Childhood
Marie-Thérèse‘s childhood goes back to when she was just born. On a cold stormy night on June 14, 1752 She was the first-born to Marie Célia de Bade and Jean-François de Bade de Höchberg de Sausenbourg. Her mother passed out of exhaustion and didn’t wake till morning.

During her childhood, she was pushed around by her father and mother. They taught her the etiquette in court and how she should behave. They needed to prepare her for court. But her father didn’t pay attention like her mother. He wanted Marie-Thérèse to be a boy, and barely speaks to her. Her mother though would always pick flowers with Marie after lunch. She had a strong relationship with her mother, and would remain like that. 2 years into her life her baby sister was born. Marie Renée and Marie Thérèse spent days playing with each other. Everyday they would wake each other up at 6 in the morning to play outside. This would soon become 3 people, when their brother was born in 1757. In 1765, her mother gave birth to a baby girl. Her mother was diagnosed with preeclampsia by the doctor and shortly suffocated after birth. These were hard times, because not only did her mother die, but so did the baby. They mourned for 2 months.

In her education Marie-Thérèse was a smart girl. She was interested in reading and writing, because her favorite tutor would pick the best and hardest books and would challenge her. She always won the challenges, and her tutor gave her a diary to write her life in when she was 15. She still writes everyday at the end of the day, and refuses to show it to anyone.
