'''Jeff''' ('''{{tt|ジェフ|Jefu}} | '''Jeff Andonuts''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ジェフ|Jefu}}''' ''Jeff''), is a boy from the town of [[Winters]], and is one of the main playable characters in [[EarthBound]]. Although he does not have the ability to use [[PSI]] like his fellow teammates, he is very intelligent. He uses his knowledge to repair [[broken items]], and use them in combat. His father is [[Dr. Andonuts]], well-known for being a brilliant scientist. Jeff also has the ability to [[Jeff#Spying|spy]] on enemies. | ||
==Biography== | |||
Jeff has blonde hair with freckles on his face. He wears a green coat and pants, with a black bowtie on his white shirt. He also wears white rectangular glasses and brown shoes. | |||
Jeff lives in the snowy {{wp|England}} inspired country of [[Winters]] in the [[Snow Wood Boarding House]] school. Jeff's personality is shown as being shy, clumsy and wreckless, and he also admitted he is nearsighted. He is, however, very smart individual, reflected by his high IQ stat. He is able to repair broken items into weapons or other useful goods throughout the night. Initally Jeff is seen as being very distant from his father Dr. Andonuts, who he hasen't seen in ten years, to the point where he wouldn't acknowledge him as his father. As the game progresses they begin to grow closer to each other, and in the ending Jeff says he would like to spend more time with Dr. Andonuts, who he finally acknowledges as his father. | |||
Much like Ness, Jeff originally was not intended to have an official age during development. His age is vaguely mentioned in the EarthBound Player's Guide and trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where it says he is the same age as Ness.<ref>"Winter is home to the son of a famous scientist. He is the same age as Ness, so they have a lot to talk about." -EarthBound Player's Guide</ref> However, due to Ness's age being inconsistant across regions (12 in Japanese guides, and 13 in the EarthBound Player's Guide), it is unclear how old he is exactly. | |||
His design is comparable to [[Lloyd]] from [[EarthBound Beginnings]], as they have a very similar design, though Lloyd instead has gray hair and wears a red t-shirt with black shorts, and his glasses are more circular. Interestingly, early concept artwork of Jeff shows him wearing a red t-shirt with brown shorts, and wearing round glasses, making him look more closely to Lloyd. | |||

Jeff has lived at the [[Snow Wood Boarding House]] ever since he was an infant. He is close friends with [[Maxwell]] and [[Tony]], who also live there. One night, he recieved a telepathic message from [[Paula]], telling him that he is the only one who can save them. Tony momentarily comes with him around the boarding house to help him break out, and Maxwell supplies him with the [[List of key items in EarthBound#bad key machine|bad key machine]].

After jumping over the boarding house's gate, Jeff picks up the [[Bubble Monkey]] from the local drugstore and begins to head south. When they reach Lake Tess, they encounter {{eb|Tessie}}, and ride on her to southern Winters. They then go through [[Brick Road]]'s [[Brick Road Maze|maze]], and pass through [[Rainy Circle]] as well. While Bubble Monkey leaves Jeff for a girl monkey, Jeff finds [[Dr. Andonuts|his father]]'s laboratory, and briefly reunites with him. He takes the [[Sky Runner]] to [[Threed]], crashes into [[Ness]] and [[Paula]]'s dungeon, and uses the bad key machine to help them break out. Jeff then accompanies them for the rest of the game. | |||
Later, in [[Fourside]], Jeff helps Ness in rescuing Paula from [[Geldegarde Monotoli|Mr. Monotoli]]. He also repairs the [[Sky Runner]] that crashed in [[Threed]] so they can fly to [[Summers]], along with the yellow submarine in [[Dungeon Man]] in order to get to [[Deep Darkness]]. | Later, in [[Fourside]], Jeff helps Ness in rescuing Paula from [[Geldegarde Monotoli|Mr. Monotoli]].

Jeff has the ability to '''Spy''' (Japanese:'''{{tt|チェック|Chekku}}''' ''[[Check]]'') on enemies, which lists their offense and defense, along with one of their [[PSI]] weaknesses. If there would be an [[Present|item]] dropped at the end of battle, Jeff will steal it from the enemy (if there are free inventory slots). | Jeff has the ability to '''Spy''' (Japanese:'''{{tt|チェック|Chekku}}''' ''[[Check]]'') on enemies, which lists their offense and defense, along with one of their [[PSI]] weaknesses.

Like the rest of the Chosen Four, Jeff makes a cameo appearence in ''Mother 3'' in the theater in [[New Pork City]]. The screen plays Porky Minch's favorite film showing Ness and his friends in a slide show showing various parts of ''EarthBound''. Jeff appears in four scenes: one in [[Winters]] where he and [[Bubble Monkey]] are about to ride [[Tessie]], in front of the [[Boogey Tent]] in [[Threed]], about to fight [[Master Belch]] with Ness and Paula, and where he and the others are with the meteor in [[Onett]]. | |||
