She was a twelve-year-old orphan who resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. Being two years older than Norman, Emma and Ray,[3] Michelle acted as the three's older sister figure and helped them and cared for them on numerous occasions. Michelle was also close friends with Olivia, another girl who was the same age as her. Due to her age, Michelle was considered to be one of the house's "premium quality goods".[4]
Michelle amongst many children that were shipped out of Grace Field House Plant 3.
Michelle was born at Grace Field on February 2, 2032 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2033, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Sometime in the winter of 2039, when Norman fainted and got sick when he was playing with Emma and Ray out in the cold, open air, Emma was caught sneaking into the infirmary to visit Norman. Emma was then tied to a chair by Isabella. Michelle advised Emma to listen to Isabella's advice to let Norman rest. However, after Emma frantically explained how Norman might be lonely without anyone's company, Michelle decided to pay a visit to Norman together with the other orphans. Michelle, along with her best friend, Olivia, begged for Isabella's permission to enter the infirmary to see Norman but to no avail. In the end, while standing outside the infirmary, Michelle and the others happily watched Emma talking to Norman over a tin can telephone.[5] Michelle was shipped out of Grace Field on her 12th birthday on February 2, 2044. She was killed and fed to the high-ranking demons in the Imperial Capital.[6] Michelle was the child shipped before Olivia.
Appearance[]
Michelle was a fair-skinned young girl. She had long, curly blonde hair tied into a ponytail with long bangs that reached to her chin on the left side of her head. 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[]
Michelle was a caring and kind-hearted girl and treated her younger siblings dearly, evident when she begged for Isabella's permission to visit a sickly Norman in Grace Field's medical room. She was very athletic and intelligent and was implied to get perfect scores on her tests. Michelle also appeared to be quite studious, as she enjoyed reading and studying with her close friend, Olivia, to prepare for the tests.[7] Like all of her siblings, she enjoyed playing tag and hide-and-seek.
When Queen Legravalima ate all the dead demons around her surroundings, garnering a new form consisting of faces of all the demons she ate, as well as Krone and all the orphans from the Premium Farms they had consumed in the past. Michelle's face was seen among them, confirming that the girl had indeed died and was eaten by one of the high-ranking demons in the Royal Capital.[8]
Olivia is Michelle's best friend. They are always seen together, and whatever they do; studying, playing, doing chores, or helping out with the younger kids, they do together. Due to being the same age and having grown up together, Michelle and Olivia appeared to have a very close twin sibling-like relationship.
Being two years older than Norman, Emma and Ray, Michelle acted as the three's older sister figure and helped them and cared for them on numerous occasions. Emma has a deep regard for Michelle, 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."
Due to being the same age and having grown up together, Michelle got along well with Susan, Marcus and Robert and they all appeared to be close friends.
Michelle made three cameos in The Promised Neverland anime series' first and second ending theme songs, Zettai Zetsumei and Lamp, respectively. Michelle was the girl with the long bangs spotted holding a young Emma's hand while walking to Grace Field's cafeteria and later spotted playing ball in the fields with Olivia and several other older orphans. She is seen again praying at the dining table in Grace field's cafeteria along with Isabella and several other orphans.
A Sister that resembles Michelle is seen in Episode 22 of the anime, perhaps implying that she got to become a Sister in the anime. Although, this Sister is never actually confirmed to be her.
