unintimidated
Showing no fear
Unintimidated means not frightened or discouraged by threats, opposition, or difficulty.
Someone who remains unintimidated refuses to back down despite pressure: She was unintimidated by the hostile crowd.
The word often describes courage in the face of power imbalances—a witness unintimidated by cross-examination, a reformer unintimidated by entrenched interests.
