Zazie (ザジー) is a character of The Promised Neverland. He is a confidant of Norman and a former Lambda 7214 experiment. He is a five-year-old orphan who was born and raised at Lambda 7214.

History
Zazie is an orphan who was born on February 2, 2042 at Lambda 7214, a facility for experimenting on human children. He spent his early life being subjected to various experiments and tests. The drugs that were given to him seemed to have caused him rapidly grow and mature, much like Hayato and Jin. At some point in 2046, "Minerva" destroyed the facility and rescued all the children within, Zazie included. Thereafter, he was brought to the Paradise Hideout like everyone else, developed deep respect towards his savior, and began working under him.

Appearance
Zazie is a very tall, thin 5-year-old boy who dons two interlocking sheaths on his back, which are strapped on with two belts in front of his body. The sheaths help to keep his twin swords which he primarily uses in combat. What are strapped below are a long, plain, light purple coat with striped long magenta and beige sleeves, black-colored pants and large white shoes. He has the build of a teenager as a result of the experiments performed on him. The most significant and distinctive part of Zazie's appearance is a paper bag which covers up his entire head, with two eye holes cut out for him to see through, the right eye hole forms the letter "Z", as well as a mini toy tiger strapped to the left side of his upper chest.

When Queen Legravalima failed to attack Zazie when she tried to slice off his head, she sliced off his paper bag instead. Zazie resembles a young man with bloodshot eyes, as well as messy white hair and sharp canines. When he fought Legravalima, his face appeared to have what seems to be marks forming all over his forehead and cheeks, all of which disappeared some time later after the fight.

Personality
Zazie appears to be unable to speak, as he only groaned during the conversation with his other teammates after they successfully raided a factory farm, and after finding Hayato. Hayato describes Zazie as a "rabid dog", and says that it's hard to know what he is thinking.

Cuvitidala Arc
In October of 2047, Zazie, along with Norman and the rest of his teammates, successfully raided a factory farm and massacred all the demons that were in it with ease. Zazie and his team soon proceeded to the room where orphans were held in poor conditions, as he followed Minerva's orders to free one of the orphans from his shackles that restrained his hands. Afterwards, the team was unable to rescue the orphans since they would die immediately if they were freed from the machines they were on, hence Zazie and his teammates burnt down the farm instead, wiping it from existence. After some time, Zazie and the rest stood on a balcony of a tall building, overlooking a sea of orphans who had managed to break free from the premium farms. Cheers and applause filled the atmosphere as the orphans repeatedly chanted out Minerva's name. Zazie was sent to find Hayato and Jin after the two took too long to find the Grace Field orphans. He came across Emma surrounded by demons and slew them with ease, and was about to kill Emma until Hayato stopped him.

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

Norman
Not much is currently known of Zazie's relationship with Norman. Zazie does however bear a certain degree of respect and obedience towards Minerva as his leader, or his ally at the very least. This was shown when he listened to his commands of freeing the factory farm orphans from their shackles with his sword.

Vincent
When Zazie and Vincent were first getting acquainted, Vincent made a small plush tiger for Zazie in response to Zazie acting hostile towards him. Upon seeing that the tiger resembled Vincent, Zazie took the plush toy and now he always has it on him. After this exchange, Vincent explained to Norman that, despite Zazie's hostility, he "can't hate him for some reason."

Swordsmanship
Zazie wields two long swords as his primary weapons. Along with his team, he was able to take down the demons working in a factory farm and showed no signs of difficulty or struggle in doing so.
