Conditional: If your character is 13 years of age or under, please clarify how they will be played.
What form will your character's NV take? It’ll be razor thin, and about the average size of a piece of letter-writing paper. It will be able to be folded into quarters so that Eponine can store it in her pocket.

History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: Eponine was born into a reasonably affluent family towards the end of the French Revolution. Her father kept an inn and fleeced his customers, which kept his family in plenty of clothes and food. Eponine’s mother was very, very proud of her daughter, and made sure that Eponine was well dressed at all times. Eponine learned the tricks of the con trade from her parents; she was always involved with their scams, and was taught well by her Papa how to make people pay. She didn't even realise it was wrong and as a result, grew up with a twisted sense of morality.
Another little girl lived with the family; her name was Cosette and she had been left with the family when Cosette’s mother, Fantine, asked the Thenardiers to look after Cosette for her – for a fee, of course. Eponine’s parents taught Eponine to be horrible to Cosette, and she was – she bullied Cosette – made her put her hand in the fire place, pulled her hair, wouldn’t let Cosette touch her toys. Eponine was queen of her little world, petted and praised by her parents and their patrons alike.
Eponine’s world changed when she was about eight. A man came and took Cosette away, and everything went downhill after that for the Thenardier family. Within the next nine years, they had lost their inn, and had had to relocate to the St. Michel region of Paris, where they lived in a single roomed garret. The Thenardiers had another child, a little boy, called Gavroche, who they sent out to live on the streets. Eponine, at least, was allowed to stay at home; she slept under an old coat on a mattress beneath the broken window.
As Eponine grew up, her father began to use her in his gang. She was made to look out for the police whilst the Patron Minette went on the rob. She was used as a messenger by the gang too, delivering philanthropic notes to wealthy men who might spare her a few crumbs. As she grew older still, she was forced into prostitution by her father. The novel implies that she was a prostitute, and was in an abusive relationship with one particular member of the Patron Minette – a murderer named Montparnasse. It is Montparnasse, the majority of times, who fetches Eponine for her father and keeps her in line with the gang.
As she got older, too, Eponine became more of an inconvenience to her family. She was just another mouth to feed, and after almost ten years of living rough, Eponine didn’t even make much money to pay her way. Scrawny and undersized, filthy dirty and dressed in rags – Eponine was one of the last prostitutes to be taken.
At some point within the last year, a boy moved into the room next to the Thenardier's; he was called Marius and Eponine grew to love him– he treated her as an equal, and wanted to talk to her. She laughed in his company, and even flirted a little. She followed the students everywhere; they were all reasonably good to her, gave her food and the like, but it was Marius who knew her name. She wasn’t afraid to tell Marius things. She was sure he would look after her. She listened to the students talk of the Revolution and joined in with their campaigns, just so that she could be with Marius. He didn't notice her.
One particular day, Eponine was listening to Marius and Enjolras as usual, and noticed Marius talking to a rich old man. She discerned that they were related and confronted him in his room, telling him that she knew he only pretended to be poor. She flirts with him and is disappointed when, once more, he brushes her aside.
In the streets of St. Michel one day, Eponine is posted as a look-out for her father and the gang. They begin to accost a wealthy looking man – the man who took Cosette away so many years ago. Eponine half-watches, but soon spots Javert and gives the warning cry. The Patron Minette scarper, and Eponine begins to run, warning Marius to stay out of the way or he’d end up in trouble. As he runs after her, he bumps into Cosette, and Eponine can only watch, dismayed, as the two are obviously attracted to each other. He doesn’t give Eponine another glance. Eponine, having heard her parents talk, realises that the girl is Cosette, and mourns what she, Eponine, has become.
She is absolutely delighted when Marius asks her to do a favour for him, and thrilled when he catches her arm. - until she realises what he wants of her. She calls Cosette a 'bourgeois two-a-penny thing', but cannot dissuade him, and asks him what he'll give to her when she finds Cosette. Marius offer her money, but she tells him that is not what she wants. Marius hurries on his way, and Eponine is left by herself to reflect on all the things she knows; how to conduct herself on the streets and fleece money, and how much she doesn't know about being the type of girl Marius would love.
