First of all, every main character in the history of the world has to change in a certain way.

That's how you know your character has grown.

Whether it be coming out of their shell, growing up, or learning new things, your character has to change and learn something at the end of any story.

Now, your character can't just change.

There has to be buildup, hints at a braver inside, at a stronger personality underneath the fear. A person can't become fearless in a week. They need time to grow and need to have a valid reason to.

This change should take nearly the entire book to work believably, because no one starts as a total introvert and becomes a international singer overnight. They have to face their fears and defeat them.
