She has a few fears... Quite a lot of them actually, but being the temperamental person that she is she wouldn't admit it to anyone but herself. The greater ones include;
- Loneliness. Both mental and physical; being raised in such a tight-knit community as Wind Reach she has rarely spent any time completely on her own. While she does claim that she dislikes people, she still can't imagine being separated from them.
- Pain. Again, both mental and physical. She has learned to handle the physical fear because it was necessary, but the small control she has often tends to backfire and causes her to just blindly charge forward without thinking - which in itself is a good way of getting more injuries. As for psychological pain, she isn't as willing to expose herself to it. She defends her innermost thoughts and feelings from everyone with both temper and a shield of perceived confidence, just so that no one will be able to get in and shatter the small amount of strength she has.
As for minor fears, they vary between;
- darkness
- failing in the eyes of her people
- having to accept her heritage (being a halfblood Chactawe)
- ending up as Dek
and several others. I think she's quite human, and more often than not she reacts because of either curiosity or fear...

He is..tricky. I've just made him and haven't had an opportunity to delve into his mind yet. So far though, I think the things that frighten him the most are:
- Being helpless. To not be able to affect the things that happens to him.
- Boredom. If he doesn't have anything to do he will begin to do strange things and the creepy-crawly things at the back of his mind are given time to play. Which leads me to believe that he is also afraid of
- His own mind. He is unstable and he knows it, and while he rarely feels deeper connections to anyone, he does care to some extent. The idea of causing pain where he hadn't intended to is enough to give him nightmares.
