## Personality

Andi is a creative and artistic person. She makes art, mostly bracelets, from pretty much anything, including scarfs that Bex used to send to her. Andi sometimes comes off as awkward, especially in boy-crush situations. Andi is curious and inquisitive and always trying to learn more. Andi is comfortable in her skin and sometimes overly trustworthy and naïve, although she's not afraid to confront people including her parents for lying to her. She seems to be very intelligent as well because Bex states that Andi is so much smarter than her and Celia in Shhh! and in the season 2 episode, *I Wanna Hold Your Wristband*, Jonah says Andi is very smart.

Andi can also be very controlling at points in the show. Andi tries to force the relationship between Bex and Bowie even getting mad at Bex when she doesn’t want to get married to Bowie. She also can be self-centered and selfish, particularly when she doesn't get what she wants or when she feels people aren't paying attention to her, such as in *Buffy in a Bottle* when she gets mad at Bex for focusing on her business as opposed to Andi's boy troubles or when she assumed Buffy didn't care about her when she was having fun at the Color Factory and didn't text to see if she was okay. However, when it comes to her friends and family her heart is always in the right place.

## Physical Appearance

Andi is very tall and pretty. She has brown eyes. She has fair to tan skin depending on the time of year. She has a black pixie cut, styling it with hair clips and headbands. She has a very artsy and colorful sense of style. She often wears makeup (usually pink blush and lipgloss).

## Biography

Andi Mack was born by a teen mom, Bex, but was raised by her grandparents, Ham and Celia as their own after Bex left home. Andi was raised under the impression that Ham and Celia were her parents and that Bex was her cool older sister who traveled the world and would visit home every few years with different gifts from her adventures for Andi. Despite Bex being away so often, Andi loved her and looked up to her.

### Season 1

#### 13

On Andi's 13th birthday, Bex comes back home and told Andi and her parents that she was finally ready to settle down and get her life together. After an emotional catching up, Andi still felt like Bex doesn't get her. Bex admitted that she had made a lot of mistakes since Andi was born and showed Andi a picture of her and baby Andi in the hospital bed after birth. She revealed that she is not Andi's sister. She's her mother. This changed everything in Andi's world and now she has to adjust to accepting the fact that her sister is actually her mother. Along the way, Andi learns that sometimes the unexpected is what makes life great.

Andi was raised in a loving yet overprotective home. Now, with Bex’s encouragement, she begins to step outside her comfort zone, particularly when it comes to approaching the most intriguing guy at Jefferson Middle School — Jonah Beck, whom she quickly realizes is dating a high school girl, Amber. Andi proves that one of her greatest strengths may be how she accepts life's unpredictability with optimism. She also finds solace by tapping into her creativity in her backyard hideaway, the Andi Shack.

#### Shhh!

Since finding out the secret, things have only been harder for Andi. In addition to trying to adjust to the new status and figure out who her dad is, Andi has also been struggling through the intense tension between Bex and Celia. On one hand, Celia is too strict and overprotective and doesn't want to let go of Andi; while on the other hand, Bex is too carefree and doesn't act like a mother. This puts Andi in a tough position as she is often forced to choose which one of them to follow. It becomes evident when Bex encourages Andi to watch a horror movie against Celia's will. This causes Andi to get detention the following day for sleeping in class.

#### Dancing in the Dark

It gets worse when Cyrus' mom sends an email blast revealing Andi and Bex's secret to everyone. When Ham takes Celia out of town for a getaway, Bex encourages Andi to throw a dance party. The dance party gets ruined by Amber when she humiliates Bex and Andi and Andi's absent dad. Both Andi and Bex get in trouble with Celia and Celia even stops talking to them.

#### It's Not About You

Andi starts to think that Bex might be a bad influence on her, as she tells Cyrus. She realizes that she needs boundaries and wishes that Bex could act more like a mother. Therefore, she starts avoiding Bex by hiding from her. However, when she finds out that Buffy has been spending more time with Bex, she gets jealous and tries to make it up with both of them.

#### She Said, She Said

Andi faces a big dilemma after catching Amber cheating on Jonah with another boy. She worries that telling Jonah will break his heart, but at the same time, she doesn't want anyone treating Jonah the way Amber did. She finally tells Jonah and when she gets a text from Jonah's phone, she runs through the hallways, knocking everything on her way to get to Jonah. She is disappointed to find that the text was from Amber to prove to Jonah that Andi is in love with Jonah. Andi refuses to confirm that she likes Jonah. She storms off and is disappointed that Jonah doesn't believe her. Jonah tries to apologize but she forces him to leave. She tells Buffy and Cyrus that she wishes she could move away or die but Buffy suggests faking that she's sick. The trio goes to great lengths to help Andi get "sick" but Bex shocks them when she offers to write her a note so that she doesn't have to go to school.

