Description
Anthony Brown André is a central character who serves as the first great love of the protagonist, Candy. He is a young boy, born on September 30, 1897, who belongs to the wealthy and influential Andrew family. Anthony is the only child of a distinguished French naval officer, Vicent Brown, and Rosemary Ardley. After his mother passed away when he was very young, his father, unable to cope with the loss, left Anthony in the care of his maternal great-aunt, Mrs. Elroy.
In terms of personality, Anthony is initially presented as an energetic and mischievous child who often led his cousins in their pranks, always managing to avoid trouble. However, the early death of his mother left a deep emotional void in him. By the age of fourteen, he has become remarkably mature for his age. Despite growing up surrounded by luxury, he is never prejudiced and possesses a strong, firm temperament alongside a very kind and gentle heart. He is a passionate individual who lives life intensely, with a deep love for nature, including animals and flowers, a passion he inherited from his mother. He finds solace in cultivating roses, which he does to honor her memory, and this hobby becomes a central part of his identity. Anthony is described as chivalrous, sensitive, just, and somewhat solitary before meeting Candy.
Anthony's primary motivation stems from the loneliness caused by his mother's death and his father's subsequent absence. He seeks a genuine emotional connection to fill this void. His world changes dramatically when he meets Candy by chance in the rose garden he created. Her infectious laughter and vibrant spirit captivate him, and he falls deeply in love with her. Through his relationship with Candy, Anthony discovers new qualities within himself, learns the value of independence, and finds the courage to stand up for his convictions, even rebelling against his great-aunt's authority. His love for Candy motivates him to take significant action, such as writing a letter to the head of the Ardley family to request her adoption, which ultimately brings her into his household.
In the story, Anthony plays the crucial role of Candy's first romantic interest, often mistaken for the mysterious "Prince of the Hill" from her childhood due to their striking resemblance. He acts as her protector and champion, defending her against the mistreatment of other family members. His relationship with Candy is the emotional core of the early narrative, representing an innocent and tender first love that helps both characters mature. Key relationships include his close ties with his cousins, Archibald and Alistair Cornwell, under the strict watch of their great-aunt Elroy. He is also related to Albert Ardley, who is his maternal uncle, explaining the strong physical resemblance between them.
Anthony's development is marked by his transition from a lonely, motherless boy to a more independent and decisive young man, largely inspired by Candy's influence. He learns to challenge social expectations and familial control, declaring his desire to separate from the family's authority to live his own life. Tragically, his story arc ends abruptly with his death. On November 28, 1912, during a fox hunt intended to celebrate Candy's adoption, Anthony's horse falls into a trap, causing him to fall and fatally strike his head. His notable abilities include his skill in horseback riding and his dedicated knowledge of rose cultivation, even naming his most beautiful rose after Candy.
