Personality

Strengths: Some would consider Andrew's ability to not see anything clearly as a gift. He's never really gone through any heart break or disappointment. Life is just a game to him. Which is what sparked the pranks.
Weaknesses: Of any quality to describe a person, Annoying, is perfect for And. He doesn't know when to stop with the pranks, and who to pull them on, and who to leave alone. He's made that mistake quite a few times.
Traits: Though Andrew might seem very annoying to the common eye, which he is, he is also kind hearted. He doesn't mean any harm by his fun, its just... fun. Life is a game. Andrew is never worried about the consequences of his actions, and does whatever he pleases. This gets him into a good bit of trouble, but never anything he can't weasel his way out of. He's got quite a persuasive tongue.

Andrew is rather famous for break dancing. He has some serious skill for a white guy. Which of course provides great entertainment, anywhere. Whenever music is playing, he can't help but to bust a move. This usually is frowned upon by the professors, and some of the snobbier girls, but he loves it. The reactions as well.

Above all the pranks, And has a love of Quidditch. He enjoys the sport more than anything he's ever experienced. Like flying your problems away. Though it is often seen as an unhealthy obsession, it's much healthier than say, eating a pint of ice cream every time your heart gets broken, or you get a bad grade on a paper. Despite the fact that you are sitting on a broom, Quidditch, and flying in general, exercises many different parts of the body, just from holding on to the broom, let alone aiming, doing any kind of tricks, chasing after a ball, hitting the ball with a bat, and cheering when your team scores.

Behind Andrews jokes and fun, he's actually a very sweet guy. He can be classified as a hopeless romantic. And will do anything for his girl, once he finds the right one. As of now, Tessa holds the key to his heart, but there are still some things he holds higher than her. After finding the girl of his dreams however, he will turn into the prince charming every girl is looking for, and sacrifice his everything for her without a second thought. This can be both a strength and a weakness.

Unlike most people you see dressed as Andrew is, he does not dabble in drugs or alcohol. He thinks it's just a lame excuse for fitting in. Not to mention a common cause of death.

Andrew is also an amazing listener. Even if you aren't great friends with him, he will listen to your problems and help you find a solution, even when he has no idea what to do. Always.

He does however, dabble in obsessive-compulsive behaviors. He cannot sit still for too long, which comes to a problem in class, and doesn't like to not be doing anything. Boredom could drive him insane.

The first thing people notice about Andrew is how open he is. He has no problems expressing how he feels by any means necessary. That includes yelling, which is part of his daily life. Aside from being open and jumpy, And loves his friends. They're the most important people in the world to him. If it wasn't for them, he would be Waite so open and jumpy. He would do anything for them without hesitation, and puts them before himself. He even most of the time, puts people he doesn't even know or care for ahead of himself. That's just how he is. Always thinking of everyone else.

The other big part of And's life is his music. He isn't the same as you would think though. It's not his anti-drug, or his drug, or his savior or anything. It's just another tool for letting his emotions out. His favorite band is My Chemical Romance, but will listen to anything from Something Corporate to Ozzy Osbourne. Not rap or country though. With the exception of Fergalicious. It's one of his all time favorite dancing songs.

To be honest, Andrew is quite crazy. Almost rambunctious. He has no respect for being proper, and does as he pleases. Though he always does it to impress friends, and make them laugh. He lives for social events, where he can freak out "The norms" and crack up his friends. One of his favorite routines is dancing around like a loon to old 80's hits. Which he knows ALL the words to. He is quite good at making his friends laugh infarct. He's well known for it. This aids And when it comes to women. He's never really had any problems with latching onto the one he likes, because they always have enjoyed his company and gave in. All he really needs is something to dance to.

Andrew is crazy political. He sees most everything in a democratic and/or liberal view. He's not involved in muggle government per say, but He does have very strong opinions. He could go on for hours about abortion, and the right to bear arms, and just about everything.

Above all others, And looks up to the band Tatu. The fact that they can openly write music about their struggles as a Russian lesbian couple in America amazes him. More than anything he wishes that this world would stop being so judge mental, so more people could be open about how they feel inside.

Despite Andrews quirky fun nature, he is an aesthetic inside. Of all things, he enjoys writing most of all. When he writes, it'll be poetry, stories, plays, whatever he chooses. But he knows its the only thing that can make him feel like he's on top of the world. No crazy dance, or stupid prank could ever make him feel the way he does when eh reads over what hes just accomplished. With this in mind, And is planning on (hoping for) a career not in magic, but in writing. Perhaps even for muggles as well.

History

Andrew comes from a typical middle-class family. He grew up in Brancaster, right on the edge of the bay. From the time he was five, his father took him to Quidditch matches. And developed a love for the Falmouth Falcons in particular, hoping that one day he would be able to play with their extreme determination, skill and dedication, but that dream was a long shot, considering his attention span and grades.
