Gavroche

Gavroche is a major character in Victor Hugo's novel Les Miserables and its various adaptations. He is a street urchin who helps the student uprising, and loses his life at the barricades.
==History==
Gavroche is the son of the Thenardiers, and is neglected by them and ultimately left to the streets. He becomes a street urchin, but bears no ill will toward anyone. He sometimes visits his parents, but is turned away. He also tries to help others who need it, leaving an impoverished man, M. Mabeuf, a purse of money that he had found.
One day he meets two younger boys who are lost in the street, and gives them shelter for the evening, giving them tips on how to survive in the streets. He is unaware that the two boys are his younger brothers, who have also been abandoned by the Thenardiers. That night, Gavroche is found by Montparnasse, who uses Gavroche to help him free Thenardier from prison.
Gavroche joins the rebels at the barricade and gives them a lot of help, bringing them supplies and exposing Javert as a spy. He is asked by Marius to deliver a letter to Cosette in the hope that this will keep him from danger, but Gavroche returns to the barricade afterwards, and bravely runs into enemy fire to retrieve cartridges for the rebels, and is shot and killed in the process.
