His dark brown hair is occasionally gelled into spikes while his light brown eyes are always dancing with energy. Andrew's smile can light up a room, but when he was younger he was often teased for his 'miniature' ears. Most of the time he can be seen wearing his signature black leather jacket.
How do you like me now
Personality: Andrew is constantly trying to keep a reputation as the "bad boy." He is always ready for a good party and especially one with plenty to drink. He is very rebellious and not the most responsible demigod. As the son of Dionysus, Andrew has control over plants, especially grapes and he can either cause someone to be insane or cure them of insanity. He is also very talented in persuading others to agree with him or do his bidding. While he enjoys partying and going against any authority figure, Andrew also has a soft side. He cannot stand to see others upset or hurting and immediately makes it his duty to cheer them up or at least comfort them in some way. In many serious situations, however, he can become bored and restless. Andrew also loves to joke around. He loves to mess with people's minds. When he was younger, his step sister would call him CC, short for Cheshire Cat. The final way Andrew resembles his father is how he loves to stir up what he calls 'fun,' but others call trouble.

So whats your Story
History: Andrew lived with his mother, step father, and step sister in the city. Although he was still very young when he mother passed away, it hit him hard and he still had trouble thinking about it today. Since her death, Andrew insisted on donating every penny he collected to cancer research so that hopefully others would not suffer the type of loss he suffered. Andrew's step father loved Andrew like his own son and so the family of three moved and tried to start fresh.
Andrew and his step sister Caroline grew close since they were only one year apart, Caroline being the oldest. They became partners in crime and always had each others backs. As Andrew grew older and taller, he began to call Caroline "shrimp" while she called him "Cheshire Cat" or "CC" for short. As the two siblings reached high school, however, events seemed to take a turn for the worst. Caroline slowly began to distance herself from Andrew and although it hurt him, he simply figured she wanted to be closer to her female friends. The realization that his step sister was falling into depression did not hit Andrew or his step father until they found her attempting suicide.
Once again the family moved and tried to start fresh, but the trend had already begun and soon disaster would strike. At age sixteen, when Caroline was seventeen, Andrew began to discover that he was different. Believing that Caroline would understand and support him, he revealed to her his ability to control plants and his ability to cause and cure insanity. What Andrew did not expect was for his step sister to run away screaming and immediately describe to her father what she had witnessed. Andrew still felt as if he could trust his step family and once again revealed his new found abilities. His step father quickly threw Andrew out of his house before moving away, leaving the hurt and confused boy behind.
For the next year, Andrew wandered the streets, avoiding too much attention and simply searching for answers. His answers did not come until he ran across a strange man who directed him towards the forest. After hours of walking, Andrew was ready to give up and assume the man was a lunatic. Before he could turn around, however, Camp Half Blood came into his peripheral vision. Andrew took the information that he was a demigod fairly easily, too numb after his abandonment to truly care what anyone else said. He has been at Camp Half Blood for about a year now and is finally letting his anger towards his step father and step sister go. Andrew has decided to let the past go and live life to its fullest, which of course includes many, many parties.
