enjolras facts

trans, senegalese and/or haitian. the kinnie in me wants to say cape verdean but this motherfucker is french as all hell

speaking of which, he obviously has a rlly thick french accent. sometimes he talks too fast so combeferre translates. combeferre has a nigerian accent btw

he’s like 5’6 but he’s still imposing bc he has a really strong bitch face

it’s a wig, several wigs actually, he switches them out all the time. almost always blond but sometimes he does red or black. if you ask if it’s a wig ur racist. and he will tell you ur racist.

he doesn’t watch tv or movies because he doesn’t believe in hollywood but he does enjoy star trek (he’s a spock stan) and artsy indie films

as for music he pretty much exclusively listens to the internationale on repeat

he thought he was a lesbian in high school and dated feuilly (a he/him butch lesbian) for a while. he helped enjolras learn he was gay. they cried a lot but now, many years later, they’re really close comrades

he hates the english language and will often switch to french mid sentence

he was excommunicated from the enjolras family for being a faggot and a communist and goes by enjolras just to spite them. his friends followed suit in solidarity and it just stuck

his father is a pastor and his mother is a lawyer and politician. black capitalist types. “we didn’t come all the way to america so you could grow up to be a faggot” types. don’t like this tweet if ur not black lol

he knows how hot he is and is one part annoyed by it and one part happy abt it as a recruitment tactic. a little manipulative perhaps but it’s for the cause

often mean or angry without meaning to be, but overall goes above and beyond to make people happy. usually to his own detriment. he hasn’t done anything purely for himself in years

definitely on the spectrum. has trouble understanding social stuff sometimes. prefers to sit in silence and let everyone else talk around him when it isn’t about sociopolitical stuff

he likes red so much because communism

his type is dudes with chest hair and/or tattoos that could benchpress him. which is to say, when grantaire first showed up to meetings, combeferre and courfeyrac just stared at enjolras the entire meeting trying not to laugh

he gets mad when you call him a twink but like. come on

he’s a vegetarian. loves fruit and chickpeas. his favorite fruit is peaches. he has a huge sweet tooth. also loves tea and coffee

he stole his fathers credit card to get top surgery. that was the last time they spoke

he has a cat OR a pomeranian named robespierre or toussant or lenin

he has a lot of freckles. like, a LOT

that’s it for now, i took a break from drawing to do this. i’ll be back with more later. read my book about him https://gumroad.com/l/RfAF
