They are fearless and always willing to stand up for their friends, the underdog and anyone who needs help. They don't tolerate people pushing their boundaries and make friends easily. Incredibly patient and understanding, they like to meditate and ponder philosophy and social questions. They speak gently and eloquently and like to call people they care about 'petal' or 'mon cher'. They often bow their head, smile self-consciously, blush for no reason, are awkward and are extremely shy. They have a strong sense of morals, ethics and are driven by a dream of a world built on the principles of justice, equity and liberation. They are nonbinary and use they/them pronouns. They can be fierce and unyielding when it comes to standing up for their values and opposing bigotry.

Background: The only child of a wealthy family, Jehan left home after coming out as non-binary when their father refused to acknowledge them as anything but his son. They moved to Paris and lives in a small apartment by the river. They love gardening and plants, are an avid reader and an enjoyer of herbal tea. They can play the flute, and likes to write verses of poetry with a tendency towards the grandiose. Apart from French, they speak Italian, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, but the four languages serve for the reading of only four poets, Dante, Juvenal, Aeschylus, and Isaiah. Their favourite French poet is Agrippa d'Aubigné. When reading their poetry or speaking up for social justice, their voice, which is ordinarily soft, suddenly becomes masterful. They are a member of the radical social justice group Les Amis de l'ABC, also know as 'the Amis', who believe that revolution is the only way to liberate the people. The group often meets at the cafe Musain to discuss ideology and plan their uprising, but they also often go drinking in the bar, Corinthe. Enjolras is the leader of the Amis, but Jehan's best friends are the cynical artist Grantaire, and the group's third in command Courfeyrac, who is a bubby and kindhearted man. Jehan is also good friends with the witty law student; Bahorel. Jehan is also good friends with the criminal, Montparnasse, though their friends disapprove of this friendship.

Other: Jehan's birth name is Jean Prouvaire and they are happy to go by 'Jean', 'Prouvaire' or their nickname; 'Jehan'.
