Andy Rich had a normal childhood for a shy teenager, usually hiding in his "shell" away from social activities and his classmates. After the accident and his transformation to Cicada, Andy slowly became a different person, mostly due to his line of work involving cults, and seeing the cruel side of people; slowly becoming more self-centered, and a lot more distrustful of others. Cicada compares his life to a actual cicada's life; shedding his old shy life as Andy for his new distrustful life as Cicada, like how an adult cicada sheds his old shell, in a way trading one "shell" for another. He still suffers somewhat from his past shyness, which is doubled with his distrust of others: having a hard time talking or being around a female; hiding from others; or openly standing away from others

After the accident and his transformation to Cicada, Andy slowly gone from being more reserved and quiet to become more open and outspoken. He varies between being talkative when everyone is brooding or reverts to being more silent around louder crowds depending on the situation.
  
Cicada can also be called a hopeless romantic in a way; longing to have a wife to have children with. This dream of his is also fueled by the fact that cicadas are symbolically linked to birth and mating rituals, using this Cicada wants to be with someone who seeks out his "song" which is symbolized by how he lives his life. Cicada also suffers from abandonment issues resulting from; never speaking about his feelings with loved ones, never having friends for long, and generally being alone having to watch the world around him advance without him. Because of his abandonment issues and his general view on love, Cicada tries to have a distrustful and reserved attitude towards others.
+
In battle he tries to take out the stronger enemies or attract his opponents attention: believing it will somehow help his allies.
  
Not only does he use cicadas as a symbol for most things, he also sees as any type of relationship as a bridge: connecting two people to one another, once he determines someone "burned" their part of the "bridge", Cicada "burns" his side as well. He also sees; others life as flames of a candle; A loved one as a "foundation"; and a family or life as a "castle" for which the "foundation" is used to start.
 
  
With Cicada there is some reason for every little twist or turn. Cicada views every action he does, whether negative or not, as having some major effect or is a part of some big plan. In battle he tries to take out the stronger enemies or attract his opponents attention: believing it will somehow help his allies.
