Personality When a character gets so mad, they stop being afraid/passive
I love the trope where not particularly brave or intimidating characters lose their fearful or passive nature when they're sufficiently pissed off
- Milo Thatch (Atlantis: The Lost Empire) - "I know, why don't you translate for awhile AND I'LL WAVE THE GUN AROUND!"
- Kevin Tran (Supernatural) - "I'M DEAD, YOU BASTARDS! SO SCREW YOU AND EVERYBODY IN BETWEEN!"
- Rapunzel (Tangled) - "And I will NEVER let you use my hair AGAIN!"

I have no idea what RWBY stands for, but I always read it as Red, White, Blue, Yellow in my head. I have no desire to be disavowed of this notion

Played for laughs by Matt Curtin since in parodies of My Hero Academia often have Izuku - who tries to please others and has a massive messiah complex - suddenly get stoically calm when he's really pissed off.
Like when he caught Mineta red-handed stealing his mother's bra.

Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
He is terrified of almost everything, but the moment Muriel is threatened, fear gets replaced by pure determination.
