* Elie, from ''[[Rave Master]]'', is a young female [[Badass Normal]] who [[Guns Akimbo|dual wields two high-caliber guns]] (with highly explosive ammunition too, apparently) and other dangerous ballistic instruments, faces demonic threats with relative frequency, and carries the world's most powerful magic inside her... and is so scared of storms a little zap is enough to send her to the ground quivering and unable to act. In her defense, though, this fear comes from the trauma of being almost killed by extremely powerful lightning spells -- ''twice''. |

* Usagi Tsukino in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had a touch of this throughout the series, though it was particularly played up during an episode of ''Sailor Moon R'' in which [[Generation Xerox|Chibi-Usa was revealed to have the same fear.]] The villains used a [[Monster of the Week]] to create a massive thunderstorm as a way to ferret out Chibi-Usa, which works when the poor girl becomes so frightened she loses control of her powers after being left alone during the storm. Usagi spends the whole episode freaking out as well, and when she fights the monster later, she's particularly upset with it for ruining her day. This trope is also one of many clues ([[Anvilicious|as if you]] ''[[Anvilicious|really]]'' [[Anvilicious|needed them]]) that Chibi-Usa was Usagi's [[Kid From the Future]]. |
