appearance
— Simple but you can SMELL the money from her clothes. She likes the simplicity of one color tops/bottoms, but occasionally branches out into stripes or the like. She's mostly fairly conservative, but is known to dabble with the oversized sweater/shorts combo. Tell her it's time to practice and she'll more than likely be ready first, loose sweatpants and an oversized hoodie/tshirt is her go-to outfit. Formal events are easy for her, but she really would prefer to wear pants instead of dresses. But she'll wear a two piece dress if not given an option.

สวัสดีค่ะ
Drops of Jupiter / The Wallflower Friend / Noticing, but Never Noticed / Gemini / Hidden Galaxy Within
personality  Quiet, Thoughtful, Charismatic, Pleasant / Independent, Timid, Observant, Dull
 
— Ever met those people who are just of few words? Bambi's one of them. It's not that she's shy, per say, she's just one who chooses her words wisely and doesn't speak a lot of her mind, which is a really strategtic move on her part. She'll speak when she knows that what she says is 100% what she means, no matter what. Independent is a word that thoroughly describes Bambi's persona. It's not that she can't depend on others, more like she hates troubling others with her problems and she learns to deal with them herself. She tries to just do things herself, which can make her a hard team player. She's all about helping others though, just don't expect her to want the favor returned.

— Many people don't think she pays much attention (is it the eyes?) but she does and she shows a lot of consideration for her groupmates and label mates. She likes doing it more in secret though, like if you said you were hungry, you can expect your favorite snack outside your dorm door with your name on it and a smiley face. If you needed a towel because you forgot yours in practice, you'll magically find one that's actually hers, but she doesn't mind. The reason why is that she's actually easily frightened and scared off by the thought of letting people close and just in general scared of them. Like the time that Malee tried to thank her after finding out it was her that left her favorite candy and she almost fainted.

— So she's a quiet bab and people forget about her easily off stage, but you can't forget Bambi when she's in 'Valiant's Galaxy Giraffe' Mode. She's very charismatic about the things she's truly passionate about, such as performing and being on stage, and it shows. People wonder why she doesn't show more of this off stage, and it's a mystery to everyone. Bambi notices a lot of things in the world, and is obsessed with the details. Most people would consider this a gift, but to Bambi it's more of a curse. She'll spend hours perfecting that note that was just a hair flat, or improving a dance move that the instructor didn't even notice was wrong but she did. She also notices things... that she just shouldn't notice about people. If she were more talkative, there'd be a lot more gossip going around the place.

— Bambi's just got...a very calming, pleasant aura to be around. It's not too calming, like you completely relax and want to go to sleep, but it's also not someting that you'll get super hype about. She just... makes you feel good? It's awkward at first, but after you feel it, it's just something you find yourself looking for again. It's comforting. Unfortunately, most people think that Bambi's quite dull, and she'd probably agree with them. She's just... not a conversationalist and not a huge people person when it comes to actual relationships. So yeah, after pleasantries and the small talk questions, she just, won't talk because she doesn't see the need too, and so people just don't think much of her.

— TLDR ; She's an engmatic, strange young girl. It's like she knows everything and yet nothing at all; she's inspiring performance wise but shies away off stage. Few will actually attempt to get to know her and once they get past her fainting spells, they'll find a loyal, kind, passionate friend that anyone would be thankful for. Bambi is just very introverted unless she's found something passionate that she can throw herself into.

 
 
background
— June 1997: Baby Charoenkul Saengdao was born into this world, middle child of five and into the rich, wealthy world of a medical and atheletic family.
— 2000: With her parents busy schedules and the nannies having four other kids to look after, Saengdao learned that being quiet and helping out when she could (even when she wasn't noticed) was the best option. She was awfully lonely though.
— 2002: Her parents enrolled her in soccer, her brother already taking golf and exceeding naturally in it. She loved it, although she wasn't the best, it got her around other kids that were her age and that wanted to play with her.
— 2005: Saengdao meets her childhood best friend, Chonnasorn Sakajul, who introduced her to music. She started to feel like she was going to belong somewhere, and even began taking piano and guitar lessons and began doodling little tunes down inbetween notebook sheets and schoolwork.
— 2009: Sorn and herself found SNSD and 4Minute on the internet, and fell in love with the two girl group's style and started dreaming of becoming music stars themselves. Saengdao wasn't one to audition and go for it, but she'd support her friend no matter what.
— 2011: Sorn and Saengdao travel to South Korea for a chance for Sorn to be apart of a new show called K-POP Star Hunt. Sorn passes the audition and wins the show, and makes Saengdao promise to audition next season as Sorn starts her training.
— 2012:  Saengdao auditions for K-POP Star Hunt Season 2, and with Sorn's help and hard work, manages to win and be a trainee at CUBE Entertainment, however, she was transferred to Pledis at the beginning of 2013 and debuted there instead.
 
relationships

               
— Ji Youngae | Layna | Idol - Valiant | Youngae is someone that Bambi likes being around, but is also terrified of, which honestly describes how she feels about most people. Bambi admires her dancing skills and her ability to memorize and create choreography, something she's never really been great at. Recently, Bambi's been making more efforts to be closer with some members of Valiant and you van bet that Layna is high on that list of people.

