Pingi (fanon biography)

Gabrielle Géraldine Pascal (born 18 July 1980) is a French-British actress, songwriter, and businesswoman. Pascal is the recipient of multiple accolades including the BAFTA Award and the Songberg Award. Born in Strasbourg, France, she was raised in Geneva and Strasbourg and attended Théâtre National de Strasbourg, which prompted her to act in many stage productions for much of her early career. She went to Zürich to audition in the television show Pingu as Pingi, the titular character's love interest, after a pen pal called her about the offer, which prompted her to fame. After graduating from University College London, Pascal continued to co-write for various artists well until both versions of Pingu, Swiss and British, were cancelled. Pascal started her own flower company, Fées Incorporated, after a name she picked in one of her compositions. She later moved to New York to spread her business abroad, and in 2014, she lent ownership of the company to her fellow employee and business partner Jeanette Brandt, whom she had known since her days in university. Pascal is currently executive officer of Fées Incorporated and is a market holder in multi-franchise company Horatio's By the Book.

Early life
Pascal was born on 18 July 1980 in Strasbourg, France, as the youngest of three children born to Celia Ines (née Dupont) and Girard Joseph Pascal. Because her grandparents wanted to live a better life and, from her father's side, escape from Nazi rule, both migrated to New York City. Her father is from France, while her mother is French from Geneva. Her grandparents knew each other as they were acquaintances at a friend's wedding, and maintained contact with each other, though she maintained that her families moved to different places and that her parents did not meet well until they encountered each other at a restaurant. They did not return to Strasbourg until the 1950s. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler and spent her childhood in Geneva and Strasbourg, calling this experience "one of the moments in [her] life that made her open up to the outside world".

Pascal had a penchant for acting and would often stage plays with her siblings, inspired by her frequenting of movies and cassette films she would watch, often for hours at a time. Pascal attended Lycée de Moritz Frankenburg.
