**“**  *Her guitar playing’s the best for sure, but she also brings colours to that damp place.*  **”**
— *Weird*
**Andi Evan** is a participant of the *First Real Life Killing Game* featured in Danganronpa Murder Fabrication. Her title is **Ultimate Guitarist**.

## Appearance

Andi is a 21 years old woman who looks slightly younger than she is. She has pinkish-red hair and red eyes. She wears a black bare shoulder top over a light blue tank-top, denim shorts, and black shoes.

## Personality

Andi can be a little tough to grasp, as often she goes from an emotion to the other without a break or warning. She could be terribly angry and the second that follows joke calmly, as much as she could be having fun and suddenly feel anxious. However she seems okay most of the time, this attitude being sometimes really discrete, as she isn't terribly extreme when she expresses her emotions.

She's pretty blunt, never hesitant to say what she thinks, and doesn't like conversations to get too deep or lengthy. She claims thinking things through too hard quickly makes her bored, if not annoyed.

She also sometimes does things without knowing - or rememebering - why.

## Talent

Andi is the *Ultimate Guitarist*. As such, she is famous for her incredible guitar-playing skills.

Throughout the Killing Game, Andi makes numerous mentions of wanting a guitar to play. She mentions missing it so bad, she feels like she could go into a coma. She is passionate about music, and claims to have been born knowing how to play the guitar. Although the others don't believe her, she insists that she is telling the truth. She mentions having very good hearing, although her hearing allows her to focus on music specifically. If she hears music, she might even be unable to hear voices over it.

Andi appears to view a lot of meaning in the music an individual specifically plays, and she insists that Keith Acker should play for her one day - eventually asking "what are the feelings that come out when a liar plays their music?" According to her, she can only make sense of her own feelings when she plays the guitar.

Chris Vivas claims to have heard Andi's music on the radio once, but that she didn't imagine "someone like her" was the Ultimate Guitarist. Andi mentions that it's rare for her to play on the radio, as she prefers giving concerts. In a Q&A on the story's official tumblr blog, Andi explained that she likes playing the acoustic guitar the most, although she enjoys playing the electric guitar too. Other people seem to like the electric guitar the most, so she ends up playing it often for concerts.

Andi has released multiple EPs. She mentions that she wrote a song named *Table*, just because she saw a particularly pretty table. She wants to collaborate with Jan Lyons, the Ultimate Pianist, and claims that she wants one of their songs to have lyrics, but just one.

Her only known lyrics are as follows:

*“Hard like its surface…”*
[...]

*“My head is unbreakable, unbreakable.

Why is my heart irreparable, irreparable?

Hit it with a hammer and it won’t move.

Hit it with my head and it breaks.”*

Andi initially learned to play the guitar as a hobby, but when she had to work, she enjoyed giving concerts the most, either in the streets or, later, in a bar. Despite being overworked, Andi felt peaceful when she gave those concerts, so long as she closed her eyes and ignored everything else.
Throughout her childhood, she experienced the most happiness when she wore earphones and listened to her favourite music.
When she ran from an abusive situation, she chose to leave her guitar behind, but compared it to being separated from her child.

## History

### Introduction

Andi seems to be of American origin. As someone who likes to live in the present, she hasn't let out any information regarding her past.

### The First Real Life Killing Game

She immediately opposes Monokuma, trying to get him to get out information when he's making everyone wait for whatever reason. She struggles to believe in the killing game, or the possibilty that they're all stuck in a school, and for that reason doesn't hesitate to contradict the plushed bear. She then agrees to search the school for a possible exit, and is shown to look for more clues than that, as she tries to collaborate with Keith to check what the infirmary is filled with. When eventually everyone realizes that there is no exit, she continues working with everyone, having accepted the situation.

#### Chapter 1

She agrees to search the school for a possible exit, and is shown to look for more clues than that, as she tries to collaborate with Keith to check what the infirmary is filled with. The two of them almost immediately get into a fight, however, and Keith avoids her from that point on.

Forced to accept the situation, she adapts to her life inside the Academy. She befriends some of the girls and never hesitates to be honest.

Having shown that she worried about Keith beforehand already, Andi seems to feel particularly bad after the announcement of the first motive, during which he was badly injured by Monokuma. Once she's in a better mood, however, she decides to leave him no choice but to be in her company, spending a lot of time in the room he's unable to move out from.

She has no recollection of her dream and seems surprised by what happened.

## Bonus stories

### Canon

#### Weird

*Today was rather uneventful, but he’s tired nonetheless. He’s a man in his late thirties – he’ll never say whether the shaved head is a personal choice or if he started balding in his twenties. He’s sitting at the bar on his own, he glances at the backroom every now and then, even though he can’t see inside. He can hear the boss making some phone calls, but he can’t make out what he’s saying. Seriously, it’s about time he comes out.*

*The man sighs and finally stands up. He walks behind the counter to go wash his glass. Thankfully, that’s when he hears his partner climb up the few steps that separate the backroom from the bar.*

*“- What’s going on back there?”*

*He stops the water and grabs a cloth to dry the glass. He spoke out unnecessarily loud, just to make sure he grabbed the other man’s attention.*

### Unknown canonicity

#### Red

*If you’d asked her how she wanted to die at any point in time, this probably wouldn’t have been her first choice…*

*Though it might depend on how direly one wants to live.*

*Knowing the truth about everything, and knowing what she has already lost…*

*Because she knows how it has been,*

*she’d wish for another shot.*

## Relationships

### Keith Acker

Keith and Andi go to the infirmary together and decide to check if the blood bags are filled with actual or fake blood, but as Andi was going to grab a basin in the back, he accidentally spills the whole bag he was holding all over his feet. Andi scolds him, thinking that he wasn't careful enough, but the fight quickly gets out of hand, and when she tries to make sense out of it and brush it off, Keith stays angry, and eventually goes away, leaving her in the infirmary with all the blood spilled. She doesn't care much that she has to wash everything herself, she becomes worried that their fight was her fault, and later on, is seen trying to buy his trust back by covering up for him when someone points out the blood on his shoes.

She often tries to earn his forgiveness, but Keith won't have it. When Monokuma gravely wounds him, making him unable to move at all, however, Andi decides to "get her revenge on him" by staying with him, convinced that he'll end up liking her after a while. Keith keeps telling her off, annoyed by everything she says and does, but shows genuine concern when she says worrying things in her sleep - which he quickly forgets about, accusing her for the pain she made him endure because he sat upright in a panic.

### Neo Devin

Neo doesn't seem to like Andi's attitude much at first, but she quickly makes him curious. He tries his best to make sense out of what she says, but doesn't manage, which doesn't keep him from getting attached to her and her quirks. Andi, on the other hand, acts friendly towards him, and doesn't hesitate to tell him about how she feels.
