History:

'There once lived a pirate captain. He was cunning and daring and bold as the summer sky, but most of all, he was a charming rogue who loved a little too much, a little too often...' This is how many stories began when they were told to the unassuming and meek little hippogriff named after his mother's new favourite flower. He was so small and so very white, and she was a florist who knew her flowers, and knew the name would be a fitting tribute to her homeland of Germaney, and his father's line, though she never really told the griffin about his foal. She'd tell the little guy bedtime stories to calm him down.

 

'Feeling tied down by his noble birth, his first act as a captain was to steal his ship and fly her into the rising moon....' As he grew, the pegasi and griffin children alike would tease him for being a hybrid of the two races, for being an albino, for all manner of things, as children are wont to do, especially the griffon cubs. And whenever he came home, she would tell him the newest story of Tarisio's exploits from whatever newspaper she'd read them in.

 

'He was afraid of nopony, and nothing stopped him from finding and having those things he desired as his own' ...and so the tales went as Edelweiss grew. It was no surprise to his mother when he was the first colt to get his cutie mark, nor that it was related to his father's profession. What she did not expect was for him to go off on his own with no warning, prompting her to write the toughest letter she'd ever have to write.

Character Summary/Personality:

Although once timid and meek, a (relatively short) lifetime of stories has transformed Edelweiss into a rambunctious go-getter. He was flying nearly before he was walking, leading to no shortage of 'fun' for his mother Rosenkospe, who is fortunately a pegasus. He got the notion into his head 'somehow' that pirates were suave, debonair adventurers, who never let anything get them down. And he figured, since his daddy was a pirate, he'd just go try to find him and make HIM take the hippogriff on adventures.

 

Edelweiss is cocksure and headstrong, and often spends more time doing than thinking. As such, he hasn't really found much in the way of anything important, and instead is mostly just wandering Equestria, trying to find his father. That said, he doesn't have a dishonest feather in him, and is quite willing to work for his way, (granted, there's not all that much work he can do, given his age). Finally,  while one might think somepony who'd been teased as much as Edelweiss might be bitter or sensitive about it, the hippogriff is surprisingly proud of both his hybridism and albinism.
