The empathy is the most important trait a good friend. Because empathy is necessary in conversation. It's similar with reaction.
Good friend means good conversation with me.
When I say "I'm so depressed, so I changed my hair, and If some friend answer me not interestingly, that friend won't be a good friend to me.
So I think empathy is a first step to become a good friend in some relationship.