       
— Oh Seyeon | Haebit | Idol - Valiant | With Seyeon's brother being as famous as he is, Bambi's honestly not that close with Seyeon. She's a beautiful dancer and utterly charming, but again, Bambi is not a people person and when she sees someone nice she's like "RED ALERT BACK AWAY" with all of her being. That's not to say that Seyeon's going to let Bambi get away very easily. It's highly likely that it'll be a cat and mouse game between the two until finally Bambi decides to function as a normal being.

       
— Winai Malee | Ellie | Idol - Valiant | Unlike the previous two, Ellie and Bambi are very bonded and Bambi is quite relaxed around the fellow Thai member. Fequently, Bambi will just speak in Thai to Ellie, finding speaking her hom language with someone in the same group as her calming and pleasant. Ellie is like Bambi's younger sister, and Bambi doesn't mind speaking with Ellie, even letting her in on a few secrets that a majority of Valiant might not be aware of -- like her composing/writing and singing. Ellie can depend on Bambi to be there at the end of the day and offer a shoulder and will let Ellie be her age for once, which can be silly or even emotional, crying her feelings out because well, even though she's mature, everyone's got their limits. It's all thanks to Ellie having caught Bambi one night placing encouraging notes and favorite snacks outside everyone's dorm doors late at night.

       
— Chonnasorn Sakajul | Sorn | Idol - CLC | Of course, you can't talk about Bambi's relationships without talking about Sorn. Sorn is the reason why Bambi's even in South Korea pursuing this dream. At first, Bambi was very content with her place behind the scene, either with her composition or lyricist rights, but Sorn knew there was a voice in there, and apparently, so did the show they both respectively won. But being with Sorn wasn't going to help Bambi grow -- it'd just enable her to fade again, and she had done so well finding her own voice and style. So when an instructor brought up the idea of transferring trainees to other companies when Bambi was catching up on sleep after a long night of writing, Sorn recommended Bambi go, but only to a good company who'd use her talents well.

       
— Lee Jihoon | Woozi | SVT Trainee | Ah yes, when Pledis told Valiant they'd be helping out with SEVENTEEN and some of them would have students to assist, no one really expected Bambi to paired up with anyone. But she was, with none other than the eye-catching, ever talented, and very grumpy Lee Jihoon. At first, Jihoon didn't even know that she was his teacher -- he thoguht she was a creepy admirer and avoided her a lot. But when he found her in the studio late one night, trying to get a minor chord progression to overlay with the transition to Valiant's new song, he kinda got the puzzle pieces together and they sort of pulled their act together. Jihoon actually can't believe that he can call Bambi a friend, and Bambi's just grateful that he doesn't appear randomly around corners.
 
trivia
—  The Galaxy part of her nickname isn't because she's just as confusing and hard to understand as the universe itself; it's more because she's really, really into astronomy and stars. Her ceiling is filled with star maps and glow in the dark pins representing constellations that she changes as the earth rotates.
— She's a very talented composer and lyricist, however, she just doesn't show her stuff a lof to anyone exlcuding those she's working with. Some Valiant members probably don't even know that she's had a huge hand in composing and writing some of their stuff.
— Bambi actually has never seen the movie Bambi, or any other Disney movies either.
— "Stays up late, gets up early" kind of gal, never seems to get enough rest but always seems to never have enough time in her opinion.
— Hates her dark hair, prefers it blonde or brightly colored.
— Is probably the one that talks the least on variety cams but has a lot of fancams. She's a wonderful performer but not quite an entertainer.
— Constantly called to compare her height to other male group members, because she can actually be taller than some of them and everyone thinks it's hilarious.
— Has a nest instead of a proper bed. Lots of pillows and blankets arranged perfectly but hardly ever used since the couch in the studio is usually where she sleeps.
— Currently (as of 2014) attending Hanlim Multi Art School with a focus in the Applied Music Department.
— Records her singing seperately from the group's sessions, simply because she doesn't like the attention on her.
— To the surprise of nearly everyone, she's actually dated and admitted to it before. She was known to go on dates because of her parent's influence and has had 3 relationships confirmed. "Dating was easy, but I think I was too young to get why we were doing it in the first place."
— Has a cute girafee themed thermos that almost always has some form of coffee in it and is literally always with her. All the time.
— She's actually very good and accomadating at fan signs, her attentive and focused nature lets the fans feel like she's really listening and taking everything they say into consideration. Most fan accounts often are sad that she doesn't say much and just listens to them, though.

