I’ve talked about it before, but it’s so sad/frustrating how Jean Valjean is the kind of person who will like…. buy Cosette presents “to take her mind off things” instead of talking to her openly. He doesn’t try to help Cosette understand as much as he tries to “bring her back to happiness” by giving her gifts.

She’s upset over seeing the chain gang, and instead of answering her questions he takes her to a great fun festival the next day to keep her mind off it.

She’s upset over his behavior in the end of the book, and his response is to dodge her questions and interrupt to encourage her to buy fun little fripperies and pieces of furniture:

“It is cold here. One cannot see distinctly. It is abominable, that it is, to wish to be Monsieur Jean! I will not have you say ‘you’ to me.”

“Just now, as I was coming hither,” replied Jean Valjean, “I saw a piece of furniture in the Rue Saint Louis. It was at a cabinet-maker’s. If I were a pretty woman, I would treat myself to that bit of furniture. A very neat toilet table in the reigning style. What you call rosewood, I think. It is inlaid. The mirror is quite large. There are drawers. It is pretty.”

Cosette sincerely wants to know about these darker more tragic aspects of the world and her own life, but Jean Valjean keeps showering her with all these gifts that represent shallow bourgeois respectability instead, not understanding that they don’t actually make her happy.

It’s just

“Can we talk about why you’ve stopped callling yourself my father and seem to no longer be eating? I’m worried that you’re in a bad state and are hurting yourself.”

“Let’s not talk about that—what if you bought a magnificent table instead? :3 wouldn’t that make you happier?”

Have they broken any bones?

Are they a night owl, or morning bird?

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprise?

Do they like to wear jewelery?

Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

What are the two emotions they feel the most?

Do they have a favourite fabric?

What kind of accent do they have?

handing you the questions here to make life easier, i'll answer for rue under the cut :3

What common/uncommon fear do they have?

fear of being abandoned. (she's just like me frrrr). pre-tadpole rue forms very strong attachments (see: her father. gortash.) and after being left alone many times before in her youth, she really struggles with the idea of being tossed aside

post-tadpole rue has a big fear of forgetting everything again. she's made lovely memories and writes down everything she does in extreme detail in case she ever wakes up without them again

Do they have any pet peeves?

people being too loud. she gets really bad headaches and will yell at people if they are being loud for no reason

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

1. the current book she is reading

2. a warm jumper in case she gets cold

3. her diary

What do they notice first in a person?

their eyes. easy to work out how they're feeling and useful to exploit later on

On a scale from 1-10, how high is their pain tolerance?

10. i like to think there's been many times while travelling that rue has definitely broken an arm and she doesn't realise it until it starts bruising up (and then she reluctantly goes to shadowheart and asks her to fix it)

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?

fight. when in doubt, fight your way out! her go to tactic in game is to intimidate others to get what she wants but if that doesnt work? start a fight. physical or verbal, doesnt matter

Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?

rue doesnt remember her upbringing but she had two foster siblings (both older than her!) she's very much a found family person. has a lot of issues with herself and the thought of being a mother, but happily adopts arabella and yenna (as well as the tiefling children from the grove) along their travels. i like to think yenna visits rue and gale in waterdeep as she gets older.

What animal represents them best?

cat. despite her being dog coded, she is a cat character to me. likes her space, a little nervous, gets the zoomies

What is a smell they dislike?

one of gortash's perfumes. it was thick and rich and had a horrible musky scent to it that kept making her sneeze. so he changes to the nicer, milder vanilla and rosewood :3

Have they broken any bones?

yes. turning into the slayer requires a lot of bones to crack to allow room for growth.

How would a stranger likely describe them?

off-putting. weird. quiet.

