Edward Elric - HD Wallpapers

Edowādo Erurikku is the titular protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist

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 Elric, whose whole body had been lost in the aftermath of the

human transmutation.

Edward is small for his age, standing at only 149 cm (4'11") at the beginning of the series, despite his attempts

to

appear taller, (due to the notation that he cannot stand regular milk). He wears his golden-blond hair long -

usually tied in a braid that hangs down to his shoulders, but sometimes forgoing the braid for a simpler ponytail.

He parts his bangs in the middle so that they frame his face on either side as they fall and, in the center of the

parting, he leaves a single strand of hair sticking up like an antenna. In Chapter 56, it is revealed that he does

this intentionally, presumably to add to his height. Ed's eyes, too, are gold, signifying his Xerxesian ancestry.

It is revealed in one of the Fullmetal Alchemist art books that the reason why Edward wears all black is to hide any

oil stains that he may obtain from his automail.

Early on in the manga, Ed receives a thin, horizontal battle scar just above his right eye, which remains because

his subsequent battles cause the sensitive skin to tear open repeatedly. As of Chapter 76, however, the scar appear

s to have healed over completely. As the series progresses, some of Edward's facial features (his nose and chin)

begin to take on characteristics similar to his father's. At the end of the series, Edward is shown to have grown

noticeably taller, being several inches taller than Winry and finally being at least equal in height to Alphonse.

Near the end of the 2003 anime series, it is revealed that the Earth has its own version of Edward Elric,

who is identical to that of the storyline save for having his hair and bangs cut short.
