Nat (ナット) is one of the supporting characters of The Promised Neverland series. He 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 red eyes and a tall nose line (which he takes great pride in). He has short, neatly-kept red 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.

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 rope 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 a rather jovial, carefree and fun-loving child. Being an extrovert, he is often seen mingling with the rest of the orphans. He is prideful of his nose line and took Mister'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.

Nat is also shown to be creative, musical and observant. 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.
