Before working at the Archives, Andrea worked as a firefighter. Her first brush with the entities was during a spate of arsons in the DC suburbs. She didn’t know it at the time, but a budding avatar of the Desolation was behind the fires. During her sweep through of the last house, she and a coworker were attacked by the fledgling avatar that had caused the fires. He severely injured Andrea’s coworker and left Andrea with severe burns to her arms and stomach after she fought to get the avatar off of her coworker. Several of Andrea’s coworkers intervened at this point and the avatar fled. Andrea resigned shortly after this, and she was approached by Fiona after her coworker gave his statement. A few weeks of job searching later and Andrea applied to the Foundation out of desperation for a job and to figure out what happened to her. She got sent to the Archives and started dating Fiona about six months later. They’re still together after five year and have lived together for three years.

Andrea, Fiona, Kade

Kade and Fiona are disaster that bonded over shared trauma via flesh hive at a young age. (20 and 24 respectively.) They’re in a queerplatonic relationship (QPR) and share one (1) brain cell. Fiona usually has it.

Occasionally, something will happen (typically Kade or Andrea becoming seriously sick or injured) and Fiona will absolutely lose their shit and drop the brain cell. When that happens, Kade will immediately catch the brain cell and use it to keep Fiona from committing murder, arson, or something equally serious. Andrea is always close at hand when these things happen. She’ll help Kade talk Fiona down as needed, but after nearly ten years of a very close relationship, he can usually handle the situation.

On an added note, Fiona and Kade are often mistaken for girlfriend and boyfriend. Fiona is a lesbian and Kade is aromantic. They are not and have never been romantic partners. Both of them and Andrea (Fiona’s actual girlfriend) think it’s hilarious and have an ongoing tally of how many times this has happened to them.

Kade’s and Andrea’s relationship started off a bit rocky, but they’re good friends now. They’re not in a QPR, but they have talked about the possibility and occasionally revisit the idea. Fiona is aware of this and supports their decision. Fiona and Andrea have lived together for about three years, and it’s not uncommon for Kade to show up at their place in the middle of the night to crash on their couch.
