Jonah is kind, reserved, calm and laid-back. Jonah never wants to hurt anyone’s feelings and often goes along with what other people want.

At his best, Jonah gains more of a identity and starts doing things that he likes, rather than what he thinks people want him to.

At his worst, Jonah can sometimes omit the truth and pretend things aren’t problems. For example, when he is hanging out with 

Jonah is not very good at expressing his feelings which can be a problem for 9s. This is a problem in his relationship with Andi, as Andi doesn’t know where they stand and he doesn’t really explain his view. However, he tries to be understanding and once he realises this, he tries a grand gesture by writing her a song. 

Jonah is also very scared of being different and being embarrassed which we see on many different occasions. For example, when he starts having his panic attacks, he is ashamed and doesn’t want any of his friends to look at him differently. Jonah also gets really upset at Andi when he falls at the virtual reality place and she laughs at him. However, in that instance, he doesn’t directly say anything and pretends like he is not angry/upset, which is something unhealthy 9s can do. 

Jonah is a very nice, accepting and happy person. Initially, Cyrus, Andi and Buffy all think he would be hard to approach, but after knowing him they realise that he is nice to almost everyone. In particular, Cyrus often comments on how Jonah is very different than he expected. 

Jonah has a wing 1 as he is much more reserved and quiet than a 9w8.

Some quotes to describe Jonah’s motivations

“I don’t like labels”

“Cool! I haven’t had s’more in a while, so I guess I’ve been having s’less”

Buffy: “You know what you never say anymore? Docious magocious.”
Jonah: “I feel like I kind of grew out of it”
Buffy:“That’s too bad. I liked it.”
Jonah: “Really? You always made fun of it.”
Buffy: “That’s why I liked it.”

Andi is creative, idealistic, insecure and kind. Andi changes a lot through the series and is always trying to find herself after she finds out that her sister is actually her mother.

At her best, Andi becomes more assertive and starts understanding her own needs. She grows into her talents and becomes less insecure in her relationships and herself. We can see this at the end of the series with her happiness about going to art school after she hesitated so much and wanted to make everyone around her happy she realises it is also what she wants. Andi also has a tendency to want to help others and she shows her caring nature when she befriends Amber despite all of the issues they had earlier.

At her worst, Andi becomes a little self-absorbed in s3 because she feels overwhelmed. At times, Andi seems to be in her own bubble and doesn’t think about her friends or families feelings. She has a tendency to try and meddle and if things don’t go the way she wanted them to she will become upset and angsty. This is seen with the way she feels about Bex saying no to Bowie’s proposal.

Andi has a very creative side and loves sharing her art and gift with her friends and family. She loves making bracelets out of anything and when she gives one to Jonah it becomes a symbol of their relationship. The Andi Shack is her safe haven and whenever she is upset or hurt she finds peace by spending time here. At the end of the series as she has grown up she turns the shack into a studio to support her art and the work she will be doing at the Arts high school.

Andi has a tendency to be indecisive and send mixed messages. She starts the series off with a crush on Jonah, and she spends all of her time trying to befriend him and get closer to him by playing ultimate frisbee. However, after he breaks up with Amber and starts to spend more time with Andi, she becomes insecure in the relationship. She starts to push Jonah away and doesn’t want to commit to him as she feels like he took her for granted. When Walker shows her some attention she really enjoys it and becomes unsure if she wants to be with Walker or Jonah. Ultimately, she realises she doesn’t want to be with Walker but she still acts jealous and starts avoiding the group when Buffy becomes interested in him and despite saying everything is fine.

Andi has a wing 3 as she is more people-oriented and outgoing than a 2w1.

Some quotes to describe Andi’s motivations

“I’m the secret baby! Bex is my mother! And my mother is my grandmother and Amber… is wearing my bracelet!”

“Two moms, one house, and they agree zero percent of the time.”

“Why is it so hard to stop liking someone…when there is a zero percent chance he’ll ever like you back?”

“By the way Amber alerts are for kidnapped children.”
