as she becomes more familiar


Explanation:
Una duda que sólo se puede resolver con más contexto: ¿se trata de confianza en sí misma o confianza CON alguien?
Ésta es mi propuesta para el segundo caso, la frase estaría sin acabar, haría falta decir "familiar with X".

Sí se trata de un grupo, sigo pensando que significa dos cosas: confianza en sí misma, para relacionarse con el resto del grupo (estamos hablando de una tímida), o en el sentido de \"tener confianza con alguien\" (de la que da asco :-P) no tratar a los demás como desconocidos.
Estoy pensando que lo mejor sería recoger las dos ideas: BECOMES MORE FAMILIAR AND CONFIDENT.

agree  Maria Teijido: yes , or more used to (the doctor or whoever). Creo que el contexto es suficiente para ver que se trata de confianza en otra personas, por lo que "confidence" no me parece adecuado
