An incredibly talented art student and Éponine's best friend. He likes indie pop bands and beanie hats. He has a very promising art career ahead of him.

Grantaire's best friend and, in most cases, sister-in-arms. She is a talented actress and frequents the school productions and talent shows. She is quick-witted and clever, but often doesn't realize this as she has a tendency to put herself down.

One of Enjolras and Combeferre's oldest friends, he has a slightly lax approach to his education. Despite this, he is well-spoken and has a wild sense of humour. He recently met Jehan, and suddenly finds himself to be infatuated with him.
-
Jean 'Jehan' Prouvaire
- Gender:
- Male

- 16

A huge fan of the written word, he is a talented writer and artist. He prefers to go by Jehan rather than Jean, as he feels its more romantic and poetic. He is quite introverted, but he has a penchant for brightly coloured and mismatched clothing.

- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 18
- Orientation:
