Bennu's most defining characteristic is his tendency towards love. It's not really that he falls in love often or easily but that he simply loves everybody he meets, and to such an incredible and genuine depth that they cannot help but love him back. He's actually almost painfully shy so sometimes his affections are not obvious until the other pries them out of him but once Bennu has made a friend he keeps them. He is touchy-feely, always bumping up against the rest of the pack with a shoulder or a paw or his tail. He's incredibly submissive, worryingly so; if the wrong person got his hooks in him Bennu would be the sort to destroy himself for another's gain. Thankfully Bennu is surrounded by friends, and they would never tolerate such a thing befalling him. He is particularly close to Anansi, who he harbors a deep crush for. He doesn't have the confidence to admit this to Anansi himself and believes he's being subtle, although the pack has been gossiping about the two of them for months.
He always has a shoulder to offer to someone who's sad but he feels so deeply for other's that sometimes he can become just as affected by something as they are. This makes it difficult to tell him sad stories or show him sad things as he will cry and be mopey for days. Sometimes behavior like this can become understandably annoying but the pack has patience with him; they all adore Bennu, and so they protect him when his mood is down and make certain that he has the space and time to recover from whatever has upset him. Due to his easy nature he is often heartbroken over a number of things. He doesn't like to fight and when confronted will frequently become overcome by the other's anger and simply weep. That's okay, as the pack has adopted him as their own and would never allow him to be placed in such a circumstance. As far as the pack knows, his temper is nonexistent, but Bennu can be goaded into irritation if pushed far enough. Mostly he becomes angry only when his friends are threatened, and not so much him, but he's learning.
trivia.
-design is based off a flamingo
-don't hurt Bennu's feelings or the pack will murder you
-he is soft and squishy and a little bit pudgy
-he speaks very softly and quietly and if he's yelled at he just goes quieter and quieter
human form.
Bennu is topped with shockingly pink hair. He keeps it trimmed short and never really bothers to style it, although he pretty wakes up with it looking presentable. He's rather pale and of medium height and has eyebrows that are such a pale pink they're nearly lost against his skin. On the bright side, they complement his pale blue eyes very well. He tends to wear jewelry and prefers sterling silver. He has a white heart tattooed on the back of his right hand, and a pink one tattooed onto the bottom of his right foot. He has never supplied a reason why as to either one.