how many years have you spent training? what was it like?
 Before the interview, the Thai member was nervous. Why did they ask her to interview? She wasn't really any good at anything that wasn't performing. When ushered in, she sat down on the chair opposite of hte interviewer before smiling and bowing politely. 'Breathe.' She reminded herself. She was then asked to introduce herself, which caught her off guard. "I-i am Bambi, Valiant's, uhm, galaxay giraffe, hello." She stumbled through, cursing herself silently as she waited for the next question.
*After the question was asked*
"A year." The answer came out easily this time, and Bambi breathed a sigh of relief. "I spent about half a year at Cube after Star Hunt, then transferred here afterwards. I haven't had a lot of experience training, but it's hard. A lot of things are difficult, especially since I'm a foreigner." She tilted her head. "Learning Korean was the hardest, though, I think."
how did you join pledis?
"I was transferred here from Cube," She repeated slowly, afraid as if she wasn't clear in the first time around. "At the beginning of 2013 and then I debuted." The interviewer then asked about her transfer, to which she shook her head. "I honestly don't have a clue -- maybe Pledis wanted me for Valiant, or Cube just didn't have the group for me yet, but either way, I was simply told of my transfer, and here I am.
valiant is rumored to consist of pledis's best female trainees; how do you feel about this?
"Everyone's going to say they feel honoured, but I feel uneasy." She replied. "While the flattery is appreciated... I'm not sure if I should be considered as one of the best. I don't think I'm anything special." Her degrading words towards herself made the staff look worriedly around her, while she just looked indifferent with her wide, big eyes. She waited politely for the next question. When prompted to explain herself more, she simply shrugged, "That's just what I think."
did you ever think you were going to debut?
Silence encompassed the room for quite a while, and the interviewer asked the question again in case Bambi had missed it. "I wasn't expecting to debut so soon, I suppose." She responded, "A short trainee time like mine isn't exactly normal. But I suppose the survival show I was on could count?"
who are you closest to in the pledis family, seventeen included?
..."Ah, well, there's two." She actually seemed happy about talking about this, and it was a breath of relief from the quiet, calculative air she had about her while considering her words. "I'm close to my groupmate Ellie and Jihoon." Bambi confessed, a smile working onto her face, "Ellie is like my little sister, and since we're Thai, it's comforting to have someone that understands how homesickness feels, it resonates more when you're fromt he same place. Jihoon's sort of forced to like me, really, but we get along just fine. I'm helping him out in... some areas that we both happen to do well in." She avoided revealing her compostion/writing talents, if only not ot be put in the spotlight even longer than usual.
what activities do you aspire to do outside of valiant?
"Mm. I think I'm quite content with my position within Valiant. I have a few ideas, but I believe the saying is that if you say a wish out loud, it doesn't come true, right?" She smiled, "I guess you'll have to wait and see what I can do."
where do you think you'll be in fifteen years?
"More than likely still in the music scene." Bambi was confident in this, "Maybe still promoting on stage, perhaps training others, maybe even behind the scenes work. My path is my own to make, and only time will tell. Perhaps we should meet again in fifteen years and you can see firsthand?" She attemped the joke, and earned a few chuckles. She stood up as the interviewer thanked her for her time, bowing deeply and saying goodbye to everyone before hurrying off, shocking everyone at her height once more.

backup/s wen junhui 文俊辉 ; kim mingyu 김민규 ; lee seokmin 이석민
 
personality grumpy cinnamon roll from Busan tl;dr: he's just precious
 
beginnings Like mentioned above, Jihoon was her student and he didn't get it until he actually saw her working. He was honestly very embarrassed about that, like how could he not get that she was his Valiant teacher like she'S IN THE GROUP HE'S SEEN THEM PERFORM??? HOW??? He didn't want her to be offended or sad that he might of forgotten about her.
"I had no idea --" He stumbled, and she simply looked up at him with her big eyes, which caught him even more off guard and made him even more flustered.
"It's okay. Hey, you like composing too, right? How's this sound?" And immediately the scene changed into Producer Lee and producer B (as she goes by) staying until late hours of the night trying to finish and perfect everything.
 
love story So thus starts the strange, unlikely friendship of Jihoon and Bambi. The two honestly spent most of their time in the studio, working on music. While Jihoon would practice his vocals regularly, even demoing his voice over the tracks, Bambi wouldn't do it.

"Just... I like recording alone. No offense, but... yeah." Of course he didn't get it but also as a producer he understood that sometimes you had to be alone to really think. So he didn't push it.

Pairing them up together was a scream for most of the others, though, because of a "small" height difference. "10cm, actually." She mentioned once when Jihoon attempted to say "it's not THAT big of a difference come on --" (Jihoon's 165 and she's 175 like dude it's not small okay) He'd get really pouty after that, but now he just lets it happen and everyone knows he's irritated but will eventually let it go.

