Editing Les Misérables (section)

===Minor===
* '''Azelma''' – The younger daughter of the Thénardiers. Like her sister, Éponine, she is spoiled as a child and impoverished when older. She abets her father's failed robbery of Valjean. On Marius and Cosette's wedding day, she tails Valjean on her father's orders. She travels to America with her father at the end of the novel.
* '''Bamatabois''' – An idler who harasses Fantine and later a juror at Champmathieu's trial
* '''(Mlle) Baptistine Myriel''' – Bishop Myriel's sister. She loves and venerates her brother.
* '''Blachevelle''' – A wealthy student in Paris originally from [[Montauban]]. He is a friend of Félix Tholomyès and becomes romantically involved with Fantine's friend Favourite.
* '''Bougon, Madame''' (called Ma'am Burgon) – Housekeeper of the Gorbeau House
* '''Brevet''' – An ex-convict from Toulon who knew Valjean there; released one year after Valjean. In 1823, he is serving time in the prison in Arras for an unknown crime. He is the first to claim that Champmathieu is really Valjean. He used to wear knitted, checkered suspenders.
* '''Brujon''' – A robber and criminal. He participates in crimes with M. Thénardier and the Patron-Minette gang (such as the Gorbeau robbery and the attempted robbery at the Rue Plumet). The author describes Brujon as being "a sprightly young fellow, very cunning and very adroit, with a flurried and plaintive appearance".
* '''Champmathieu''' – A vagabond who is misidentified as Valjean after being caught stealing apples
* '''Chenildieu''' – A lifer from Toulon. He and Valjean were chain mates for five years. He once tried to unsuccessfully remove his lifer's brand TFP (''travaux forcés à perpetuité'', "forced labour for life") by putting his shoulder on a chafing dish full of embers. He is described as a small, wiry but energetic man.
* '''Cochepaille''' – Another lifer from Toulon. He used to be a shepherd from the Pyrenees who became a smuggler. He is described as stupid and has a tattoo on his arm, ''1 Mars 1815''.
* '''Colonel Georges Pontmercy''' – Marius's father and an officer in Napoleon's army. Wounded at Waterloo, Pontmercy erroneously believes M. Thénardier saved his life. He tells Marius of this great debt. He loves Marius, and although M. Gillenormand does not allow him to visit, he continually hides behind a pillar in the church on Sunday so that he can at least look at Marius from a distance. Napoleon made him a baron, but the next regime refuses to recognize his barony or his status as a colonel, instead referring to him only as a commandant. The book usually calls him "the colonel".
* '''Dahlia''' – A young [[grisette (person)|grisette]] in Paris and member of Fantine's group of seamstress friends along with Favourite and Zéphine. She becomes romantically involved with Félix Tholomyès's friend Listolier.
* '''Fameuil''' – A wealthy student in Paris originally from [[Limoges]]. He is a friend of Félix Tholomyès and becomes romantically involved with Fantine's friend Zéphine.
* '''Fauchelevent''' – A failed businessman whom Valjean (as M. Madeleine) saves from being crushed under a carriage. Valjean gets him a position as gardener at a Paris convent, where Fauchelevent later provides sanctuary for Valjean and Cosette and allows Valjean to pose as his brother.
* '''Favourite''' – A young [[grisette (person)|grisette]] in Paris and leader of Fantine's group of seamstress friends (including Zéphine and Dahlia). She is independent and well versed in the ways of the world and had previously been in England. Although she cannot stand Félix Tholomyès's friend Blachevelle and is in love with someone else, she endures a relationship with him so she can enjoy the perks of courting a wealthy man.
* '''Gillenormand, Mademoiselle''' – Daughter of M. Gillenormand, with whom she lives. Her late half sister (M. Gillenormand's daughter from another marriage), was Marius's mother.
* '''Gillenormand, Monsieur''' – Marius's grandfather. A monarchist, he disagrees sharply with Marius on political issues, and they have several arguments. He attempts to keep Marius from being influenced by his father, Colonel Georges Pontmercy. While in perpetual conflict with him over ideas, he holds his grandson in affection.
* '''Théodule Gillenormand''' – Army officer and Marius's cousin. He makes a half-hearted and unsuccessful attempt at supplanting Marius in the affections of their grandfather.
* '''Listolier''' – A wealthy student in Paris originally from [[Cahors]]. He is a friend of Félix Tholomyès and becomes romantically involved with Fantine's friend Dahlia.
* '''Mabeuf''' – An elderly churchwarden and friend of Colonel Pontmercy, who after the Colonel's death befriends his son, Marius, and helps him realize his father loved him. Mabeuf loves plants and books but sells his books and prints in order to pay for a friend's medical care. When Mabeuf finds a purse in his yard, he takes it to the police. After selling his last book, he joins the students in the insurrection. He is shot dead raising the flag atop the barricade.
* '''Magloire, Madame''' – Domestic servant to Bishop Myriel and his sister
* '''Magnon''' – Former servant of M. Gillenormand and friend of the Thénardiers. She had been receiving child support payments from M. Gillenormand for her two illegitimate sons, who she claims were fathered by him. When her sons die in an epidemic, she has them replaced with the Thénardiers' two youngest sons so that she can protect her income. The Thénardiers get a portion of the payments. She is incorrectly arrested for involvement in the Gorbeau robbery.
* '''Mother Innocente''' (aka Marguerite de Blemeur) – The prioress of the Petit-Picpus convent
* '''[[Patron-Minette]]''' – A quartet of bandits who assist in the Thénardiers' ambush of Valjean at the Gorbeau House and the attempted robbery at the Rue Plumet. The gang consists of Montparnasse, Claquesous, Babet, and Gueulemer. Claquesous, who escapes from the carriage transporting him to prison after the Gorbeau robbery, joins the revolution under the guise of "Le Cabuc" and is executed by Enjolras for firing on civilians.
* '''Petit Gervais''' – A travelling [[Duchy of Savoy|Savoyard]] boy who drops a coin. Valjean, still a man of criminal mind, places his foot on the coin and refuses to return it.
* '''Sister Simplice''' – A famously truthful nun who cares for Fantine on her sickbed and lies to Javert to protect Valjean.
* '''Félix Tholomyès''' – Fantine's lover and Cosette's biological father. A wealthy, self-centered student in Paris originally from [[Toulouse]], he eventually abandons Fantine when their daughter is two years old.
* '''Toussaint''' – Valjean and Cosette's servant in Paris. She has a slight stutter.
* '''Two little boys''' – The two unnamed youngest sons of the Thénardiers, whom they send to Magnon to replace her two dead sons. Living on the streets, they encounter Gavroche, who is unaware they are his siblings but treats them like they are his brothers. After Gavroche's death, they retrieve bread tossed by a bourgeois man to geese in a fountain at the [[Jardin du Luxembourg|Luxembourg Garden]].
* '''Zéphine''' – A young [[grisette (person)|grisette]] in Paris and member of Fantine's group of seamstress friends along with Favourite and Dahlia. She becomes romantically involved with Félix Tholomyès's friend Fameuil.
