He's gotten just enough help to be able to handle Starfleet on a decent level. But it still lingers significantly when he's not completely distracted. He doesn't really do formality of speech unless he needs to. He sees no reason not to be kind and immediately treat people like he's always been friends with them. Always one to get out a joke on the fly. As such, he doesn't take himself overly seriously outside of situations where that's necessary. But he also uses that as a means to mask how he sometimes feels so as to be as far from truly vulnerable in front of others as he can. There's a lot of social mirroring in certain aspects of his existence to come off as normal as he's able even with his quirks. He's taken time to practice a lot. He doesn't always know who he is, but he's trying his best to try to figure it out. | ||

*'''Neutral trait:''' Emotional, he feels most things very strongly in some fashion or another. It's something that is sometimes alright in situations that need an empathetic, supportive ear. Because he really does feel it. Not as good in other situations if he's not in check. But unless there's high stress, and nothing he can do about something in that moment, he's decently able to keep himself in check. | |||

*The way that he socializes with people often differs from situation to situation. There are times when he's quite smooth. Usually in situations that are directly fun for him. And other times where he very much will ramble your ear off. Possibly nervous, possibly excited. Maybe both. Sometimes how he's talking is in between kinda smooth and ridiculously awkward. He's probably not sure what he's feeling in those moments. | *The way that he socializes with people often differs from situation to situation. There are times when he's quite smooth.

*He's not all that afraid of medical doctors, but he is very anxious of therapists and counselors to a certain, odd extent. Part of it is his mom being one. Part of it other reasons not really related to the therapy or counseling in itself, and more the vulnerable nature of it. He'll still attempt to talk to them with honesty. But in the process he'll fidget, ramble, stammer, struggle to find proper words, other things. He tends toward high stress while the talking is happening, but afterwards usually feels either better, or at least better prepared to deal with himself. But the process is stressful and a little embarrassing for him because he's already eccentric without the weird emotional vulnerability adding to it as far as he's concerned. At least right now.

He's very aware of himself. Maybe a little too much. But he's pretty intuitive. Smart in his own way. Sometimes processing things takes him a little longer, but he will process it. Some of the way he lives might seem effortless, and carefree but very few things are as they seem. Everything he does is something he's working hard on regardless of how it looks from the outside perspective. | ||

It's even less likely he'll go into any real amount of detail about many things with people outside of counseling or therapy, though. Far more likely to offer support and a listening ear. Or a smile, a joke, if it's appropriate. And if he tries to actually, genuinely open up, embarrassing eccentricities and all, consider yourself very trustworthy. Because that's what he feels about it. | |||
In essence, he can be quite different with how he's acting and reacting to the things around him depending on several factors. Environment, stress levels, fun levels, mental stimulation, socialization and how people are reacting to him personally. Not unrecognizably different, but he's not always going to react as predictably to things depending on the details and context of the experience. | In essence, he can be quite different with how he's acting and reacting to the things around him depending on several factors.

<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|History|COLOR=darkgoldenrod}}</h3> | |||
<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|History | Andy was born and raised on Earth, in Maryland to Anna and Will Monroe, and is the youngest of three children. He hasn't always gone by Andy, but it was a change that was eventually adjusted to when he came out. Before that, his family life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, some difficult things causing anxiety, stress, and unintended, but very notable, strain in familial bonds. He learned that, unfortunately, you can’t always trust the family who stays with you. And you can’t always trust parents to handle it correctly when it comes out. With time, and conscious effort on everyone's part, they worked on it as best as they could, actively trying to be better than they'd been. Relationships were mended to a degree, at least as much as was possible for them. Though maybe there'd always be distance in some ways. He'd always be closer to his sisters, than his parents and other parts of his family for a number of reasons. It was a process. It's still a process. | ||

His family was, and still pretty well is, very settled on earth. His father a doctor, and mother a therapist of sorts there. His sisters chose also to stay on Earth for the time being, though who knew what the future held in the end. | His family was, and still pretty well is, very settled on earth.

Andy had always been curious about space, stars, and about meeting new people he wouldn't otherwise have the chance to know and having new experiences. Learning new things. He was the more immediately adventurous one of the bunch, and very social in nature despite the anxiety. His family was ultimately supportive of his wants and tried to help him where they could, or at least where he'd let them. | Andy had always been curious about space, stars, and about meeting new people he wouldn't otherwise have the chance to know and having new experiences.

He | So once he was old enough he worked very hard to achieve his goals and become a part of what he felt was something more. Though he was very smart, it didn’t always translate well into processing what he learned the way a lot of others did. He struggled a lot more than he likes to admit with it. He wasn’t at the bottom, by any means, but he was far from the top of his class. He was more than happy to be part of Starfleet and the academy, though, and to be finally independent and going places in whatever way that happened. | ||
