Damdin (ダムディン) 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, Damdin is considered to be one of the house's "low-quality goods".

After Grace Field House Plant 3 burnt down, Damdin was moved to a different plantation at Grace Field, albeit not the same one as Phil.

History
Damdin 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. Damdin now resides at a different plantation at Grace Field after the Grace Field House Plant 3 was burnt down.

Appearance
Damdin is a young boy with light skin, big teal-colored eyes, and slightly messy and curly black hair. 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, "57394", can be seen on the left side of his neck.

Personality
Damdin is a young boy who often wakes up early, suggesting he is a morning person. He is also caring, sweet, and free-spirited, joyfully waking up Norman in the morning and happily being embraced by him. Like the rest of his siblings, he is cheerful and likes to play tag and hide-and-seek with everyone. Sometimes he stutters his words.

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

Jailbreak Arc
Damdin, along with Sherry, woke Norman up one morning when he had slept in a bit. Since the latter had just had a nightmare, he pulled in both Damdin and Sherry for a hug.

On the night when the House burnt down, Damdin was seen expressing concern regarding the absence of his fifteen older siblings. After Isabella failed to retrieve the older children, Damdin was seen sleeping with his other siblings who were left behind, being cared for by Isabella outside. 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 Damdin was transferred to one of the other plantations at Grace Field, albeit not the same one as Phil.

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 Damdin and the others. When Emma first sees Damdin upon reuniting, Emma calls out to him with excitement. Damdin initially studders and struggles to remember Emma's name. After a few seconds, he gets Emma's name correct to which Emma happily rejoices.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Damdin is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Damdin, 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, Damdin 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 Damdin, 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
Damdin 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, Damdin was sent to a different plantation at Grace Field with a new mother. Still not knowing the truth of the orphanage, it is assumed Damdin loved his new caretaker just as much as Isabella.

Krone
Out of all the younger children, Damdin appeared to be the most fond of Sister Krone as he was often seen playing with her, hanging on her or riding on her shoulders.

Grace Field Escapees
Damdin and his older siblings loved each other very much. After fifteen of his older siblings escaped from Grace Field and Plant 3 burned down, Damdin was seen expressing concern of their whereabouts. Damdin 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 Damdin and their other younger siblings before they could be shipped out.
