Early life and education

Scúdhainn was born in the city of Óc Eo to a semi-aristocratic background; her father, Fúnchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Óc Eo; her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a socialite, classical ŋamas player and teacher; her father's brother, Lothair, was a lawyer. A precocious tomboy, early on she was taught mathematics and ŋamas by her parents; however, she was by and large self-taught, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries and music to listen to and analyze. She entered the University of Óc Eo at age 15 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics.
