Gifting and Befriending Gunther and Marlon! (Contains Some 1.4 and 1.5 Spoilers)

I've always thought that it would be really nice if we were able to gift and befriend Gunther and Marlon. The case with Gunther is especially odd to me. Marlon attends festivals, but Gunther does not. I'd love to see him get out once in a while! If Gunther and Marlon were to become giftable, it'd be nice to see both of them having a life outside of the museum and Adventurer's Guild. Maybe Gunther could go to the saloon after the museum closes, and Marlon could hang out by the lake before the Adventurer's Guild opens? And of course they'd need their own birthdays, too. I think Fall 9 works for Gunther (since nobody has a birthday on a 9th), and Spring 16 works for Marlon (since nobody has a birthday on a 16th).

There are other unbefriendable characters that I don't bring up because it would probably be difficult to make them befriendable. Gil, the Island Trader, and Hat Mouse's sprites, for one, seem fixed to their locations, and the Volcano Dwarf and Gourmand frog have no portraits. Morris would probably also be difficult to make befriendable because, while his sprite does have a walking animation, he's tied to the storyline, and essentially disappears from the game if the player restores the community center. The only other NPCs that could potentially be maybes in this regard are Professor Snail, Birdie, and Mr. Qi, I think. As for their birthdays, maybe Professor Snail on Summer 6 (no birthdays on a 6th), Birdie on Spring 28 (no birthdays on a 28th), and Mr. Qi on a really unique day, maybe Winter 28? Speaking of unique, I can only imagine that Mr. Qi has particularly unique gift tastes. With all the characters I've brought up as possibilities, I also think it'd be really fun to be able to bring them to the movie theater with you.

I've been thinking about a mod with an additional NPC working at the museum, which would enable Gunther to be more easily a giftable character. I never even considered most of the others!

Birdie only has one quest and seems to not do much so far, and Qi would be so fun to make friends with!
