week for the best friendship XP. Always prioritise loved gifts for +30 XP each. On Tamala's birthday (Summer 24) gifts give triple XP — plan ahead.

🎯 Weekly Wants
Tamala's weekly wants rotate each in-game week. Fulfilling a weekly want gives bonus friendship XP on top of the standard gift reward. Check the gift menu in-game to see the current weekly want highlighted.
- 🎯 Fine Fabric
- 🎯 Gemstone
- 🎯 Pressed Flower
Gifting tip: Gemstones (especially Sapphire) are Tamala's most reliable loved gift and also used by Zeki. If you're mining regularly in Bahari Bay, keep a dedicated gemstone stack for both merchants.
