Talk:Libishomen

Why Stephenie screw up here
First of all, Stephenie made Bella and Edward spend their honeymoon in Rio. Which is great, as Rio is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

However, according to the latest Brazilian census, there is no Mapuche people living anywhere in Brazil.

OK, even if we give her this much (after all it's a work of fiction and she may write whatever she wants in her world), [Libishomen] is not even a word. Either in Portuguese (spoken by Brazilian people) nor in any pre-Colombian natives that live in Brazil.

The closest Portuguese word would be Lobisomen which means, literally, werewolf. A word that none of us would apply to Edward.

The only Brazilian legend that might (and it's a BIG might) apply to Edward would be an Amazonian legend about the Boto, in which a dolphin transforms itself in a handsome man to seduce and impregnate beautiful women.
