Biography
Kéfera was born and raised in Curitiba, where she completed her primary and secondary education. She was raised in a Catholic family.[3] Buchmann is the daughter of Zeiva (Zeivanez) Buchmann, who works in advertising.[4] After kindergarten, she completed her education in a Catholic school,[3] the same which her mother's studied.[5] In high school she was torn between studying dentistry, psychology or chemical engineering, but ended up not majoring in any of these areas.[6]
She studied theater for five years.[7] Kéfera got her actress record in 2013, earning the highest possible score.[8] Her name, "Kéfera", is of Egyptian origin and means "first morning sunshine".[8] During her high school years, Kéfera was very devoted to St. Anthony (a Catholic Saint).[9] Kéfera is bilingual, being fluent in English in addition to her native language Portuguese. She has also worked as an English teacher.[10]
Kéfera suffered bullying when she was younger.
"I hated going to school. I cried every day. And blamed me for growing (both chronologically and to the sides). I thought that if I wasn't getting older, I wouldn't have to face school. I wished I could stay in kindergarten forever. And I did not know what to expect."[11]
