Abby (アビー, Abī) is one of the minor characters of The Promised Neverland and a recurring character from the A Letter from Norman light novel.
Abby was an orphan one year 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 she was shipped out.
History[]
Abby was born at Grace Field in 2033 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2034, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Abby was a fan of Helena's drawings.[2]
Appearance[]
Abby appears to be thin and rather tall for her age. She has an oval-shaped face, freckles and seems to have auburn colored hair tied into two short pigtails. 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 is tattooed on the left side of her neck.
Personality[]
Abby is an energetic and mischievous child who got scared easily. She loved to watch Helena draw optical illusions. Although, when Helena drew an optical illusion of a bird that turns into a ghost, Abby became terrified to the point where she could not cross the corridor where the drawing was hung without closing her eyes.[2] Like all of her siblings, she enjoyed playing tag and hide-and-seek. She presumably enjoyed playing with dolls due to a doll with her name on it being seen in Isabella's secret room.
Relationships[]
Helena[]
Due to being the same age and having grown up together, Abby got along well with Helena and they appeared to be close friends.
Emma, Norman and Ray[]
Emma has a deep regard for Abby, as she 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[]
Abby did not know the real intentions of her caretaker and therefore it is assumed that she loved her very much, up until her death.

Trivia[]
- Abby made a cameo in The Promised Neverland anime series' first and second ending theme songs, Zettai Zetsumei and Lamp, respectively. Abby was the girl with auburn hair tied into two pigtails spotted holding a baby Lannion while walking to Grace Field's cafeteria and later spotted getting a flower crown placed onto her head by an unknown younger girl.
- In chapter 17, a doll with Abby's name written on it is seen in Isabella's secret room, implying that it previously belonged to her.[3]
