Recorded that Leif is now referred to as a covenmate, that he was said to appear in the first Oracle issue, and that eleven romanceable characters are confirmed
Leif Blomgren is a confirmed romanceable character in Witchbrook. He was introduced on 20 August 2026 as the game's newest romance option, presented as Mossport's favourite greenthumb and associated throughout his reveal with plants, herbs and gardening. He is the fifth romance candidate the developers have named ahead of launch, joining Hana Sato, Eli Ivers, Cormac Fitzroy and Pip Marin.

Leif's reveal took the form of a short video published simultaneously on the studio's own social feed and its video channel, accompanied by a character card giving his name and a brief description. The card frames him as the person to go to for anything horticultural, describes his smile as being as vibrant as marigolds, and says he believes any problem can be solved with the right herb and a pinch of magic. The wording is playful rather than mechanical, so it establishes his character and his association with plants without describing a single system.
That distinction matters for anyone reading this page ahead of launch. What has been confirmed is that Leif exists, that he is romanceable, that he is strongly associated with gardening and herbs, and, since the September 2026 dating dev blog, that the developers count him among the player's covenmates. The same blog introduced him as the latest of Mossport's most eligible bachelors, with a heart of gold, the kind of person who brings the sunshine when it rains. Where he works, whether he is enrolled at the college, and how his romance arc plays out have not been described publicly. The romance system page covers the mechanics that apply to every romance candidate, from asking someone out with a card to going steady.

The character card released with the reveal shows Leif in an illustrated portrait style rather than as an in-game sprite. He is a young man with auburn hair and green eyes, standing with his arms folded and a slight, warm smile. He wears a cream collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a heavy brown leather work apron with buckled shoulder straps and deep front pockets, grey trousers, and a dark cape draped over one shoulder. Sprigs of green foliage are tucked into the apron pockets, which is the clearest visual signal of the herb association the accompanying text describes.
The background of the card is a green lawn beside a pale stone building with an arched colonnade, dressed with potted plants, stone planters, a barrel of hydrangeas, a bird table, a spade left standing in the grass and a bench where two other characters are sitting. The location is not named in the reveal, so it should not be read as identifying any particular part of Mossport or the college grounds.
Leif is the second character named Blomgren to appear in official Witchbrook material. The first is Fenkel Blomgren, an ambitious young gardener who appears in the debut issue of The Witchbrook Oracle, where he wins the Annual Pumpkin Growing Competition and works part-time at the town's gardening shop, Wild Flower.
The September 2026 dating dev blog adds a wrinkle: it says keen-eyed community members will have spotted Leif in the first-ever issue of the Oracle. That issue's gardening story centres on Fenkel Blomgren, who is described there as a Witchbrook student. The developers have not said in so many words whether Fenkel is an earlier name for the same character, a relative, or someone else Leif appears alongside, so this page records the overlap and leaves the question open.
Pre-launch character reveals for this game have historically been short on mechanical detail, and Leif's is no exception. The following are all open questions rather than omissions from this page:
Open question | Current status |
|---|---|
Does he work at a named shop? | Unstated. His gardening association does not by itself attach him to any specific business |
Is he a student at the college? | Not stated directly. The first Oracle issue describes Fenkel Blomgren as a student; see The Blomgren Name above |
Does he teach or assist with a school of magic? | Unstated. Herbs feed potions, teas and salves in Alchemy, but no teaching or class role has been described for him |
How does his romance arc progress? | Unstated beyond the general romance system |
Are further candidates coming? | Yes. The developers have confirmed eleven romanceable characters, six of them named as of October 2026, including Evadne Gladwin, revealed in September |
