She grew up in Porto Alegre, not Rio, which already complicates the shorthand people reach for when they describe her. She studied at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul and graduated with a degree in Pedagogy and Psychopedagogy — the discipline concerned with how children learn and develop. She taught kindergarten for eight years. The job ended, the circumstances of which she hasn't publicly detailed, and she moved into sex work as a call girl before a chance encounter at a nightclub with a performer named Don Picone turned into an invitation that changed her trajectory. She was already in her thirties when she started. She has been married twice and has a daughter. She announced retirement after a few years of working, then quietly came back — no grand statement, no relaunch campaign. What she has said about the gap between her education, her early career, and what she chose to do next is very little. That silence is probably the most interesting thing about her.