Are they a night owl, or morning bird?

night owl!! rue does NOT like mornings. pre tadpole she will sleep in until noon if the world lets her. post tadpole she is a napper. gale comes home from work and finds her napping in the living room with the evening sun on her

What’s a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

hate: anything overly sour.

love: salty things (adds extra salt to gale's food and he has a heart attack)

Do they have any hobbies?

too many!! post game rue has a lot of hobbies she picks up to keep the Dark Thoughts At Bay. she loves gardening, pottery and embroidery the most!!

their home in waterdeep is covered in things rue has made. hanging up in the living room above the fireplace is a painting of tara rue did that she absolutely hates but gale adores. he frames it and his mother has asked for one as well.

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprise?

she cries (of happiness). i like to think the first year after the absolute crisis is over, gale plans a big surprise party and everyone's there. rue comes home from getting groceries, sees all her friends in her home and just bursts into tears.

Do they like to wear jewelery?

yes! she loves earrings (changes the little swords gortash gave her as a gift a few years after his death, but keeps them tucked away as a little reminder of him) now she has little star ones that she adores! (a gift from morena)

Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

MESSY!!!!! she's just like me fr!! pre & post tadpole, that girl has such bad handwriting! sometimes she cant read it herself :')

What are the two emotions they feel the most?

love and guilt.

Do they have a favourite fabric?

she loooves a good velvet. warm and fancy and reminds her a bit of gortash

silk, too. again, reminds her of gortash.

What kind of accent do they have?

she's tav 4 in game, so i guess a little posh? i think ive described her voice as "sophisticated" before. soft and gentle spoken which adds to the creepiness of the horrible things she says :)

this was so fun!!! i love yapping about rue. girlie lives in my head rent free :) please help me get her out!!

Cosette is a joy! Just imagine how much better the life could have been if only Cosette's men took her seriously, if they explained the problem to her. For her, unlike Marius, Valjean is a human being and her father, regardless of his past. But no—one is overwhelmed by self-loathing and self-destruction, the other by class prejudices. Poor Cosette must be utterly confused by this radical change in her father’s behaviour. Of course, he had his peculiarities before, but this is too much, especially when the cause of these changes is unknown: he refuses to kiss and embrace her, addresses her ‘vous,’ insists on been called ‘Monsieur Jean,’ stating that Cosette doesn’t need a father. All of this must have hurt Cosette deeply. No wonder she starts questioning her happiness: “Are you angry with me because I am happy?” And this is the only thing that shook Valjean and made him react momentarily as a loving father.

Valjean’s quest to slowly self-destruction begins: “Jean Valjean was fatigued. For days he had neither eaten nor slept.”

And this passage—something Valjean says—makes me giggle, despite the sad context: “I saw a piece of furniture in the Rue Saint Louis. It was at a cabinet-maker’s. If I were a pretty woman, I would treat myself to that bit of furniture. A very neat toilet table in the reigning style. What you call rosewood, I think. It is inlaid. The mirror is quite large. There are drawers. It is pretty.” Of course, you would treat yourself to this! We already know about Valjean’s strange taste in furniture and design from the way he decorated Cosette’s room and the whole house on the Rue de l’Homme Armé. And it’s so queer!

@aurorabayaesthetic

Full Name: Ruby Raine Faye MacMillon Nickname(s): Ruby, Rue, Ru-ru, Rubes Age: 29 Birthday: May 12th, 1995 Astrological Sign: Taurus Place of Birth: Mount Pearl, Newfoundland Parents: Clark & Margaret Grace MacMillon (61 & 54) Siblings: N/A Children: Zelda Young (3) & Penelope MacMillon (18 months) Pets: Hank (4 year old mutt) *Relationships: Forrest Young (29) - Late Husband - deceased Scars: A large one down the majority of her left leg Tattoos: A small heart behind her right ear Other Physical Distinctions: Slightly larger “bunny-like” teeth Sexual Orientation & Gender: Bisexual and Biromantic ;; Ciswoman Occupation: Global History Teacher @ Aurora Bay High School & Writer for 'HERstorical fashions' *subject to change as roles are taken

bullet points

tw: very brief mentions of - domestic violence/marital SA/emotional abuse, death, violence, talk of murder, talk of capital punishment

