The people of Coral Island rely on the Sanchez Brothers Blacksmith for all their forging needs. While both brothers are potential romance options, Rafael tends to be the more reserved of the two. As the younger brother, he's soft-spoken, but he has a big heart. He'll be closed off at first, but spending time with him will help him open up and come out of his shell.

Rafael is one of the blacksmiths in Starlet town. He and his older brother, Pablo, run Sanchez Borthers Blacksmith, where they also live in the upstairs space. He's rather quiet when you first meet him, but once you spend more time with him, he'll become more social with you.
He has a soft spot for his niece, Valentina, and can often be found working in his shop. When he leaves, he goes north towards the school on his break to grab lunch from Emma's Taco Truck. You'll find his shop towards the north part of town, just below the school to the west of the Lake.
