Early life

Her parents were both English college professors. Her mother, Ann Reynolds, taught the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer, while her father, Michael South Reynolds, was an authority on the life of Ernest Hemingway.

The atmosphere in the family home was bohemian, with artists and scholars gathering for deep conversation and socializing. Yseult's parents took her and her sister to many artistic events.

Before her days as a b*ist, Yseult studied fine art and ballet while attending North Carolina School of the Arts for high school.
