Characters Name: Eduard Markgraf von Sekt nahe Braunschweig
Age: 17
Canon: Meine Liebe
Canon Point: Post anime s2
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: Oblivious bisexual, if he wasn't obliged to marry a woman/if he knew more about different sexualities.
History: link
Appearance: link & link
Personality: Eduard is a cheerful and bright young man who likes to take things easy. He is fairly clever, but is more street smart than books smart, unlike his friends. He is the type of person who can't mask his emotions very well, or at all, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. But he thinks that that's alright, because he doesn't care what other people think of him. He knows that perhaps he actually should care because he is an aristocrat, but he grew up as a normal town boy before he was taught how to be an aristocrat, since his mother was a woman from town that his father had an illict affair with. Still, Ed is casual and relaxed, and very easy-going. He's almost a little too relaxed sometimes, but his friendly nature makes it easy for him to get along with people and his antics can help others calm down and get into better moods. And he likes that, he enjoys helping people feel better, because he's a genuinely kind young man who is incredibly loyal toward those he holds dear.
He does, however, have a little bit of a temper. While he doesn't get as heated about politics as his best friend Orphe, for example, he is passionate and if he gets mad, he really gets mad. It mostly concerns people badmouthing or hurting those that he cares about (as mentioned before, he doesn't give a damn if he's the one who gets insulted) and he'll defend them both fiercly and loudly.
Still, he is a forgiving person, who can listen to reason. He is understanding and if he's inte the wrong, he'll apologize without protest. But about his forgiving side. It's very noticable that he is both forgiving and understanding when one considers his relationship with his stepmother. She hates him more than she hates anyone, because she was unable to give her husband an heir, and her husband brought in Ed as his heir. His stepmother has, on more than one occasion, tried to have Ed killed. For that, people would normally be angered. Ed, on the other hand, is sad, but understands why she is angry with him. He wishes that she wasn't, and deeply hopes that she will accept him one day, but he doesn't expect or ask for it. If she doesn't want to like him, that's alright. It's not her fault that hings turned out the way that they did. Sure, he is sad that she ordered her daughters not to speak to Ed or his younger sister, and that it essentially was because of his steepmother's hatred that his younger sister was sent away, but he doesn't hold grudges easily, not even for that.
Ed's biggest regret is, however, that he was separated from his sister. They promised to find each other again, but he has not yet succeeded in that matter. But he's stubborn and is refusing to give up, even if things sometimes feels hopeless. His sister means the world to him, and he is dead set on finding her again one day, no matter what.
He is multi-talented, and he, for example, is a very good piano player. He might play some songs that are less suitable to formal, rich-people places, though. Not that he can't play the classics, but he does love to play and sing the songs that his mother sang to him and his sister when they were children. That means that he playes them even at school, whish is a school mostly for the priviledged, rich people. But as usual, he doesn't care and playes whatever songs that he wants to play. Besides musically inclined, he is also athletic. He is a member of the equestrian club, and spends a lot of time with the horses. He even has a mare that he calls his girlfriend. He also doesn't mind doing hard work and helping out with taking care of the horses, which, due to his status as an aristocrat, makes people look down on him, since aristocrats are not expected to do labor work. But he can do other sports besides horseback riding, such as tennis, or, really, anything that he things it's interesting. And since he's a curious person, he wants to try all kinds of sports.
One of Ed's flaws is that he is romatically oblivious. He has a female friend called Augusta who also attends the academy, and who also is a member of the equestrian club. She also happens to be in love with him. But Ed, being completely blind to feelings like love when they're directed at him, notices nothing about that. To him, Augusta is just another very precious friend, not a girlfriend. Then there are other girls in school that fawn over him, and he doesn't notice their feelings either. It's definitely not out of cruelty, though, never. Ed is not a cruel person. He's just entirely oblivious to such things. He would never intentionally hurt anyone's feelings.
Ed is a Strahl candidate, bout out of those that has been chosen as potential advisors to the king, Ed doesn't want to be a Strahl. He thinks that the job wouldn't suit him. It's a stiff, serious job, after all, where you have to keep your attention focused, and that is the exacct opposite of what Ed is. He would much rather be an adventurer. Or have some other profession that lets him travel the world, because he wants to see it, and as much different places and culutes, and see as many different kinds of people as possible.
Unlike the other nobles that he's friends with, he doesn't shy away from using his fists in fights. He is a gentleman, although not brought up as one from the start, and should stick to using his sword. Which he is very skilled at using, by the way. But that doesn't mean that he won't use his fists when he deems it necessary. After all, unlike his friends, he doesn't care about appearances or keeping a proper reputation. Which is good because he also lacks any kind of grace.
Abilities:
- Athletic: He's a great athlete, excellent at many sports, as well as a quick learner when it comes to physical activity.
- Swordsmanship & hand-to-hand; he's an excellent sword fighter, but unlike the other gentlemen he hangs with, he doesn't hesitate to use his fists during a sword fight.
- Horses: he's great at riding them, as well as handling and taking care of them.
- Music: he's great at playing the piano, as well as singing.
- Parkour: Except the wouldn't call it that where/when he's from. But he's still surprisingly good at it for a nobleman.

First Person: link, link, link
Third Person: Eduard wasn't the most graceful person in existance, and he was definitely not the most graceful among the Strahl candindates (that title could be held by any of his other friends, though, since they were all pretty much grace itself) what with how he could trip over his own feet or fall from benches when trying to pull off that sitting position Naoji meditates in, or... any other thing that he ends up looking like an idiot doing. But that was perfectly fine, Ed wasn't picky, he didn't mind lacking grace, even when it made people laugh at him. He would just laugh with them instead of getting upset, though a lot of people got thrown off and stopped laughing when that happened. But never mind, never mind.
It might be a little worse when he accidentally causes someone else to get dragged into his lack of grace, though.
He really didn't mean it, but he mistakenly tipped over when he was trying to get used to how the bikes here worked. They weren't much different from the bikes they had in 1935, but they were somewhat different and in the first place, Ed was more used to riding horses than riding bikes.
Not entirely able to extract himself from the bike completely painlessly, he winced a little as he managed to stand up, and offered the person he had knocked over a hand. "I'm really sorry, are you alright?" Because to him, it was much more important to make sure that the other party was alright before seeing what damage had been made to the bike, and to him.
