When he was a pup, Edelweiss was purchased by a handler intending to send the beautifully pure tundra into the show ring. He was trained throughly as a show Tokota, his life revolving around the ring, just for his career to be cut short by a rival Tokota who fiercely bit his face, scarring it just enough to reject him from the ring for good. Wes was immediately put up for sale, as his handler couldn't afford to keep a Tokota that could not be shown.

His upbringing has made Edelweiss a serious and somewhat vain Tokota. Even when doing messy tasks such as hunting, he does it with a showy flair and a unique grace all his own. During his off time, he usually prefers to stay in the company as female Tokotas, as they tend to be less rambuncious in his eyes. He is friendly but difficult to read, as he doesn't reveal much about himself in most circumstances.
