Someone who is very brave would be called lion-hearted. You might also hear "brave as a lion." Lions are supposedly very brave animals, because they will attack elephants (actually, male lions are quite cowardly, but the idiom means brave). Richard the Lion Heart was a famous king who was considered very brave indeed.
