Andrew 💚

Andrew has a toxic, codependent relationship with his sister: they enable each other in their insanity which very often borders on its extreme nature such as threatening or actual violence, lengthy conversations about suicide, murder, assault and battery, incestuous feelings, cannibalism, etc.

In the game, his behavior is often times sardonic and cynical, often replying sarcastically or in an exasperated manner. He finds his sister frustrating to converse with, and his being held captive with her only makes this resentment grow. Despite this, Andrew can be seen engaging in malicious collusion with her and they both collaborate to murder and take advantage of the various secondary characters to escape and survive.

Although many times throughout history, it is shown that he often questions himself about certain actions he does, or even looks horrified by what he and/or his sister does, showing that, unlike his sister, he is not apathetic to what he is doing. Andrew can also show love, like how he had a girlfriend named Julia, but due to her sister wanting him for herself, she threated her life which caused her to broke up with Andrew.

Andrew was born in an unspecified year in an unspecified country to Mr. and Mrs. Graves. Due to his docile personality, Renee Graves thought it would be easy on her parenting to have a second child, which would lead to her birth of Andrew's sister Ashley. Unfortunately, Ashley's loud and abrasive personality was a hassle to deal with. This led to the beginning of the Graves parents neglecting their children, leading to Andrew and Ashley developing extremely nihilistic, narcissistic and sociopathic traits.

One day when the siblings were seven and five years old respectively, Andrew was pressured by Ashley to prank their friend Nina by locking her in a wooden chest while the three were playing hide and seek. Although reluctant to carry out the act, Andrew went along with it after being manipulated by Ashley's crying. The following day, the children returned to the warehouse and found Nina dead from an asthma attack and dust inhalation, forcing the two to bury her body in a nearby park to hide it. Although Ashley would taunt a remorseful Andrew about the tragic event, he responds by threatening her at knifepoint and made her promise to never talk about the incident with anyone.

Mrs. Graves eventually discovered the truth, but out of love for her children, she decided against reporting it to the authorities. However, from that point onwards, Mr. and Mrs. Graves became increasingly neglectful of their children, forcing Andrew to look out for his little sister on his own. The following decade led to the siblings growing increasingly attached to each other, while becoming more and more hostile towards their apathetic parents. Many years later, Ashley and Andrew are now living in a filthy apartment with their parents, until the building's water supply is infected with a virus leading to the building's quarantine, their parents escape the quarantine due to not having consumed any of the contaminated water, but the siblings are forced to stay. Ashley and her brother are starved inside the building due to their depleting food supplies and the guards not giving them any food, that is until their neighbor dies during a botched demonic summoning. Ashley again pressures Andrew into helping her chop up the neighbor's body so they could both eat him. When the guards finally notice the neighbor is missing, she almost gets attacked but the guard is killed by Andrew.

Andrew and his sister now plan to escape but during their attempt end up killing the other guard inside the apartment by sacrificing him to a demonic entity. The siblings both escape the apartment complex and go into the city as criminals running from the law with a now uncertain future ahead of them. Andrew is the eldest and only son of Mr. and Mrs. Graves as a result of a teen pregnancy. Two years later, Ashley was born and their mother tasked him with Ashley's care. Due to their parents' negligence, Andrew was both an older brother and the primary caretaker to Ashley. The two were practically inseparable growing up and combined with Andrew's role as brother and caregiver, led to a codependent and toxic relationship between them.

HUH Andrew was claimed to be the "easy child"[3] which led to his parents favoritism. Despite their favoritism he was still neglected. During childhood their parents were still absent throughout his childhood and he frequently stayed home alone with Ashley. His parents entrusted him with chores such as grocery shopping and cooking. He was treated with birthday parties and it's implied that he was very sociable, with his friends being invited to his parties.

Mrs. Graves did take note of his and Ashley's odd codependency but at the time dismissed it as them getting along. [4]

Mr. Graves was absent in his son's life. Even at one point calling Andrew by a different nickname, "Anders". Andy regards his father in a negative light due to his dormant nature.
