You are controlling and aggressive, but it is because you always remain loyal and hardworking and you expect others to be that way as well.

You also may find your seemingly rough actions may be driven by fear, because underneath the gruff exterior you possess a deep tenderness that ought to be admired.

Okonkwo

You are an enigma, and you are given what you want, but you deserve it for being so strong, mysterious, and perseverant. You might have [had] childhood health problems, but you never let that destroy your fiery spirit. You are also very beautiful, and you love those close to you very much.

Ezinma

You have a painful past, but you remain strong-willed and loving, and many people admire your determination. Your greatest strength is love, and you bestow it easily on the people who surround you, especially your child and husband. You are probably an amazing cook and put your heart and soul into the food you prepare. Sometimes your deep love can make you unwise, but it helps you build foundations for the relationships you have in life.

Ekwefi

You make an effort to spread your faith through kindness, although you sacrifice other things in you life to do so. You compromise easily and, through your charisma, you easily get people on your side.

Mr. Brown

You may be judged for going against the crowd and following your heart. You are gentle, willing, easily swayed, and adventurous. You are willing to try new things, even if it means disobeying your parents. Your rebellious nature is a soft one, and you are firm but gentle in your resolutions. New ideas appeal to you, but remember not to be too unsure of yourself. Decision-making might be hard for you, but your gentle nature is something that makes you endearing.

Nwoye

You are crazy, wise, and spiritual. You have a rhyme to your reason, and you don’t care what people think about it. Sometimes you do unexpected things for reasons that most people don't understand, but you always know what you're doing. You may be outgoing at times and strangely inward at others, and you believe in the power of your ancestor spirits. You may have a sort of double personality - sometimes you are possessed by your crazy ideas, and sometimes you can be a calm force in the midst of chaos. But however different your two sides may seem, you are deeply caring and a true friend.