Later that day, Eponine turns up at the Cafe Musain as the students and Gavroche plot their revolution. She signals to Marius that she wishes to talk to him, and leads him to Cosette's house. He is ecstatic and laughs, which makes Eponine laugh; he even swings her around and holds her by the waist, which makes her so happy; the happiest she is for the entire film. He leaves her alone whilst he goes to meet Cosette, and Eponine follows him at a distance, singing about her love for him, and how he will never love her.
She sings regretfully that Marius was never hers to lose, and that she would have been his, had he asked. She admits that she’s not destined for a happy life, and waits outside the garden fence whilst Marius meets with Cosette, all the while trying to convince herself to move on from him. When Cosette goes inside, Marius walks past Eponine without even noticing that she's still there.
For a minute, she looks on, but then her attention is diverted by the Patron Minette, who turn up to rob Valjean, Cosette’s adopted father. Eponine bumps into Montparnasse, who reveals the plan. Eponine panics. She goes to find her father, who at first doesn’t recognise her, and then tells her to go away. Eponine screws up her courage and screams as loudly as she can, causing the Patron Minette to ‘get underground’. Thenardier threatens Eponine that she’ll be made to scream. She spits at her father, completely hating him at the moment, and he slaps her hard across the face before running. Eponine herself is thrown to the ground by the slap, but soon rights herself and runs off into the shadows as police appear.
She watches the house, and sees Cosette slip a note into the gate, which Eponine takes and reads. It's for Marius, telling him that Valjean is making Cosette leave Paris. She crumples the note, and walks back home as the rain begins to fall.
Eponine is effectively homeless now; she’s no longer welcome at her garret and she has been marked out by the Patron Minette as someone to keep away from. She wanders the streets, and listens to the students planning an uprising. Though she knows her love is hopeless, she still wants to be near Marius. She sings of being by herself, and of facing the upcoming battle by herself. She goes resolutely into her old home, soaking wet from the rain. She reads the letter once more and hides it, before opening Marius' door to tell him that Cosette is gone to England, and watches his grief silently.
Eponine makes a drastic decision then; she knows that the revolution is to begin, and so she rips up her skirt and uses the material to bind her breasts flat. She's stolen clothes from somewhere and dresses as a boy, and scrunches her hair up beneath an old hat. Thus disguised, she heads for LeMarque's funeral procession and joins in the protests, walking along with the carriage and looking up adoringly at Marius. When the fighting begins, she runs with the others to the barricade and helps to build it and give out weapons. She isn't noticed by Marius at first.
As the students prepare to fight at the barricade,Marius notices her, and he tells her to go away, but she says that she isn’t scared of the battle, and wants to stay with him. Marius' attention is diverted by the arrival of Javert in disguise, and Eponine watches the encounter. It is Gavroche who points out who Javert is, though Eponine looks as if she recognises him too. Javert is taken away, but the barricade is soon under attack.
Eponine fires a gun, but doesn't hit anybody. She stands at the side, well concealed by the barricade. She does however, notice Marius climbing higher and higher becoming more and more exposed and she sees the soldier pointing the gun at him. Rather than Marius die, Eponine climbs quickly and throws herself in front of Marius, knocking him out of the way, and clamps her hand over the mouth of the gun. The soldier shoots, and Eponine takes a bullet through the hand, and it goes on to enter her chest and go through her back. She falls from the barricade immediately, and lands in a heap on the floor. She is not dead, however, and she tries to stop the bleeding with her cap, though her efforts are futile.
Marius eventually recognises her without her cap, and goes to kneel at Eponine's side. She struggles to remove the letter she had concealed, but she hands it to him, asking him not to be too hard on her. He realises that Eponine is bleeding profusely and tries his best to comfort her. She admits that she concealed the letter and tells him not to worry about her, and she dies in his arms. After her death, the students vow to fight in her name and her body is carried into one of the alley ways to be kept safe. Gavroche witnesses the whole thing, and finally admits that Eponine was his sister.
Eponine, as a ghost, watches Marius in the chapel as Valjean dies, and she welcomes him, with Fantine, to the afterlife, proving that she is ultimately a good person and reached salvation. With the rest of the fallen, she stands forever on the barricades now, fighting for equality in a new France.
