Among the varied impetus for picking up this series were to build up background knowledge for the coming of StrikerS, Stripey’s constant nagging and the possibility of yuri. As far as I can tell, this series about the adventures of Fate Testarosa as she tries to recover the Jewel Seeds on behalf of her mad mom (> FMA). Fate-chan is eventually redeemed by the love of the eponymous side-character-heroine of the series. Huzzah.
