John

John (ジョン, Jon) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland manga series and a recurring character from the Records of Comrades light novel. He was an escapee from Glory Bell, and a childhood friend of Yugo and Lucas. He was killed by Leuvis when he and his friends ventured into Goldy Pond.

History
John was a boy born and raised as an orphan at Glory Bell orphanage, alongside Lucas, Yugo, Dina, and countless other children. Around thirteen years ago, in 2033, Yugo brought forward the idea of escaping (presumably after finding out the true intentions of the farms). From there, John escaped with Yugo and Lucas and sixteen other children. John and his friends then took refuge at Shelter B06-32 before deciding to travel to the human reserve in hopes of finding William Minerva. On the way there, John and his friends were captured by the Poachers who brought them to Goldy Pond. Once there, Leuvis mercilessly slaughtered him and all of his friends with the exception of Yugo, who later returned to the Shelter alone, and Lucas, who begun living in the windmill with another boy, after barely managing to escape alive. He appears in the third light novel, Records of Comrades.

Appearance
John is a boy with short blonde hair with a tuft of long bangs hanging over the center of his forehead. During his time at Glory Bell, he is seen wearing the uniform that all of the Premium Farm children wear- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots. After escaping from the orphanage, he is seen wearing a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt underneath a plaid vest and black pants along with brown shoes. His Glory Bell identification number is tattooed across the left side of his abdomen.

Personality
Like all of his siblings, John loved to eat cookies. He also enjoyed organizing teams for him and his siblings to play tag in.