#### Dad Influence

While Bex and Celia are fighting about whether Andi should go to school, there's a knock on the door. It's Bowie Quinn. Bex introduces Andi and Bowie to each other, revealing that Bowie is Andi's father. Finally. Andi learns more about Bowie. Bowie asks to hang out with Andi but Celia wants her to go to school. Andi goes to school and is excited to find out that Jonah and Amber broke up. Jonah wants to talk to her but Bowie shows up and shows that they have permission to go hang out. Andi spends the day with her dad and gets to know him better. He films her as they try different adventures and share their feelings about getting to know each other. She realizes that he cares about the environment just like her and that he is chill and unpredictable and wild. He even takes her to play bongos after "listening" to the universe. At the same time, Andi is concerned about missing her friends as well as trying to figure out what Jonah wanted to ask her. She says goodbye to Bowie but thanks him for the adventure. At school, she's disappointed to learn that Jonah and Amber are back together. Later at home, she asks Bex why she broke up with Bowie and Bex says it's something to do with him being unpredictable.

#### Terms of Embarrassment

Andi is shocked to find Bowie in Andi Shack, which leads to privacy concerns. At first, Andi is glad that Bowie is staying with them but then she starts feeling embarrassed by him. He spends so much time around her, filming her. He even goes to Andi and Jonah's Space Otters Frisbee team practices and introduces himself to all of Andi's friends. But things get worse when Andi finds him on her laptop. This is where Andi keeps all her private stuff and where she looks at pictures of Jonah. So, she feels her privacy has been violated and gets mad at Bowie, asking him to leave her alone. When Bowie leaves, she realizes that he was saving the videos he recorded for her to see. She feels sorry but it's too late because Bowie is already gone.

#### She's Turning Into You

With Bowie gone, Bex cheers Andi up by taking her on a shopping spree at the local vintage store. When Jonah asks Andi for gift-advice for Amber, Andi takes him to The Fringe where Bex takes the opportunity to give Andi make-up in front of Jonah, making Jonah see Andi differently. Jonah calls Andi pretty. Andi and Bex hang out together at The Spoon Diner during which Andi wonders why Bex left in the first place because they could have been having that much fun all the time. Unfortunately, Celia gets mad at Andi and Bex for coming late for dinner and wonders why Bex hasn't gone yet. Andi tries to defend Bex and blames Celia for wanting to send Bex away again. This causes an ugly debate between Celia and Bex about whose fault it was for Bex leaving. Celia says she did it for Andi's welfare but this only makes Andi mad. She storms out. The next day she puts on make-up just to piss off Celia before going to school. Celia is worried that Andi is turning into Bex.

#### Home Away From Home

When Bex picks Andi up after school, neither of them want to go back home. Bex has already got an apartment for them to move in together. Andi struggles to adjust to the new living conditions with Bex. Food is a problem. Electricity is a failure. And Bex can't do Andi's laundry as well as Celia used to. Andi doesn't want to disappoint Bex by complaining. But when she realizes she needs art supplies, she and Bex sneak back into Andi Shack to get supplies. But, they're busted by Celia and Ham. Celia says how much she misses having Andi and wishes Bex could move out alone and let Andi stay. Celia feeds her and they head back to the apartment. Andi then starts sneaking back into Celia's house to eat and to get her laundry done. Bex finds out and is mad that Andi lied to her. Andi apologizes for going behind Bex's back.

It becomes almost impossible for Andi to eat at the apartment because the oven and microwave are not functioning. Bex feels bad and takes Andi back to Celia and asks them to feed them. She says that she wants the best for Andi and she's not ready to raise Andi alone. However, when Andi is left with Celia and Ham like old times, she realizes that she misses Bex and doesn't want things back the way they were. These are new times. So, she asks them to take her back to Bex's apartment. Bex is so happy to have Andi back. For the first time, Andi calls Bex, "mom" which makes Bex very happy.

