Due to his high level of intelligence, Ray was one of the x copies of the "Highest Quality Product", because of this, Isabella's main efforts were aimed at educating and controlling him and two other "premium" children (Emma and Norman). Appearance Ray concept art Ray's concept art Ray is a thin boy of medium height with black hair, has huge bangs, similar to emo culture, which covers half of his face. He also has dark green eyes with noticeably small black irises. He wears the standard uniform of the House of Grace - a white shirt and trousers with brown shoes. His display number, "81194" is tattooed on the left side of his neck.

Personality He prefers books and silence to noisy games, which is why he is nicknamed the "walking encyclopedia". He is one of the three smartest children in the orphanage, always passing exams with high grades. He also has well-developed strategic abilities and the ability to anticipate the actions of the enemy. He thinks more realistically than his friends.

He is able to look at the situation from a different angle and find advantages in new obstacles. It is written in the personal file that Ray gives up too quickly, i.e. he quickly comes to the right idea, but just as quickly throws it away.

History The absence of amnesia in childhood allowed Ray to remember all the events, starting from the womb. He remembered not only the song itself, but also the existence of Demons, and the real truth about the orphanage. This prompted Isabella to agree to a deal with him that included his personal safety and information about the outside world. Such things served not only as additional information about the world outside the walls of the shelter, but also as necessary details for its design to disable the "bugs".

From the very beginning, Ray considered his life cursed, because of which he did not get close to anyone and studied a lot in order to carry out revenge when he was sent - burn himself along with the orphanage in order to deprive his mother of the highest quality goods, thereby exposing her to problems. But his life includes Emma and Norman, who, according to him, made him truly happy. They were the people most dear to him. Because of which, he specially arranged everything so that they would find out the truth by going to the gate and seeing the Demons with their own eyes. Thus, he gave them the idea of escaping from the orphanage. For him, the main thing was to save these two, but he did not change his original plan either, intending to commit suicide by setting a fire in the shelter, giving them time to escape.

At that time, Emma insisted on saving all the children, and Norman, about his infatuation, supported this idea, which is why Ray had to agree. They trained the children to escape under the guise of ordinary catch—up and other games, and the truth about the shelter was also told to two more - Don and Gilda. Ray was against Norman withholding some of the truth from Gilda and Don, because this false hope is too cruel.

