## Appearance

### Body

Andrew is a thin, pale-skinned boy, with emerald green eyes, black unruly hair, and a black, slightly over-sized T-shirt. His neck is thin and he shows a vast array of expressions, most of which are concerned, annoyed, or panicked.

### In-Game Sprite

His sprite, like the other characters, is a stoical, greyscale, pixel-art, version of him.

## Personality

Andy is described as spineless, due to his submissive nature and his in-ability to retaliate against Leyley's wishes. This can be seen in Episode 1: The Coffin when he is pressured to lock Nina in a crate. Andy is rule-abiding and thinks before he acts, he's the one who ends up responsible for his and Leyley's actions. Andy can be seen nurturing and caring for Leyley, yet despite this he is frequently annoyed and, or angered by her antics. He displays a high level of intelligence despite being young, and is logical in his approaches. He is the voice of reason and Leyley's anchor.

## Background

Andy (Andrew) was born the eldest son to Mr. and Mrs. Graves. He was the result of a teen pregnancy and was forcefully parentified once Leyley (Ashley) was born. Due to their parents absence in their upbringing, Andy had to fulfill the roles of both her *older brother* and *caretaker*. They grew up practically inseparable and this (combined with the parentification) caused an extremely co-dependent and toxic relationship to take shape.

## Relationships

### Leyley

**Leyley** is Andy's *little sister*. Due to her controlling personality he is often times forced to follow her every beck and call, However, he finds it unfair that his parents didn't treat Leyley with the same affection he received and goes out of his way to buy her gifts and watch rented movies with her. Like most older siblings, he did not want Leyley to be so attached to him and wanted to be free to go with his friends. It's implied that at times his mother forced Andy to play with Leyley.

### Mr. And Mrs. Graves

Andy was claimed to be the "easy child" which led to his parents favoritism. Despite their favoritism he was still neglected. During childhood their parents were still absent throughout his childhood and he frequently stayed home alone with Leyley. His parents entrusted him with chores such as grocery shopping and cooking. He was treated with birthday parties and it's implied that he was very sociable, with his friends being invited to his parties.

Mrs. Graves did take note of his and Leyley's odd codependency but at the time dismissed it as them getting along.

Mr. Graves was absent in his son's life. Even at one point calling Andy by a different name, "Anders". Andy regards his father in a negative light due to his dormant nature.
