Jena Malone

Rodrigo Alves was born to the parents of a Brazilian mother and the British father on the 30th of July 1983 in Sao Paulo. Her father, Roserval Alves, hailed from an ethnically Portuguese family who arrived in Brazil in the early 1940s. The family was initially involved in farming, but they expanded into retailing and shopping centres. Her grandfather purchased Barbie dolls for her when she was just a child. While Alves was assigned male at birth, at "the the age of 3, four, five, six" she believed she was be female, played with dolls and cross-dressed. The belief she holds is that gender does not define individuals. She was a shy child and was shy and bullied. Alves had to endure bullying as a teenager because she had hormone dysfunction. The excess estrogen in her body caused the breast tissue to expand. Alves is the daughter of a family who owns numerous Brazilian food stores, which have made their wealth. But, Alves is yet to gain any profit from these stores as of 2018. Alves was able to move to London in the year she turned 18 she studied public relations at the London College of Communication. Her maternal grandmother left her money.
