* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Rowan is afraid of ''everything''. {{spoiler|Which means he faces his fears every single day, which means he's the only one brave enough to make it all the way to the end.}}
* [[Fearless Fool]]: In an excellent twist, John is beaten by the mountain not because he was afraid, but because he wasn't and should have been. Exhausted and slowly freezing he realisesrealizes that Sheba was right, only fools do not fear, and admits this to Rohan.
* [[Hypocrite]]: Towards the end of the first novel, the characters are back home worrying about Strong Jonn; Val states that he's 'all alone' on the mountain. Allun points out that he's not alone, Rowan's with him. Val sneers that a weakling like Rowan is no use to Jonn, and he needs someone strong, brave and courageous by his side at a time like this. Allun bluntly points out that Jonn had ''five'' strong, brave and courageous companions at one point: "They all ran away." Val, who was among the first to run away, has no comeback to this.
* [[Jerkass]]: Naturally,[[Kids Are Cruel]] towards Rowan, but plenty of the adults are also unnecessarily mean to Rowan as well.
