Edelweiss Elf

She was born when the first Edelweiss cracked the late-winter crust on a high ridge. From that pale bloom she unfolded—slender as a reed, bright as a winter moon. Her wings were clear as ice crystals, fanned with faint facets that caught the sun and turned it gentle. Where those wings brushed the drifts, frost loosened and ran as a thin, nourishing spring. She wore the white of first snow like a mantle stitched with fern-veins of frost. Her eyes held glacier blue at their depths and a secret dawn at the edges, as if she kept sunrise folded inside.

She is a guardian of purity and resilience. Not the kind of purity that refuses to see the world, but the kind that chooses warmth after weathering cold; the kind that keeps its original intention steady when the wind tests every seam.
