He was the golden Chocobo, considered to be legendary to all Chocobos. She was just a mere black Chocobo. But Shiva, through Cloud's eyes she was gorgeous. He would often watch as she ran with her flock, running from other Chocobos that tried to compete to win her over as a mate. Spotting her grazing alone in the field, Cloud approached her cautiously. She lifted her head once he was next to her and squawked in surprise.
"Ssh…"
Cloud gently nuzzled her to reassure her that everything was alright. She eventually relaxed. He learnt that this Chocobo was named Tifa.
