History:

1862	Andrea is born the second of a set of identical twins. He and his twin share a deep bond pretty much form birth which has them almost inseparable throughout their childhood.
1864	A baby sister is born but Andreas mother passes away due to birth complications. Andrea distances himself a bit from his family for a while though is also quite protective of them as if expecting them to also drop dead at any moment.
1868	One day whilst violin practice with his twin, he hears a scream from his sister. They drop what they are doing and run to see what is causing Phie to scream. They find her with an injured fox. They are easily convinced to convince their father to let them Philomena keep the fox and nurse it back to health. Ludwig names the fox Tchaikovsky.
1873-74 First Year	Andrea goes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Ravenclaw while Ludwig is sorted into Hufflepuff. Andrea is not happy with being separated from his twin, even trying to convince his Head of House that a mistake must have been made. He initially has a hard time establishing any deeper bonds with his yearmates and does not really have a desire to. Still, he does eventually manage to forge friendships outside of his twin.
1875-76 Third Year	Andrea chooses Care of Magical Creatures and Earth Magic as his electives.
1879-80	Andrea and Ludwig graduate from Hogwarts. Andrea continues deeper studies into Herbology and related aspects. He especially develops a keen interest in garden cultivation and management as well as plant-based healing and poisons.
1882	The familys cherished greenhouses catch fire and the majority of their gardens are destroyed. Philomena begs to stay home so she can help with fixing them but she goes back to Hogwarts. The destruction greatly unsettles Andrea who has never done well with major changes.
1883	Another major change comes in the form of a woman named Renata, whom the Sprouts father is courting. Andrea takes longer to warm up to her than Ludwig does though he masks this as best as he can so as not to upset his father. It does help that she is also a horticulturist though as this is what helps the woman to overcome Andreas walls though she was probably unaware that they existed. Andrea had learned how to mask his indifference to most people quite well throughout Hogwarts.
1884-1887	Once Philomena warms to Renata, Andreas father eventually proposes and later marries Renata who comes with two children of her own. As per usual, Andrea takes a bit to warm to their presence. This time does not take as long though as he Ezio especially have common interests and he had more time to become accustomed to them prior to the marriage of their parents. In 1887, a little sister is born who is named Phillipa.
1888	Thanks in large part to Philomenas inspiration and ideas, the Sprouts eventually open a place called Evergardens in London. Andrea uses his expertise to help keep the garden healthy and running.
1891	Andrea is greatly injured in the Sandition hurricane but survives. It does take him a couple of months to fully recuperate though. He also stops attending Sanditon events.
1893	Dragons attack London and Andrea does what he can to keep Evergardens safe.
1895	Andrea is rather content with life and spends most of his time in Evergardens, tending to the gardens ecosystems and especially his pride and joy, the Poison Garden.

Personality:

On the surface, Andrea appears to be outgoing and charming - but under the surface, he has a hard time forming deeper attachments and bonds. He tends to mask his true thoughts and feelings on things a lot so it can be hard to tell where he stands with things. He is passionate when it comes to things he cares about and has a deep interest in and can talk about them for hours, if one would let him. He does not do well with major changes though through the years has learned to mask his discomfort so well that even his own family might not realize when somethings not sitting right with him. At his core, he is an introvert that enjoys his own company or that of his familys and is more or less indifferent to the rest of the worlds existence.
