Sexuality: Bisexual

Occupation: Colonel in the Paracletus Vir

Appearance:

Personality: Sarcastic, witty and occasionally rude, Andreia's tongue is as sharp as a blade and she is not afraid to use to rip those she disapproves of apart verbally. She's extremely strict and does not tolerate disobedience or treachery, seeing the two as the worst crimes on can commit as a member of the Paracletus Vir. She's extremely loyal and dedicated to the cause and views anything but as weakness or betrayal. She's protective of those she does trust however, and would do almost anything for those she cares about. She's a bit of a motherly figure, caring for those she's in charge of, making sure they're safe and secure but also not afraid to be harsh when required. And when she is required to be, she can be brutal. She will gives those she doesn't like an extremely hard time and will make sure they are aware of the fact she doesn't like them, and occassionally, if she feels sorry for them, the reason why. She is guided immensely by her conscience and her sense of what she sees as right and wrong, as well as her desire to further prove her beliefs and protect those she trusts. She can be surprisingly suave, tactful and charming, bordering even on persuasive at times, and uses this often to command blind loyalty and motivate those beneath her. However, she does like power and can argumentative and blunt, unwilling to co-operate with those who disagree with her and disliking those attempt to convince her to look outside of her very narrow view of the world. She sees things as a certain way and she likes them to stay that way. She doesn't like change, especially when it doesn't benefit her and the Paracletus Vir.
She doesn't have much of a self-preservation insinct and sees death only as opportunity to become a martyr for the cause, and hence has no problem with suicide mission. She's a poor strategist, often letting both her emotions and her beliefs get the better of her but she is an excellent tactician, being very good at thinking on her feet and improvising. She's also an impressive liar as a result, coming up with believable fibs quickly and easily. However, she is against lying, seeing it as being morally wrong and expecting all her troops to be honest with her. She sees deception and deceit as being comparable to disloyalty, some of the worst crimes in her book. She doesn't like liars at all.
Andreia is usually optimistic, but can occasionally swing to being extremely pessismistic and cynical, especially when all looks lost. However, she will not back down until she is dead or has one and will often force those beneath her to share that same bullheadedness. She is the type to keep pushing even when all hope is lost or when it's probably better not to. She's extremely driven and determined when she's set her mind on it and will never, ever give up on it. She wants something, she gets it, no matter what. She is however, tied to her twisted, unusual code of honour, and will not break it under any circumstances. She is like pure iron, strong and hard, difficult to break but upon doing so will shatter rather than bend. Her honour is never sacrificed for anything. She chooses duty above all else and is comparable to a religious zealot - she follows the Paracletus Vir blindly, without any thought for what it does.
She's not one for flings and instead prefers long romances, often spanning over multiple years. In fact, she doesn't really like anything happening quickly and likes things to move slowly. It gives her time to think and a few more moments to come up with something. It also allows her to relax and to not stress over a lack of time. She likes the tranquillity of slow-moving things, whether they be relationships, literate or anything else. It also allows her to establish trust, something she doesn't usually do. It's similar to her dislike of change. If everything's perfect, why change it? Unless, as the world is currently in her view, with their dependence on Automa units, needs to change, in order to help others who don't realise they're living a terrible life. She's compassionate, caring for others even if she doesn't trust them, and is often kind and generous to people she sees as important or that she cares for. She's a confusing sort to say the least, being both intelligent and far too dedicated to cause she hasn't thought about, caring and brutal, hating change but needing it. Contradictory is her middle name.

Strengths: She's loyal, quick-thing and a brilliant tactician. She's very good at coming up with things for the short term and a drive to get what she wants. She's usually optimistic and looks at the positive side of things. She is very good with her words, using them to both hurt and help. She doesn't trust many but is protective of those she does trust. She can be charming, suave and polite, bordering persuasive at times.

Weaknesses: She is blindly loyal to the Paracletus Vir and has too much faith in them. She can be argumentative, bull-headed and rude when she doesn't get her way. She would break rather than bend when it comes to pressure and her strict code of honour. She won't back down even if it would be better to do so. She's a poor strategist, with her emotions and beliefs often getting the better of her. She has a narrow view of the world and not much of a self-preservation instinct.

Backstory: Andreia was born into a family that never really liked androids. Her father lost his job as a result of androids replacing people in most labour and his slight dislike had increased to anger and distrust towards them, which the family shared. She lived also in a community of people, who, as a rule of thumb, weren't very fond of androids. Hence, her overwhelming hatred of them. She joined the Paracletus Vir as soon as she could, after finishing school. Her ambition had always been to join and she's one of the biggest supporters of attacking and destroying androids, believing them to be taking jobs from those he deserve them. Her heart is in the right place... ish... but her actions aren't exactly working.
