Nicely summed up, anon. Missed the OP but that's pretty much exactly it, plus some extra shades of how it made Katniss a bit of a villain for not appreciating Peeta properly. Finnick is another character that fits Andy's style.

Andy has a handful of stock characters he just dresses up in a new outfit for each fandom (sometimes he combines them) Tortured sadboy woobie. Wholesome uneducated salt if the earth who bravely endures tragedy. Tormented artist who is a playboy that may also be bisexual. The one with the horrifying history of sexual abuse. The unexpectedly brilliant self taught cook. The amusing borderline racist caricature who's cultural misunderstandings hide what a fearsome warrior he is.
