1) When they first were dating, Ginger tried to impress Nadia by saying she spoke French, not knowing Nadia was from a francophone town in New Brunswick, and bilingual. When she asked for a demonstration, Ginger panicked and tried to remember the only French she knew, “We’re All in This Together” from a badly dubbed French bootleg of High School Musical she found in a Brooklyn thrift store when she was 12.
(Nadia cites that as one of the first moments she realized she was in love with Ginger).
2) Ginger’s name isn’t actually Ginger. Her parents were guilted into naming her after her mother’s great aunt, who was on death’s door when she was born (and then still managed to live another seven years). They hated the name, but also kind of dug their own grave by complaining to family that they couldn’t agree on a name for her. When she was finally born, one of the first things her parents saw was all her freckles and bright red hair, and nicknamed her “Ginger” because of it, and it stuck.
(The only people who know her legal name are her immediate family + Doc, because it was on her school records. Nadia doesn’t even know it until she’s forced to use it at their wedding. Even then, she legally changes her name a month later to “Ginger Perley” to finally rid herself of that dreadful name).
(Ginger herself describes her birth name as “A mistake on par with Mask 2: Son of Mask, but, like, there’s no Alan Cumming to at least make it a little more bearable”).
