Dare I continue to delve into the minds of these wondrous beings? Well, I will, though I may mess up entirely...
Remember, I don't own these ladies, gentlemen, and monsters, none of all, but don't truly care to try changing that as I would be mowed down in the crowd.
A late Thanksgiving gift for those who celebrate it, and the last chapter for those who don't. I realized that I DID mess up the chocobo chapter... I mixed it up with Seven, where calling Chocobo resulted in a random attack from the variety of species. Somewhat understandable, as those varieties are represented in the Triple Triad cards.
~~Bahamut~~
Long viewed as the freest of all of us, Phoenix answers to no human unless she chooses to, and even then, only if they first use one of her Pinions in battle to save themselves. I suppose she feels that after that, they might just have sufficient need, since she doesn't willingly part with her Pinions often in the first place, at intervals of maybe one every decade or so.

In a moment of desperation, Squall used that lone Phoenix Pinion in his pocket to bring back the two who had fallen already. The classes he'd taken had claimed that it would bring back an entire party, though he couldn't see how, if one person was needed to use it. What he wasn't expecting was that a Guardian Force would respond to the item.

~~Tiamat~~
Part of her freedom stems from the fact that the humans know not how to summon her. Another part is due to her fiery nature. Imagine the small trickle of water that gushes from a miniscule hole in a dam. Now imagine the flood that occurs when the whole dam crumbles under the pressure of the water. Phoenix is easily compared to that flood, if one wishes to compare Ifrit to the trickle. And that is only comparing attitudes.
~~--~~
Expecting to need two Phoenix downs as well as a few of the strongest potions, Squall was utterly surprised to see that Guardian reappear. The surprise stemmed from the fact that it was only the second time he'd ever seen the gargantuan, multi-colored bird, and he knew that the two traveling with him had fallen before, and he'd been as badly injured before, both events at the same time, and separately. He didn't understand why it chose now to show up again, when it had not done so at other times, of equal urgency.

~~Eden~~
Phoenix is well aware of those who would attempt to figure out how she decides when to assist, and when to leave them to their own devices. She knows full well what would happen should they ever figure out her pattern either. Most of the rest of us assume she tries to be as random as possible, and others figure there is some obscure pattern to it, that no one else can.
~~--~~
As curious as the others were, Squall was not about to subject himself to repeatedly allowing the others to fall and to nearly do the same himself. Not on purpose. It happened often enough in battle with certain people around anyway. Though the others didn't seem to, he was quite content with allowing the firebird to show as its own ideas dictated. Life was random in the first place; he figured he'd be bored to death if he tried to make everything orderly.

~~Griever~~
If they could capture her, would they be able to contain her? Would they be able to live with the rest of us if they even tried? Oft times humans do not stop to think about what they do. Which is entirely the reason the only contact they have with Phoenix is purely by her choice, to an extent that makes Odin and Gilgamesh both seem positively friendly.
~~--~~
I have never seen Phoenix's actions as a Guardian Force. Therefore, what happens is my best guess.
