trivia:
     - Kittibun taught himself how to cook by watching numerous how-to videos as well as just using the trial and error method. He got some pointers from the chef at his first, and only, job, picking up on said chef’s rough-around-the-edges persona in the kitchen.
     - There were plenty of stray cats in his "neighborhood" and Kittibun would've taken in every single one of them if it hadn't been for his neighbors warning and scolding him not to do so. He's always had a big heart and a deep love for cats so it was no surprise when he eventually snuck a small kitten during a storm, naming him Chai.
     - Despite the lack of money his mom had, Kittibun was able to go to school thanks to his neighbors all pitching in to provide him with what he needed to be able to go. He actually quite enjoyed school and is much smarter than his more fortunate classmates thought.
     - Kittibun wasn't and isn't really secretive about the fact that he has no interest in girls, identifying his sexuality as homosexual. He kinda blames his mother for his extreme dislike for women. His classmates were all aware of his and avoided him for the most part, his sexuality as well as his social class serving as people repellent.
     - There was a non-professional boxer who lived in the apartment complex where Kittibun lived, not because he lacked money but because it was cheap, and he taught him how to box. Kittibun fell in love with the sport and often trained with the man, which is how he gained what muscle mass he has now.
     - Kittibun’s favorite food is black bean noodles and it’s his favorite dish to make. Other than that, he really likes spicy food and handles it surprisingly well.
     - Kittibun always carries around chapstick because his lips get chapped really easily. If he didn’t have the chapstick, he’d always be biting at the dried, cracked skin on his lips until they bled.
     - Kittibun absolutely hates when people try to tell him how to cook something when he already knows how to cook. If he’s in the kitchen, it’s best to avoid the kitchen altogether unless you’re prepared to stay in one place the entire time and not touch anything.
     - Kittibun really enjoys having meaningful conversations with people. He’s always willing to listen to people who need him.
     - Kittibun does not like peer pressure, whether it be towards him or someone else. He believes that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that no one should be forced or pressured into doing something they don’t want to do.

habits + fears + hobbies;
     - a habit of playing with the hem of his shirt and/or sleeves when nervous/uncomfortable

personality;
    DESPITE KITTIBUN’S FAIRLY lonely childhood, he has still somehow managed to maintain a happy and somewhat innocent persona. Don’t let this outside image fool you though. He’s still a nineteen-year-old boy and is so much more than how people view him; his “naive” mask hides his true persona. He’s fairly friendly though he isn’t a really straightforward person so it’s not often he’ll be the first to approach someone. It’s not like he doesn’t want to do so; his apparent lack of confidence just gets in the way. While he doesn’t do much of being the first to approach, he is a very approachable person. He just radiates with warmth and understanding, his lovely smile helping in drawing people to him.
     KITTIBUN IS AN extremely clumsy person and he tends to ramble a lot. He has a prominent lisp that he is very embarrassed about. While he really enjoys talking to people he considers his friends, he feels extremely self-conscious doing so because of his lisp and his habit of rambling. Because of this, he doesn’t talk as much unless he gets really absorbed in a conversation to the point where he temporarily forgets about his insecurity. Once this happens, he’s very talkative and actually quite funny. Paired with his rambling and lisp is clumsiness. He’s always tripping over or bumping into something or someone. He has zero coordination which often leads to his embarrassment.
     IT’S NOT UNCOMMON that people flock to Kittibun for advice or just someone to talk to. He naturally takes on a sort of parental aura whenever he feels someone is in need and is immediately at their side to comfort them, listen to them, and/or take care of them. Instead of being mother-like, he's more like the over-caring father who is constantly worried about his children, which is odd considering he's barely into adulthood. He cares way too much for the well-being of those around him and often sacrifices his own health in order to put others first. He’s quite selfless and would rather not bother people with his own “insignificant” problems. Again, this could lead to a deterioration in his health, both mental and physical. He holds everything in and hides his troubles behind the mask of a bright smile and kind eyes. Little do people know, he struggles so hard.
     KITTIBUN ONLY EVER had his mother and she was hardly ever around so he eventually developed severe anxiety stemming from loneliness and the paranoia of being completely abandoned. Being practically raised by his numerous neighbors in the small apartment complex helped a bit with this and kept him from being socially awkward. Although, they were unable to prevent his anxiety from continuing to plague him as he grew older. It wasn’t a rarity that he’d start thinking and let his thoughts get away from him only to lead to an anxiety or panic attack. He still continues to suffer through these attacks though he does well to hide the thoughts that run through his head.

