Andrea Davenport is a recurring character, who appears in theDisney Channel animated seriesThe Ghost and Molly McGee. Her family owns a department store chain called Davenport's, however the store in Brighton was shut down by Bizmart in "Davenport's in Demise". However, in the scripts for a cancelled Season 3, it was revealed that the Davenport's are wealthy enough to own at least five homes, and actually made money from losing the store by making it a tax write off.
Andrea is a top student atMolly's school, who is highly respected among her teachers and fellow students. She is very egotistical, and somewhat snotty and crude, but still remotely nice when it comes to newcomers. She despises anyone who mispronounces her name ("Ann-drea" instead of "Ahn-drea"), even if it is accidental, to the point of having the offenders mistreated and outcast. Most of the school appears to be afraid of her, even the teachers.
She takes immense pride in her family's department store business and always seizes any chance to boastfully promote it through social media, filming and even in the school's talent show.
Nonetheless, it is later revealed in "The Don't-Gooder" that Andrea is deep down extremely lonely, due to her father prioritizing money above her emotional needs and subsequently neglecting her. She, in fact, can be quite happy when he gives her the attention she needs.
In "Home is Where the Haunt Is", she can be very sympathetic as well, such as convincing the rest of Brighton citizens to donate their money to rent the house back to the McGees.
Physical appearance[]
Andrea is a young, fair-skinned girl of medium height with waist-length, dyed light blue hair, fades to periwinkle and has one blue streak, light brown eyes, and brown eyebrows. She wears purple eyeshadow and has freckles under her eyes. Her attire consists of a bright pink hoodie with white strings, a purple skirt held with a pink belt, maroon leggings, and white whine-heeled boots with slate gray soles.
Andrea's surname is taken from Davenport,Iowa, which is where producer Britta Reitman grew up.[1]
Early art development indicated that Andrea would wear green and have blonde hair. Her appearance implied that she was more of a stern and snooty student body type of character, before becoming an influencer. In the original pitch pilot, she was much more vocal towards belittling and criticizing Molly.
The pitch pilot for the series, which was an earlier version of "The (Un)natural", portrayed Andrea as being more antagonistic. In the final episode, her role is taken over by Tammy Myers, whose design is slightly based on Andrea's earlier one.
Despite seeing him twice and being aware of the existence of ghosts, Andrea was never properly introduced to Scratch before the end of the show. It's possible that she was supposed to learn aboutScratch during the scrapped Season 3.
Andrea is revealed to be LGBTQ+ in "Davenport's in Demise", which shows her having a crush on a girl named Alina Webster.
This was hinted in theChibi Tiny Tale short "Scratch, Molly's Third Wheel", where she was seen on a movie date with a girl.
After "Davenport's in Demise" aired, the episode's writer, Sammie Crowley, explained that "queer" was the label that Andrea would use for her sexuality, since, in addition to being attracted to girls, Andrea "might be into guys or other genders, too. She's young and figuring it out".[2]
Had the series continued for another season, an episode titled "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Bot", would have focused on Andrea's relationship with Alina.[3]
Then later,Bill Motz confirmed that she is bisexual.[4]
Despite the fact that both Libby and Molly experienced shunning by Andrea and her classmates, Andrea is never actually heard to make any negative remark with anything but her tone.
It is revealed in "Davenport's on Demand" that Andrea is possibly disconnected with reality, however when it is revealed that others are suffering, she is quick to try and remedy the situation.
It is notable that Andrea is only explicitly a mean girl in her debut episode most likely because they crew decided to add more to her character because they found her boring.
Andrea got her first period three months prior to the events of "A Period Piece".