#### Were We Ever?

Andi runs into trouble with Dr. Metcalf, the new Jefferson Middle School principal for violating the dress code. Principal Metcalf tells Andi that by wearing leggings, she's distracting boys with her body parts. So, Andi, Buffy, and Cyrus tell Bex about their issues with the unreasonable dress code. Bex encourages them to protest against it by marching to school while wearing prison outfits. Andi leads the protest along with Buffy and Cyrus but they're quickly summoned into the principal's office. The principal threatens to suspend them if they don't change. Andi and her crew get energized after seeing other students joining the protest. She asks Jonah to join the protest but he refuses because he's too preoccupied with the Space Otters Frisbee Team photo. During the team photo, Andi shows up with her protest outfit and Jonah tries to convince her to change to the team jersey. Andi refuses to change to the team's jersey unless Jonah can tell her why she is wearing the prison outfit. Jonah can't remember. So, Andi walks away, realizing that Jonah hardly pays attention to what's important to her.

Andi gets her first victory when the protest helps her force Principal Metcalf into a truce. While celebrating their victory, Jonah comes over and calls Andi to walk with him. He apologizes to her for not paying attention to her and for being preoccupied with the Space Otters team photo. He asks Andi to show up the next day for the photo retake but Andi refuses. Andi stands up to Jonah for constantly asking her for favors - including buying birthday gifts for Amber. Yet she keeps doing it just because Jonah asks her to. She never loved frisbee. She only liked it for Jonah. But now after the protest, she feels liberated. She feels like she can go for what she wants without having to make her life revolve around Jonah. Jonah apologizes but Andi tells her it's not his fault. It was her fault for misleading him by doing anything he asked instead of standing up for herself. So, now she's quitting the Space Otters frisbee team. Jonah asks if they can still be friends but Andi asks if they were ever really friends. She walks away in confidence. Finally free. Liberated.

#### Best Surprise Ever

Andi's wish of finally getting a real normal family rises when Bowie comes back to town. Bowie picks up Andi from school and tells her that he came back because the universe told him to come back to Bex. Andi sets up Bowie and Bex in the perfect mood by asking Bowie to play the song he wrote for Bex. She goes to bed, leaving Bex and Bowie dancing, and Andi hopes that Bowie will stay. The following day she's disappointed to find Bowie gone. Bex admits that she likes Bowie but reminds Andi that Bowie is unpredictable and he's not someone they can depend on. Andi finds Bowie at the mall and tries to convince him to come back because both he and Bex love each other. Bowie explains that he needs to prove himself to Bex that he's dependable. While still talking with Andi, Bowie finds an engagement ring in the jacket. Both Andi and Bowie conclude that this is a sign from the universe for Bowie to marry Bex.

#### Mama

Andi finally learns what caused Bex to leave home. Bex tells her that she left because Celia was so hard on her and she criticized everything Bex did. Celia says that teen mom Bex didn't care about school or anything and she wasn't fit to raise a child. Andi already knows that there was tension between the two. So, what was the final thing that caused Bex to leave home? Ham explains that on the day Bex left, Celia and Bex had been arguing from the doctor's office because Celia had presented herself as the baby's mother and the pediatrician treated Bex as a little girl. In the heat of the argument, both Celia and Bex forgot to bring baby Andi back from the hallway. Ham brought the baby into the house, after which baby Andi said her first words, "mama." The problem is, she was calling Celia mama. Not Bex. This made Bex realize that she had no chance of truly being seen as Andi's mother. So, Bex left home, leaving Andi to be raised by Celia. After hearing the story, Andi blames herself for causing Bex to leave but Ham assures her that there was already too much tension before Bex left. It was bound to happen.

She insists that Bex should tell Bowie the truth but Bex refuses, saying that it's too late and Bowie has already moved on and she doesn't want to hurt him. Andi is mad that Bex cares about what Bowie wants but doesn't care about Andi being with her father. This leads to a heated argument between Bex and Andi.

She finally reveals to them that Jonah's wish fell out of his lanter on Chinese New Year. The wish says that Jonah wants his family to be happy again. This led Andi to conclude that Jonah's family must be having money problems, and since Amber went through a similar thing, it would make sense that Jonah would lean on Amber through this difficult time. Andi and her friends try to get Jonah a job without him knowing, but it backfires and they are forced to tell Jonah that they know about his financial situation.

Andi reads about how a clothing company called Mint Chip throws away expensive clothes they can't sell instead of giving them away for free. She and her friends dive into Mint Chip's dumpsters to take the clothes and give them away for free. Because they don't have permission to do so, Andi and her friends are arrested for giving away clothes they don't own. They're given 20 hours of community service.

