André Roveston/Relationships

#### Pierre Swallowtail

In short, André dislikes Pierre due to his more regal way of life and typically lawful attitude. He shows little to no hesitation on threatening, verbally abusing or making a fool out of Pierre, calling Pierre not by name, but by terms such as 'butterfly' or something mocking his social status. Even after he and André begin working together, André rarely ever calls him by his name.

It is clear that André holds somewhat of a grudge against him for foiling his plans in Party Crasher. Despite telling The Black Beetles about Pierre, he later becomes careful about what he says, showing that he does not wish bad on him. He begins to regret telling the gang about Pierre in the first place because of the time they had spent together as informants wherein they became friends. He soon insists to the group that he will take care of Pierre when in reality he lets Pierre go, agreeing that his renewed membership into the Black Beetles was now just an infiltration. André begins to inform Lebah of their plans, showing André's concern for Pierre as he recognises meeting with Pierre was too much of a risk.

Deep down, André's negative attitude towards Pierre is down to jealousy, supported by the fact he tends to insult Pierre based on the things he's never had, such as his family, wealth or manners.

#### Skeeto

André and Skeeto are seemingly close friends despite their different backgrounds. The relationship between the two is generally on good terms since they are close, if not best friends. They are able to talk about most things together, however their conversations usually turn into that of no meaning. Both are confident in each other's abilities and prove to be good friends as they may sometimes engage in friendly banter. The two frequently play pranks on each other that normally put them in bad situations with Pierre or otherwise.

André doesn't really feel as strongly as Skeeto does deep down about their friendship at first, but nevertheless values him. André merely views Skeeto as what he is, yet does not question his morals or insult him like he does to Pierre occasionally.

When engaged in teamwork, André takes no interest in holding Skeeto back like Pierre may attempt to do when he thinks the mosquito is acting too brashly. Both are confident in each other's abilities which leads to some form of trust when dealing with stressful situations. While they generally cooperate quite well with one another, André sees no problem with pushing the boundaries and encouraging Skeeto's reckless behaviour. Despite the two knowing they can depend on each other, André sometimes becomes doubtful, though this could be because of his trust issues.

#### Ladybug

André and Ladybug first meet when Pierre informs her about their case work, sending the female to speak to André about how he is distracted by his newly found clique and needs to work to solve said case. He agrees to speak with her, and although only acting in a flirtatious way to get him back on task with Pierre, Ladybug seemingly develops feelings for him, wanting him to ask her to the rapidly approaching school dance. Upon sharing a kiss and being caught by Lebah, the bee reports this information to Pierre who becomes angry that the whole case could end up in jeopardy.

André and Ladybug end up attending the dance together, leaving soon after Skeeto and his date, in which Pierre becomes jealous and irritated by the both of them, such events triggering his coming out to Will.

#### Lebah Miele

André is a brief bully towards Lebah during the school case along with Skeeto due to their cliques. Once André drifted into his relevant clique, he began to treat Lebah in a way that the bee and most others classified as bullying. André apparently did not seem to realise what he was doing, yet, when he did, he was seemingly proud of it. Being able to rule a school was obviously fun or André as he had never had a chance to take lead on many things, and Skeeto's influence didn't help.

This attitude continues when Lebah becomes a more regular part of the team's operation. He often mocks the bee for his knowledge, intimidating him into spilling private information about other members of the team or when he just wants to know something. André is shown to pick on Lebah a lot, more-so definable as bullying rather than what he does to other members of the team.

However, it is shown that André seems to care for Lebah at some points, yet this is probably because he is a friend of Pierre's. André also gets jealous at the fact Pierre seems to defend Lebah, something that causes him to continue treating him the way he does.### **The Black Beetles**

* Ciara Grounds
* Violet Oiller

#### Ciara Grounds

Ciara was a good friend to André and was one of, if not the only gang member he trusted in. She was the first of the members who discovered that André had shifted his allegiance elsewhere and seemed to be one of the only members who cared about his disappearance. The relationship between André and Ciara is good since they were and perhaps still are close. Regardless of events of the past, their relationship is purely platonic. They were able to talk about anything together, André even telling her about his debating feelings towards the gang's actions. Despite his departure, she is still seemingly concerned with his well-being.

#### Violet Oiller

Like Violet acts around André, his relationship with her depends on different circumstances. André and Violet were on good terms whilst he was a member of The Black Beetles, yet when away from it their relationship can become rocky, the two engaging in a war of words and sarcasm. This doesn't last long though as their pasts forbid them from going to far. This shows the two to care for each other somewhat. Despite their arguments, the two are generally friends, yet this is usually when they are one-to-one. Their personalities are additionally shown to contrast in certain situations, Violet using persuasion on people (usually her victims) whereas André prefers to demand. Violet also seems to prefer André's cunning side, yet due to her dark nature, this is obviously the case.

When in a fight with Pierre, Violet is the first member of the gang he speaks to about getting his place back. This may be due to Violet's higher position in the gang than Ciara, and the fact she would more likely be able to give him his place back, or maybe because he didn't want Ciara feeling as though he was dependant on her for everything. When not in the gang, however, she usually attempts to get him to convert back. This shows that she values his companionship in some sense.
