Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

ben is relatively short for a guy and very cute with a bit of a baby-face. he is also sickly, physically weak and often neglects his health. he has commitment issues that stem from his lack of confidence in himself. sometimes he distances himself from those closest to him in an attempt to keep himself safe, but it doesn’t work out and he just ends up hurting people and causing whirlwinds of guilt to engulf him. he cries a lot, though he tries to only do it when he’s alone because he hates being on the receiving end of pity and he feels like people are only sympathetic because it’s the “right thing” to do and it’s often not sincere. he is a control freak and when he feels like he’s losing control of things in his life, he lashes out. he prays when he feels helpless, but most other times he forgets to and it causes him to feel a little bad. he can also be rather clingy.
