Or some facts (headcanon) about Irma Boissy, that are still in progress and messily written but bear with the mun.
Born Irma Marie Boissy on 1810, She's the oldest of five siblings, three boys and two girls, and the daughter of Honoré and Marie Boissy, a clerk and a housewife. She led a quiet life helping her mother with the house chores and taking care of her younger siblings. It was her father's death and the fact that money ran short quickly, so Irma became a grisette, working at a small shoe factory as a boot embroiderer.
Even though she was quite the skilled worker, what she became renowned for were her pretty features that gained her many suitors. Men who she flirted with but she wasn't as interested in them as they were in her.
That until she met a student by the name of Grantaire. Very few know what happened between Irma and him, but it did not end as well as it started, prompting her to declare Grantaire to be "impossible". Not just his looks, as a gentleman by the name of Victor Hugo once thought, but his whole being (though many would say that our being reflects in our features, thus making Mr Hugo's point valid even if only by a bit, we will not discuss that here, because that was not what our dear Irma -or so she says- intended to mean).
