  • OC Concept ━ Edelweiss was put together through my love of ancient folklores, notable characters from older games, as well as past beloved literatures. Her concept stays with me since the beginning of my adolescent years. In this generation of advanced technology, I am thankful to finally be able to realize clearer visions of her through the help of talented content creators and artists out there

  • Reflection━ I often see myself in Edelweiss, needless to mention, she is infused with several traits parallel to that of my own. She and I are practically introverts who enjoys her own company and mostly keeps to herself

  • Who I am━ Hello! I go by Momo. I was born and raised from a country in SEA and migrated to the U.S. over a decade ago and I am currently in my twenties. Through our interactions, you will learn that I am a workaholic businesswoman in real life. Although mostly married to my job, I try to have a healthy work-life balance, as everyone out there should!

  • Social life━ In my free time, I love to hang out with my significant other, and play primarily FFXIV or a whole lot of other cozy games! I am a quiet person whom is fond of having smaller circle of friends, but am open to the idea of getting to know new peers

  • Hobbies━ I partake in many hobbies such as eating, listening to music, and sleeping; which is how I am slowing down! I fancy Japanese and Italian cuisines, adore songs with beautiful melodies and lyrics, but most importantly.. A sucker for hibernating...

  • Beliefs & aspiration━ I strongly believe in the rebirth of a new life after one's river of mortality runs dry. I believe in spirituality and the existence of higher powers; but that is not to say I do not believe in the arts of science. I still wish to fulfill my livelong dream of being a forensics linguist

  • Interaction━ I do not interact with minors nor those who sexualizes a(n) underaged person(s) or character(s). Negativity is far from being welcomed in my space. In addition, hostile and/or questionable behavior will also not grant you my friendship, much less my respect. I do not indulge in a lot of social interaction/gathering for personal reasons. Though I'm open to wcif DMs, I do expect basic courtesy

  • Admirations & disapprovals━ My admiration lies within considerate people, no matter however slight it is displayed. I look up to those capable of putting others first, but still understands how to set their own boundaries. I don't take kindly to individuals who take advantage of their peer's kindness

Her musical aptitude blossomed alongside her fondness, weaving a beautiful tapestry of skill and passion.With regards to magic, Edelweiss possess an aptitude of unmatched degree.

PROWESS.
butterfly effect. Blessed by her enigmatic guardian, Atropos, Edelweiss possesses a destiny-bending ability. She can manipulate the threads of fate and time, though to a limited extent. This power, a gift from a being shrouded in mystery, comes with an unknown cost.proteus. A rare convergence of a rising tide and a lunar eclipse triggers a remarkable metamorphosis within Edelweiss. This celestial event allows her to transform into her canis form, which grants her exceptional powers to traverse the dreamscape with ease.sage's gaze. With a focus of her will, she can compel others to reveal their deepest truths; a power particularly potent when suspicion clouds her judgment. However, this ability comes at a terrible cost. Extended and frequent use strains her very essence, and inflicts ocular trauma upon her eyes.

Consumed by the pressure to continue his lineage, the Lord of House Atreides, Elias, delved into the forbidden art of creation magick. Driven by a desperate quest to perpetuate his legacy, he sculpted what he believed to be the pinnacle of human potential; all while transgressing every ethical boundary.He harvested parts, meticulously sculpting them into nature-defying forms. Then, with a forbidden breath, he gifted them life.Playing God, if you will.Countless lives were sacrificed in his ruthless pursuit of genetic perfection. Edelweiss' brilliance is undeniable, yet the true cost of her existence remains veiled in mystery.This dark endeavor comes to be known as Project Marionette. Within Lord Atreides' inner circle, the deed is known only to the researchers who toiled away in forbidden laboratories, and mages who twisted arcane energies to his will.As far back as Edelweiss can remember, not one of her extended family shared the striking features that marked her appearance. Her two sisters, however, did bore the unmistakable mark of their controversial origins.Confined within the opulent walls of their Ishgardian estate, her life resembled a gilded cage. Her world remained frustratingly small, as her outings necessitated Elias' intervention – a subtle weave of transformation magick to conceal her truth.

Elias' sudden death, however, shattered the fragile normalcy of Edelweiss' existence. Without his magick to mask her appearance, venturing into Ishgardian society was no longer an option. The once-adoring world now mirrored the bitter prejudice festering within. Facing expulsion, she grappled with the chilling uncertainty of a future ripped from her grasp.The weight of truth shattered Edelweiss' sheltered existence. A torrent of emotions, a mix of denial and existential dread, threatened to consume her. A silent war of self-acceptance emerged from within, etching its mark on her psyche.Despairing, Edelweiss teetered on mortality's edge.In a rare intervention, the Goddess of Fate, Atropos, pulled Edelweiss back from the abyss. The unexpected act that defied natural order awoken a dormant catalyst.Edelweiss' soul corroded from the ever-growing conscience that her life bloomed from the ashes of others. The cursed knowledge would forever be a part of her.. Albeit with a life built on sacrifice, a path to redemption arose.Was it atonement for the sins of her creation, or a flicker of hope for a life beyond suffering? The answer remained cloaked in mystery, but the power pulsed within her flourished as a beacon in the darkness.

edelweiss's beauty is both captivating and unsettling. ram-like ears droop from her head, framed by hair that carries the signature atreides shade. spiraling granite horns inlaid with mana-infused sapphire emerges from her intricately carved skull. delicate gold filigree adorns the base of her horns, a touch of regality intertwined with a subtle hint of protection. her body, a vessel of ivory marble, is intricately decorated with motifs of baroque porcelain, with gold alloy filling the sectioned gaps. a curious anomaly – she bleeds liquid gold when wounded.