You know how everyone points out that Woozi's never dated and that he has no girlfriends? In his mind, he still doesn't, and will still say "Yeah, I don't really have friends that are girls." and then the uproar starts about Bambi."But Bambi -- she's -- that's different." He'll insist, trying to ward off the teasing and the apologys to Bambi. It's different and she won't care, he insisted. And he was right. He'd come into the studio, ask if she saw the broadcast, she'd smile and say yes, and then they'd go back to working. She didn't care about the fact that Jihoon didn't see her as a "girl".

But that didn't mean that they didn't fight. Jihoon already expresses his anger healthily, but Bambi never did until Jihoon got her going. They'd yell about the quality of the work they were putting out, the fact that people tokened them to one thing, or that he'd make her pay for the food because she was younger, or that she'd never remember to save work unless he told her to, they could be each other's worst enemies at some points in the night.

The two never seemed to think twice of any step of their relationship -- even when they reached the point of falling on the couch together or taking shifts to make sure their deadlines were met. Jihoon didn't find himself nervous around her, and she found herself opening up to him more and more. Since he's met her, Jihoon can't think of a time where he thought of her as 'dull' as she's so often described as.

Once SVT debuted, Jihoon was in the studio a lot, forgetting to eat or to take care of himself. Bambi would be the one to more often drop in with a bottle of water and a meal, insisting that he ate and that she'd look at the track. "Look at it with food in your stomach -- everything sounds bad with a nasty hungry growl underneath it." And there were times that he'd snap at her, tell her to go away, and she'd understand. "Okay, but this is your food. Bye now." She'd never force him to do anything, because she knew that he wouldn't do that to her.

There was a day, though, where Jihoon was rushing down the stairs after Bambi, for once they weren't in the studio and while it was strange and new he didn't mind, as long as he was with her, but curse her long legs and s h o o t that was a stair he missed --

Bambi had just turned and caught him, however their mouths... were a little close. Like, there was some touching skin going on and Jihoon all but SHOT back, beet red and apologizing profusely and Bambi just --
"Hm. It's okay, let's get going, shall we?" She just grabbed his hand and kept going, "Be careful on the stairs though." And Jihoon will never forget how it was just so casual and felt, well, dare he say it, right.

However, the more he thoguht about his relationship with her the more he realized that he... didn't really know that much about her? Like she's so quiet ang they just produce stuff together and he's like god I know nothing about her life what is wrong with me --

And it bothers him all until the next time he sees her. Not in the recording studio, but at a late night convience store. They were both nominated to get the goods from the store during their groups late night practices, and he jumped on the opportunity, no matter how nervous he was. "H-how are you?" He asked as they were both checking out.

"Tired. I probably smell like sweat, tears, and desperation for sleep. But it's satisifying, I suppose. How are you?" Her quirked eyebrow made him sigh. "I'm just... exhausted too. Also, have you noticed we don't know anything about each other?"

She grabbed the bags, thanking the cashier before heading out. "And what makes you think that?"

"Well I don't know where in Thailand you're from, how many siblings you have, hell, I don't even know your favorite color --"

"That's what you're worried about?" She stopped to look at him with disbelief. He shuffled, feeling silly. "Of course I am... If... the Stairs thing... It it meant anything to you, wouldn't it bother you too?" He burst.

"It doesn't bother me." She tilted her head. Jihoon felt his heart deflated and didn't know why his first love/crush had to end with her quietly breaking his heart, but so be it --

"It doesn't bother me because I know you. I know that you're going through five possibilties to make this situation less dramatic, I know that by the avoidance of your eyes that you're hurt but you don't want me to see it. I know that when you're tired, your dialect comes out and I have to guess a lot of your words because I can't quite catch them. I know that 3 am is your first cup of coffee or first nap of a long night, and that it takes at least three of either of those to make you function at least semi-normal amounts of grump." She stepped closer, leaning down towards his height, "I know that you're passionate about what you do, and that you feel so much but don't show it outwardly, but with pen and paper and a studio. You're anxious about so many things, and the last thing you need to be is anxious about me." She smiled, leaning down to gently kiss him.

"It doesn't bother me that you don't know my favorite color and that you don't know mine because we know each other." She finished, standing back up to her full height and waiting for his response.

He motioned for her hand, gently intertwining it with hers as best they could with all the bags they had to carry, "It's purple." She mentioned on the way back. "I also have four siblings."

Many people thought that Jihoon's first girlfriend would be the one helping him out of the studio, however, Bambi's an enabler in the worst way because she does the same exact thing. But it's not so bad when you're able to fall asleep on the couch together, hands intertwined and the occASIONAL kiss when he's courageous enough to ask for it, but sometimes he doesn't even have to because she just knows.
