(a) Three facts about them from my personal fanon.

1. Andromeda wasn't like Sirius. She hadn't given blood purity much thought before Ted Tonks started sniffing around her skirts. It was something her sister and parents spoke of while Andromeda nodded politely. It took Ted to make her reassess her views.

2. While Bellatrix is all fiery conviction, Andromeda has never been convinced of anything thoroughly in her life. She takes very little on faith. She wants to know why.

3. In the months while she waited for word from Ted, she saved every knut that passed her way and withdrew as much from the Black vaults as possible without looking suspicious. She figured that wouldn't be coming into any inheritance once her family knew of Ted and she didn't want to rely completely on Ted to support her.

(b) A reason he/she sucks.

She can be rather duplicitous. Andromeda has a habit of telling a person what they want to hear rather than what she actually thinks or tends to evade questions altogether. It keeps the peace, lets her think whatever she likes, and makes the other person more trusting for later use. With certain people, if a lie will make her life easier, she'll tell it and then do whatever she pleases. Like running off with a muggleborn with little to no warning.

(c) A reason he/she is amazing.

She didn't let herself be a pawn in pureblood society or let their rules control her life. She had the strength to walk away from almost everything she knew and start again with the person she loved.

(d) (Up to) Five things that I'd like to see happen to them.

1. I want her to reconnect with Narcissa . It's been years, the war is over and everyone just wants to live their lives. I think it's time for a reunion.

2. Maybe find someone to ease the pain of losing Ted a bit. She's still young for a witch.

3. Not succumb to the skunk hair like her sisters have.

4. To raise Teddy as well as she raised Dora.

(e) Five people that I can't ship that character with and why.

1. I know I've written them but Narcissa/Andromeda just has timing issues for me. If Narcissa is two years younger than Andromeda and they never saw each other again after Andromeda graduated (or so) then the most logical time to have a romance is when Andromeda is sixteen/seventeen and Narcissa is fourteen/fifteen which for Narcissa is just this side of too young for me. Plus that's about the time that Andromeda is being courted by Ted, screwing up my main Dromeda 'ship.

2. Lucius-I think he's too fussy for her tastes.

3.. Anyone not Ted, really.

I can totally see this. She's the middle child.

3. Not succumb to the skunk hair like her sisters have.

UGH. That's only in the movies.

2. Lucius-I think he's too fussy for her tastes.

*snickers* All of Cissa's sisters wonder what she saw in him XD

I like your take on Andromeda. She's quiet, but not because she's shy; more because it's her mask. With Bellatrix's ostentatious personality and Narcissa's looks, it makes it even easier to be unobtrusive. She's a Black and a Slytherin; she would have definitely used that to her advantage - and she did.

Who would you ship her with now that Ted's gone?

YES. Bellatrix and Narcissa were the best cover a girl could ask for. Andromeda just had to keep her head down and nod at the right time, never raising a fuss and that gave her more freedom to do whatever she pleased. She was the child her parents worried the least about so by the time anyone knew her actual plan, it was too late.

Who would you ship her with now that Ted's gone?

Could not even begin to guess. Would Andromeda/Kingsley be weird? *ponders*

[elle_blessing]

Dood. No Kingsley.

.. and as I think on it, I realize nearly everyone from an entire generation died. *sadface*

[fiery_flamingo]

Yeah, exactly. It'd have to be an OMC, I can't think of anyone her age that's alive, unattached, and not a Death Eater.
