HISTORY.

born from a passionate love affair, euprhaise to félix tholomyès and his mistress, fantine on march 18th in the year 1815. fantine nicknamed her “cosette,” meaning, “little thing.”

when she was three years old, her father abandoned her love. fantine left cosette under the care of innkeepers, monsieur and madame thénardier. the moment her mother left, the innkeepers showed their true selves and intentions. cosette was treated horribly by them. only a child, she was treated more like a misused maid.

until christmas of 1823 when jean valjean saved her. he gave her the doll she’d been eyeing in the window, who she named catherine.

to escape from his past, jean valjean took the name fauchelevent which became cosette’s surname. while he worked as a gardener, cosette studied at the convent school.

at the age of fourteen, she had grown into a beautiful young woman and valjean moved them into rue plummet. cosette took up gardening, a small look into the world. she and her papa continued to do charity work, handing out coins to beggars and feeding the hungry.

three years later, cosette fell in love with marius pontmercy, a revolutionary she met briefly at the gardens. they introduced themselves. but when cosette returned to her father, he was suspicious of the young man and warned her not to see him again.

a letter from a beggar man inspired valjean and cosette to bring warm clothes and money they didn't have to their apartment. but upon finding their home, cosette recognized the family as her former abusers. stricken by cold fear, cosette tried to warn her father. they get away. cosette begged him not to return as he said he would, but valjean insisted it was the only way to get them off their back. valjean returned, hurting from whatever happened; he spared cosette the details.

valjean left for a few days, leaving cosette behind. but one night, after receiving a letter, marius pontmercy arrived. they met up every night. valjean is alarmed by a scream and moves himself and cosette to their apartment, intending to move them to england. cosette begged him not to. she wrote a letter to marius, telling him of where she was.

the next day, the june rebellion began. marius wrote a letter back, but it never got to her. instead, valjean reads the letter and goes to find marius. he saved his life. cosette did everything she could to help marius as he mourned his friends and healed from his wounds. he proposed and she accepted.

the day of their wedding was bittersweet. before the ceremony, valjean disappeared. marius told her he went on a journey far away. it broke her heart to not have her beloved father at her wedding. afterwards, marius took her to a convent where cosette got to see her father again before he died.
