Description

### Summary

faker is great! But, https://github.com/lk-geimfari/mimesis is also very cool. It is faster and has way more types of data and data itself.

It would be very nice to include the support for it, since it can add more structured data to users' structures.

I happen to be a maintainer of both :)
