She is the first child of her parents and her mother was the single mother who brought her and her sister up. Her father was a married man who came from a much wealthier family who did little to help them financially and was largely an absent figure in their upbringing, only visiting the children a couple of times a year. Her mother is called Madeleine Hardy and her father is Étienne Dillard.

At the insistence of their father, Hardy and her sister went to a Catholic school called Institution La Bruyère, under the tutelage of Trinitarian nuns. The gap of social origin between Hardy and her classmates was a source of permanent humiliation for her.
