Yeah, that's why I was confused. Because I didn't see the connection with "immature" as a descriptor, and reading back through Sam's write-up I still don't? I'm not trying to criticize here at all, I just actually didn't follow the thought process.

I associate her with the kind of person who graduated with an art degree and then has no idea how to actually make use of it in the real world. she's not exactly the same, but mostly because the world of Stardew Valley is different from our world so there's no exact equivalent. I tend to think of those people are immature.

we know she had some kind of job, but she quit it. and now she does... nothing? like most of the marriage candidates in stardew valley she has no real job or life prospects, and is content to leech off the main character after marrying you. or if you don't marry her she maybe sells art online or does nothing. I'll admit if you go the online seller route, this is a positive development in her arc, but... why did she need someone else to explain this to her, and to motivate her to do it? an adult could have figured that out on their own long before they met the farmer.

the fact that leah is older than some of the others just highlights these issues even more. like we know abigail is still in school based on her mother's dialogue. what is leah's excuse for not having a real job? I guess maybe it's because she just got out of a bad long term relationship and is recovering from that. but I also tend to think of people getting out of their first bad relationship as still being pretty early in the stages of romantic development as well. literally in the most favorable interpretation she is someone who is still learning what works and doesn't work in a relationship, just ended her first bad long term one, still has no job, and can't even figure out how to get one without advice from you. I'm not sure I can agree if you're going to tell me you think that is a mature character I just described.

plus this quality isn't really tangible but I've always thought she was around the same age as all of the others, because she acts the same as most of the others. so if you later find out that she's actually older, this means she is acting younger than her actual age... which is like the textbook definition of immature.

If Leah gets knocked back for flirting with married people how does Caroline rank so high

I guess a combination of multiple factors could explain it.

1. I did not rank Leah based solely on one quality. As you can see, the write up I did was pretty long. I didn't just look at one thing she did and decide her ranking solely based on that. Nor did I do the same with Caroline. Look how far apart Clint and Leah ranked despite the fact that I directly compared the two and that should make your question seem pretty pointless in hindsight.
2. I'm also not omniscient. I literally have no idea what vague piece of dialogue or lore you might be referring to. Can you explain what you're talking about first? Obviously information can't inform my opinion of Caroline if I'm not aware of it.
