Tip of this writer's advice is to take the inner personality of your characters and put the one personality that is encompassed with the flaw in the before and the one that has overcome or broken through that flaw in the after slot.
This doesn't mean a character has to completely change into a better version of themselves by the end of your story.

Sometimes you will have a story where your character will be miserable at the beginning and happy at the end.

Musa is miserable in Season 1 & 2 and even we all know why, it's obvious.
Only Flora & Tecna aren't the ones miserable.
In Season 2 Aisha and Bloom become both our protagonists
Season 2 Aisha has a flat arc against Darkar meaning she is completely fearless and unafraid of him. This results right out of her refusal to quit.
At the ending Half of Season 2 Bloom does become our protagonist because she's finally in danger whereas the others weren't.