Point in Canon: NEW CANON POINT: Eponine is going to be taken from the moment she is shot. She will clamp her hand around the gun, which will fire, and instead of falling to the floor of France, she'll fall from the barricade and into Sirens.
Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history: N/A
Character Personality: Eponine is… she’s tough. She’s had to be. She has grown up in a hostile environment, where the philosophy of ‘every man for himself’ is predominant. She knows how to stand up for herself, and she is not one to back down in an argument. She carries herself well, and can talk to most people. She’s not much use in a fight, and relies more on her tongue to get out of situations.She’s hard to scare, and in adverse situations, can hide her feelings remarkably well.
Some would describe Eponine as cold – but she’s not, not really. It’s a show, an act she puts on, so people don’t try to mess her about. In reality, Eponine is an emotional little creature. She’s completely in love with Marius, a student, who doesn’t return, or even acknowledge her feelings. Eponine craves love though. It’s what drives her. Show her any hint of kindness, and she becomes a lapdog, eager to please and willing to do anything, even if it causes her physical or emotional pain. She wants attention.
Eponine is defiant. She hates what her father makes her do, but she has to participate. Still, she does it all with a glare in her eyes and her mouth pressed into a hard line. She does what she has to do to survive. She can be incredibly manipulative, if she thinks she will gain from it. She is incredibly brave and doesn’t seem to have a great sense of personal danger. Eponine will face any adversity that comes to her head on; it is not really in her nature to hide. And she will face her fate with a straight back and a defiant glare. Nobody will feel pity for Eponine. She is brave till the very end.
Eponine is loyal. If she feels obliged to someone, she will bow to their will, whether she agrees with their actions or not. She is more loyal to those who show affection towards her than those who intimidate her, though. A lot of the time, she’s scared and she’s wary, and she has the same cautious expression as a hunted animal. She doesn’t consider herself to be at all beautiful; she thinks she’s disgusting, and that she doesn’t deserve a happy life. She is somewhat bitter, especially towards those better off than her. Jealousy is one of Eponine’s biggest failures. She desperately wants a better life, but knows she will never have one.
Eponine is sweet. She likes flowers; she finds them soothing after the horrors of Paris. She is somewhat of a dreamer, and likes to imagine herself as a proper lady, dancing with Marius. She can’t let the people she loves end up hurt. She’d literally rather take a bullet for them than let them be injured. Her mother says she is a waste of space, but she isn’t really. She just… She wants to be able to learn. She wants to study with the scholars, but she knows that’ll never be. She can just about read and write her name, and is very proud of these facts. It takes her a while to read, and longer to write anything beyond ‘Eponine’ and ‘the police are coming’. She’s very intelligent, and picks things up quickly. She is very street smart, and has the potential to be book smart too.
Steadfast is a word to describe her; she'll stick to the people she likes, no matter what they ask of her.
Eponine is naturally proud. She doesn’t want to be pitied, and hates the fact that people do pity her. She’s playful, and somewhat of a tease when she’s around people she’s comfortable with. With strangers, she’s more reserved, wary of ending up in trouble. Her speech is often colloquial; only when she talks of love does she become more poetic.
In all, Eponine craves affection. She wants to love and be loved. She wants a happy life. She wants Marius. She wants pretty dresses and a bath and the opportunity to learn. But she has no hope that she’ll ever get any of this. It’s there, she can see it, but for Eponine, it is going to be forever out of reach. And she’s accepted that. And she will face her fate bravely.
Conditional: Personality development in previous game: N/A
Character Plans: I don’t have any particular plans for Eponine. But I absolutely love plots – and this comm. strikes me as being very plot heavy. I like that, and I can’t wait to jump in. Eponine will naturally be drawn to the underworld, I think. All she knows is the seedy side of life – though she desperately wants to be part of the students’ world in canon. I think, though, in a strange city, she’d stick with what she knows. Slink back into the shadows and try to find help that way. I think she’s most likely to end up with AGI, either singing or working in a brothel, or generally doing their bidding.
