I don't think so, but it doesn't devalue the actions any! If you do a virtuous thing because you aren't afraid to do it in the first place, then it's still virtuous. Whatever you do in the absence of fear is no less impressive because you weren't afraid! But I don't think they can be called courageous.

[He reaches out, darkening one of the letters that wasn't as firmly-written.]

I've never known anyone who's never afraid, anyway.
