She is the daughter of Fantine. After her mother leaves her to be looked after by the Thénardiers, she becomes an exploited and victimised child. Rescued by Valjean and raised by him as his own offspring, she grows up in a convent school to become a radiant and innocent young beauty, who falls in love with Marius Pontmercy, a young lawyer. Protecting and loving her, both paternally and romantically, are motives for many actions of several of the novel's principal characters. Cosette just lies around and sits there all day while Marius and Jean Valjean have to be her servants. Sometimes she will force them into maid costumes and slams her fist yelling "COFFEE!" It's not pretty.
