why & wherefore

Edelweiss underwent production in mid-September of 2008 with the help of Adobe CS2, Notepad, Fullmetal Alchemist tanks and green tea overdose. It's experiencing serious identity crisis at the moment, but nothing major is expected to happen before its webmistress figures life out. Until then it will remain a small fanlisting with some extra content like pretty pictures and rants about FMA2. Stay tuned.

People say opposites attract and Ed is like that to me. He's got more than a handful of traits I'd love to have: optimistic, hardworking, ambitious—just to name a few. Although his childhood attempt to break the Forbidden had left his heart scarred forever, he's never given up walking forward. It's a wonder how his tiny—I see myself getting shot for this later—body can hold such a big heart. Well, there goes the genius of Hiromu Arakawa.

Edelweiss is a type of mountain flower originating from Europe. Its scientific name -- Leontopodium alpinum -- is translated as "lion's paw", derived from Greek words. Strong, persistent, brave... quite symbolic of Ed's character, don't you think?
