I'm trying to write a story of transformation, in which an extremely introverted and non-confrontational person goes through a traumatic experience, and _in the finale_ takes a stand in defense of themselves. In most hero stories it seems the protagonist is the opposite of mine, brash and assertive, a risk taker, and quite confrontational, often recklessly so. My question: Is there is a structure for stories with a **too** timid hero (male or female) that changes and learns there is such a thing as _necessary_ confrontation and finds the courage to execute it? Any references to existing stories along these lines is welcome as well.
