Hi all,
Would you please give me a verb to collocate with 'personality' meaning 'to complete'? The example being, '...adulthood is a time when personality (becomes complete)...'
['ripen' and 'mature' might be used in this case, but I was looking for a verb that suggests 'completion'.]
Many thanks!

I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
Matures works well for me- it suggest fruition but doesn't suggest that the person had ossified.
