“Being wealthy and popular throughout high school has made Haley a little conceited and self-centered. She has a tendency to judge people for superficial reasons. But is it too late for her to discover a deeper meaning to life? Is there a fun, open-minded young woman hidden within that candy-coated shell?”
Haley lives with her sister Emily, and together they care for their parents home, who have been traveling the world for the past two years. Haley is friends with Alex.

Trivia
Haley's personality drastically changes the more hearts you have with her. She starts off saying that she "hates this small town" and talks endlessly about malls and shopping. At seven to ten hearts, she talks about donating her clothes to charity and saying she's glad the town is small, because if it was any bigger it wouldn't be a community.
Even though Haley's ten heart scene is all about her dark room, a new dark room is not included in her added room after marriage.
In the "pink cake" episode of "Queen of Sauce", The Queen says that "A girl named Haley from Stardew valley writes "I tried your pink cake in Zuzu city, and it was delicious! Can you feature it on your show?""
