What are some stories you have found that include good examples of character growth? Books, movies, tv, comics, whatever you like.
Spirited Away is one of the most profound films centering around character growth that I've ever seen, to the extent that Chihiro starts transforming into a different character from the moment she meets Haku and she must choose to step outside her world of comfort in order to survive under Yubaba's rule. Along with the story, the visuals and wonderful magic, her own personal journey from a spoiled little whiny, clingy brat at the beginning to an enlightened, humble, pleasant little girl at the end is the most delightful thing to me about this film. What I love more is that I feel there is no particular climax moment where she transforms this way, its centered around the entire series of events that happen to her in the film. I love it, I'll never stop watching it.
