New Character of the Week post (finally!)
Character of the week!
Edward Elric
Anime: Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Action, Fantasy, Tragedy)
Bio: the titular and primary protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist series. After losing his right arm and left leg due to a failed Human Transmutation attempt, Ed became the youngest State Alchemist in history by achieving his certification at age twelve. Three years later, Ed has become fully engrossed in his search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an item with which he hopes to restore his younger brother Alphonse - whose whole body had been lost in the aftermath of that tragic experiment.
Fun Fact: He is very small for his age (4'11"), and despises people pointing it out, which is a running gag in the series.
Another running gag is his refusal to drink milk, which is probably directly related to his short height.
