* Eponine from ''[[Les Misérables (theatre)|Les Misérables]]'', especially in the musical. She's abused by her parents, is always alone, and falls in love with Marius, who doesn't love her back. After she visits the middle of rebellion to see him, he asks her ''to deliver a letter from him to the girl that he does love''. She ends up taking a bullet during the fighting and dying (although she dies happy because he's there comforting her). |

** In the book, she's much more of a [[Stalker with a Crush]], although she's still quite sympathetic. Though that does NOT give her fans white card to bash Cosette for either [[Die for Our Ship|''daring'' to get Marius's love]] or for being girlier than Eponine (or better said, the [[Possession Sue]] they make out of Eponine). |

** You've got to hand it to Cosette, too, when it comes to woobiedom. First, she gets separated from her mother. Then she gets berated, teased, overworked, starved, beaten, and deprived of adequate clothing by the Thenardiers. At one point, she wraps a small knife in rags and sings to it, pretending that it's a baby doll. Things do improve considerably for her, but still. |

** Jean Valjean himself. Granted, he dies happy, but throughout the course of the book, all his suffering (and there's a lot of it) is derived from his desire to simply help other people. The man spends nineteen years in jail because he was trying to feed his sister's family (granted, fourteen of those years are his own damn fault) and only gets the law back on his trail because he saved a man's life. |
