Ambrosia (Final Fantasy XVI)

Ambrosia is a chocobo who appears in Final Fantasy XVI. She is Clive Rosfield's steed and faithful companion.
== History ==
Ambrosia is the steed of Clive Rosfield, eldest son of Archduke Elwin Rosfield. She did not go with Clive on his mission to Stillwind, and was instead brought with Elwin's party to Phoenix Gate to await her master's later arrival.
==== Night of Flames ====
During the attack on Phoenix Gate, Ambrosia saved Clive from being hit by falling debris when his brother, Joshua Rosfield, lost control of his powers and rampaged as the Phoenix, being hit in the face and losing her left eye in the process. Clive praised Ambrosia for saving him before asking Rodney Murdoch to get her back on her feet. Ambrosia would flee Phoenix Gate just before Clive suddenly primed, transforming into the dark Eikon, Ifrit, and battling the Phoenix.
==== Whiteheart ====
Unbeknownst to her master, Ambrosia survived the Night of Flames, joining a flock of wild chocobos and spending nearly two decades living in the Rosarian wilderness. She would take after her master and begin protecting merchants traveling the roads near Martha's Rest from bandits and wild animals, earning the nickname "Whiteheart". In the year 878, she would be reunited with Clive after he saved her and her flock from a group of bandits seeking revenge against her for attacking them previously. Clive initially did not recognize Ambrosia, but soon realized her identity after noticing the scar on her left eye. Afterwards, Ambrosia chose to return to Clive as his steed, with her flock joining her as transportation for the other members of Clive's party.
== Characteristics ==
=== Appearance ===
Ambrosia is a chocobo with white feathers and blue eyes, a unique appearance among her species. She has a scar over her left eye after losing it while protecting Clive during the Night of Flames.
=== Personality ===
A faithful, courageous and ever loyal steed to Clive, Ambrosia is willing to risk bodily harm to protect her master, losing her left eye during the Night of Flames to prevent him from being crushed by debris. It has even been stated that Ambrosia will not let anyone else but Clive ride her or even pet her. Her bond with Clive would remain strong even after years apart, as Ambrosia recognized her master almost immediately and gladly accepted him back as her rider, always answering his call when needed. She also appears to have a respect for Torgal, Clive's wolf companion, as the two acknowledged each other respectfully after nearly two decades apart.
Following the loss of her master and going into the wild, Ambrosia quickly made a name for herself as a flock leader and protector of chocobos from poachers. This shows that she shares her masters noble nature and desire to protect others.
