History: Fantine never had a chance to know her parents. Her first memory is that of the orphanage she was living in for years. The beautiful baby girl was born on a stormy, March night in France, by a poor woman who died in labor. The father was unknown, so the child was soon placed in an orphanage. From the earliest years Fantine knew what it's like to be hungry, to be mistreated and unhappy.

From early on, Fanny developed a strong sense of justice and became the protector of the weaker and younger children in the orphanage. She couldn't just pass by a child in need. She was capable of giving her meals to the youngsters, so they have what to eat to grow up and get stronger. Fantine often acted like a mother to the little ones, singing them songs before beds and taking care of them in any way she could. The staff quickly realized the girls golden heart and naivety can be useful. They always gave her the hardest chores, but she always did it with a smile. When she was 11, she received a letter from Beauxbatons, but everyone thought it's a joke and they ignored it. However, there was a light of hope inside the girl that she might be different. She was right.

When Fantine was 12, an English couple came to adopt her. As it turned out when they took her with them to their country, because they wanted a young french maid. What surprised her is that they somehow guessed she is a witch. They taught her basics of magic. She had to learn English on her own, but she never learned how to write it. To this day the way she speaks it isn't the most proper, but she tries. That job didn't last for long, she was only 13,5 when she was accused of stealing and fired. For another year and a half, she tried to find herself a job, but no one wanted a poor foreigner with mediocre English skills. So, she had no choice she decided to go and work in a brothel. She was barely fifteen and very tiny from malnutrition, but it didn't bother the woman who came and bought her for her son's 18th birthday.

She was a virgin and as it turned out so was he. At first, she was afraid, but they talked and he was so caring and good to her that before the night ended, she was head over heels in love with him and would give herself up completely even if it wasn't her job. She kept that memory in her head every time a client was bad to her. That night became her most cherished memory, one that she returned to when she was sad. She thought about him all the time, though he probably never spared a thought of her again.

About six months later, she discovered she is pregnant, when the child began to move inside her. She went to the healer who only confirmed her suspicions. The girl knew what to do. She gathered all the money she could and left the brothel, not wanting to either give up the baby or raise it there. Fantine worked as a maid in various places until she delivered the baby. It was a beautiful girl she named after her father Valeria, called Ri for short. It was her greatest treasure. After giving birth, Fanny began working as a wet-nurse, until she lost all her milk when her child turned 3 years old. Luckily, there was a new work opportunity in front of her.

Her daughter will now be turning four in may and starts asking questions about her father. Fantine was given a decent job by a great employer Alice Lovegood for whom she works as a maid in the Three Broomsticks and who allows her to live there with Ri. She now wonders if she should tell Valerian about their baby or not, because she is afraid to lose her.
