BACK-UP: Amee
HEIGHT: 162cm

APPEARENCE: Looks just like Hanni faceclaim with long black hair and bangs. Many people  mistake her for a Korean because she can pass especially with Korean style makeup. 
FASHION STYLE: Savannah's style is really normal. She mostly likes to wear leggings and a graphic tee and converse. It doesn't vary from that very much because she likes to be comfortable. It's obvious that she hasn't really found her style yet and doesn't care about it much at the moment. 

TRAITS: Friendly, optimistic, helpful, curious, shortsighted, nonchalant, talkative, quirky, naive, idealistic, stubborn, awkward, blunt

PERSONALITY: Savannah is someone that's friendly and optimistic. She can talk to others easily and talks a lot if she wants to. She sees the bright side of many things and doesn't let negative comments or people bother her usually. Sometimes even if a situation with the mood down she refuses to be down too and might seem too happy for the moment. She isn't the best at reading the room at times. She says things that can be a bit awkward for the situation and has times of TMI sharing. She sees things how she wants to see it even if others say the opposite. If she views something a certain way its hard for her mind to change even after seeing facts. She makes a great fan because no matter the scandal she'll stay by your side.

Her stubbornness can be a good or a bad thing. It's good that she's not easily influenced but bad because she does what she wants usually without listening. She goes through life lightheartedly just enjoying the ride and not taking much very seriously but she still won't embarrass herself. She can seem shortsighted because she does a lot of short term gratification than long term planning. Really just living in the moment.

When she feels like she does she thinks about it a lot, mostly because for many things she doesn't get embarrassed. She doesn't talk about her insecurities but it's kind of easy to tell that she's feeling off because she gets quiet. She doesn't compare herself to others that are way better than her because it wouldn't make sense but when someone that is on the same level as her (in her point of view) goes home or gets a bad review then she gets scared. She's usually realistic about how good she is at something but when it comes to her musical talent she downplays herself after being bullied for it. So she compares herself to people worse than her instead of those actually on her level.

She is such a big K-Pop fan that she can seem a bit like a koreaboo. She does aegyo randomly and other many many cringey things. She openly fangirls about other idols but she doesn't mind what others think because she likes doing it, she's proud actually. She will proudly do aegyo and show the dances of groups she knows. She's still a teenager after all, they're all cringey and weird.

BACKGROUND: Savannah was born in Sydney Australia as a 3rd generation immigrant to Vietnamese parents. Her mom is a Zoologist and her dad is a Veterinarian so she grew up around animals. She is the oldest child with a younger sister 3 years younger than her. Her family had many pets, mostly stray cats that they took care of so as a kid Savannah saw animals as her friends and would talk to them. A lot of kids her age would see animals as scary especially bugs but Savannah had no problem letting them crawl on her and petting them so she was called a weirdo often by her peers. She got bullied for being a cat lady and talking to animals since she was in elementary school. It’s a nickname that stuck with her throughout her school years and kept her isolated from others.

She made her first friend in middle school who really loved K-Pop and that’s how she got into it. K-Pop wasn’t mainstream in Australia so they were seen as dorks but they didn’t care because it was what they enjoyed. They would post dance videos on social media doing covers together for fun and they tried learning Korean too. They were fully immersed in the Korean wave because when they weren’t listening to Kpop they were watching kdramas and when they weren’t doing that they were fangirling over Korean dudes.

Her parents were supportive of her so they put her in dance classes since it’s what she enjoyed. Not really expecting anything out of it. It was Savannah that ran home one day saying that she got an email back from BigHit that she passed their online audition and they were so confused.

RELATIONSHIPS:
Kim Somang - They get along well because they are kind of opposites. Savannah likes trendy music, fashion and going to popular places unlike Somang. But she drags her places and tells her things anyways. If Somang is doing a trendy tiktok its because of Savannah. Thanks to her shes not a total boomer. Somang thinks her being boy crazy is stupid but that doesnt stop Savannah from gushing to her about many boys.

STAGE NAME: Savannah
POSITION: dancer, sub vocalist, sub rapper
TALENT TWIN: Eunchae

TRAINEE SINCE: 12/2019 and 2/2020
TRAINEE PERIOD: Savannah joined BigHit in December 2019, she had an idea of what she expected and it was everything she thought. Usually people complain about the training process but Savannah oddly loved it, it was like all the fanfics she read and videos she watched coming true right in front of her eyes. She was living her biggest fantasy so it was definitely a win for her. She only trained for a month, long enough to understand the ins and outs but not long enough to hate it. She is so idealistic that even when others were struggling around her she kind of saw it as an interesting side story to her own training story, not realizing that people are actually suffering through the process. Not one time did she she cry throughout that month despite the her having a few reasons to because she was just happy to be there. When she got kicked out for not being good enough, she still says it was the best month of her life.

She went back home to Australia after that, her classmates didn’t believe that she spent the winter break training in Korea because it went by so fast. She actually got made fun of for coming back for fast because other students said she must be really untalented then. At the time it didn't bother her but when she thought about it she thought they must be right. As someone that liked to post dance covers on her spare time it was a hit to her confidence. Being an idol wasn't her life dream so getting that dose of trainee life was good enough for her to never do it again and be a veterinarian because she loved animals as much as Jungkook. But she randomly got contacted to join Arthouse and went back to Korea. She trained 3 months and wanted to  prove to herself that she isn't as bad as others convinced her she is.

DATING STYLE: she is very open to dating, even one after the other since she falls in love fast. she never had a boyfriend or even a first kiss at the time of debut. she is not interested in one night stands but will get blindsided by their handsome face and miss the warning signs so she ends up in the situation where they never call her back after sleeping together. she just wants a boyfriend to go on cute dates with and last forever.
