Ray

Ray is one of the main protagonists of The Promised Neverland. Like all the other children, he is an orphan.

Appearance
Ray wears the standard white uniform.

Personality
Ray is very logical and smart, and is usually shown to read books by himself. He does not seem to be very attached to other children in the orphanage as he is seen to be willing to leave them behind to increase the chances of the trio to escape. According to data obtained by sister Krone his weakness is that he gives up easily.

Ray is extremely patient and cunning, and possibly the best strategist among the three main characters, as evidenced by his working as a double-agent; while ostensibly being Mama's spy/mole among the children for years, he has in fact been using that position in order to plot against Mama for an eventual escape.

History
Ray is shown to have been in the orphanage since a young age together with Norman and Emma. He learns about the demons from Emma and Norman and believes them immediately, because as he puts it "Norman would not tell such a stupid lie". The trio works together to find a way to escape from the orphanage. At the end of Chapter 12, it is revealed that Norman suspects him to be a spy for mama.

In Chapters 13 and 14, it is revealed that Ray is indeed Mama's spy, but is in fact working as a double-agent and became her spy as part of his plan to one day escape with the others, thus making him a double-agent who has been plotting against Mama all along.

Intelligence
Ray is one of the top scoring children at the orphanage. He is a bookworm.

Ray is also extremely perceptive, as it is revealed that he realized years ago that the "orphanage" is in fact a farm, with the children as livestock, without ever having to actually see the reality with his own eyes (like Emma and Norman) in order to realize this fact.
