Jamie... is actually either a boy or a girl, depending on which gender your character is. In the English version , your character can actually marry Jamie, though I believe your game ends. Jamie will be quite the rival for you - even though he doesn't acctually hurt your chances at getting notes, he will always try and get a higher farming record than you.

He might act mean, but don't be mislead - sometimes he is trying to be nice. It sounds weird, but he/she is a complicated character.
