>▍APPEARANCE
[td][atrb=width,300px]
>▍DESCRIPTION: Sav looks the world like a young girl, he's not all that tall despite his best efforts, but that's hardly the only reason he looks so feminine. With several sisters to teach him about life and growing up, he's picked up more than a few of their habits. Generally he keeps his hair tied up in a ponytail but will let it down on occasion. When on the secret outings he'll just tuck it up into a hat. When not wearing the school uniform or the costume, he prefers a nice sundress or skirt and top. Generally he avoids pants even more now that he's started the secret hobby as a masked street musician.
When in that guise he like rather loud and flamboyant clothes, leather is a favorite. He still keeps himself covered, chest and all just in case he is found out. This way he can keep the mystery alive, at least in part. He also wears hats large enough to hid his hair and large mirrored shades.

>▍OVERALL PERSONALITY: Savannah is a rather unobtrusive person, easily giving in to other people's demands if it means avoiding too much attention. He's also a prime target for bullies though he hoped that would change when he went somewhere where nobody knew him. He doesn't like confrontation at all which is part of the reason why he is so easily persuaded or forced to do things he doesn't like to do. Adding to his shame, he blushes very easily and he's still trying to control his tears which can come out like a switch.
One thing he does like though, is music. He's very good at the violin and cello, rather good at the piano, and he adores the trumpet and sax, and isn't bad with a guitar. He also really likes to sing and has become rather good at it. Secretly though, he craves attention and the recognition that he can be a proper man. Which lead to his current exploits as the masked musician.
Since taking that up he has found an inner strength to at least stand up straight in a crowd and even to say no to some things, though he's still easily persuaded to do things.
While on stage he acts a very different way though, it's like he's a completely different person. He's loud and rambunctious. He'll show off and he works hard to make everyone feel like he's singing directly to them. He'll even do a little flirting between songs if he feels he's got the time.

>▍HISTORY
[td][atrb=width,300px]
>▍OVERALL HISTORY: Savannah grew up without a male influence. His father left their home while he was very young and, while continuing to support the family, never comes home from business trips. Savannah's mother also spent a good deal of time working leaving Savannah in the care of his four elder sisters. Saying that their mannerisms may have rubbed off on him is a huge understatement. In most cases it was far cheaper for him to share in the secondhand clothes his sister's, which was more their decision than his mother's. That said, after awhile even the mother was used to it and it just became habit, even when he got new clothes he chose women's. School was fine at first as nobody seemed to realize that he was in fact a male.
He also spent a great deal of time at his neighbor's home. It was she who taught him the wonders of music. She was a retired musician who performed on many stages, including Broadway and she inspired Savannah's love of music and provided him all the training he wanted, both in song and dance.
However as he got older he became rather annoyed at always being grouped in with the girls. And tried to change his life, he took up sports like baseball and tried to learn martial arts, but he was still bullied. So he retreated back to what he knew. He returned to his sister's clothes, now his own, gymnastics, baking, and became even more shy. Though his cutting off everyone outside his family and the one neighbor did one good thing. His grades excelled and he finally escaped his hometown and anyone who would know him.
His father's wealth got him into Ouran, though Sav didn't know it at the time. Now Sav knows the truth, still he's not going to throw it all away on principle. However he feels about his father, Ouran is the best thing that could have ever happened to him. With that knowledge came another gift from his father trying to make amends. A huge amount of money was gifted to Sav who, after living a rather hard life is now incredibly wealthy.
One fateful day at Ouran, Sav met Miki and they somehow became friends. He kept his secrets close to heart but he was glad to have someone to rely on. That wasn't the only breakthrough he made. His old teacher kept telling him to be more public with his talents, to stop hiding so much and be noticed. Sav wasn't quite prepared for what happened next. Through a series of accidents and lucky happenstances, Sav performed in front of a small crowd while dressed as a man and wearing a mask. It turns out, he really liked the attention. With a little help from Miki, he kept it up his sudden masked appearances.
He's visited the Host Club on several occasions, and his favorite is Haruhi because he's quiet and pleasnat and actually seems to care about what the customers want to talk about. Though Sav also likes to watch Tamaki because he thinks Tamaki would make a great role model for a rock star persona.

>▍SAMPLE:"There," Sav's father began, "now that that's taken care of we can have a nice chat." He turned his attention to his son, Miki had been cut off now, this didn't involve her so he gave her no more attention.
"Alright dad, what did you want to meet me about?" Sav asked, he was still trying his best to appear nonchalant but it wasn't quite working out.
"It's about your future. You're getting older Sav and so am I. The magazine has been doing well and sales have been rising steadily over the last few years. However I can't run the company forever and I'd like to see you prepared to replace me."
Sav was thunderstruck. Of all the things he had expected, this was not one of them. He didn't know the first thing about business or magazines or selling things, he was starting to really just want to play music. Of course he wasn't going to tell his father that. Still, he could voice his doubts. "But I don't know anything about the job, I couldn't do any of it."
"Why do you think I had you sent to Ouran? Some of the best business minds teach there, and some of the most successful people as well. They'll train you properly."
"Sent me? I got in on a scholarship." Sav said, rather confused.
"A scholarship? Full ride, to a school you never heard of, let alone applied to? Don't be so naive." Sav's father scoffed. "I had hoped you'd be smarter than that."
"Well if I'm not smart enough, why not give the company over to someone else like Lydia or Sarah?"
"Because I've chosen you, they have their paths that they've chosen." Sav's father answered calmly, unlike Sav, his emotions were kept cool. Sav was having trouble ignoring the anger welling up inside him.
