Eugene (エゥゲン) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland. He is a three-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. Due to his age, Eugene is considered to be one of the house's "low-quality goods".

Eugene now resides at a different plantation at Grace Field House under the parental care of Yukko along with Sherry, Phil, Carol, Milly, and Charlie after Grace Field House Plant 3 was burnt down.

History
Eugene was born at Grace Field in 2042 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2043, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. He was left behind with the younger children at Grace Field House, while the children over five years old made their escape. Eugene now resides at a different plantation at Grace Field after the Grace Field House Plant 3 was burnt down.

Appearance
Eugene is a small boy with short dark brown hair with long bangs covering his eyes. 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, "46394", is tattooed across the left side of his neck.

Personality
Eugene is described as a thoughtful child. Like every other orphan, he enjoys spending time with his siblings and playing tag and hide-and-seek with them. He especially enjoys playing with Phil, Sherry and Naila. Eugene is also shown to be somewhat shy, timid and fidgety. He is also loyal to his mother, Isabella as when he found her key lying in the hallway, he immediately returned it to her.

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

Jailbreak Arc
After Don and Gilda stole Isabella's master key to investigate, they laid down the key somewhere so some other child could find it. So when Eugene saw it lying around, he immediately brought it to Isabella.

On the night when the House burnt down, Eugene was seen expressing concern regarding the absence of his fifteen older siblings. After Isabella failed to retrieve the older children, Eugene was seen sleeping with his other siblings who were left behind, 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 Eugene was transferred to one of the other plantations at Grace Field. He now resides on a new plantation along with some of his other siblings.

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 Eugene and the others. When Emma first sees Eugene upon reuniting, Emma calls out to him with excitement. Eugene quietly fidgets to himself, but says nothing before pulling Emma into a hug.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Eugene is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Eugene, 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, Eugene began attending school. During spring 2049, he 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 Eugene, as he 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 and Yukko
Eugene did not know the real intentions of his caretaker, Isabella, and loved her very much as if she were his real mother. After fifteen of his older siblings escaped from Grace Field, Eugene was sent to a different plantation at Grace Field with a new mother, Yukko. Still not knowing the truth of the orphanage, it is assumed Eugene loved his new caretaker just as much as Isabella.

Jackie, Simon and Helen
After being relocated to a different plantation at Grace Field after the fire and destruction of Plant 3, Eugene was seen happily playing with the children at his new home, mainly Jackie, Simon and Helen. Eugene loved his new siblings, was kind to them and got along well with them. In return, they welcomed him into their family without a second thought.

Phil, Carol, Sherry, Charlie and Milly
Eugene is close to Phil, Carol, Sherry, Charlie and Milly as they are part of his family. He was often seen playing with them and cared deeply about them. After Plant 3 burned down, Eugene and Phil, Carol, Sherry, Charlie and Milly were relocated to the same plantation at Grace Field where they continued to be close.

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