Robert

Robert (ロバート, Robāto) is one of the minor character of The Promised Neverland and a recurring character from the A Letter from Norman light novel.

Robert was an orphan two years older than Ray, Emma and Norman who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 as one of the many foster children of Isabella before he was shipped out.

History
Robert was born at Grace Field in 2032 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2033, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Robert loved to play dark, gloomy songs on the piano.

Appearance
He has short black hair and wears circular glasses. He wore the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots. His identification number is tattooed on the left side of his neck.

Personality
He is enthusiastic and intuitive. Like all of his siblings, he enjoyed playing tag and hide and seek.

Emma, Norman and Ray
Emma has a deep regard for Robert, as he is a part of her "family". Upon learning that all of their sibling that had been shipped out were dead, Emma and Norman cry and are grief stricken. Although, Ray had learned to mask his emotions over the years, he still deeply cared for his siblings and was sad whenever someone was shipped out. Ray described all of his siblings that had been shipped out as "good kids" who were "so kind and carefree."

Isabella
Robert did not know the real intentions of his caretaker and therefore it is assumed that he loved her very much, up until his death.

Trivia

 * Robert makes two cameo appearances in The Promised Neverland anime series' first and second ending theme songs, Zettai Zetsumei and Lamp, respectively. Robert was the boy with black hair and glasses spotted playing ball in the fields with Michelle and Olivia and several other older orphans. He was seen again playing his piano while sitting under a tree with some other children.
 * In chapter 17, a piano that is ideally similar to the one in the anime's first ending theme song is seen in Isabella's secret room, implying that it was the one that previously belonged to him.
