Fantine was born in France to Alphonse and Geneviva Miridine in a small village located in the outskirts of Paris. Fantine, growing up in a poor household, often endured her parents going off to work everyday while she was often left at her grandparents house. Dispite her parents being poor and struggling to make ends meet, her grandparents were actually fairly rich, and hired a special nanny to care for her, as well as pay her way into private schooling. It was going to these schools alone and spending her days in her grandmother's garden where she discovered her love for knowlege and nature. Fantine then worked as hard as she could to a new dream, of becoming a Botanist. Upon her grandparent's deaths when she was in highschool, she inherited the savings, giving her parents a portion to help with expenses as well as to pay her way through her dream schooling. After graduating she left home to make her way over to the Americas uder a paid scholorship exchange program. Fantine got a fairly paid job as a barista at the campus coffee shop known as the 'green bean cafe' and met her best friend, Audrey Mills. They happend to go to the same college and decided to share a dorm together. Pretty soon they became best friends. Upon graduating with her associates degree, Fantine found love and had her first child, Elias Miridine. Around a year after becoming a mother, she received an oppertunity to teach as a professer at the school as her former Botany professer was retiring, and she immedietey took advantage of the offer. Around this time she had another four children, twin girls, and two more boys. Eventually she fell out of love and divorced her wife, splitting her family and spiralling her into a small depression. Her daughters hardly speak to her anymore and her sons are all grown with a life of their own. Upon reuniting with Elias, Raegan and Matheiu, she decided to try to reconnect more with her children even though they all have seperate lives on their own (her daughters are still MIA however). She eventually met Hamilton, Elias's husband as well as Elise, her blood granddaughter, and has never been happier with her life.
