PERSONALITY: andy is a hufflepuff if there ever was one. she never fails to stand up for her loved ones and will never turn her back on them. it takes a bit to earn her respect and trust, but once you have it, there's a high chance you will never lose it. andy has always been a guarded individual to new people, tending to never give them the benefit of the doubt until they earn it.
APPEARANCE: a bit on the taller side, andy stands at 5'7" and is the opposite of a thin woman. due to playing softball for most of her life, she's incredibly fit. she has the typical softball thick thighs and her arms are TONED. most softball girls tend to have longer hair, able to put it in braids and ponytails to stay out of their face, but not andy. andy loves having short hair, and once her ball cap is on, her hair stays out of her face anyways. her hair color has always been that bright blonde shade w/ a bit of a wave to it. when she first came around the team, they teased her about being a southern belle with her blonde hair and blue eyes and the name just stuck

HISTORY: andromeda was definitely the odd man out of the jackson family. being the eldest of three, her parents had incredibly high standards for her. you see, the jackson family is full of scientists and mathematicians; astronomers hence her name her parents absolutely planned on her to follow in their footsteps and were incredibly shocked when they found out she was going to CALIFORNIA on a SOFTBALL scholarship to be a MUSIC MAJOR. it took them a long time to get used to the idea of their eldest daughter going into such an unstable field, and for the most part they still haven't. they ride her off as a failure and push all their expectations onto her younger siblings, belinda and callisto (andy has always called them bell and cal), but they all love each other more than anything. her siblings are her biggest supporters and andy is their sign of letting them do what they want and not follow their parents dreams.
