-If we're going off the novel, she has spent two months of her life in jail before telling the police that she was too young to stand trial.

-She's not entirely sure how old she is; in her teens, somewhere, but she hasn't celebrated a birthday since they lived in Montfermiel.

-She really wants a beautiful china doll - just like the one the man gave Cosette - because that one should have been hers, and she's still jealous all these years later.

-Eponine's name comes from the latin 'Empona'; when translated to French, it becomes 'Epponina' and when translated from Ancient Greek, it means 'heroine'.

- She doesn't really understand what true love is, or how to love anybody, or even how to accept love from others.

-Eponine returns to her criminal life, despite not having to, because it makes her feel safe. She is full of self-loathing and thinks that the underworld is her rightful place in the world.

-She's actually quite a positive person most of the time; she does try to see the positive side of a bad situation.

-She is prone to hallucinations

-She apparently likes to drink gin.
