Ryan was born in Huntsville, Alabama.[2] She is a Christian and has performed in churches, theater performance groups and talent competitions.[2] Her father was in the military, so she often moved to different places in Europe. She lived in Germany until she was 10 and can speak German and English. She started performing in professional theaters at the age of seven on an American base in Germany.[8] She found she loved acting.
She returned to the United States at the age of 10 in 2003 and was raised in Texas.[8][9] She dreamed of acting full-time. In a 2009 People Magazine interview, she described herself as a "nerd" in school.[8] Ryan was bullied in middle school for being a mascot and in the school's chess club.[10]
Ryan has an older brother, Chase (who is older than her by approximately two years).[citation needed] He is a guitarist and vocalist. In a March 2009 interview, Ryan said her older brother is one of her role models.
