Personal Style: Andromeda tends to dress rather casually. She works in the museum she owns, so she gets to set the dress code. Typically, she'll either be in a hoodie or a trench coat, and a pair of dark washed jeans are a staple. She loves a sturdy pair of boots, and she never wears anything really flashy or "sexy." Her hair is short and curly, and if she ever accessories, it's usually a locket and some earrings.
Psychology
Dedicated * Control Freak * Clever * Proud * Resourceful * Judgmental

Personality: Andromeda has never been described in her life as lazy or ignorant. She has a drive that pushes her through life, letting her accomplish roughly anything that she puts her mind to. Her dedication has allowed her to come out on top, time and time again. However, Andromeda's drive can impact her personal relationships. She can lose friends just as quickly as she makes them, and she isn't one to apologize easily.
She's also incredibly clever and resourceful, allowing her to carve out her small little collection of oddities. Things that other people would never think of come naturally to Andromeda. Her mind is always open and looking for new things. However, if others don't keep the same open minded attitude, she can be a bit judgmental and harsh on them.

History
First Necromantic Encounter: Andromeda had dedicated her life searching for the bizarre. She spent her summer in New Zealand, at the same time when the horrific events were occurring in Altsoba. From behind the blinds in her hotel room, she spotted a scandalously dressed man pounding on the door of her neighbor. He was let inside. A few minutes later, screams pierced the air. Andromeda quietly rushed over, only to witness the woman being devoured alive, her heart lying limply on the floor as the thing continued to feast. It hadn't noticed her yet, and Andromeda grabbed the lamp from the table, and smashed the creature's brains in.
It was only later, once she had a chance to do some proper research, that Andromeda learned what that had been--a rakshasha.
Life Before the Altsoba Massacre: The Aldrich family has been in Coventry since 1867, having purchased a small hotel with profits received for service of the Union Army in the Civil War. Andromeda's father, Sal, turned the dying hotel into a themed hotel about thirty years ago, right around when he married her mother, a world famous astronomer. The marriage didn't last long, since Andromeda's mother worked in New Mexico for S.E.T.I.
Her time was split then between the Halloween themed hotel and the satellites in New Mexico. The arrangement was a unique one. Initially, Andromeda spent the school year with her mother. Her mother was in love with her work, and so, Andromeda missed school frequently to come observing with her. She learned a lot of science, but not much else. However, this instilled one of Andromeda's deep beliefs in her--to question everything and to keep an open mind.
A court order sent Andromeda to live with her father, Sal, for most of her high school career. She received a far more stable education, and ended up attending a school nearby in Boston for college. Pursuing a degree in history with a minor in astronomy, Andromeda found her love for bizarre history and facts. Little things that didn't seem to be possible. She spent most of her twenties traveling the world and collecting these little artifacts, and by the time she came home, she turned her collection into a museum. The town was already a tourist trap for those interested in things a little odd, making it the perfect place for her to live out her life.
Life Since the Altsoba Massacre: Andromeda continued her search for the bizarre, but now began to learn more and more about the truth. The events in Altsoba were largely covered up, but she continued to study on her own, eventually finding out roughly what happened. She knew what she had seen in New Zealand--it wasn't something that she could have made up. Her father was murdered just months after the events at Altsoba, and Andromeda has been running the hotel ever since the tragedy. She can't quite explain it, but she knows that her father's death has something to do with what happened in Altsoba.
But of course, it's not like she can tell the police that...

☯ Seraphina Adams ☯
"She's more effective than the police, at any rate."
"She's more effective than the police, at any rate."
The police weren't looking into her father's murder properly. Andromeda needed someone open enough to consider supernatural causes for her father's death. And given that Seraphina was at the center of the Altsoba massacre, Andromeda figured she'd be able to do the job. As long as Seraphina keeps working the case, Andromeda has no issues with her.

☯ Emmie Adams ☯
"The little bug finds me creepy...which is amusing, to say the least."
"The little bug finds me creepy...which is amusing, to say the least."
Emmie can be a little tense around Andromeda, though Andromeda doesn't return the animosity. No matter how many times the kid calls her pasty or freaks out in the hotel, or at the museum, Andromeda just laughs it off. It's nice to have a small problem like that, compared to the other heavy things going on in her life.

✿ Alexander Aster ✿
"He's got a bit of a stutter, yeah. He's nice, though."
"He's got a bit of a stutter, yeah. He's nice, though."
Andromeda and Alexander both grew up in Coventry. They never became incredibly close friends, but close enough that when Alexander's apartment was under construction, Andromeda let him take a room at the hotel, free of charge. They haven't talked much about emotional issues, especially not the murder of Andromeda's father. Perhaps they could become better friends in time.

