She is an animal lover who has 130 pet chickens.

And when it comes to their personal beliefs, Rayne and Chidi are not on the same page, and neither seems willing to compromise.
Chidi Has A Strong Christian Faith
Religion Helped Him Cope With Losing His Vision
Chidi is a devoted Christian. He believes that his faith helps him to live with his sudden disability, and he considers Rayne a blessing from God. However, Chidi’s faith has grown since he first began talking to Rayne. As he became more devout, he withheld the extent of his dedication from Rayne. This caused him anxiety ahead of their long-awaited meeting.
Chidi didn’t tell Rayne that he intended to remain chaste until marriage. This will shock Rayne, who, after five long years apart, described herself as “longing to be physically connected with him now in every way, shape, and form.” Upon her arrival in Nigeria, Rayne will struggle to accept the news of Chidi’s chastity.

Rayne Intends To Change Chidi’s Beliefs
Her Headstrong Conviction Is Disrespectful
During a conversation with Rayne, her mother and her mom’s friends worried that she was unprepared for the reality ahead of her in Nigeria. Rayne downplayed the religious differences between her and Chidi, saying they both have the “same God.” However, she soon revealed beliefs that are incompatible with Chidi’s. Rayne believes in God, but she also believes in aliens and UFOs, an understanding she insists is essential for survival.
Rayne is unwilling to waver in her steadfast beliefs.
While discussing her spirituality, Rayne showed blatant disrespect for Chidi’s Christianity. She claimed “people like him” think they are believers, and she intends to “show Chidi the truth.” Rayne clearly sees her own beliefs as the only right ones, and she is determined to convert Chidi. This raises concerns about the motive behind her trip to Nigeria.
Rayne’s Family Called Her “Blind Emotionally”
Rayne Was Defiant As They Tried To Intervene
Rayne’s mother and friends did not hold back when sharing their feelings about Rayne’s headstrong attitude. They asked Rayne whether she had researched how to support somebody who is vision impaired. She was dismissive, pointing out how self-sufficient Chidi is. Rayne’s family can see that she is looking at Chidi’s blindness as a benefit, which is concerning to them. Their fears about the relationship grew when Rayne spoke of her intention to change Chidi’s religious beliefs.
Rayne’s family unsuccessfully tried to convince her of the need to accept Chidi’s beliefs. They felt it was ironic that while Chidi is “blind physically, she’s blind emotionally.” Considering Rayne would not listen to the most important people in her life, it seems like nobody will convince her to open her mind. She isn’t motivated by her love for Chidi as much as her insistence on saving him from a religion she sees as flawed.
Rayne’s insecurity makes her irrational and has caused fights in the past. For these reasons, Chidi was not ready to propose, and he worried this would set Rayne off.
Chidi, too, acknowledged that Rayne’s behavior can be unpredictable. He admitted that the idea of meeting Rayne in person worried him. Even from afar, Chidi saw her temper. She’s out of control when she gets angry. Rayne’s insecurity makes her irrational and has caused fights in the past. For these reasons, Chidi was not ready to propose, and he worried this would set Rayne off.
Rayne lets her own agenda cloud her logic. Still, she is optimistic about her romance with Chidi, oblivious to her family’s concerns. Rayne’s behavior in the first episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days did not paint her in a flattering light. As the season continues, Rayne will need to show her flexibility and openness if she wants to salvage her chance at love.
