Character Notes · 4:38am Sep 29th, 2020
Have some character notes on Phobia Remedy that detail some things not spelled out in the Pandemic AU, but could give insight into her character.
Phobia has a certain subconscious nervousness about males, primarily stallions. This is why she keeps two females for her primary bodyguards, instead of stronger male bodyguards. You can see this behavior extended to her household, where the only males who are regularly around her are her son and godson, and visits by her father. She could have put her hoof down about the fighting over mates that unjustly got night pony stallions expelled from guarding her house, but chose not to because she secretly felt more comfortable with them gone.
The Warden of Fear doesn't harbor animosity towards males, but they do scare her on some subconscious level ever since her incident with Swift Strike, and she tends to keep her distance from them, outside of official capacities. This is a clear prejudice, and is not something she is even consciously aware she does, although some close to her realize what she is doing, and choose to say nothing about it, because no one wants to be the one to make the Warfen of Fear face her fears. She doesn't carry over this prejudice to her official dealings, which are governed more by logic than feelings, but they do impact her private life greatly.
