Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each character's development from "The Westing Game":

1. "Learns to overcome her guilt and find redemption and joy by marrying Otis Amber" → Berthe Erica Crow (she had a past of guilt and marries Otis for redemption).
2. "Appreciates how she was helped in the past and pays it forward by financing Chris’s education" → Judge J.J. Ford (she was helped as a child and helps Chris).
3. "Realizes she has been cruel to her neighbors and family and learns to value her own abilities" → Grace Wexler (she matures, recognizing her cruelty and her own worth).
4. "Discovers confidence as she learns English and feels connected to her neighbors" → Madam Sun Lin Hoo (she gains confidence through learning English and community).
5. "Finds happiness and success as an ornithologist studying birds" → Chris Theodorakis (he becomes a successful ornithologist).
