The Promised Neverland Wiki

Susan (スーザン, Sūzan?) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland and a recurring character from the A Letter from Norman light novel.

She was a twelve-year-old orphan who resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. She was two years older than Ray, Emma and Norman, and cherished the trio more than anything. She was especially close to Ray, and the first person who implied the truth of the orphanage to.[1] Due to her age, Susan was considered to be one of the house's "premium quality goods".[2]

History[]

Shipped children chap 17

Susan amongst many children that were shipped out of Grace Field House Plant 3.

Susan was born at Grace Field in 2032 and sent to Plant 3 a year later in 2033, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. In 2044, at the age of twelve, Susan was shipped out of Grace Field and was killed and fed to the demons, presumably those of high-ranking in the Imperial Capital.[3] Normally shipments happen roughly once every two months. However, Susan was shipped out abruptly only a week after the previous child, Jimmy, was shipped out. The abrupt shipment occurred because there was some problems with one of the premium quality "goods" that was supposed to be shipped out from Plant 4, and thus Susan was deemed fit enough to be a replacement. It was implied that Susan was shipped out to be the meal during the next Tifari, and as such did not get the option to train to become a Sister or Mama.[1] Susan was the child shipped before Marcus.[4]

Appearance[]

Susan was a young fair-skinned girl who stood at an average build, but appears to be rather short for her age. She had upper-back length black hair with two locks of hair framing her face. Her bangs were evenly cut and styled into a middle part. 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, "70294", is tattooed on the left side of her neck.

Personality[]

Susan was described as a headstrong girl who was apparently like the perfect fusion of Ray, Norman, and Emma. Similarly to Emma, she was kind, cheerful, friendly, well-tempered, and mature. She was very athletic and intelligent and was implied to get perfect scores on her tests. She was also loving, empathetic, and reliable, and cherished Ray, Norman, and Emma deeply. She always went to Ray when in need.

At the same time, Susan was incredibly perceptive, as she picked up on things that no one else did. For example, she noticed the slightest changes in emotion on Ray's face, and although she could not always understand him or the other children around her, she tried her best to do so. Despite her kindness and wanting to help everyone, she was morally ambiguous and could be selfish at times. Like all of her siblings, she enjoyed playing tag and hide-and-seek. Susan was also good with animals and enjoyed helping and healing them. This is shown when, on the day before Susan's shipment, Emma rescues an injured baby bird and Susan helps her care for it.[1]

Plot[]

Seven Walls Arc[]

As Emma and Ray begin to traverse the Seven Walls to access Day and Night, they come across a perfect replica of Grace Field House. Upon entering, Ray finds Isabella taking a walk with many of their deceased siblings who had been shipped out in the past. Isabella welcomes Ray and comments that he has grown so much since she last saw him. Conny, Hao and Sadie then run up to Ray and began chanting "Let's play." Isabella calls out for more children to come and play. Soon, many more kids, including Marcus and Susan, started coming in from different doors chanting the same thing: "Let's play." Quickly after that, Isabella and the children's eyes began seeping a black ooze as their skin and flesh disappears, leaving nothing but their skeletons and revealing them to be nothing more than an illusion created by DemonKing Name. The skeletons of Isabella and their dead siblings then began to chase Ray around the house while chanting in really creepy voices.[5]

Relationships[]

Ray[]

Susan was especially close to Ray, and was the first person who Ray implied the truth of the orphanage to. 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."

Emma and Norman[]

Being two years older than Norman and Emma, Susan acted as the two's older sister figure and helped them and cared for them on numerous occasions. Emma has a deep regard for Susan, as he 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.

Michelle, Olivia, Robert and Marcus[]

Due to being the same age and having grown up together, Susan got along well with Michelle, Olivia, Robert and Marcus and they all appeared to be close friends.

Isabella[]

Susan did not know the real intentions of her caretaker and therefore it is assumed that she loved her very much, up until her death.
