Description
Andrew Rhodes is a central character in the anime, depicted as the older brother of the protagonist, Jackie Rhodes. He is a teenage boy with black eyes and brown hair that falls to ear-length. As the son of Arthur Rhodes, a wildlife conservation officer, Andrew has been raised in Kenya and shares his family's deep appreciation for the natural world. The Rhodes family is characterized by their dedication to protecting African wildlife and opposing poaching, a passion instilled in both children from a young age.
In terms of personality, Andrew provides a contrast to his younger sister. While Jackie is portrayed as a bold and stubborn tomboy, Andrew is more sensitive and easily frightened, often reacting to tense or dangerous situations with visible fear. He is not naturally suited to high-adrenaline or confrontational scenarios, which sets him apart from the more adventurous Jackie.
Andrew's primary motivation is his admiration for his father. He dreams of following in Arthur's footsteps to become a Wildlife Conservation Officer, a goal fueled by his hero-worship of his dad. This aspiration defines a significant part of his identity at the start of the story. However, his character undergoes notable development as the narrative progresses. After meeting a character named Hannah, a veterinarian, Andrew begins to reconsider his career path. He realizes that the life of a conservation officer might not be the right fit for his temperament and instead develops a strong interest in veterinary medicine, finding a different way to work with and care for animals.
Within the story, Andrew acts as a supportive member of the Rhodes family unit. He joins his father and sister in their various adventures and animal rescue missions, including the discovery of the orphaned bushbaby, Murphy, whom they find and bring home. His relationships are centered on his family: he is the elder brother to Jackie and a devoted son to Arthur and his mother, Penny. His relationship with his mother is also significant, as she desires for him to attend a prestigious school in England, representing a different future for him. While not as prominently featured as Jackie's bond with the bushbaby, Andrew is involved in the family's collective care for the animals they encounter. One notable detail is that he owns a pet chameleon named Ben.
While Andrew does not possess any extraordinary or superhuman abilities, his notable skills include his knowledge of wildlife and conservation, learned from his father. His key development lies in his emotional growth and the shift in his professional aspirations from a field officer to a veterinarian, demonstrating a more mature understanding of his own strengths and interests.
