**Childhood:** Not much about Andi's early childhood is known. At the age of three, Andi lost both of her parents to cancer. She went to live with her parents' friends the Alonsos. She lived with them until the age of ten then went to live with aunt Jean.

In ninth grade, Andi's favorite zombie in her videogame came to life, (See Jax for the full story.) Andi quickly developed romantic feelings for him and they started dating. Andi never used protection when she had sex with Phillip because Zombies weren't supposed to be able to reproduce. So, she was very shocked when she learned she was pregnant at fifteen. Andi was about three months shy of her sixteenth birthday when she gave birth to her son.

In grades nine and ten, Andi was on the school's swim team. Being on the team meant a lot to her because her parents had been on the team, and being on the team made her feel more connected to them. However, it was ruled unsafe for Andi's unborn son for her to remain on the team while pregnant, so she was forced to leave. She re-joined the team in eleventh grade and may have been on the team in twelfth grade.

**Family:** Andi is the daughter of the late Liam Cruz and the late Kira Cruz. She was raised by her aunt Jean in her tweens and early teens. Jean is now deceased as well.

Andi always puts her children's' needs and wants above her own no matter the situation. Aside from the one time she became obsessed with busting Ruby. Andi often worries about her children's safety and this causes her a lot of stress.

**Personality:** Andi is strong-willed, determined, and stubborn. When she cares about something she doesn't give up on it, and when she wants something she'll do anything to have it. Andi is kind and calmer than her friends. She doesn't normally let her guard down but can be distracted when obsessed with something else and has shown she can be overconfident. Andi can also get frustrated easily. She has a good heart and good intentions. She doesn't do much for herself either as she put her children's needs and wants before her own.

'**Andi's pregnancies**

Andi was fifteen when she learned she was pregnant for her son Ethan. (August 2005) Andi couldn't believe it because her boyfriend was a zombie and zombies had never reproduced before. This meant her baby was the first of a new species. He was going to be a zombie-wizard. Andi soon accepted her pregnancy and was looking forward to being a mother. She had a beautiful image of what life was going to be like with Phillip and their son.

Things soon became a nightmare for Andi. In chapter four, Andi was warned by Lily that the council had found out about her zombie and were coming to capture him. Andi attempted to hide him but the council ended getting him anyways. Andi was devastated and went into a depression. She did manage to get out of her depression with the help and support of her friends but it wasn't for a while. Andi did hold a trial for Phillip but lost and all of Emma's attempts at rescuing Phillip were unsuccessful.

Even without Phillip, Andi was still determined to keep her son to have a piece of him. She also wasn't going to give up on reuniting her family. Andi decided to name her son Ethan chance Cruz and gave birth to him in the final chapter. She made him a promise that one day their family would be full again but until then he'd always have her.

   In 2018, Andi had been feeling off and thought she was coming down with the flue. Kim disagreed as she thought Andi could be pregnant. Andi denied the possibility though knew it could be true. She had Lily come to the Academy to confirm it as Lily was the only nurse Andi trusted to help her. Lily confirmed Andi was in fact pregnant. Andi was unsure what to do. She told the headmaster first, and later in the chapter, told Luke. Andi told Luke she'd never have an abortion and admitted she'd like to keep the baby. Luke agreed with her but they decided not to tell Ethan straight away. Andi gave birth to Kira in January of 2019.

**Being a guardian in training**

Andi started her guardian training in the first chapter. On her first day, she was given her students Jessie Novoa and Ben Sanders. Andi happily received a hug from Jessie whom she had known forever but was disappointed she hadn't been paired up with her son. She shared her disappointment with Aggie while making sure Ben knew she meant no offense to him. She was told guardians are given specific charges for a reason. She was then told to shut up by Jessie who informed her that the council was in charge of making the pairings.

**The mission (Second book.)**

Andi enrolled at the Academy as a guardian in training to continue her search for her zombie lover/baby daddy Phillip who had been captured by the council before their son was even born. On her first day at the Academy, she was called into headmaster Agamemnon's office before the pairings started and was given a warning that she'd have to deal with the council if she brought Phillip back. Andi denied being at the Academy for anything else than her guardian training but Aggie didn't believe her

In the fourth chapter, Andi blew Ethan off twice when he asked her to work on the mission with him. The reason was she had become focused on busting Ruby and only cared about achieving that goal. In the fifth chapter, Andi and Ethan read another book to look for answers but found nothing once again.

In the eighth chapter, while snooping around in Agamemnon's office, Ruby came across an envelope containing information on zombies captured in 2006. She brought it to Andi hoping it would help her with the mission. The paper said all zombies but one had been destroyed but there was no information on the who and what of the non-destroyed one. Andi recalled Duggie had told her some zombies were turned into humans and asked how she'd find out who he was now if this was the case. Ruby told her that Duggie believed he was at the Academy. Andi pointed out that Luke was the only guy here that she and Ethan had gotten to know personally and that Aggie didn't stop them from talking or from hanging out. Kim suggested Aggie just didn't want to bring up suspicion. Andi disagreed because Aggie could have easily made a new rule that guardians couldn't befriend other guardians and teammates. Ruby agreed with Andi. Ruby also pointed out some of the information was false as none of the zombies had been destroyed but instead saved by her dad. She said the council may have written false information on the case file not wanting to admit the zombies had been rescued under noses.

**The second mission *(*Third book)**

The second mission referred to getting Luke his zombie life memories back permanently. The second mission was the real reason Andi and her son Ethan had returned to the Academy. In the first chapter, Andi told Luke that he was Ethan's father and that he was Phillip, and as expected Luke didn't believe her. Andi took his hand and transferred some of her memories of them to him making him realize he was in fact Phillip and he really was Ethan's biological father.

In the third chapter, Andi had hoped to spend Christmas with Luke and their son but Luke pointed out to her that he needed to spend the holidays with his parents as usual to avoid suspicion. Andi was disappointed but understood and they made plans to meet after the holidays. When Andi joined her friends and their children for supper at Emma's place to have supper, Andi didn't agree with her friends that it was too easy how fast Andi had been able to restore Luke's memory of being Phillip. She was in denial, and Gracie told Ethan this Andi was smart enough to know deep down that it had been too easy and that more problems would eventually arise.

In the fifth chapter, Andi waited for Luke as planned in the agreed place for an hour but Luke never showed. Luke had instead taken Gracie and Shawn out to the small field. Andi found this out by Jessie and joined them. Luke appeared quite confused as to why Andi believed they had been supposed to meet to make sure he was safe. Andi went to Ruby for answers. Ruby went with Andi to ask Luke what he remembered about his conversation with Andi from before Christmas break and in September. After talking with Luke, Ruby informed Andi that Luke had again lost his memory of being Phillip because they had been apart from each other too long.

Following Jessie's advice, Andi spent some quality time with Luke to train for an upcoming race. She asked Luke if he's ever felt like he's known someone longer than he has. He replied he feels like he's known her and Ethan longer than he has but that in reality, he hasn't.

**The third mission (Fourth and fifth book.)**

In the first chapter, Andi returned home for the weekend to spend some time with a few of her friends. While having lunch with them, Andi had a run-in with the council but was saved by Maddie who teleported them away. She returned to the Academy the next day.

In the second chapter, Andi returned to the mortal realm with Emma to help her locate Jessie. Not only did she not find Jessie but she lost Emma too. Without Emma's protection, Andi was a sitting duck. She quickly made her way to Ursula's house and explained what happened. Ursula let her in and it was Maddie who ensure her safe passage back to the academy.
