Jemima

''This article is about the Manga version of Jemima. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

Jemima (ジェミマ) is a five-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 as one of the many foster children of Isabella. Due to her age, Jemima is considered to be one of the house's "low-quality goods". She was brought into the escape plan by Emma two months after the truth of the orphanage was revealed.

After successfully escaping Grace Field alongside fourteen other orphans, Jemima now seeks to find William Minerva, whom she and her team believe can grant them the liberty to live a safe and peaceful life away from the demons.

Appearance
Jemima is a young girl with dark skin and big, oval-shaped dark brown eyes. She has curly black hair which she slicks back into a low bun. She also appears to be a little short for her age. 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, "31394", can be seen on the left side of her neck.

In 2047, Jemima stopped wearing the standard Grace Field uniform, instead adopting long black pants and an oversized long sleeved white shirt with the same brown boots she wore at Grace Field House. Now at the age of seven, Jemima has slightly longer hair which she began wearing tied into four braids.

History
Jemima was born at Grace Field on July 20, 2040 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2041, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Jemima is brought into the escape plan alongside the other five year olds after Don and Gilda revealed the truth of the orphanage to them. They were scared, but determined to help out in any way they can. They managed to help prepare for the escape by gathering food, warm clothes and supplies and storing them in the old well until the night of the escape. Jemima successfully escaped the house along with the rest of her siblings who were over the age of five.

Personality
Jemima is a cheerful, excitable and energetic little girl who is described as being a "straight shooter". She is somewhat shy and enjoys gardening, dressing up, having picnics and playing tag and hide-and-seek with her siblings. Jemima also loves flowers, butterflies, fashion, sewing, rainbows, glitter, sparkles and anything pretty. Despite being more polite, well-behaved, and reserved compared to the other younger children, Jemima can display acts of mischievousness with her fellow foster siblings. She is also very diligent, helpful and responsible, as, despite her young age, she helps around with chores in the House and after they escape as well. However, she also gets scared easily as she was the only child who could not cross the cliff surrounding Grace Field alone. Ultimately, Jemima is very caring and considerate towards others, especially her family and she worries a lot about the people important to her.

Introduction Arc
Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Jemima went through the same routine every day at Grace Field House.

During a game of tag, she was caught by Krone. She is seen participating in the training sessions under the disguise of playing.

Jailbreak Arc
As one of the youngest children, Jemima was one of the last people recruited into the escape plan after hearing about the truth of the orphanage, the House, and Isabella. During the escape, Jemima is frightened to cross the cliff and begins crying, until Ray carries her and they decide to cross together. Jemima and her siblings escape from Grace Field House Plant 3 in January 2046.

Promised Forest Arc
After escaping Grace Field with her siblings, Jemima and the others started looking for location B06-32 with some help from Mujika and Sonju; in which later they found out it is a hidden shelter in the wasteland. Upon reaching Shelter B06-32 like the rest of the children, she took refuge in it for more than a year.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Jemima is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Jemima, 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, Jemima began attending school. During spring 2049, she finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories. In the special epilogue chapter, Dreams Come True, Jemima lived out her dream of having a picnic in a flower garden.

Ray
Ever since Ray comforted Jemima and helped her cross the cliff during their escape from Grace Field, Jemima has gained a deep attachment to him. She cares for him deeply and is always worried about his well-being, running into his arms and hugging him when she thinks he was in danger. Ray, in turn, cares for Jemima just as much and views her as an important younger sister.

Alicia
Alicia is Jemima's best friend. Growing up as orphans in Grace Field, they developed a very close sisterly-bond. Prior to the escape, they were often seen in each other's company and playing together. Ever since the escape, they have been supporting and helping each other out in everything.

Anna
Anna has been an older sisterly figure for Jemima throughout their lives in Grace Field House. Anna cares for the her just like how she cares for everyone who crosses her path. However, Jemima is especially close to Anna and is often seen hugging Anna or playing with her. Both of them have an eye for beauty and share an interest in gardening, sewing and fashion.

Grace Field Escapees
Jemima gets along with the Grace Field Escapees, particularly the younger children such as Yvette, Chris, Mark, Dominic and Rossi. While Jemima prefers to stay in the background while her siblings are more loud-mouthed, Jemima loves them all as siblings who grew up together. They are often seen playing together, helping each other with chores, and cheering for one another's accomplishments. She is also close to Anna, as they are often helping and teaching each other about various things.
