Norman

Norman (ノーマン, Nōman) is one of the main protagonists of The Promised Neverland. Like all the other children, he is an orphan.

History
Norman was born on March 21, 2034. During Norman's time being raised at plantation 3, he became close friends with Emma and Ray. Since infancy, Norman has been prone to getting sick easily. Several years prior to the events of the series, he along with Emma and Ray went to the forbidden gate. However, the trio decided to head back to the house.

Appearance
Norman has short pale hair with blue faded eyes, he wears the standard orphanage uniform. Like the other children of Grace Field House, Norman sports a 5-digit classification number on the left side of his neck.

Personality
Norman is the most intelligent child in Grace Field House, having a perfect grade in Litany of Intelligence Tests. He is calm, optimistic, polite, and friendly.

He likes to apply what he learns to his day to day activities, even in a simple game of tag. He is known to be strategic, analytical, rational, and possesses logical deductive skills. However, underneath his friendly exterior, Norman is prone to being apathetic at times. His apathetic personality is portrayed when he saw no issue in killing Sister Krone and Isabella in order to escape.

Norman trusts and believes in all the children of the orphanage. As one of the eldest brothers for his siblings, he showed his affection by playing and spending time with them. Norman is willing to do anything for those he loves. Rather than choosing the opportunity to live, he chose to sacrifice himself so that Emma, Ray, Don, and Gilda could escape with all the children on the farm despite having the desire to live.

Intelligence
Being one of the top-ranked orphan (in other words: premium quality) of the orphanage, Norman is an intelligent and logical strategist. He is noted in chapter 1 by the other children, as being the "genius" among them, putting him on top in the ranking of intelligence. Norman was one of the few to ace in the orphanage's tests and was the only person to decipher out Ray being Isabella's spy. He can easily plan his actions in advance and he anticipates on other's actions. He demonstrates this intellectual prowess and foresight by calculating every plan to the finest detail, which allowed him to formulate the ultimate gambit for escape.

He also discovered that the Promised Pen won't access other pages unless it is opened on the location of that page.

Judgement Ability
Norman's judgement is respected by the children especially by Emma and Ray. Ray has stated Norman has great judgment ability. Emma also accepted Norman's judgement when he agreed to form an alliance with sister Krone.

Physical Ability
Although he is considered the child with the least physical ability at Grace Field, Norman can manage to catch the other children in a game of tag by using strategy. Norman was also able to outmaneuver sister Krone while playing tag, whom the latter thought of him as a weak child she could capture quickly.
