They're all clones with the same memories. The only differences between them is the role they take on a specific outing. Any of them could lose their nerve.

Per twitter notes (https://twitter.com/abubu_newnanka/status/1234492489051996165) the anomalous otter was completely flowerizing the mask it got a hold of to make sure mask's memories couldn't be replicated. Since the otters' gimmick only works so long as they can rely on the cloning to keep their numbers and gathered experience (the reason they rotate rolls), cloning an otter that has felt fear means future clones will be infected with fear as well.
Also an otter that feels fear is just contrary to their jolly nature.

Differences in disposition would emerge over time as each otter experiences something different. These might take many months or years to be noticeable. The otter that managed to crawl out of the theater may be an example.

It's like a dog that meows or a cat that barks. Also yeah, you don't want one that's been seized by fear to be the only one left to clone from. Exile seems the right choice if they cannot function as any role on the team anymore.

Don't be a party pooper Mask. Think of the FUN to be had in exploring!
Let's be honest, exploration is !!*FUN*!! in the same way Dwarf fortress is fun, and for the same reason. Losing is fun, and you/they can always try again and use what they learned to do better.
I'm hoping "Exile" means that they just kick her out of the apartment rather than dropping her off in some random floor.
My common sense would recommend poor Giant Otter to just go outside and explore the pretty normal world. Which immediately makes me wonder; Is a cloned Giant Otter able to leave the apartment?

What if A.Otter is trying to "save" them, as being the possible original, she knows that, the clones being the real anomalies, can't leave the apartment, and they are stuck in this neverending nightmare, so A.Otter just thinks it's better for them to die quickly, then being trapped here for eternity?
Her text is in a black text cloud, which means the infection has begun. This may well be the origin of Anomalous Otter (or at least, one of them...), since being attacked by the other clones after being altered may drive this one into revenge stalking the other otters.

The one problem I find with that is that, well... becoming A!Otter means exploring more of the hotel, since it goes anywhere and everywhere (and anywhen) except for the few safe zones the otters have. I'm not sure how to reconcile her new fear of exploration with the idea of delving further and deeper into the complex than the regular otter team can.

As much as I hope that the scared G.Otter is able to just leave, there's the chance that if they aren't able to (or if outside is somehow worse) being exiled is akin to a death sentence. Then, if she manages to survive on her own, she may have had a mental breakdown which leads her thinking along the lines of "They threw me out, they're the bad ones, they have to die" as revenge and become A!Otter.
