Virara wasn't really sure what to make of Eorzean mounts. Initially her impression was that they were intended to be used as both a steed and a form of emergency ration.

The chocobo she bought is large and ugly, with constant shedding feathers. By appearance he looks much like an overly large crow, with a repulsive squawk that is displeasing to the ears and a lean, hungry frame. He seems to be a mutt of sorts with a patchy heritage. Virara named him Tebasaki, or chicken wing, since she intended to eat him if he proved unruly, but she is strangely tolerant of his surly and unmanageable behavior. He comes when he feels like it, no matter how much time passes between her whistling for him and when he arrives. He refuses to be hitched to fences and will always attempt to run off on his own. Tebasaki seems to be developing the ability to fly, as he was able to glide for some distance on his own without the weight of a rider in the Sea of Clouds, but rarely will he let Virara ride long enough without throwing her off to take advantage of this. Generally their interactions involve Virara being pecked or bitten by him, and it is a miracle she is durable enough to withstand his "affections."

Ever since Virara intensified her training, most wild and domesticated animals take great pains to avoid her and often lash out when she draws too close, like they can sense something wrong about her. Considering this, that Tebasaki even allows her to sit upon his back for any amount of time is remarkable. Perhaps he does like her, after all. It's difficult to say whether she is cognizant of it or not, but Virara probably does genuinely like pets; they just don't like her. She is the type of girl who, if she lived a more normal life, probably would pet the cat even if it continued to bite her.

Aside from that, any pets that fell into Virara's hands, she gave to others as she is unable to really take care of them for obvious reasons. She does, however, sometimes collect bugs and put them into jars or barrels full of moist soil, feeding them on occasion. She's imitating a form of gambling she secretly watched the Doman refugees on her island partake in, and one her Master usually lost money on. She is not disgusted by insects, and is particularly fond of large beetles, and will sometimes take them home with her secretly, letting them loose if they grow too large to keep in the same container with the others. She seems partial to ones with large horns or mandibles.
