SE isn't an idea genertor.

Writers often use the "Shadow archetype" from Campbell and Jung's writings. It represents fear of something that the hero is afraid of become, just as Luke Skywalker was afraid of becoming somebody like his father.

If you want ideas for "how" personify that fear, go take a look into the greek mythology, read about phobos and other myths about fear. Horror stories are a great place to take a look as well, because the monsters of these kind of stories represents a specific kind of fear, not fear as a whole. Because everybody has different fears, just as they have different desires.
