Patricia grew up in a middle-class family alongside her two sisters in Tres de Maio, Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil.

With no one but themselves, Patricia's childhood entertainment came from Gisele and their older sister, whom she referred to as the Three Musketeers. Recalling her younger years, Patricia said:

"Unlike me, Gisele was very talkative, and she wasn't afraid to be away from home for some time, even when she was little."

Patricia, on the other hand, was quiet and reserved. However, she was active in different ways, such as ballet and gymnastics. She and her sisters did everything together, including participating in a modeling course.
