Alternative Name Origin?

Currently the name origin listed is that Eldegoss is Elder+Gossypium which is very possible, but I know that my first thought was Elder+Gossamer. The word "gossamer" refers to a substance that is very light and delicate, such as flower petals or a seeding dandelion. Perhaps the name is taking inspiration from both of these things?

And what about "edelweiss"? (Link to Wikipedia article[1]) It is an european flower, and it has a "furry" coat, and the name resemblance is way too great. I believe it had something to do along the Elder+Gossypium possibility and the "gossamer" possibility by (ExecutiveElf) --Godshawk (talk) 17:41, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Ermine Cloak Inspiration?

i recently noticed eldegoss' hair looked much like the cloaks of white ermine fur with black spots. on eldegoss, the black spots are represented by the cotton seeds. i was wondering if anybody got that idea as well. RunOnGasoline (talk) 19:56, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Could it be based on this too?
