What are they?

My character meadow is scared of losing anyone, as she has already lost both parents and has no siblings. This means she is afraid to become close to anybody and she doesn't have many friends.

Melanie: Rejection/abandonment
D'artagnan: Personal failure/losing his freedom
Kineta: That she'll never be able to escape her past and/or that it will endanger her loved ones
Dean: That she'll never amount to anything
Vali: It's complicated, but basically the only thing he fears is D'artagnan's species
Mike: Helplessness/lack of control
Bernon: Solitude/freezing to death
Mariana: Her family T.T
Dodger: Weakness/betrayal
Nina: Losing her loved ones
Luke: Being trapped/being wrong
Boar-Back: That his enemies will discover his secrets and use them against him/that he will fail as a leader
Brandon: The truth about himself/being unloved/being vulnerable with people (a messy mix of fears indeed)

(As I wrote these I realized how telling they can be and how important to the story they are lol)

Daphnea: She is terrified of being forgotten, but is also scared of embarrassing herself in front of her peers. She also has a mild fear of bugs andthe dark lmao Oh yea she also gets nauseous when she thinks about death (blood, broken bones etc)

Cassius: he fears of becoming like his father, and he fears not being good enough.
Amirael: she fears her past is out to get her, and she fears that one day, she'll push her luck too far, and die because of her own recklessness.

@Young-Dusty, I know! Writing is always easier when you know your character's fears.

Crispin: He's really claustrophobic, but he also has some abandonment issues and is afraid that one day everyone will leave him but if anyone asks, he's not afraid of anything.
Kit: Public humiliation and messing up something really important. They kinda go hand in hand, I guess but since he's going to be the king one day he doesn't want people to think that he's incompetent.
Caleb: He's afraid of losing his sister. He already lost both his parents and his sister is the only one that he has left.
Eva: Same as above.
Gerard: Where do I even begin?? He's afraid of like everything? He's probably the most afraid of people finding out about his past or The Patrol (the main villain group). These kinda go and in hand though.
Matthew: He has a couple- He's really afraid of something happening to Kit since he's his only heir (if anything happened to Kit it would also mean that his brother would be next in line and that would be bad). He also has this big secret and he's super paranoid about people finding out it. He's scared of heights also (which ties into the big secret thing in a weird way. It's complicated).

Bard: EXPLODING
Newman: Never getting over Jordyn
Jordyn: Newman never getting over her
Charter: Newman becoming like their father
Elegance: What her sister has become
Notorious: His radioactivity
Doc: Not being funny
Bom: Herself

Page: She’s afraid of heights, which most people don’t know. She’s also scared of losing composure or letting her relaxed facade slip, and losing loved ones (especially her father).
Darcy: Growing attached to people, and being hurt somehow by her attachment.
August: Failure, or falling off track. From a pragmatic standpoint, he has the next 14 years of his life planned out, and he literally can’t afford to stumble, but he also has a lot to prove to himself and a lot he feels metaphorically indebted to.
Jesse: Rejection, criticism, or being disliked at all, a fear that he copes with by vying desperately for love, attention, and acceptance. Also, thunderstorms.
Silas: Public speaking, or being in any kind of spotlight.

Ivan: Has terrible claustriphobia.
Aariss: Bugs, insects, spiders, anything with more than 4 legs.It sounds pathetic, but its actually real, she has nightmares about being eaten by bugs, it affects her everyday life, she has panic attacks and once passed out.
