![]() ![]() In 1818, when Fantine and her illegitimate daughter Cosette come across the inn, Fantine sees Éponine and Azelma playing outside. They are pampered and spoiled by their parents, the Thénardiers, who run an inn in Montfermeil, France. As children, Éponine and her younger sister Azelma are described as pretty, well-dressed, and charming. Éponine is born in 1815, the oldest child of the Thénardiers. The character is introduced as a spoiled and pampered child, but appears later in the novel as a ragged and impoverished teenager who speaks in the argot of the Parisian streets, while retaining vestiges of her former charm and innocence. Éponine Thénardier ( / ˌ ɛ p ə ˈ n iː n t ə ˌ n ɑːr d i ˈ eɪ/ French: ), also referred to as the " Jondrette girl", is a fictional character in the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. ![]()