#### One Girl's Trash

While picking trash as part of their community service*,* Andi realizes that she could use the trash for some of her arts and crafts. Later in school, Andi is shocked to learn that students in her class don't really know her. Instead, all they see is a bunch of Asian stereotypes. This angers Andi, pushing her to do something big to make a statement. It inspires Andi to build a collage masterpiece using important items from major events in her life to show people who she really is. She puts the huge collage on display at school with the caption, "Trashing Stereotypes: Do You See Me Now?" To Andi's surprise, the art piece gets so much attention and praise from a lot of people, including her teachers and Bex.

#### Arts and Inhumanities

Bex is so impressed with Andi's masterpiece that she wants her to apply for an art school to help nurture her art talent. She sends Andi a link to Shadyside Academy of Visual Arts (SAVA) but Andi is overwhelmed by the application since it is designed for people with formal art instructors. To settle the argument between Bex and Andi, Bowie asks them to visit the school to see it for themselves before deciding whether or not Andi should apply. After visiting the SAVA campus, Andi loves the school so much and decides that's where she wants to go.

#### Something to Talk A-Boot

Andi completes the SAVA application but gets cold feet about submitting it. She doesn't want to tell anyone about the application because she's afraid she might not make it. She asks Jonah for advice on whether she should do something if she's afraid of failing. Jonah tells her not to do it, and Andi agrees. However, Andi reopens the laptop only to realize that she sent it by mistake. She receives an acknowledgement card from SAVA but decides to keep a secret so that she doesn't disappoint anyone if she doesn't get in.

#### A Moving Day

Bex tells Andi, Bowie and CeCe that she's won a meal with a famous chef and wants to take them with her. After a long drive and an exhausting walk up the mountain, Andi is surprised to find out that Bex was actually taking them to her surprise wedding. Andi is thrilled to finally have her parents married. While celebrating, Andi gets a phone call and a voicemail from SAVA regarding her application. She listens to the call and doesn't appear to look to happy but Bex and Bowie surpise her and hug her not telling them if she did or didn't get into SAVA.

#### We Were Here

Cece is leaving town so Bex and Andi decide to throw another party. They find so many different supplies from their first party and decide to reuse them. Bowie then comes in to pull Bex aside and show her a letter from SAVA to Andi. The party is alive and everyone is dancing and having fun, then someone in an inflatable dinosaur costume comes down the stairs and starts dancing, winning over the crowd. Everyone assumes it's Andi again, but it's not her. So they assume it's Jonah, but he shows up behind them meaning it's not him either. The person in the costume finishes dancing and reveals that the person inside is Cece. She says she had to come back because she forgot something: how much she wanted to go to one their parties.

Andi and her friends and family then sing *Born This Way.*

Jonah then comes outside and then says he has something for her which worries her that it might be one of his weird presents he used to get her. He says that it's not a present but its the Bracelet. Which they both thought he lost. He asks her what she's gonna do with it. She says that she'll bury it, but he says he wants to keep it since he's always liked it. She puts it on his his wrist. She then says that she wonders what would've happened if they'd met when they were older. He says that someday they *will* be older and she smiles.

The Good Hair Crew, and Bex and Bowie are all sitting by the fire passing and Andi shows them a picture of her, Buffy and Cyrus when they first met in second grade. She shows them Andi Shack which is completely empty. She says that she doesn't need a shack because she needs a studio because she got in to SAVA! Bex asks when did she get in. Andi says that the phone call she got in the middle of their wedding was letting her know that she got in and they'll send her the acceptance letter. Buffy and Cyrus are sad that she'll be leaving them but they're still happy for her.

Bowie says that Andi Shack was outstanding and Bex chimes in saying that a lot of life happened in there. This then leads to flashbacks from the time Andi discovered Bex was her mother, Andi and her friends inside Andi Shack thinking Bex has a secret baby, Bowie and Andi thinking of proposing ideas the first time, Jonah leaving for his frisbee camp and Andi finding out Cece was in Andi Shack, to Bowie thanking Andi for throwing him a party and her calling him "Dad" for the first time.

Bex and Bowie hug Andi saying how proud they are of her, and they go to clean up after the party. This leaves all 4 friends outside. Cyrus says they should cherish this moment because it's probably the last moment they'll be together, which Andi rebuttals saying that no matter where they are or where they go, they'll always be in each others' lives. They all picture themselves in the future. Andi being a famous artist, Buffy being a coach in the WNBA (or NBA), Cyrus being a screenwriter, and Jonah being a rockstar. Andi then asks Jonah to take a picture of the three of them in the same position as the photo from when they were little. He takes it and gives it to her. Buffy then says that tonight was big. Cyrus then says some words from Winnie the Pooh "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." They then all engage in a group hug saying the party was great (in Buffy's words), life-changing (in Cyrus's words), and he missed some stuff (in Jonah's words). Andi then asks if they can all meet at The Spoon the next day. They agree and each give her a hug

She then takes the two photos of her friends and pins them side by side in Andi Shack and turns off the lights and goes back inside. Ending the series.

