✒ IC Name: Eponine Thenardier (though she’ll give her name as Eponine Jondrette too) Canon: Les Miserables Canon Point: The end of the chapter called ‘The Watch Dog), which is basically when she leads Marius to Cosette, and prevents her father and his gang from robbing Cosette’s house. In the musical (though I am going off the book canon, this might be a helpful reference point if you’ve not trawled through the novel) this equates to ‘A Heart Full of Love’, followed by ‘The Attack on the Rue Plumet’. Age: Eponine’s age is unclear. Hugo gives her various ages, from 16 through to 18. She is said to look older than what she actually is, ‘a hideous mix of fifteen and fifty’, apparently.
Personality: Eponine began life as a spoiled brat. She was an odious child, with long, dark braids and a plump, pretty face, dressed in the best clothes her mother could provide. Doted on and indulged by everyone, including the drunkards in the inn, Eponine grew used to getting her own way in everything. And she absolutely loved to show off in front of Cosette and make her jealous. She actively sought to get Cosette in trouble with her mother and found it funny when the poor little girl was beaten. She also established herself as a leader; her little sister looked up to her in admiration and followed Eponine’s lead. It was clear that at this early age, Eponine ruled the roost.
With her dramatic lifestyle shift, so too did her personality change. It was forced to. It is impossible to chart the events which made her personality change, because of the ten year gap in the narration of her tale, but it is, of course, possible to see how her personality affects her actions when the narrative begins again.
