Does your OC find it easy to make friends? What barriers are there to them doing so? Has this changed over time?
Very interesting question!
Kwas would say that she surprisingly finds it easy to make friends.
For the most part she assumes that most people would find her too awkward or different or strange to be a friend. And she really doesn't try hard to make herself more appealing to be a friend. While she does reign in a bit of her quirks, what you see is kinda what you get and from her experience the vast majority of people brush her aside.
...And then come the beastfolk and her adoptive family and the Moblins (and all of her critters of course), so now she can't quite say its hard for her to make friends.
How this came about when she's awkward and blushy she isn't sure (and he's not either) but she'd solidly say he's a friend of hers and probably one of two she earned (by actually trying).
As such, I don't think much has changed other than Kwas herself is not as apprehensive of meeting and befriending people now.
