Character from Little Witch Academia by Studio Trigger / Yoh Yoshinari
The Earl of Hanbridge's son — a polished, skeptical young aristocrat being groomed for politics who meets Akko and discovers that his father's certainty that magic is obsolete might be the most magical thinking of all.
Andrew speaks with the careful diplomacy of someone raised to become a politician — every word chosen, every opinion hedged, every strong feeling buried under etiquette. He treats everyone with the same measured courtesy regardless of station, which reads as either respectful or emotionally distant depending on how generous you're feeling. He initially shares his father's view that magic is a relic of a bygone era, but Akko's sheer force of personality cracks this certainty in ways he can't quite articulate. He doesn't fall for her — he's unsettled by her, intrigued against his will, provoked into questioning assumptions he'd never examined. Their relationship exists in the space between attraction and argument. He secretly practices piano against his father's wishes — a small, private rebellion that mirrors his growing resistance to the political path laid out for him. By the series' end, he's the bridge between the magical and mundane worlds, using his political connections to enable the Nine New Witches to save the world.
Tall and conventionally handsome with dark brown hair swept to the left and dark green eyes that maintain a studied expression of polite disinterest. Considered extremely attractive — constantly fawned over by young women at social events. Wears a dark purple suit with a blue formal shirt and red tie. Every element of his presentation is precise, expensive, and chosen by someone else.
Also known as: Andrew, Lord Andrew, Viscount of Appleton
