Marnya (マーニャ)/Marnia (マルニア,Marunia) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland. She is a four-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. Due to her age, Marnya is considered to be one of the house's "low-quality goods".

After Grace Field House Plant 3 burnt down, Marnya was moved to a different plantation at Grace Field, albeit not the same one as Phil.

History
Marnya was born at Grace Field in 2041 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2042, growing up along with several other children under the care of Isabella. She was left behind with the younger children at Grace Field House, while the children over five years old made their escape. Marnya now resides at a different plantation at Grace Field after the Grace Field House Plant 3 was burnt down.

Appearance
Marnya is a young girl with brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair tied into two pigtails. She wears the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and a white skirt along with brown boots. Her identification number, "42394", can be seen on the left side of her neck.

Personality
Marnya is a cheerful and curious girl who loves playing tag and hide-and-seek with her siblings. She is noted to love Isabella very much. Marnya also enjoys helping her older siblings do the laundry. She appears to be especially close to Nina, Dalia and Vivian.

Introduction Arc
Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Marnya went through the same routine every day at Grace Field House. She was seen being caught by Krone during a game of tag.

Jailbreak Arc
When Emma explains the situation about the house and Isabella, she mentions that the older kids will have about one-and-a-half years to retrieve the younger kids since Marnya has the earliest birthday.

On the night when the house burnt down, Marnya was seen expressing concern regarding the absence of her fifteen older siblings. After Isabella failed to retrieve the older children, Marnya was seen sleeping with her other siblings who were left behind and being cared for by Isabella. Emma promises that she will come back within two years to rescue her siblings from Grace Field.

Cuvitidala Arc
Two months after the escape and Grace Field House Plant 3 burnt down, it is revealed that Marnya was transferred to one of the other plantations at Grace Field, albeit not the same one as Phil.

Return to Grace Field Arc
After getting the word that all the farms are to be abolished, Emma returns to Grace Field House to get Marnya and the others. When Emma first sees Marnya upon reuniting, Emma calls out to her with excitement. Marnya happily greets Emma and introduces her to her new foster siblings after asking her how her "new adoptive home" is, implying that the younger children from Plant 3 which were relocated to different plantations had been told that all of the Grace Field escapees were sent to new adoptive homes after the fire.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Marnya is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Marnya, 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, Marnya began attending school. During spring 2049, she finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories.

Emma, Norman and Ray
Emma and Norman have a deep regard for Marnya, as she is a part of their "family". Upon learning that all of her sibling that had been shipped out were dead, Emma and Norman vow to escape with all of their younger siblings, despite most of them being under the age of five. Ray, however, is more skeptical of their plan and considers everyone other than Don and Gilda to be burdens to their escape plan.

Despite this, Ray really does care about his younger siblings, but believing that escaping with everyone was impossible, he had emotionally detached from them over the years and tried to avoid becoming too close to them so that he would not be as sad when they were inevitably killed. After Norman successfully came up with a plan to escape without sacrificing anyone, Ray admitted defeat and finally joined Emma in vowing to not leave anyone behind. They ultimately decided to escape with all of their siblings over the age of five and return to rescue their younger siblings within two years, before they were old enough to be shipped out.

Isabella
Marnya did not know the real intentions of her caretaker, Isabella, and loved her very much as if she were her real mother. After fifteen of her older siblings escaped from Grace Field, Marnya was sent to a different plantation at Grace Field with a new mother. Still not knowing the truth of the orphanage, it is assumed Marnya loved her new caretaker just as much as Isabella.

Grace Field Escapees
Marnya and her older siblings loved each other very much. After fifteen of her older siblings escaped from Grace Field and Plant 3 burned down, Marnya was seen expressing concern of their whereabouts. Marnya did not know the truth of the orphanage nor did she know that her older siblings had actually escaped, and after being relocated to a different plantation at Grace Field, she was told that his fifteen older siblings had been sent to live with foster families. Despite leaving her behind, the Grace Field Escapees vowed to return within two years to rescue Marnya and their other younger siblings before they could be shipped out.
