The most notable of my characters' chocobos is probably Avenger - Chachan's chocobo. A little runt of a red-feathered bird even compared to most others, to the point that most folks consider the little guy not much more than a fledgling. He's oblivious, friendly, and loves to race. And all his racing with Chachan (usually with his mentor and riding instructor, Roen) has made the little guy pretty darn quick.
However, the thing about him being a fledgling? Turns out that was kinda accurate. Problem is that he was fledging draught chocobo. So when he hit his growth spurt while Chachan was busy being a shut-in with some of his smithing... it left the Lalafell kinda surprised when he went to go take the bird out for a run. Avenger's still oblivious, friendly, and keen to race... he just also happens to be larger than the birds Roegadyn use to ride. And doesn't seem to realize that fact.
(I'dve taken screenshots of the RP I've done with this "discovery" but I only have the default Draught instead of the Amber... so we've kinda been handwaving away his color. He's totally red, I swear!)
Meanwhile, his brother has Annelace, a white-feathered hen that was cast aside for being barren. However, she still retains a hen's instincts and thus is very protective of smaller creatures - like Gogonji. As such, she can get surprisingly aggressive in combat when her rider is involved, and is more than willing to kick, bite, peck, and kick up dirt and stone in order to chase off enemies.
