''This article is about the Manga version of Lannion. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

Lannion (ラニオン) or Lani (ラニ) for short, is a seven-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 as one of the many foster children of Isabella. Due to his age, Lannion is considered to be one of the house's "average-quality goods". He is an energetic boy who is often seen around his best friend, Thoma. He is later brought into the escape plan alongside Thoma, Nat, and Anna after the truth of the orphanage is revealed.

After successfully escaping Grace Field alongside fourteen other orphans, Lannion now seeks to find William Minerva, whom he and his team believe can grant them the liberty to live a safe and peaceful life away from the demons.

Appearance
Lannion is a young boy with light blue eyes and noticeably smaller pupils, freckles, a wide smile, and one missing tooth. He has short, blonde hair styled into a single spike that resembles an onion. 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, "54294", is tattooed onto the left side of his neck.

History
Lannion was born at Grace Field on April 28, 2038 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2039, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Lannion is brought into the escape plan alongside Anna, Thoma and Nat after Don and Gilda revealed the truth of the orphanage to them by allowing them to listen in on Emma and Norman's conversation with Sister Krone. Thoma and Lannion helped the children escape by making a decoy for Ray and creating two water rockets with ropes attached to the bottoms and shooting them over the cliff in order to get the ends of the ropes to Don on the other side. Lannion successfully escaped the house along with the rest of his siblings who were over the age of five.

Personality
Lannion is a mischievous, rowdy, curious and childish boy who enjoys handicraft, inventing new things, catching bugs and pulling pranks along with his best friend, Thoma. Additionally, he is shown to be rather active as he loves playing sports, especially baseball, soccer and football as well as tag, hide and seek, and other games with his siblings. Although he is a bit cowardly, blunt and straightforward, he has a strong will and cares deeply for his family.

He is also very resourceful, intelligent and creative as he invented a water rocket with a rope attached to it which played a big part in the escape, enabling the orphans to cross the cliff surrounding Grace Field House. For Norman's 11th birthday, Lannion and Thoma made firecrackers by putting bits of colorful paper and ribbon inside a cup so that when the bottom of the cup was hit by a catapult it would make a noise while the contents flew. Ray taught them how to connect it to the lights so that when they turned the lights on, it went off.

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

Lannion was first seen playing tag with his siblings of the Grace Field House, where he was almost immediately caught by Norman. A few days later, during the same game, he was caught by Krone along with Nat, Thoma, and Anna.

Jailbreak Arc
It is revealed that he, along with Nat, Anna and Thoma was brought into the escape plan after Don and Gilda. Lannion was seen being horrified when Isabella carried Emma with a broken leg, to which he understood that it was Isabella's doing. During the two months after Norman's shipment, Lannion and his siblings got instructions from Emma on how to train the orphans for the upcoming escape. Thoma and Lannion assisted in the escape by making a decoy for Ray and creating two water rockets with ropes attached to the bottoms and shooting them over the cliff in order to get the ends of the ropes to Don on the other side. On January 15, 2046, Lannion and his siblings escape from Grace Field House Plant 3.

Promised Forest Arc
After escaping Grace Field with his siblings, Lannion and the others started looking for location B06-32 with some help from Mujika and Sonju; in which later they found out it is a hidden shelter in the wasteland.

Search For Minerva Arc
Lannion was seen among the children searching for a way out of the Demon Forest. He reached just like the rest of the children Shelter B06-32 and took refuge in it for more than a year.

Cuvitidala Arc
Upon arriving at the Paradise Hideout, Lannion was shocked and happy to see Norman again, leaping into his arms and expressing admiration of his new position. Lannion was later seen with the rest of the children listening to Emma's and Ray's speech about leaving The Paradise Hideout to go to the seven walls to try to make a better promise. He then waved Emma goodbye like the rest of the children.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Lannion is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Lannion, 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, Lannion began attending school. During spring 2049, he finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories. In the special epilogue chapter Dreams Come True, Lannion lived out her dream of fully enjoying a roller coaster.

Thoma
Thoma is Lannion's best friend ever. They are always seen together, and whatever they do; playing, pulling pranks, inventing things, or running away from demons, they do together. Due to being the same age and having grown up together, Thoma and Lannion have a very close twin sibling-like relationship. They have near identical personalities and interests and sometimes say the exact same thing at the same time as one another and finish each other's sentences. They are also known to mirror each other's actions and poses.

Emma
Lannion loves Emma like a sister and admires her as the 'leader' of their group. However, due to her child-like soul, he also likes to mess with her and pull pranks on her along with Thoma.

Ray
Ray is like a brother for Lannion. He stated that he would not let Ray die in their escape from Grace Field House and therefore was brought into the plan to save Ray. Ray also tends to share his words of wisdom with Lani and Thoma. Despite that, Lannion likes to mess with Ray as well and comment on his tendency to put himself in dangerous situations.
