Andre is her more mature and perfection-loving side, while Blythe represents her childish and carefree side. She explained that not having a normal childhood is the reason she has a double personality.
I also had a double personality because I had a Blythe side (and) I had an artist (as Andrea) side - When I brought out my Blythe, people would go crazy; they would be amazed.
