Fearful

The Fearful Afflictions is one of the Quirks in Darkest Dungeon.

Description
"Fear has overwhelmed the hero, whose every thought is now turned to self-preservation..."

Effects
When heroes are inflicted with Fearful, they will become extremely cowardly and unable to cope with the adversities of the dungeon. Negative effects include:
 * Crying and dropping pessimistic quotes randomly, raising companions' Stress levels in the process.
 * Running towards the back of the Party formation where it is safer, effectively wasting their turn and ruining your formation.
 * Skipping their turn.
 * Stopping an ally from changing positions with him/her.
 * Increasing stress whenever: he/she is attacked, an ally is attacked or an ally hero attacks.

Affliction Effects
There is not much to do here other than praying your Fearful Heroes develop some confidence every now and then and follow your commands. Perhaps move them to the back of your party formation before combat so they don't have to run away there themselves, skipping their turn in the process. This affliction could be considered a weak version of Irrational, which has many more negative effects, triggering stress damage way more often.
