It helps that I'm an introvert myself, so writing an extrovert character like Brandi is harder for me because I have to write someone who is wired completely different while I understand an introvert like Renna.
One thing I hope is that Renna still feels like an introvert and still struggles in social situations, even after all her growth. One thing that annoys me as an introvert is when the shy character is "cured" of their shyness as if being an introvert is a disease that the poor character needs to conquer. They might get better at managing it or not letting it control them, but the character will still have a bit of a hesitation in social situations.
