Jemima

Jemima (ジェミマ) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland. She is a 5-year-old orphan who formerly resides in Grace Field House under the parental care of Isabella. Jemima is considered as one of the house's "low quality goods" and hence has average intelligence for her age.

After her success of escaping Grace Field alongside 14 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.

History
Jemima was born in 2040 and sent to Grace Field House a year later in 2041, growing up along with Alicia and several other children.

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. Like all the other children at the orphanage, she wears the standard uniform— a white shirt and skirt along with plain brown shoes. Her identification number, "31394", can be seen on the left side of her neck.

Personality
Jemima is a cheerful little girl who is described as being a "straight shooter". Despite being more polite, well-behaved and reserved compared to the other younger children, Jemima can display acts of mischievousness with her siblings. She is also very helpful and responsible, as, despite her young age, she helps around with chores in the House and after they escape as well.

She is very caring and considerate towards others, especially her family. She worries about the people important to her a lot.

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 in 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 in January 2046.

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.

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.
