Sporting relatives:

Her father Yannick has served as the president of the Judo Club Realmontais in France, and her brother Yohan has played rugby at domestic level in Austria. (ladepeche.fr, 06 Feb 2015)

Other sports:

She competed in athletics [heptathlon] at junior regional level in France. She represented France in rugby union [15-a-side] at the World Cup in 2014 and 2017.

2012 for France (ladepeche.fr, 08 Feb 2014)

She first played rugby in 2002 in Brandenburg, Germany. (ladepeche.fr, 06 Feb 2015)

She initially took up the sport with her brother Yohan. Her mother did not want her to compete in a rough sport, so she competed in athletics throughout school before returning to rugby in high school. The claiming of spaces, frequent contact with the ball and the lack of interruption in the gameplay are what attracted her to sevens. (ladepeche.fr, 08 Feb 2014; NOC Media Guide, 08 Aug 2016)

New Zealand rugby union player Jonah Lomu, French rugby union player Jennifer Troncy. (20minutes.fr, 13 Aug 2014; ffr.fr, 01 Jan 2020)

Philosophy:

"[On differences between rugby sevens and rugby union] I love both but one has nothing to do with the other. For me, it's almost two different sports." (rugbyaufeminin.com, 29 Jan 2021)

She was named Scrumqueens' Young Player of the Year in 2014. (scrumqueens.com, 09 Jun 2016)

JERSEY DESIGN
She holds a degree in graphic design and was asked by France's team manager to work with the kit manufacturer on the 2021 jersey design for the men and women's national sevens teams. She came up with a theme of rooster feathers on the back and front of the jersey. "They [kit manufacturer] took the idea of the rooster and worked on several different designs. Then, they exchanged with me so that we could discuss their different proposals and the materials of the jersey." (rugbyaufeminin.com, 19 Feb 2021)

LIFE ABROAD
Born in London, England, she grew up in Germany before moving to France in 2003. (ladepeche.fr, 06 Feb 2015)
