Nat

''This article is about the Manga version of Nat. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

Nat (ナット) is a nine-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 as one of the many foster children of Isabella. Due to his age, Nat is considered to be one of the house's "good quality goods". He is a fun-loving and slightly narcissistic boy who is brought into the escape plan alongside Anna, Thoma and Lannion after the truth of the orphanage is revealed.

After successfully escaping Grace Field alongside fourteen other orphans, Nat now seeks to find William Minerva, whom he and his team believe can grant them the liberty to live a safe and peaceful life away from the demons.

Appearance
Nat is a young boy of average height with brown eyes and a tall nose line (which he takes great pride in). He has short, neatly-kept burgundy hair styled into a bowl cut and bangs which mainly drapes over the right side of his face. He wears the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots. His identification number, "30294", is tattooed onto the left side of his neck.

In 2047, Nat stopped wearing the standard Grace Field uniform, instead adopting long black pants and a long sleeved white shirt with the same brown boots he wore at Grace Field House. Now at the age of eleven, Nat has grown significantly taller, being slightly taller than Anna. He also has longer and messier hair.

History
Nat was born at Grace Field on December 18, 2036 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2037, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Nat is brought into the escape plan alongside Anna, Thoma and Lannion after Don and Gilda revealed the truth of the orphanage to them by allowing them to listen in on Emma and Norman's conversation with Sister Krone. Nat assisted the escape by helping the younger children climb the wall and then tying the end of the ropes to the top of a nearby tree so that the children could zip line over the cliff. Nat successfully escaped the house along with the rest of his siblings who were over the age of five.

Personality
Nat appears to be rather jovial, carefree, fun-loving, and slightly narcissistic. Like the rest of his siblings, he enjoys playing games such as tag and hide-and-seek. Being an extrovert, Nat is often seen mingling with the rest of the orphans. When in a good mood, he enjoys making jokes and sarcastic comments. He is prideful of his nose line and took Yugo's insult of it as a compliment. Nat seems to be easily intimidated, this was shown whenever he sees malicious-looking people or creatures, such as Sonju.

Nat is a person who wears his emotions on his sleeve, and as so, he is not afraid to express his feelings. When he is overjoyed or sees his siblings being well after being injured, Nat is seen crying tears of joy. When he feels uncomfortable by something, he clearly shows it on his face. He is also shown to be both optimistic and pessimistic at times.

Nat is also shown to be creative, musical, and observant. He particularly enjoys playing the piano. On Norman's 11th birthday, Nat led the kids in performing a birthday song for him on an accordion. He also enjoys teaching his younger siblings about music and showing them how to use musical instruments. While he can easily get discouraged sometimes, he is hardworking and puts in a great effort in living a good life. Although he is often seen in a happy mood with a rather jolly attitude, Nat will turn serious when needed, especially when it revolves around his siblings. Nat cares deeply about his siblings and even lied to Peter Ratri about Emma, Norman and Ray's whereabouts despite knowing that doing so could get himself killed. He gets along with Anna who is the same age as him, as well as Yvette, who is shown to be creative like him.

Introduction Arc
Nat was first seen playing tag with his siblings of the Grace Field House, where he was almost immediately caught by Norman. A few days later, during a game of tag, he was caught by Krone along with Anna, Lannion, and Thoma.

Jailbreak Arc
It is revealed that Nat, along with Anna, Thoma, and Lani was brought into the escape plan after Don and Gilda. Nat was seen being horrified when Isabella carried Emma with a broken leg, to which he understood that it was Isabella's doing. During the two months after Norman's shipment, Nat and his siblings got instructions from Emma on how to train the orphans for the upcoming escape. Nat also assisted Don to secure the zip lines in order to cross the cliff, and on January 15, 2046, Nat and his siblings escape from Grace Field House Plant 3.

Search For Minerva Arc
Nat was seen among the children searching for a way out of the demon forest. He reached just like the rest of the children Shelter B06-32 and took refuge in it for more than a year.

Cuvitidala Arc
Upon arriving at the Paradise Hideout, Nat was overjoyed and content to finally have a real toilet. He was also shocked and happy to see Norman again. Nat was later seen with the rest of the children listening to Emma's and Ray's speech about leaving the Paradise Hideout to go to the seven walls to try to make a better promise. He then waved Emma goodbye like the rest of the children.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Nat is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Nat, along with the other children, agrees to search for Emma so they can reunite with her again. Over the next two years spent in the Human World, Nat began attending school and studying intensively, presumably about music. During spring 2049, he finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories. In the special epilogue chapter, Dreams Come True, Nat lived out his dream of appreciating opera.

Grace Field Escapees
Nat is close with all of the Grace Field Escapees, especially Ray, Don, Anna, Thoma, Lani and some of the younger kids. He loves them all and is protective of them. He is always ready to join his whole family in adventures and playing with them.

Anna
Due to being the same age and having grown up together, Nat and Anna are very good friends and are almost always seen together. Anna cares for Nat just like how she cares for everyone who crosses her path. Alongside Nigel, Thoma, Lannion and a few others, Nat appeared to be one of the few people who have at least a slight interest, on Anna. This was shown when Nat stared at her when she was preparing to enter a demon territory with Emma, Ray and Hayato, with a heart shape beside him as the girl tied her hair, though Nat immediately denied Hayato when he said how he and the others liked her.
