The correct answer is bildungsroman
A bildungsroman is a "novel of development" in which the protagonist grows, learns, and changes in order to take his or her place in the world. Novels of development appear frequently in the Western literary canon, especially in the eighteenth century and following. Fielding's Tom Jones, Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Dickens' Great Expectations and David Copperfield are all well known novels of development.

I'd have to go with "coming of age," since you question specifies that your character matures and not just changes.

It's a type of character development called dynamic development.

I'd use the word metamorphosis.
