o How does the character change over the course of the story?
She learns that some people are different, and that you shouldn't judge people by what they look like. She also learns that some people shouldn't be trusted, and she learns more about who you should trust and who you shouldn't. In this way, she learns more about the world around her and the people in this world.
o Does the character learn lessons or come to realizations?
She comes to the realization that sometimes people aren't as they seem. She thought someone was full of themselves, but it turned out that they were just having a hard life.
