"It doesn't matter if I win. It matters if I don't try." -- Emory

Courage is strength in the face of grief, pain, and fear.

Courage lets you fight when afraid, speak when being shouted down, stand up when you're injured, or rebuke someone you respect.

• Honor or pride must be upheld
• Someone or something near you has already suffered harm
• Nobody else can or will take the risk

"Emory! Fall back! This isn't our fight!" -- Tana

Courage can twist into cowardice or recklessness. Not everyone knows the right time to run from a battle, or when a battle really needs to be fought. And not everyone is prepared to fight every battle they face.

• Boast of deeds undone or make promises you can't fulfill
• Run away to avoid getting hurt, physically or emotionally
• Seek glory or vengeance
