## Early life and education

Pavan was born on 14 March 2000 in Buisain, a suburb of Dilles, to parents Robert (born 1976) and Patricia Pavan (née *Chopowski*; born 1976), who were unmarried at the time of her birth. Her father is a marine biologist from Vetica, who was studying at the École supérieure de Dilles at the time of her birth, while her mother is a yoga instructor of Zatranian origin from the Grand-Nord department. Through her maternal ancestry, she is descended from Zatranians who immigrated to Marone in the 1930s. Following her father's graduation with his doctoral degree in 2003, the family relocated to Dax after her father became employed at Côte Turquoise University. In 2011, the family relocated to Cestia in Vetica, where Pavan was raised, after her father began working at the University of Vetica Bernardo-Ariole. Pavan is an only child.

Pavan began her education in 2005, attending public schooling in Dax. While in school, Pavan was a gifted student, and aspired to pursue academia like her father, with a particular interest for the humanities. After relocating to Cestia in 2011, Pavan enrolled in bilingual schooling and learned the Vetican language. She graduated from primary school in 2012, and later completed *collège* as well in 2015. Pavan subsequently enrolled in a *lycée académique* program at Lycée Chambon Vetica, considered to be the most prestigious *lycée* in Vetica, where she studied economics and social sciences. Pavan graduated with honors in 2018, and afterwards completed a CPGE program at the school in business, graduating in 2020. After the completion of the course, Pavan relocated to Delmas to enroll in School of Luxury and Fashion Business, a *grande école*, graduating with a bachelor's degree in fashion business in 2021, and a master's degree in 2023.
