Edward likes to have attention and always tries to be popular, especially with the girls, but according to Jasmine and Lucas, the only girl who ever liked him was Rumiko and she was actually only using him. He often takes things literally, because Chameleons are not much of using expressions or metaphors.

Jasmine and Lucas know Ed and are not even more impressed when he does something stupid or makes some silly mistake. He is always joking with Lucas about he (Lucas) and Jasmine being a beautiful couple.

"Did you give your own life to save me, buddy? You deserve to be remembered as a great hero..."

He and Rouge are great friends and they're always doing all together. He is willing to do everything to protect his mate and the dragon would also do the same for him.

That was the only reason he went to Earth. Even if he had delivered Rouge to Akiko in a good way, he had not actually delivered it and only did it because he wanted a place to stay, which would be Akiko's house.

Given name and surname
Edward: Means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead "wealth, fortune" and weard "guard". This was the name of several Anglo-Saxon kings, the last being Saint Edward the Confessor shortly before the Norman conquest in the 11th century. He was known as a just ruler, and because of his popularity his name remained in use after the conquest when most other Old English names were replaced by Norman ones. The 13th-century Plantagenet king Henry III named his son and successor after the saint, and seven subsequent kings of England were also named Edward. This is one of the few Old English names to be used throughout Europe (in various spellings).

Christopher: From the Late Greek name Χριστοφορος (Christophoros) meaning "bearing christ", derived from Χριστος (Christos) combined with φερω (phero) "to bear, to carry". Early Christians used it as a metaphorical name, expressing that they carried Christ in their hearts. In the Middle Ages, literal interpretations of the name's etymology led to legends about a Saint Christopher who carried the young Jesus across a river. He has come to be regarded as the patron saint of travellers. As an English given name, Christopher has been in general use since the 15th century. In Denmark it was borne by three kings (their names are usually spelled Christoffer), including the 15th-century Christopher of Bavaria who also ruled Norway and Sweden.

Nicknames
Ed Chris: The nickname that Smoky gave him is the abbreviated form of his name.

Captain Milk: A super-mega-hyper-cute nickname given by Smoky due to the fact that Edward adores milk. She usually uses Japanese pronunciation (Kyaputen Miruku, キャプテンミルク) because she thinks she sounds cutest than Capitão Milk.