backstory;
(This is really bad and short and vague. Ahhhh I'm sorry!)
     KITTIBUN TUNTAYAKUL WAS born and raised in the bustling city of Bangkok, Thailand to a single mother, being the product of a drunken one night stand. He regrets to say that he isn't really close to his mother seeing as the woman was always busy working in or drinking at one of the many clubs or bars. With only one source of income, the mother-son duo lived a small, rundown apartment complex. While it didn't look like much, all 30-something of the residents were all extremely close. It was as if they were all one huge family and that was exactly what the young Thai boy needed seeing as his mother was rarely around and his father was completely unknown, to him at least.
     AS KITTIBUN GREW older, he began to show obvious signs of severe anxiety and a fear of being completely alone. His doting neighbors were rightfully alarmed by this and confronted his mother in order to get him needed medical attention, all of them believing therapy to be the best option before it got too bad. She brushed off their worries, claiming that he perfectly fine since she didn't have insurance for him, meaning a doctor's visit would probably cost her their home. She wasn't going to sacrifice their home for one appointment. Kittibun was not and is not, by any means, a dumb person. He was well aware that there was something wrong with him. Breaking down because of his own thoughts was not something he'd deem as normal. Concerned for himself, he approached his neighbors for the definition of what he was suffering through, soon learning more and more about anxiety.
     KITTIBUN REACHED HIS teenage years and was quick to get a job at a restaurant down the road from the apartment complex, eager to make some cash of his own and hopefully save enough for pills to calm his anxiety and prevent his anxiety and panic attacks. He worked efficiently and was loved by the customers and his boss alike, often earning large tips as well as small raises. While this was a nice bonus to the work he put in, Kittibun grew impatient, a rarity for the usually patient boy, and wanted to earn more so he could get the proper medicine he needed. Eventually, his impatience reached an all-time high and resorted to other means to get what he wanted. He began stealing pills that'd help him from people. He got away with it for a while though, at eighteen, he was caught. He got into quite a bit of trouble for it and was given an ultimatum: go to jail or go to a "correctional camp". His mother instantly made the choice for him and was soon packing up what little he had to send him to Camp Komorebi in Japan.

thoughts of the others;
	↪ HIRO;
               Kittibun is quite fond and protective of HIRO because a) he’s the youngest and b) he’s socially awkward. He understands having a lack of social skills and makes it his goal to make things more comfortable for him as well as include him in things.
	↪ TADASHI;
               Kittibun feels for TADASHI since he’s constantly being embarrassed by the more rambunctious boys. Admittedly, he’ll throw in a comment to embarrass him as well but nothing too bad.
	↪ BAYMAX;
               Kittibun is quite fond of BAYMAX and appreciates what he does for them in terms of his motherliness. He does his best to not bother him with his issues, another show of him hiding his anxiety.
	↪ GO GO;
               Kittibun is a little intimidated by GO GO but he also finds him pretty cool. He probably wouldn’t say that out loud though.
	↪ WASABI;
               N/A
	↪ HONEY LEMON;
               Kittibun is also intimidated by HONEY LEMON. He doesn’t know exactly how to react with his eccentric and outspoken persona but he makes it work most of the time. He also probably argues with him the most about staying out of his kitchen when it comes to “chemist” stuff.
	↪ FRED;
                 Kittibun isn’t really annoyed by any of the guys but FRED comes the closest. It’s not like a “i’m annoyed and i hate you” thing though; it’s more of an endearing annoyed.

scene suggestions;
(I just put a few short ones whoops)
     - Kittibun chasing someone from the kitchen when they try to touch whatever he’s making.
     - One of the guys going to Kittibun for advice.
     - They all sit around and open up about their pasts and yeah bonding time

relationship with each other;
(short and awful but i had hw and i’m tired)
     The relationship between BAYMAX and Kittibun is soft and beneficial to the both of them. They both would hold a lot of care for each other and worry about each other often. Because Kittibun is reckless about his own wellbeing, it’s good that he has someone to watch out for him. BAYMAX seems like the character who would be able to see past the mask Kittibun puts up and be the person he can talk to about it. Despite popular belief, Kittibun is a touchy and loving person and would dote on BAYMAX a lot, being quite protective over him even though the latter is a force to be reckoned with when angry.

     This sucks and I’m sorry about that but yeahhhh