## Relationships

### Bex Mack

*Main article: Andi and Bex*
Bex is Andi's mother. Out of all her relationships, Andi shares the most personal bond with her. Before discovering Bex's identity as her mother, Andi thought of Bex as her adventurous, cool, older sister, and even looked up to her. However, she was concerned that she was merely an insignificant part of her "sister's" life, and was upset that she didn't know her better. Although at first excited about Bex's arrival at the beginning of the series, Andi slowly begins to realize how far she and Bex have drifted apart. This later worsens when Bex admits to being Andi's mother, causing the tension between the two to increase.
Despite this, Andi slowly comes to accept the fact that Bex is her mother, and the two struggle to adjust to this change. However, Bex continues to act as more of a sister to Andi rather than a mom, which Andi herself notices, admitting that she feels uncomfortable being the "adult" in their relationship (referring to Bex's careless attitude).
While their relationship isn't perfect, the two gradually become closer and form a strong and firm bond of trust. However, it did take some time, due to Bex's secretive attitude around Andi in the beginning. An example of this was when Bex refused to reveal the identity of Andi's father (Bowie Quinn) to her, something which often caused Andi to lash out at her. But they eventually got there after Bex resolved to no longer keep secrets from Andi, and vise Versa.
Andi's role in Bex's life also caused her to become more responsible, although she does, at times, pull Andi into trouble rather than the other way around. Despite this, Andi starts to see Bex more like her mother rather than a sister and eventually begins referring to Bex as Mom, to the latter's delight.
### Bowie Quinn

*Main article: Andi and Bowie*
Bowie is Andi's father. Having not known that Bex was her mother for the first 13 years of her life, Andi remained unaware of her father's very existence. However, when Bex eventually revealed the secret, Andi became determined to find out who her father was, and pressured Bex to tell her. When that didn't work, she began looking for clues herself. Eventually, Bex decides to become more open with Andi and sends Bowie an email. This causes Bowie to come to visit Bex, but to Andi's immense shock, Bex reveals that Bowie is her father instead.
At first, Andi is overjoyed by his arrival. She even agrees to skip school to spend the day with Bowie, where the two continue to learn more about one another. Bowie's adventurous nature and faith in the universe surprise Andi; however, she gradually begins to see much of Bowie's personality on her own. The two bond on their many similarities and Andi quickly becomes attached to him. Bowie even misses his tour for a short time just to remain with Andi and Bex.
However, the longer Bowie stayed, the more Andi became annoyed by him. She is distressed when Bowie embarrasses her at one of her games, and even tells Bex that she wished for some space. Andi gradually becomes more hostile towards Bowie, to his dismay. The last straw was when Andi caught Bowie going through her laptop, accusing him of invading her privacy and yelling for him to leave. However, Bex discovers that Bowie had been working on a music video of their time together, but by the time Andi goes after him, Bowie is long gone.
Bowie later returns to Andi and Bex, where Andi and Bowie apologize to each other and make amends. Andi decides that she does love her father, and even starts hoping that Bowie and Bex will get back together and marry.

### Amber

*Main article: Andi and Amber*
Initially, Andi and Amber didn't have a good relationship with each other. After meeting her when Jonah was teaching Andi Frisbee, Andi goes on to think of her negatively, mostly out of jealousy because of Amber being Jonah's girlfriend. After Amber ruined her party and cheated on Jonah, Andi's dislike of her continued to grow. At Jonah's asking, they try to become friends, but it doesn't work out well, leaving Andi in *huge* trouble. However, once Jonah and Amber had broken up, Amber's more sensitive side has started to show. Throughout seasons 2 and 3, the two seem to bond pretty well. In the episode, *That Syncing Feeling*, the two are shown to have fun together.
### Walker Brodsky

Andi is conflicted between Walker and Jonah but chooses Jonah for the time being. However, when Buffy and Walker start dating, the conflict emerges again and Andi is jealous.

Then, Andi threw the bracelet away and Bex finds it and puts it into a box dedicated to Andi. Bex gives the bracelet back to Andi, who places the bracelet on Jonah's wrist.