○ the story of ruby raine macmillon starts before she even graced this world with her parents stories. clarkson "clark" macmillon was born in tennessee to a very impoverished family. a charming yet conniving boy, he grew up always getting into trouble. a traditional job was never for him and his tricky ways landed him in mount pearl, newfoundland as he was hiding out from some guys he had ripped off when he was thirty-two. that's where he met margaret grace rosewood: a young up-and-coming singer who was a part of a very affluent family and happened to be seven years his junior. their romance was quick and passionate and resulted in a pregnancy. however, this was one shotgun wedding that would last as clark and maggie-grace truly were each other's soulmates (even if her parents disowned her and she lost her record deal (causing her to just be another one-hit wonder)). nine months later, on a mild spring afternoon in may, ruby raine faye macmillon was welcomed into their newly formed family.

○ ruby raine's first name is technically ruby raine (not just ruby). it comes from the song her mother got her fifteen minutes of fame from, in which a lyric reads "[our love] would be as magical, as unique as ruby rain". her middle name is to honor the only family member clark ever kept in touch with: his aunt faye. ruby is well aware her full name is a mouthful and prefers to just shorten it to ruby or rue.

○ her childhood in newfoundland was nothing special, but it was also the kind of childhood she would still look back fondly on. her mother went back to school to get her master's in music theory as she wanted to focus more on arranging scores than becoming a manufactured pop singer anyway. she would eventually settle into music education. her father? well, though he did settle down for margaret grace, he still wasn't one to keep down a job. ruby is pretty sure her father has had every minimum-wage, entry-level job you could have. but she never minded. it usually meant more time with dad anyway. he would eventually find that he was very skilled and absolutely enamored with woodworking which eventually became is vocation.

○ with a mother who prioritized educational vacations over purely entertainment-focused vacations, ruby would soon fall in love with the history of the world around her. especially the fashion and beauty regimes of yesteryear. she was that girl in middle school/high school who wore thrifted clothes, pin curls, and a bold red lip to every class.

○ ruby is a certified 'daddy's girl'. she loves her mother dearly, but her father is truly her kindred spirit. maggie grace would always joke that she just gave birth to his 'little mini girl' and she was the odd man out. but she was thankful for their close relationship (it meant mom could actually get some rest for once!).

○ the macmillon's moved to arbor mill, texas in 2009 when ruby was a freshman in high school. her mother had been offered a job at the local college that was far too good and made far too much to pass up. the move was a bit jarring to the young girl but she soon got over the 'new kid blues' and found a solid group of friends. one of which was the middle son of the young family: a very wealthy, very powerful founding family in arbor mill who owned the lumber mill that had created arbor mill back in the 1900's.

○ through her friend hunter young, she met his older brother forrest young (yes, they're that type of family). he was arbor mill's golden child: the lacrosse and track star, homecoming king, and an mvp intern at the titular arbor mill. and ruby was soon enamored with him. though he'd never fall for the little history nerd, right?

○ somehow, the eldest young child noticed her and immediately took a liking to her. their romance reminded her of her parents (though they were much younger and much closer in age), and she couldn't have been happier. yes, her father used to not make the best choices before he met her mother but their love story and the love they had for each other was so inspiring to ruby. so, this whirlwind, passionate teenage love was even more welcome. she swore forrest was her soulmate. isn't this how a story like this always starts?

○ forrest's true nature started coming out subtly: snide comments, disapproving looks, and stern grabs became common occurrences. it would continue to escalate over the years.

○ when she graduated from high school, her and forrest immediately married. he wanted to start a family right away, but ruby wanted to continue her education. she knew she wanted to do something in history and that usually came with a masters. forrest only agreed to the idea if she did online classes and they continued trying to grow their family. this was fine with ruby and she would later get her BA in education and her MA in both world history and fashion.

