Fang and Nia
March 6, 2026 at 07:26 AM
Fix accuracy: Fang is a doctor (not Civil Corps fighter), Nia is a botany student (not museum curator), Gust and Ginger arrive Summer 23rd not from the start
Fang and Nia are crossover characters from Pathea Games' My Time at Sandrock. They arrive on Starsand Island on the first day of Autumn, after the train line to Starsand Station has been repaired. Unlike Gust and Ginger, who arrive on Summer 23rd, Fang and Nia must be found proactively. They do not appear in a cutscene when they arrive.
Both characters originate from the desert town of Sandrock. In My Time at Sandrock, Fang is the local doctor and Nia is a botany student at the Highwind Botany Institute. Their appearance on Starsand Island is part of the collaboration between Seed Sparkle Lab and Pathea Games, the same partnership that brought Gust and Ginger to the island.
On the first day of Autumn (Fall 1), head to Starsand Station. Fang and Nia arrive by train but will not seek you out. You need to go to the station yourself and talk to them. If you miss them on the first day, they will still be on the island. Check the station area or wander around town.
The train line only becomes operational after you complete the main quest to repair Starsand Station. If you have not reached that point by Autumn, the crossover characters will arrive once the station is open.
Fang is the local doctor in Sandrock who runs the Fang & X Clinic. He practices naturopathic medicine and is often accompanied by his pet raven, X. In Sandrock, he is known for his quiet demeanor, medical expertise, and dry sense of humor. On Starsand Island, he retains his reserved personality but seems curious about the island's natural remedies and local flora.
Players who romanced Fang in My Time at Sandrock will recognize his quiet, caring nature. He can be found around town after his arrival, often near gardens or the waterfront.
Nia is a botany student at the Highwind Botany Institute in Sandrock, studying under Professor Luo. She is cheerful, inquisitive, and fascinated by plant life. On Starsand Island, she takes an interest in the island's unique flora and ecosystem and can often be found near gardens, the beach, or exploring the town.
Her personality contrasts with Fang's; where he is reserved and direct, Nia is warm and talkative. Together they represent the medical and botanical expertise of Sandrock.
Fang and Nia function as regular NPCs on the island. You can talk to them daily, give them gifts, and build affection. They are not romanceable unlike Gust and Ginger, they are visitors rather than permanent residents. Their gift preferences reflect their Sandrock backgrounds.
Starsand Island is available as part of the "My Time at Starsand Island" bundle on Steam, which includes My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock, and Starsand Island at a combined discount. The bundle highlights the shared universe between Pathea Games and Seed Sparkle Lab's titles.
