Character Fear?
Aside from the usual and well recognized fears of brutal and painful death and a phobia regarding Yarzon Feeders, D'aito Kuji has a fear of her mistakes costing someone their life, especially innocent life. Â This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy as her reticence to make a snap decision can be the mistake that costs a life.Â
How do they cope?
D'aito copes primarily with heartfelt prayers to the Twelve and to Azeyma the Warden in particular. Â She will also take more practical steps and try to think about everything that could possibly go wrong and plan a strategy to counter them. Â Unfortunately, D'aito is not as intelligent or thoughtful as she thinks she is and this breeds overconfidence. Â When she recognizes her mistake, she tends to beat herself up over it and questions her role beyond the tribe of her birth. Â Such existential crises do not tend to last and are often abated by a few stiff drinks.
How do people respond to their fear?
It's not uncommon for D'aito to passively-aggressively seek positive and comforting feedback from her peers, especially those in the Blood Roses Free Company to which she is a member. Â She will utter self deprecating things about herself and expect a refutation. Many people find this annoying and also find it difficult to know when D'aito is genuinely upset. Â Knowing that she can be overconfident and occasionally absent minded when it comes to planning something, friends, partners, or colleagues must add their own input if they wish to reduce the risk of being killed. Â The only reason others consent to her leadership is her uncanny ability to get a job done and overcome stupendous physical challenges in spite of the limitations of her intellect (she is a tank, after all).
Do you think one day they could be cured of there fear?
I think she could overcome some of her fear and just accept that sometimes people under her leadership will die. Â But this might be a hinderance as much as a help. Â Many leaders can begin to see those under them as pawns and can disassociate themselves from the consequences of the dangers they face. Â And because it's unlikely that D'aito will gain greater intelligence, this could become especially dangerous when mixed in with her overconfidence. Â It may be a good thing that D'aito fears making costly mistakes but that is little comfort to her or the families of those whose lives she's inadvertently taken.
