dauntless
Refusing to flinch
Dauntless means fearless and determined, unwilling to be discouraged or intimidated.
The word carries a sense of bold perseverance in the face of difficulty or danger: dauntless courage, a dauntless explorer.
It's somewhat literary, more likely to appear in heroic narratives than casual speech.
