I will not do anything past 2020 for the history sections unless they were born after 2020, as many events are too recent. Website still incomplete.
République du Bénin
Benin, also known by her human name of Ayaba Salamatou Worou, is a stubborn but laid-back individual who doesn’t mind taking things slow.
Benin doesn't like to be stressed out, so she always takes time for herself and understands the value of not getting caught up in her own head and stressing herself out. Benin loved her personal time and taking care of her own things, and highly values it, not letting people take it from her unless she has no other choice.
Benin can also be very stubborn, standing her ground for her beliefs and rarely letting herself be changed by the whims of others. However, this can also make her very resistant to change, as Benin finds comfort in the status quo and often harbors fears that a major change will cause her more harm than good.
Benin is a big fan of slower change and not radical change and hates it when her rhythm is thrown off unexpectedly. In a few ways, she dislikes being a personification, as she knows her life would have more stability if she weren’t.
