why: Boh was a small spoiled child, who never been outside. He had a lost feeling of identity at first because he hasn't seen a lot in life. After being turned into a animal, he experienced something he never had. he went on a journey with Chihiro travelling out of his comfort zone but at the same time learning about his surroundings and about himself.
Scene: A scene where we see the change is when Zeniba (Yubabas sister) turns Boh into an animal. The character of Boh changes towards the end of the movie.
qoute:

If you make Sen cry, I'll hate you. This is what Boh said at the end, developing his own feelings for Chihiro.