☯ Seraphina Adams ☯
"I don't regret hiring her."
"I don't regret hiring her."
Seraphina was hired by Andromeda to look into her father's murder. While Andromeda did find out the identity of the murderer on her own, she's certain she'll still need Seraphina's help in avenging her father. Sera seems to be capable and confident--and certainly more dependable than any member of the police. Of course, now that she's fallen through time and is an angel again, things are a little weird...
☯ Eudora Erebus ☯
"She killed the bloody antichrist!"
"She killed the bloody antichrist!"
Andromeda only interacted with Eudora briefly when the woman checked into the hotel. She's fairly typical looking for those who spend time at Coventry Horrors. But once Andromeda got the chance to know her, she can't help but be impressed by the witch. She's definitely someone Andromeda wants in her corner.
☯ Emmie Adams ☯
"She's incredibly brave."
"She's incredibly brave."
Andromeda has grown to trust Emmie, given that the young girl stood by her during a near death experience. She shared with her a well kept family secret--her half-brother who was given up for adoption, Walter Hanson. It amuses her to no end how much the little bug finds the hotel and the museum creepy, given that to Andromeda, those things are normal.
☯ Liam Matthews ☯
"He looks haunted."
"He looks haunted."
Andromeda hasn't interacted with the man all too much, though she has seen him come and go. There's a look in his eyes that tells her that he's seen some shit.
☯ Aloise Zamora ☯
"She looks tough."
"She looks tough."
Andromeda saw the woman during check-in, and from what she knows, Aloise isn't someone to be messed with. The woman carries herself rather well, in an almost military way. But hey, she paid the rent on time--that's all that matters.
☣ Folly Valeska ☣
"She didn't kill my father."
"She didn't kill my father."
Andromeda has no issues with Folly herself. However, she has a distaste for the girl. She sees Folly as representative of police incompetence, as a symbol for all of the idiots in the police department. Part of Andromeda thinks that if it wasn't for Folly, the police may have apprehended her father's killer so much sooner--or at least, considered the possibility that his murderer wasn't human.
☣ Carbry Keenan ☣
"He's been gone for a while..."
"He's been gone for a while..."
Andromeda briefly met the O.M.E.N. agent and sent him off with her brother. Despite the pair of them heading off what seems ages ago, neither of them have returned and there are no answers yet as to who killed Seraphina. Andromeda isn't sure what to make of it quite yet, but she is wary of the man.
☯ Lilith St. Sebastian ☯
"She looks like a bit of a badass"
"She looks like a bit of a badass"
Andromeda hasn't quite met Lilith just yet, only really having observed the actions she took against the demon so far.
☯ Thalia Maehers ☯
"I love her hair!"
"I love her hair!"
Andromeda hasn't quite met Thalia just yet, only really having observed the actions she took against the demon so far.
☯ Olivia Johnson ☯
"I can only hope she looks at the facts."
"I can only hope she looks at the facts."
Olivia is part of the investigation looking into the murder of Andromeda's father. Andromeda now knows that a demon killed her father and she wants justice, but she doubts anyone in the justice system will give that to her. If Olivia puts two and two together, that's great. But otherwise, Andromeda doesn't care for her too much.
❦ Walter Hanson ❦
"He tried to atone for what he did. The world just wouldn't let him."
"He tried to atone for what he did. The world just wouldn't let him."
Andromeda doesn't have illusions about what her brother has done. She knows that he tried to end the world and everyone in it. But just because someone stumbles and loses their way, it doesn't mean they're lost forever. Hanson is trying to repent for his actions and to Andromeda, that's all that matters. He's family.
☯October Crypt ☯
"Who?"
"Who?"
Andromeda hasn't met October yet.
☯ Carolina Reed ☯
"Don't know her either."
"Don't know her either."
Andromeda hasn't met Carolina yet.
☯ Millicent Clarke ☯
"This must seem weird as hell to her..."
"This must seem weird as hell to her..."
From what Andromeda can tell, Millicent didn't just fall a few years through time. No, the woman came a couple of centuries forward. She can't imagine how insane this entire situation must seem to her.
☯ Katsumi Mitsukuri ☯
"I wouldn't mess with her."
"I wouldn't mess with her."
She has a machete. And she beheaded someone. That's all Andromeda knows and all she needs to know.
☯ Cecily Ashworth ☯
"She's just sort of there."
"She's just sort of there."
Andromeda hasn't significantly interacted with Cecily yet.
☯ Darren Andrews ☯
"He's a hunter, from what I can tell."
"He's a hunter, from what I can tell."
Andromeda hasn't interacted with Darren too much. They've been busy battling the demon that killed her father, after all. But from what she surmised, he's a hunter. And potentially dating one of the tenants at the hotel. Awkward, much?
☯ Daniyal Lohi ☯
"Not gonna lie, he looks a little creepy..."
"Not gonna lie, he looks a little creepy..."
Andromeda isn't sure what's going on with the kid. It might just be his vibe or the fact that he's a witch, but it unnerves her just a little bit. At least he's on their side, right?
☯ James Murphy ☯
"Who?"
"Who?"
Andromeda hasn't met James yet.
