Your otherwise capable or serious character has an inordinate fear of thunderstorms. This is a primal, almost childish fear that surprises other characters, although it's not always played for laughs. The actual name of this fear is "Brontophobia" or "Astraphobia". note The former suggests a fear of late-Jurassic Apatosaurine dinosaurs while the latter, a horror of affordable German family cars. It also happens to animals, especially dogs, due to them having much more sensitive hearing. This trope in Real Life is Older Than Feudalism, with the fear of thunder being a prime defining weakness of the Julius Caesar and the Julio-Claudian dynasty of Ancient Rome. Note that fear of thunder is often treated as silly; after all, it's just a lot of noise. Fear of lightning, on the other hand, is absolutely justified — and confirmed by Snopes — but by the same token, since you hear the thunder after the lightning, it's good news: it means you weren't hit. Nothing Is Scarier may also come into play, as Alfred Hitchcock once said: "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it." A subtrope of Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?, especially common in anime. Would be logical in settings with Dramatic Thunder, but the tropes seldom combine. May result in a Fright-Induced Bunkmate. |

In the Swallows and Amazons books by Arthur Ransome, Peggy is afraid of thunder, much to the scorn of her sister Captain Nancy (who isn't afraid of anything). This comes to a head in Missee Lee, where the girls are in a ship under attack by Chinese pirates with cannon, and Nancy comforts Peggy: "That's guns, not thunder!" | |

An episode of Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! revealed that both the villain and Scooby have lightning issues. Phibes apparently gets so upset that his prosthetic laser gun is fired off when he so much as hears the word "lightning". He explains that he accidentally altered his body during a failed attempt at gaining immortally, which causes him be struck by lightning every time he steps outside, regardless of the current weather. His plot of the episode revolves around creating a never-ending thunderstorm, thus leaving the severely astraphobic Scooby as a paranoid wreck. Since the lightning bolts are apparently violent and can strike anything, Scooby actually has justification for this. Shaggy drags him along to stop the storm anyway. | |

Chapter 15 of How to Treat a Lady Knight Right reveals that Leo has a phobia of lightning. She herself is surprised, as the only special memory she has of lightning was training outside on a stormy night and getting struck head on, but the lightning was so weak she was barely hurt, so it couldn't have traumatized her, right? When she can't deny it anymore, she swears Houli to secrecy. He is happy to comply, since it means he gets this side of Leo all to himself. | |

The Hike: Joni is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms, to the point she wasn't even comfortable with her make-up artist painting lightning stripes on her thumbnails. This stems from a childhood incident where she experienced her first thunderstorm and had no idea what was happening or where anyone was; there had been a powercut in the house and her father and his crew went to the pub next door, leaving Joni to wake up alone and run around the pitch-black house in terror. Consequently, when the group experiences a massive storm while camping on the second night, Joni quickly goes into panic-mode. | |

Elie, from Rave Master, is a young female Badass Normal who dual wields two high-caliber guns (with highly explosive ammunition) 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 this fear comes from the trauma of being almost killed by extremely powerful lightning spells — twice. | |

Exploited in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where Cao Cao assesses Liu Bei and says that the two of them are the only true heroes; Liu Bei is immediately mortified by the possibility that Cao Cao might see him as a rival and, thus, someone who the shrewd and powerful Cao Cao will eventually have to kill. Thankfully for him, a bolt of lightning happens to strike at this time, and Liu Bei pretends to cower in fear...thus causing Cao Cao to dismiss him as coward. Cao Cao would eventually regret this; Liu Bei walked off unscathed, and would later become the ruler of one of the rival kingdoms to oppose Cao Cao. | |

It actually becomes a plot point by the end of the movie: Ted claims he's the reason that John can't grow up, and uses this as an example ("He'll never be scared of thunder again!"). Sure enough, when Ted dies, there's a thunderstorm outside and John doesn't even flinch. Their Thunder Song: | |

Azumanga Daioh: Chiyo-chan is a genius, ridiculously cute, and scared of lightning. In her defense, she's still only 10 years old. In the manga, one of the Yonkoma shows that Sakaki is also scared of lightning. Osaka is scared of lightning too, but she enjoys it. She even peers closer to the window. If this doesn't make sense, remember, this is Osaka we're talking about. After having to endure a rather traumatic car ride with Yukari-sensei, Chiyo-chan is asked by Tomo if she thinks lightning or cars are worse during a particularly bad storm; Chiyo promptly suffers a BSOD. |

In Roller Brawl: The Mega Cyborg, Xander Payne, the leader of the Emerald Spears, admits to suffering from astraphobia, but this is a more justified example, as he was maimed as a result of Elec Man when he was reprogrammed by Dr. Wily, so thunder and lightning are more of a Trauma Button for him. | |

Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines had "Spy In The Sky" (Fun-In #3, August 1970), in which Muttley is sent to find out Yankee Doodle Pigeon's weakness. Yankee Doodle plants a fake fear for Muttley to take back—a fear of thunder and lightning. Dick Dastardly has the squadron push thunderclouds towards Yankee Doodle, but it backfires. He's wearing lightning rods atop his flying helmet and the lightning bolts strike the Vulture Squadron. Cue Dastardly relieving Muttley of his medals. | |

