## Personality

*"The* *sweet and shy Andy Zweikowski, The only thing that trumps his passion for cooking is his kindness and will to help others. He’s always on the lookout for something exciting and new." - The cast page on the official Comic Site.*

Andy is described to be clumsy and shy, yet very caring of others. He's also into cooking, and it was told that he does all the cooking in the house, which includes Ace, Jack, Hazel, and him. Being the youngest of the group, everyone "babies" him, something that seems to annoy him to some degree.

The creators have described him as "fidgety and stammers a lot, not to mention really clumsy and always has at least one bandaid on him."

It was mentioned on the Tumblr page that he likes hero comic books.

## Biography

Although details of his life before the apocalypse is yet to be revealed, he first appears in the kitchen of the house in which he and Hazel, Ace, and Jack live, baking cookies.

Suddenly, he is confronted by a female animated (who is later revealed to have been "Hershey") who had broken into their house and tried to murder him. Fortunately, Hazel comes to the rescue and kills her with an arrow to the head. They are relieved that both of them are safe, but Hazel begins to scold him for being up that late at night, and accuses him of using food in the house to bake cookies for himself. To calm down the upset Hazel, he gives her a fruitcake that he was planning to give to her later, but gifted it to her earlier since she was "throwing a tantrum". Hazel is moved by his kindness, and while chomping on the cake, mentions how Jack went out quickly to go get Ace. This makes Andy question what happened to Ace in the first place. She quickly tries to cover it up by saying he just got lost, but then Hazel realizes the strange fact that Jack and Ace mentioned that they were going to The Well so late at night. Hazel tells Andy that she was thinking about tagging along, but didn’t want to leave Andy in the house alone. Andy proposes that he should go with Hazel to find them because he feels that he is always being protected and wishes to help as well. However, she strongly disagrees with this, and tells Andy that she will not allow him to go. After this, Hazel spots the cookies Andy was baking, and tries to grab the bag and eat one. Interestingly, Andy seemed to be overly against and concerned about her doing so.

Hazel says that she will be in Jack's room until he comes back, while Andy wishes her goodnight. Andy goes to his own room and complains about Hazel's speech, then starts to put on a dress and a rabbit-shaped mask to keep himself undercover and help Jack and Ace. He later catches up to them, right when Ace watched Jack go down the well. Although Ace is surprised at Andy's sudden appearance, he agrees to help him get down. Although Andy is excited by the prospect of rescuing a human from the well (and obtaining their first Queen card), Jack expresses his disapproval of Andy sneaking out “again.”

When Jack and Andy are confronted by a pack of jellyfish at the entrance of the Well, Andy reveals that the cookies he had been baking were toxic. He feeds his cookies to several of the animated, and they fall to the ground. This impresses Jack, and he allows Andy to follow him deeper into the Well.

Later, Jack and Andy meet Joki at the bottom of the Well.

## Relationships

### Jack

Hazel stated that he is "overprotective", whether that means just for Andy or for everyone, we don't know. We do know that he seems to be paranoid about his friends' safety including Andy.

### Ace

Not much interaction has been seen with Ace and Andy, besides Ace calling him "carrots".

### Hazel

Hazel sees Andy as someone to protect. They're pretty affectionate with each other, but that being said, she is overprotective of him and has refused to let him go outside to face the risks of Aisho like everyone else, which he dislikes.

## Trivia
