Andrew Hanbridge (アンドリュー・ハンブリッジ, Andoryū Hanburijji) is a supporting character in the anime series Little Witch Academia.
Andrew is the son of Earl Paul Hanbridge and Viscount. Despite his lavish upbringing owing to their family's status in Great Britain's government, he was initially not comfortable with his current life and initially agreed with his father regarding the bleak future of magic community. His fateful encounter with Akko during a visit to Luna Nova and their subsequent interactions however, significantly improved his outlook of life and opinion about magic community and even learned to stand up for his own ideals. In addition of supporting Akko and co. who fought against a great threat Croix Meridies inadvertently released to the world, Andrew inspired the young witch to carve her own path to achieve her dreams instead of through living in Shiny Chariot's shadow.
He is voiced by Ryōsuke Kanemoto in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Lucien Dodge in the English version of the anime.
Appearance
Andrew Hanbridge has dark green eyes and brown hair and typically has an uninterested expression on his face. He usually wears a black suit with a blue formal shirt and a red tie. Most of the characters find him very attractive, as he is often seen being fawned over by young women, especially the students in Luna Nova Magical Academy.
Personality
A quite reserved and indifferent educated young boy who also compassionate and kind at times, Andrew treats everyone with etiquette and manners. He has much respect for his father, and as such agrees with the belief that magic is an obsolete practice that is destined to be forgotten. Unlike his father, however, Andrew seems to have a more positive view of witches who still practice magic, admiring their passion and determination, something which evident following his recurring interactions with Atsuko "Akko" Kagari. Other than being a bit more rebellious (he discreetly practicing piano in spite of his father forbidding it so he can better focus on his studies to become the next Earl), the same interactions allows him to realize that he doesn't have to agree with every single thing his father does and thus beginning to express his own ideas and beliefs, effectively becoming a voice of reason during Noir Rod incident who wins the Prime Minister's respect.
Abilities
- Skilled Acrobat: Andrew displayed remarkable acrobatic skill which allows him to gracefully and simultaneously evade Arcas' attack and simultaneously jump over the polar-bear like creature, using its snout as sort of stepping stone in doing so.
- Skilled Pianist: Although Paul told him to cast aside his passion as a pianist as it will prevent him from becoming the next Earl at its fullest, Andrew revealed to retain his skill with piano and still good in it.
