Nothing to fear but Fear Ghoul herself?

OKAY GAIZ. It's time for another "tell me about your character" post! This time it's for people who will be coming into contact with Dr. Makiko Kisugi (so, patients/potential patients, fellow doctors, &c).

Dr. Kisugi has some happy fun special abilities and, uh, personality quirks, so I need to know two things from you:

1) How mentally "strong"

1) Well, if you do mean will or charisma, then I suppose Ophelia is very strong mentally. She can easily project an aura of confidence and charm when she wants to (although there are definitely ways to rile her up and put cracks in that facade), and her determination to remain a top-tier warrior and destroy all the awakened beings has not faded in the least over the years. However, in terms of mental stability, Ophelia is definitely not all there. She is a textbook example of a psychopathic personality (see Personality section of her character info for more details

Ed Elric: Ed, I would say, is very mentally strong. He does get deeply affected by things, but he always comes out of it and he never gives up, just keeps on walking. He has a very very strong will which is near impossible to sway once he sets his mind to something.

His greatest weakness is his brother, honestly, and his greatest fear is probably losing Al or more people he cares for. Things said about his mother probably work too XD

Yohji: Yohji's mind is already fractured into many itty bitty pieces. He keeps coming back, but he's mentally pretty fragile.

His greatest fear is probably falling far enough to become someone who enjoys killing and maiming women. A character in he drama CDs tried to push him in that direction and he does have the strangling problem already. His weak point is definitely Asuka though.

Kenren Taisho: Kenren is very strong mentally. Most things just don't bother him at all. And I honestly can't think of anything that he's scared of XD Boredom mainly. He hates being bored. To needle him though,

Jamie's generally pretty logical and usually does a good job of staying calm under pressure, but when he gets too overwhelmed (like, when being threatened directly with severe bodily harm) he tends to panic. He can be pretty stubborn, but he's also a pushover and isn't very good at standing up for himself, so if anything he probably just ends up seething to himself after he's been bullied into doing something he doesn't want to do.

As far as weaknesses go, he's the kind of person who likes to know how things work and why they happen, and thinks that he should be able to solve any problem that comes his way; failure to do so tends to depress him and makes him question his own competence.

He was also fairly traumatized by an incident in his childhood during which his father was involved in a mechadactyl aircraft crash and nearly died, though it's not necessarily a crippling fear or anything.

1) How mentally "strong" is your character?

He's actually pretty strong-willed depending on the circumstances. On the one hand, he mostly runs from the people who want to kill him, even if it's just one or two. On the other hand, torture, while extremely unpleasant, tends to be pretty an ineffective method of getting him to talk. There are also certain people he'll actively try to kill no matter what. Think not flinching even if said person is backed by an armed militia. Generally Badou is laidback/stable, but he can be really...hyperinsane.

2) What are your character's greatest fears and weaknesses?

You can needle him with anything pertaining to his brother, Dave, or the death of said brother. If you really want to get him going, it's probably best to imply some connection to the killer/organization or pretend to withhold information on it. Fair warning, he will get violent.

Also, anything pertaining to visitor!Haine or Alkaid's recent disappearance might work.
