Susan

Susan (スーザン) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland and a recurring character from the A Letter from Norman light novel.

She was a twelve-year-old orphan who resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. She was two years older than Ray, Emma and Norman, and cherished the trio more than anything. She was especially close to Ray, and the first person who implied the truth of the orphanage to. Due to her age, Susan was considered to be one of the house's "premium quality goods".

History
Susan was born at Grace Field in 2032 and sent to Plant 3 a year later in 2033, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. In 2044, at the age of twelve, Susan was shipped out of Grace Field and was killed and fed to the demons, presumably those of high-ranking in the Imperial Capital. Normally shipments happen roughly once every two months. However, Susan was shipped out abruptly only a week after the previous child, Jimmy, was shipped out. The abrupt shipment occurred because there was some problems with one of the premium quality "goods" that was supposed to be shipped out from plant 4, and thus Susan was deemed fit enough to be a replacement. It was implied that Susan was shipped out to be the meal during the next Tifari, and as such did not get the option to train to become a Sister or Mama. Susan was the child shipped before Marcus.

Appearance
Susan was a young fair-skinned girl who stood at an average build and height. She had upper-back length black hair with two locks of hair framing her face. Her bangs were evenly cut and styled into a middle part. She wore the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and a white skirt along with brown boots. Her identification number, "70294", is tattooed on the left side of her neck.

Personality
Susan was described as a headstrong girl who was apparently like the perfect fusion of Ray, Norman, and Emma. Similarly to Emma, she was kind, cheerful, friendly, well-tempered, and mature. She was very athletic and intelligent and was implied to have a full score on her tests. She was also loving, empathetic, and reliable, and cherished Ray, Norman, and Emma deeply. She always went to Ray when in need.

At the same time, Susan was incredibly perceptive, as she picked up on things that no one else did. For example, she noticed the slightest changes in emotion on Ray's face, and although she could not always understand him or the other children around her, she tried her best to do so. Despite her kindness and wanting to help everyone, she was morally ambiguous and could be selfish at times.

Ray
Susan was especially close to Ray, and was the first person who Ray implied the truth of the orphanage to.
