Both of them broken

Both of them died for love

One forced to love to live

One loved so much she literally took a shot to the heart.

Both of them beautiful at one time

Poverty took their smiling faces and replaced them with tear stained ones

One blonde: one brunette

Blonde ringlets had once tumbled down her back, but now all the happiness had vanished like a puff of smoke. The brunette was once a spunky little girl. Hair adorned with ribbons, cheeks rosy. But that was then. Sixteen years old. But she looked much older.

Cheeks sallow

Eyes ringed with circles

Hair disheveled

Like the blonde, poverty had robbed her of beauty,leaving only remnants.

Both were beaten making them feel worthless.

One by men wanting to take away her pride and innocent nature.

One by her own father. What is the same between these desperate creature? They stayed strong for the ones they love! Please follow their example!

Their names were Fantine and Eponine
