List of The Promised Neverland characters

This is a list of characters for the manga and anime series The Promised Neverland.

Conception and creation[]

Shirai wanted to create "upbeat and hopeful" characters to echo those heroes from Weekly Shōnen Jump's series. He stated that Emma is the epitome of the positive attitude, Norman is the mainstay of the group and Ray has an opposite and darker personality.^[1] Originally, Emma was a less decisive and active character, Norman had a "lighter" mood, and Ray was "more extreme", but Shirai and the series' editor, Suguru Sugita, decided to tweak the characters’ traits and personalities, something that, according to Sugita, continued as the series progressed.^[2] Sugita thought that a shōnen manga with a female main character would not be popular enough to be serialized and suggested Shirai to change the character setting, making a version where Emma was a boy, but it did not work out. Sugita later considered that since Studio Ghibli films, which features female protagonists and a male character that supports her, are widely popular across the world, they thought that having a female main character would not be a problem.^[2] According to Shirai, the choice of having Emma as the main character in a shōnen manga series, was mainly due that he was more interested in exploring a mother-daughter opposition rather than a mother-son opposition. He added that, as a girl, Emma has the choice of become a "Mom" or to try to run away, and to Shirai that was more interesting in terms of the storyline.^[3]

Shirai created a base of drawings with images and expressions of each character and Demizu fine-tuned their features and attitudes.^[1] Demizu alternated two styles of drawing for children and demons. She enjoyed drawing both, as children reminded her of the period when she was doing illustrations and the demons came out of personal taste for "all that is fantastic and scary". Demizu has also designed monsters for video games.^[3] According to Shirai, they were about it very early to imagine the design of the demons and the new characters, to have time to think about it well and to not be rushed by the rhythm of weekly publication. Demizu, nevertheless, had the characters ready in one or two days, as Shirai mentioned as example that the design of Sonju's horse was conceived, produced and validated in one day. Shirai emphasized that he rarely had seen someone as fast and confident as Demizu.^[3]

Ray becomes Isabella's spy in exchange for goods and the promise that he, Norman, and Emma will not get fed to demons until their 12th birthdays. He pledged to use the remaining years of his life to orchestrate an escape plan that would lead to his two best friends finding out the truth themselves.

After Ray is betrayed by Isabella, Norman is forced to be shipped before his 12th birthday, accepting his fate of inevitable death to deceive her and let the rest of the children escape. However, instead of being put down, Norman is sent to a special research facility called Lambda, escaping after leads the other children held there in an uprising.

Additionally, since she wanted to reign the Demon World, she killed her father to take over the throne. Although she now had found a new life of luxury, she lacked one thing: her perfect human meat. When she heard about Norman, him having the greatest mind of all, she refused to let him be eaten by the Demon King, Him. As so, she sent him to Lambda, all of which because she simply wanted to devour him herself. During a flashback to 700 years prior, when the lower demon classes were shown to be starving and on the verge to devolution, the former Lord Geelan advocated giving some of the high-grade meat to the people.

His origins are unclear, but he was the one capable of making Promises on behalf of the demons. 1,000 years ago, He made the deal with Julius Ratri that became known as "The Promise" - the demons and humans would be partitioned between two worlds, unable to access one another. The Human World would be free of demon predation, and in exchange, the demons would be allowed to farm the humans stranded on their world.

Therefore, Bayon's solution was accepted and included as part of the treaty. Around 200 years after the establishment of the farms, Bayon got elected as an investor and manager of several farms. Years later, Bayon, Leuvis, Nous, Nouma, Luce and a few other demons overran a deserted human town called Goldy Pond, which they turned into a hunting ground as human children who had either been bought or stumbled into the place by accident were thrown into the hunting ground for Bayon and his team to hunt for sport.
