Overview
Gust and Ginger are crossover characters from Pathea Games' My Time at Portia. They are available from the start of the game and can be found at Starsand Station when the player first arrives on the island. Both are permanent residents of Starsand Island and can be interacted with daily, given gifts, and befriended through the relationship system.
They are part of a collaboration between Seed Sparkle Lab and Pathea Games. A second pair of crossover characters, Fang and Nia from My Time at Sandrock, arrive later in the game on the first day of Autumn.
Gust
In My Time at Portia, Gust is a talented architect and the son of the town mayor. He is known for his aloof personality, sharp tongue, and hidden romantic side. On Starsand Island, he lives across the street from Bloom Atelier (Serena's beauty salon), in the northeastern part of town.

Gust retains his reserved personality from Portia. He can be found sketching in town, visiting shops, or walking near the waterfront during the day.
Ginger
Ginger is Gust's sister. In My Time at Portia, she suffers from a chronic illness and is one of the most beloved characters. On Starsand Island, she appears in good health and lives at Unit 308, located due south of the town square.
Ginger is gentle, kind, and quietly curious about island life. She can often be found near gardens or the town plaza during the day.
Romance status
Gust and Ginger are not romanceable. Their affection cap is 4 hearts, compared to 5 hearts for the 15 romanceable characters. You can still give them daily gifts and build friendship, but the relationship does not progress beyond close friendship.

Crossover bundle
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 the Pathea and Seed Sparkle Lab titles.

Fang and Nia from My Time at Sandrock arrive on the first day of Autumn, after the train line to Starsand Station has been repaired. Unlike Gust and Ginger, they must be found proactively at the station, they do not appear in a cutscene.
