You will need to follow these steps to transfer the character:
Make a campaign
Add the character you made for them to the campaign (copy the invite link and then load it in your browser, then select the character you want to give them)
Unasign the character (click the unasign button)
Give your friend the invite link for the campaign
Tell them to select the unasigned character when joining the campaign
Optional: they can now select the 'remove' button to remove the character from the campaign
