Tom (トム, Tomu?) is a minor character of The Promised Neverland series. He is a three-year-old orphan who formerly resides in Grace Field House as one of the many foster children of Isabella.
After Grace Field House was burnt down, Phil explained how Tom was divided to a group of orphans that had migrated to a new premium farm.[1]
History
Tom was born in 2042 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2043, growing up along with several other children.
Plot
Introduction Arc
Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Tom went through the same routine every day in Grace Field House.
Jailbreak Arc
Tom continued to have a comfortable life at Grace Field, unaware of the things happening in the House and his oldest siblings.
On the night when the House burnt down, Tom was seen expressing concern regarding the absence of his 15 older siblings. After Isabella failed to retrieve the older children, Tom was seen sleeping with his other siblings who were left behind, being cared for by Isabella. Emma promises that she will come back within two years to rescue her siblings from Grace Field.
Search For Minerva Arc
Two months after the escape and the Grace Field fire incident, it is revealed that Tom was removed from Grace Field and transferred to one of the Sister Facilities. He now resides on a new plantation, but as mentioned by Phil, all the younger kids weren't transferred to the same plantation, but rather split among the four other plantations.
Appearance
Tom is a young boy with light skin, closed eyes, and grey hair that sticks up.[2] Like all the other children at the orphanage, he wears the standard uniform— a white shirt and trousers along with plain brown shoes. His identification number, "66394", can be seen on the left side of his neck.
Personality
A boy from Emma's room,[3] he is curious and likes to play tag and hide-and-seek with the rest of his siblings. He is quite carefree and does everything in his own pace. He also adores his foster mother, Isabella.
