I think that’s very satisfying for readers as long as the challenges are huge and daunting.

Thanks for this post. It was interesting.

Often we immediately think “wise” and “old” when we think “mature” which can go hand in hand, but certainly don’t have to. Kudos for reminding us that maturity can be found in youthful characters.

But maturity is an odd mix of experience and innate wisdom which sometimes can fail when confronted with something completely unexpected.

I think of Wendy in Peter Pan.

Interesting post! And I love your example of Hazel and Augustus.

They’re less likely to risk something and my type of stories require lots of that. Lol.

I do enjoy watching characters gain maturity throughout the story!
