A true hero never falters, no matter the odds. Your courageous spirit inspires the people around you, earning you the trust and support of those you meet. Common folk will find it easier to put faith in you, and will support you in the face of danger and ill circumstance however they can, so long as you haven't shown yourself to be undeserving.
