A lot of these fanfictions explore the concept of power and how it's perceived differently for a female Edward. In the original, Edward's power as an alchemist was a big part of his character. As a female, she might face different challenges and opportunities when it comes to using her alchemical abilities. Also, there are often themes of acceptance. How does the world around her, which is used to a male Edward, accept this new version? And how does she deal with any potential discrimination or misunderstanding? This can lead to some really interesting character - development stories.
One common theme is identity. Since Edward is a male in the original, making him female in fanfiction often leads to exploring how this change affects his self - identity. Another theme is relationships. It could be how his relationships with other characters like Alphonse, Winry, or Roy Mustang are different because of the gender change. For example, a female Edward might have a different dynamic with Winry in terms of friendship or rivalry.
