## Story

Not much is known about Benares, only things really known is that she once went to a high school and she went to prom with Gingerbrave, indicating they have known each other's for a long time.

During the current timeline, she was sent by an unknown person to kill a few select humans, two of these humans being Nene and Yumi. Nene And Yumi managed to convert her and be on their side, due to Benares needing a purpose to know what to do in her life, Yumi decided to make her a mascot in EP3 for something called Leaving Baguette, a friend group, because of this Benares was confused at first and after Nene explained and introduced Benares to the rest, she understood that she could do whatever she wants, as that was her purpose. Eventually Benares would go missing for a few episodes and then return saying she had to run some "errands", later in the episode the errands are revealed to be her original purpose, kill a few select humans, though despite this she never actually killed Nene or Yumi as she viewed them as allies.
