Certainly the Guard was brave, due to over-confidence, and Chelsea's influence. Felix was not afraid, but he doesn't feel confortable being evenly matched as seen in New Moon. He would prefer to outnumber his foes. Or at least have Jane and/or Alec to neutralize them. If he had to destroy the newborns of Seattle, I don't think his first choice would be to face all 20 of them in a basement - but he would if need be. Renata isn't afraid of her own shadow. She is afraid for Aro. Due to Chelsea's power, her loyalty and devotion to Aro is total. She would rather die than see him harmed, even the slightest. Caius wanted to fight because he is actually a very big coward. It's like a snake. A snake doesn't bite you when you're passing by it because it means to harm you, but to defend itself preemptively. - Kind like Victoria Marcus is no coward, but someone who lost the healthy dose of fear of death, even craves it, really doesn't count. Aro is very child-like. He is only brave with guard around him, like a bully and his underlings, or a child with his parents. He wants to have things others don't, he enjoys toying with Amun, as Amun finds talented vamps, and then Aro comes and steals them like a petty thief. He destroys things he likes (like his sister and his friendship with Carlysle) to have other things he prizes more.
