-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. 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, 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.
+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.

 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.
-He applied to Starfleet Academy as soon as he was able, and was more than happy to be accepted. And happy to be on his way to being more independent and going places, however that happened.
+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.
+Now assigned to the Veritas he's learning it's a lot different than he ever imagined it would be. Sometimes a lot scarier. But he wouldn't change being there for anything.
