Name:impossible_r
Birthdate:Aug 14
So not real. Grantaire, from Les Miserables.

And he was one of the students who had got the most out of his studies in Paris; he knew that the best coffee was in the Cafe Lemblin and that the best billiard table was in the Cafe Voltaire; that you got good cakes and good girls at L'Ermitage on the boulevard du Maine, spatchcock chickens at mother Sauget's, excellent fish stews at the barriere de la Cunette, and a certain light wine at the barriere du Combat. For everything, he knew all the best places; he also knew how to kickbox and make his way around a gymnasium and a dancefloor, and he was a natural with a singlestick in stickfighting. A big drinker to boot. And unnaturally ugly. The prettiest boot-stitcher of the day, Irma Boissy, appalled by his ugliness, had come out with this sentence: "Grantaire is impossible."
-- Les Miserables, Julie Rose translation