○ being married to forrest would slowly turn into a nightmare. month and months of trying had not proved successful and no amount of explanations would be enough for him. emotional abuse turned into physical abuse. physical abuse turned into more extreme, more dangerous physical abuse. he assaulted her in every way imaginable. but if forrest young was anything: it was a manipulator. he was able to cut her off from her family (unless he was okay with them seeing her), convince everyone everything was perfect, and keep ruby scared into silence. for almost ten arduous years, ruby lived in hell.

○ in december of 2020, ruby delivered the long awaited baby forrest had demanded of her for so long. though he soon became disinterested when they found out she was a girl. ruby named her zelda (after zelda fitzgerald). her daughter is her absolute world. she counts herself lucky that she didn't have to witness much abuse in her little life.

○ after a few months of suffering in silence and with her first phase of her escape plan in place, ruby finally told her parents what she had endured over the years. they, of course, were heartbroken. their first concern was getting her out of the house. so, one night when forrest went out, her father picked her and zelda up with their few bags of things and rode off. clark sent maggie grace, ruby and zelda to aurora bay for a while with his aunt faye until this 'all blew over', as he said. though, he had a different plan.

○ clark, per usual, decided to take the law into his own hands. one december night in 2022, he lured forrest to an abandoned warehouse. once he had forrest in the building, no one knows exactly what happened. clark swears he only 'roughed forrest up' then threatened him with more violence unless he turned himself in. that's when forrest, who did have a history of stress-induced asthma, had a major bronchial event in which he couldn't breathe. clark says then he fell to the ground before hitting his head on a brick, killing him instantly. however, the young family is convinced clark went there to murder him that night.

○ clark macmillon was arrested that night after calling 911. in the months ahead, the young's connections would prove detrimental as the DA would officially charge him with first-degree murder and the death penalty was on the table due to his multiple run-ins with the law and the brutality of the scene. his checkered past was no match for the skilled lawyers and overbearing judge (who all happened to be friends with or monetarily connected to the young's) and he was convicted. months later, he was handed the death sentence. clark macmillon is still on death row in huntsville as of 2024 with a 2041 execution date.

○ during the trial, to ruby's absolute horror, she found out she was pregnant again. she was absolutely devastated and didn't know what to do. but something told her to go through with this pregnancy. and she did. thankfully, she was able to hide it throughout the majority of the trial and was quickly whisked away to her great aunt faye's old house in aurora bay (that she had left in clark's possession when she required a nursing home). her daughter penelope grace macmillon was born on april 29th, 2023 (named after her mother, who was always called "maggie grace", so this child would be "penny grace")

○ after taking a few months of unofficial maternity leave (and to try to regain some of her sanity), ruby was offered a job at aurora bay high school as their global history teacher as the other one was retiring. she jumped at the chance as this was truly always what she wanted to do. she also finally had the courage to restart a blog she had started in high school (forrest had deleted all of it in a fit of anger one night and locked her out of all the accounts) and has been pleasantly surprised at how fast it has taken off.

○ ruby is broken and she knows it. she's trying to raise two girls, deal with the complicated feelings of her late husband's death, and attempting to help her father get an appeal on his conviction in any way he can. believe me, her therapy schedule is seventy miles long. but she knows that this is her only life to live. the only direction is forward. can she find her way through the storm clouds?

specific wanted connections / plots

○ aunt faye's family ;; aunt faye split from the macmillon clan pretty early in her life. heck, her last name wasn't even macmillon! she settled down in aurora bay later in her life. maybe she had honorary kids. maybe she had friends. but they would know clark and ruby. after all, they're the ones who would have had to welcome her here. ○ forrest young's family/friends ;; they could be out here in aurora bay. life is weird like that, after all. how will they react to her? how will she react to them?

generic wanted connections / plots

platonic ○ her new best friend(s) ○ close friends ○ neighbor ○ drinking buddies ○ mom friends ○ co-workers ○ found family ○ book club friends ○ influencer friends ○ blog fans romantic ○ failed? blind date ○ slow burn
