Personal Style: When she was alive, Andromeda always dressed for comfort. She was her own boss, so she never developed distinct styles for work and for personal time. On some days, comfort meant a hoodie, shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Maybe she'd wear a locket and put on one or two pairs of earrings, but never nothing much more than that.
Of course, sometimes comfort meant that she swapped out the hoodie for a trench coat, the shirt for a nice blouse, and the sneakers for some boots. It all really depended on her mood, as well as what exactly she was doing that day. If she was heading to the airport for her latest trip, she'd dress a bit differently than if she was giving tours at the museum. But no matter what, it was rare to see her hair up. And god forbid anyone commented negatively on its unusual shade.

Sexuality: Demisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: In life, she was never lazy or ignorant. She has always had fantastic resiliency and motivation, giving her a drive that allowed her to accomplish anything she put her mind to. With her dedication and hard work, hardly anything was impossible. Even in death, this hasn't changed. Her highly driven nature ultimately caused strain in personal relationships, as she lost friends just as quickly as she made them. Apologies do not come easy to her in the slightest. And of course, this drive also indirectly led to her death.
Beyond this, Andromeda is also rather witty. She sees what other people do not, especially things that they elect to ignore. The more strange and bizarre something is, the more it fascinates and perplexes her. She's always looking for the next strange occurrence, the next mystery, the next discovery, the next oddity. Hypocritically, she judges harshly those who do not keep that same open minded attitude. In her opinion, fact is
always stranger than fiction.
For those she loves and cares for, Andromeda is a strong ally. Her strong moral compass pushes her to either defend or avenge her loved ones, with her resourceful nature aiding her to that end.
Habits:
- Biting her nails
- Straightening photo frames
Hobbies:- Surfing Wikipedia
- Ice Skating
- Traveling
- Collecting photographs and records of the bizarre
Religion: In life, Andromeda could best be classified as agnostic. Her mother was an astronomer and fiercely opinionated atheist and her father was a practicing wiccan. Her half-brother released Lucifer from hell and started the apocalypse, leaving Andromeda to conclude that there are some beings in the universe with extraordinary strength - but are they higher powers? That she does not know.

How did your character die?: Andromeda's father had died under suspicious circumstances, with the police pinning it on a young girl from the traveling circus, Cirque Anomaly. With her experiences traveling abroad and the apocalyptic events that had happened half a year ago across the country, Andromeda was convinced that her father wasn't killed by anything human. She hired a private investigator to look into the matter. After an unsuccessful attempt on Andromeda's life, followed by an unknown sniper killing the P.I., she made her way with a gang of misfits to Cirque Anomaly.
The plan was to use the young girl as bait, in order to lure the demon Andromeda believed murdered her father into a trap. While they succeeded in avenging her father, unbeknownst to them, the demon wasn't working alone. He had managed to damage the fabric of reality, and as Time attempted to heal itself, it needed an energy source to accomplish that...
...Andromeda was that energy source. Needless to say, one small human doesn't last very long as a glorified battery.
What Brought You Here: There are two, no,
three answers, though each of them come with varying degrees of truth.
1) While her father was avenged, that did not mean he received justice. The demon, Mephistopheles, who killed him was slain but that means little to the dead. Once someone's life is over, that's (usually) it. They're just a memory. Andromeda wishes to give her father justice by preserving his memory. It keeps her from moving on, from seeing what the next adventure is after limbo.
2) Her half-brother, Walter, is in grave danger. Andromeda died before she could learn what happened to her brother - that he was gunned down just one town over shortly before she herself died. To her, he's still out there, alone in the world, with a warrant out for his arrest. If they arrest him, he'll be executed. Period. He tried to end the world - but family is family. He fought back against the devil in the end. That's all that matters to her.
Yet this final reason is perhaps the real one:
3) More than anything else, she wants more time to experience everything the world has to offer. While she had spent her twenties traveling the world and seeking out the peculiar, it wasn't enough. Her curiosity wasn't satisfied. There's still so much out there that she has never seen before, so much to explore and to discover... Twenty nine years wasn't enough time to even
attempt to understand the mysteries that govern the world.
Does your character want peace: Maybe one day she'll want peace, but for now, Andromeda could do without it. It's a nice concept, but her intellectual drive doesn't allow her to wish for it. There's so much for her to learn and discover that the idea of peace seems almost...dull. She has a chance to look behind the curtain and understand more of how the world works. Why trade such a rare opportunity for peace? It'd be a waste of an experience that not everyone gets to have when they die. She wants to experience everything she possibly can - peace can wait.
