The relation between the Ashfords and the Banks is well known from a business perspective. Andrea's family -- at least her mother's side, the Banks -- are well known in the real estate world and have often done business with the Ashford on various properties dealt through the Banks Real Estate Company, though the relation to Rachel and Andrea is less known. They attend the same college. Andrea joined the same sorority that Rachel is also a member of, so there's a sense of sisterhood there. Andrea wouldn't say she's especially close unlike some might, but she does like Rachel. "Who knows what might happen this summer?" A curious thought for another day. Bottom line, Drea is all in! a p p e a r a n c e . d e t a i l s. Don't let Andrea's 5'3 height fool you, she is every bit woman as anyone in her family or immediate circle of friends are. If anything, her small stature allows her feminine features to be on full display in every tasteful aspect they present themselves. Everywhere from two emerald stones for eyes that shine brighter than diamonds in the sky and bouncy curls of golden brown, Drea has a look that might make those who approach her doubt the sturdiness and legacy of her surname but bet that she packs a lot of punch into her small, if not compact and edging on curvaceous, frame. Her skin is slightly less pale than her mothers, which is to say that her mother has the negative element of being mostly English which accounts for her paleness. Drea is partially of eastern European descent is at least somewhat afforded the benefit of a less-harsh skin tone. From a fashion standpoint, she's always made it her mission to come prepared for all situations. Andrea has never, not even on accident, traveled without accounting for every single situation she can. In addition, though she believes women should be more than just looks and believes the concept of cat-calling to be atrocious, she isn't so far gone to believe that looking great while sticking it to sexist men can't be achieved. It's for this reason alone (and maybe others that may follow) that Drea ensures to look as good as she feels about herself. Her dress choices, heels, accessories, and makeup is all designer label. Only the best for Viola Banks' daughter, after all. u p b r i n g i n g. s y n p o s i s. Since the first day she could form thoughts in her head, Andrea Jacqueline Banks has always believed that a strong woman can do anything she sets her mind to. This came when she was just five years old. When little girls her age were thinking about which barbie doll she wanted and what flavor juice or what color dress they wanted, Little Drea was thinking about her future. Nobody in the family really understands exactly how it came to be, but they all soon learned that whenever she set her mind to something, she stuck to it like glue. And this became especially true the older she became. And the older Andrea Jacqueline became, the firmer her stance on female empowerment became. Growing up and becoming the young woman she is today, according to Drea, had everything to do with the female role models she had growing up. First and foremost, she had her mother have had the closest bond any mother and daughter could, especially when her parents split up just a couple of years ago. She has always admired her mother for her strength and heart. so it is no surprise that Andrea has always strived to embody that same confidence while drawing from the other role models in her life: her various aunts from both sides of her family, her grandmothers Riley and Eva, her cousins, and, of course, Madonna. Everyone she looked up as the years went on proved to be pivotal to her development in one way or another. And here she is, a grown woman and Drea is so much more than anyone might give her credit for. Her beliefs even stronger, her opinions about how a woman can do anything she sets her mind to are even fiercer than when she was five, and with a mouth that won't quit, she never lets up. She is a feminist at heart and now she is on the career path to possibly make a change eventually. She had the best role models growing up and now it's her turn. Her biggest goal in life will is to be like her mother, like her aunts, like her cousins were to her so she can be someone little girls can look up to. And if you dare talk down to her, be careful! You just might wind up eating those words. Ever since getting into college, Drea has focused most of her efforts in taking courses that spoke to her the most. Aside the required courses, she also doubled down for gender studies, history, political science because she wants to be a politican almost as soon as she possibly can, and, as a result, she also volunteers at women shelters and various programs that help empower young women. So safe to say Andrea is proactive in giving back when she can. whether or not this was the reason the daughter of one of her mother's clients extended an invite to go to some swanky island or there was another one, one thing Drea knew was Rachel Ashford was one of those people who she might just get along with. f a m i l y.
