Alternate names: Andi

**Andrea Rhodea**, known as **Aniyan Kunyan** in Japanese, is the owner/proprietor of—and lead dancer at—the Honeybee Inn in *Final Fantasy VII Remake*. As one of the Wall Market Trio—a group of high-profile figures acting as "scouts" for Don Corneo's bridal auditions—he has a great deal of influence in the near-lawless entertainment district. He trains his body and spirit regularly in pursuit of supreme beauty.

## Profile

### Appearance

Andrea is a slender man with short brown hair and a trimmed goatee. He wears a flashy deep purple and gold getup with a fluffy raised collar. His silken outfit is decorated with bee and insect related details, resembling webbing and wings. He wears shiny black dress shoes. He wears this getup even to the gym.

### Personality

Andrea appreciates beauty and adds a flair of showmanship in all his encounters. He appreciates those who are willing to challenge themselves and offers his aid to them. He enjoys being the center of attention and curating shows that meet his high standards. The establishment he runs presumably reflects his sense of aesthetics and style.

## History

Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough came to Wall Market to rescue Cloud's friend Tifa Lockhart who had taken part in Don Corneo's bridal audition. When they sought Andrea at the Honeybee Inn, however, they were told that Andrea has a three-year-long waiting list for appointments and that he rarely ever sees anyone without an appointment. Cloud did not want Aerith to put herself in danger alone, but to go with her to the audition he would need to disguise himself as a woman. After seeing Cloud's performance at the Corneo Colosseum, Andrea became interested in him and summoned him to the Honeybee Inn, where he called Cloud to join him on the stage, promising him a makeover and an endorsement should Cloud impress him with dancing skills.

A reluctant Cloud went through with the show in front of adoring crowds, and an approving Andrea had him transformed on the stage. Andrea did a final dance with a transformed Cloud, telling him to never be afraid of beauty no matter what form in may take. Andrea conspired with Corneo's lackey Leslie Kyle to smuggle Cloud and his friends' clothes and equipment to Corneo's manor so they could netter execute their heist.

After the Sector 7 plate fall, Cloud could meet Andrea among the scared crowds gathered at the Wall Market. Andrea asked if Cloud had succeeded in his mission, with Cloud affirming and thanking Andrea for his help. Later on, Andrea goes to train at the gym where he challenges Cloud's friend Tifa to a pull-ups competition.