Case Closed: In the Detectives Koshien arc, a storm starts when the four teenaged detectives are gathered in an old mansion and one of them has actually been killed. Once thunder breaks in, Natsuki "Detective of the South" Koshimizu screams in utter horror and collapses to the floor. She was actually faking it, to distract the others while she was searching for a piece of lost evidence that could potentially reveal her as the Sympathetic Murderer of the arc - and the one who killed her fellow sleuth. Conan and Heiji weren't fooled by her act, though, and later use it to unmask her. | |

One Archie Comics strip had one thunderclap scare Veronica into the awaiting arms of Archie, exploiting this trope. Unfortunately for him, her father saw all that and told the both of them many tales and fables about thunder and lightning to lessen her fear of those elements and lessen her time in Archie's arms. It worked. | |

Though the games seem to have removed this character trait, as his element power in Sonic Heroes is Thunder Shoot.

Played with in "The Eagle in the Oak Tree," a short fic for the Fairy Tail fandom, wherein Lucy acquires the silver key of a new Celestial Spirit, Aquila the Eagle. Aquila refuses to serve any summoner who is afraid of his element, so he throws lightning at people who approach his oak tree until a Celestial mage comes along who is brave enough to climb up and grab his key in spite of all his threatening behavior. Lucy loses all her fear once she realizes that Aquila is testing her bravery, and credits the once-misguided Laxus with forcing her to overcome her fear of lightning when he had instigated the Thunder Palace incident seven years prior. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: In a somewhat ironic twist, Big Bad Colonel Volgin of game is afraid of storms. Although this is directly passed on via radio communication from one character to another, there are other subtle hints, such as how Volgin retreats to his quarters during storms and chants a Japanese charm against lighting strikes when forced to be outside while it's raining. This is ironic because Volgin himself has control over electricity, uses it as his primary weapon, and one of his nicknames is "Thunderbolt." Naturally, he is killed at the end of the game by a direct hit from a lightning bolt when he decides not to say his little anti-lightning mantra for once. Standing knee-deep in exposed electrical cables on top of a giant tank probably didn't help. | |

Rikku in Final Fantasy X suffers this, due to a traumatic childhood experience of a mis-aimed attempt to protect her from a sea monster using lightning magic. She even screams out in fear when she's hit with a Thunder spell in combat. At one point, the party must travel through the Thunder Plains, where lightning is always shooting down, and never stops. Ever. Most people in Real Life would find it perfectly rational to be afraid of walking through a place where one must constantly dodge lightning bolts by jumping out of the way every few seconds. The other party members, meanwhile, consider Rikku's reaction to be well over-the-top. note But then again, lightning in the real world is often lethal, whereas getting struck by lightning in this game (outside of battle) doesn't even take off any HP. By the time of Final Fantasy X-2, she has cured her phobia through the fairly simple method of camping for a week in the Thunder Plains. In battle, when casting Thunder spells, she'll occasionally quip "Astraphobic? Not me!". | |

Sailor Moon: Usagi Tsukino had a touch of this throughout the series, though it was particularly played up during an episode of Sailor Moon R in which 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 that Chibi-Usa was Usagi's Kid from the Future. | |

The official iOS app of the Warrior Cats series claims that Hollyleaf has this - justified, since Ashfur had attempted to murder her and her littermates during a thunderstorm that started a fire. | |

Wimzie from Wimzie's House has a fear of thunder, as seen in the episode, "The Storm", with the reason given being that it is very loud and happens very suddenly. The other kids also carry a fear of it for the same reason, but all to a different extent. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam: Ramba Ral's Zeon crew are completely freaked out when they land on Earth in the middle of a thunderstorm, actually thinking that it's some sort of Federation defense system until Ral corrects them and explains what's going on. A Justified Trope: most of them were born and live in massive, climate-controlled colony stations, and have never been to Earth before. Meanwhile, the children on White Base, who have also lived in space for most or all of their lives, think it's a Zeon weapon. |

Kyoshi Rising; Kyoshi expresses an extreme dislike for storms, citing that she used to run crying to her parents when she was little whenever a storm rolled in. Some have speculated this is due to the previous Avatar, Kuruk, dying while trying to quell an unusually strong storm, and the memory carried over to Kyoshi. | |

During the final section of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, the police officers, for once, stand in positions that lead to their field of vision covering the entire area with no way to sneak around them. However, they're also all afraid of thunder, and it just so happens that a very convenient storm came along at the start of this level. Whenever thunder cracks, the guards all get so scared that they basically go blind for a few seconds, giving you time to run past them. | |

In Octopath Traveler, a tavern banter sequence reveals Intrepid Merchant Tressa is afraid of ghosts, thunder and debts. Interestingly, in gameplay wind-element enemies tend to be weak to lightning, and Tressa's elemental attack is wind. | |

Friday Night Funkin': Girlfriend will keep a straight face through pretty much anything... except when there's a storm; she'll jump a little whenever there's thunder. Boyfriend is similar, with him displaying a slightly startled and fearful look whenever thunder strikes, even if the player never misses a note. | |
