The unreliable protagonist of this story. They start their vlogs to distract themselves from their addiction to cigarettes and weed. Through their videos, they will progressively learn to shut their mouth when needed and listen. They also have a massive crush on Enjolras... and they don't even try to hide it.
A sweet summer child and former neoliberal (which was rebellious in a very conservative family), she was kicked out of her home by a homophobic grandfather. Marius is here for love, and in itself, that's political.
He enters the street to be kicked out of it 'cause nothing is accessible. Gavroche checks many boxes of the SJW representation agenda but overall, he's wild.
Members of the ABCD:
A queer student association (sometimes anarchist when Enjolras wants to push their agenda).
They're just a bunch of whiny SJWs and they meet once a week to complain a lot and fight over tiny details only they care about. [...] To summarize, they spend their time aggressively going at each other's throats but since they've got one another's pronouns right, they call it their "safe space."
(Grantaire)
A heart of burning passion under a crust of ice. Enjolras wishes they weren't the unofficial leader of the ABCD, but they are... They're serious in everything, but Grantaire might be their problematic fav.
During the day, Bê studies medicine (which is boring), but at night, he's a flamboyant drag queen who calls out yellow fever. He also has the misfortune to share his apartment with Grantaire.
The intellectual Trotkist? Marxist? Communist? (Too many "ists") one. She's read a lotta books, you get the point.
They're not out because they need the money. Ka ching! Courfeyrac rejected their aristocratic particle (De Courfeyrac), but not the substantial help that goes with it... as long as they stay in the closet. Meanwhile, they try to bite the hand that feeds them.
A living paradox. They exist and you always say their full name. They study law with Courfeyrac and Marius to stay under the radar.
Here and queer, fab and loud with sass and grace. Student and fat activist, she also has the privilege (no) to be Grantaire's roommate.
The sweet cinnamon roll of the association. A music composer trying to survive ethically and economically. You can hear their music in indie video games and porn.
