Presents of the Holy Spirit

A kind of individual that I feel personifies the Holy Spirit are Heroes. No matter what you do if you can help someone and make a change your a hero.

Why do I feel heroes personifies the Holy Spirit?

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord. 

To begin with, a hero has wisdom. Before saving or doing something great, a hero believes through faith. It helps us to order our relationships to the created world properly loving Creation for the sake of God, rather than for its own sake. It is also the trait that helps us judge things.
Next, a hero needs to have understanding. Without understanding, how could a hero save someone? We need to understand and think things straight before doing something. Think before you act.
Then we have counsel. A hero has to have prudence. Through counsel, a hero is able to judge which moves is the best to use. If a hero doesn't have this, then he could be beaten up by giving up. Any hero has intuition. An intuition to make a change and serve peace because they know there are people supporting them and they are not alone. 
Fortitude comes next. A hero without courage is like a bystander. Without confidence how could you move on. A hero is got to have confidence and courage. They need the strength to follow through on the next move they need to do, either to attack or retreat. 
Without knowledge how could a hero save someone? You need brains in a fight too. It allows them to make the right choice and the right move. Thinking things straight with our experiences allows us to see the circumstances. Heroes who are not physically fighting use their brains and win by knowledge.
Piety is the sixth gift of the Holy Spirit. A hero also  willingly serve God. It is the same way heroes honor their parents and friends.
Lastly, fear of the Lord is the final gift. Heroes have hope by listening and praying to God. This arises out of love and desire. It is like the respect we have for our parents. Heroes do not wish to offend them, but they do not live in fear of them.