During all this, the problem also arose about a possible mole who was leaking all the information to mom. Gilda and Don fall under the suspicion of Ray and Norman. Thanks to an experiment with ropes hidden in different places (to Don and Gilda, Norman said that they were in the bathroom on the 2nd floor and under his bed, which he told Ray about. The next day, the rope under his bed was missing. But in fact, he told Don and Gilda about completely different places. Which meant that only Ray could take her); Norman finds out that Ray himself turned out to be Mom's informant. After being exposed, he confesses that he has been a spy for his mother since the age of six, while telling a friend about his deal with the enemy and what benefits it brings them. Ray was the one who set the escape plan in motion. It was he who took the toy from Connie and left it in a prominent place so that Emma and Norman would notice it and find out the truth by going to the gate. He also confirmed that he could disable the bugs at any time, as he had been experimenting on it for several years. Ray agreed to be the main trump card in the escape and tell Norman everything he knows, but on condition that he deceives Emma, because he will not participate in the escape with all the children. To him, they were just ballast. However, he was willing to take Don and Gilda. Norman agreed. Actually, Ray planned to tell them everything as soon as they got back from the gate, but he didn't expect them to forget the toy there and start working out an escape plan for everyone. Because of this, mom immediately understood everything, and he had to correct their mistakes and restrain mom. When Emma found out the truth about him, Ray had to pretend that she had changed his mind, and he was ready to save everyone. For the correct report to his mother about the actions of Norman, Emma and Krona, he received a pair of binoculars as a gift – with its help, according to his plan, it was necessary to explore the surroundings outside the walls of the orphanage. But on the day of the reconnaissance, when Norman and Emma were supposed to explore the area outside the walls, it turned out that Isabella knew that Ray was a double agent. Locking him in the room, she ran towards the walls, which Ray's friends were just about to climb. Having broken Emma's leg, thereby immobilizing her for about a month or two, she informs that Norman will be picked up tomorrow. Having persuaded him to run away before he is sent to be eaten, Emma and Ray freeze in surprise when they see Norman returning back to the shelter. It turned out that there was a huge chasm behind the walls, which destroyed all plans for escape. The boy is taken away, after which Ray falls into prostration, throwing away all hopes and coming back to a suicide plan on the night of his birthday. But Emma receives a farewell letter from Norman from Don and Gilda, in which the boy told about Ray's plan to burn himself and gave instructions for escape, which most likely will take place at night just before Ray's departure, that is, on his twelfth birthday. The escape takes place, and Ray is dissuaded from suicide. After that, he admits defeat to Norman and begins to take care of other children too, accepting Emma's moral principles. While escaping from a wild Demon, Ray separates himself from a group of other children so that they can buy time to escape. After that, he meets intelligent Demons, who were looking for those who escaped from the Blessed House. They kill a wild demon so that it does not devour the escaped high-quality goods and begin hunting Ray. The boy, in turn, realizes how low his chances of escaping from them are, which is why he decides to sacrifice himself by running in a completely different direction from the group of Emma and other children. After that, he was saved by a reasonable Demon that does not feed on human flesh (infected with the blood of Musica — the "Evil-Blooded Maiden", which gives Demons the ability not to degrade and survive even without human brains, namely DNA). Ray wakes up already in Musica's hideout, next to Emma. While all the other children consider their rescuers to be people, the boy guesses that they are not at all who they pretend to be, which is why he openly asks them why two Demons should save people. They tell him that they do not eat human flesh and are not going to harm them. They keep their promise and even teach children how to survive in the wild. This is where Ray's talent for cooking and archery is revealed. Later, he cracks the code from the Promised Pen to find a hidden hideout. They find the entrance there in the middle of the wasteland, further away from the forest and wild demons, at the point of coordinates indicated in the pen. The shelter contains huge supplies of food and water, an electricity generator powered by organic fuels (bio-waste), clean clothes and a bed, a garden for growing plant food, a large armory and a video surveillance room. Abilities Intelligence Ray is an extremely smart and cunning strategist. He is a very smart boy and the only one who can keep up with Norman's intelligence and is also known as the "Walking Encyclopedia". Calm and meticulous, Ray always makes plans for the future and finds optimal solutions for things. Ray gains knowledge about the outside world from the books he reads, so they act as a trump card for the group during and after their escape from the Blessed Home. Ray is also extremely perceptive, as it turns out that he realized many years ago that the "orphanage" is actually a farm where children are cattle, and he didn't even have to see reality with his own eyes (like Emma and Norman) to realize this fact. Ray was also the first person (perhaps besides those who worked for demons) to discover the physical weakness of demons (their eyes) and managed to get Emma to kill a wild Demon before it ate it. In this way, he demonstrates his ability to think quickly under pressure in a vital situation. Ray is also quick-witted, he first understood Norman's plan to exterminate Demons, and also understood and analyzed the Seven Walls of the world he entered with Emma. Hyperthymesia Unlike others, Ray does not suffer from childhood amnesia, so he can remember details of when he was an infant, or even when he was in the womb. Thanks to his natural abilities, Ray was able to uncover the secret of the orphanage, as well as the fact that Isabella was his mother. In this regard, Ray has an excellent memory, since when he remembers which books in the archives mention ruins, he can not only remember books, but also, without even looking, their exact location on the shelves Physical strength Although he rarely does physical exercises with other children, Ray has demonstrated his good physical abilities, as the Crown has reported that he is physically healthier than Norman. He also possessed great physical strength and was able to kick at the door of Kron's bedroom. Culinary skills Musica taught Ray cooking, and since then he has shown himself to be an excellent and talented cook. The other guys have seen at least once how well he cooks. Increased endurance Ray has proven to have incredible stamina. He, along with Emma, managed to follow Mister for several days without slowing down or losing him as they followed him to the Golden Pond. Ray was also able to escape from the wild Demon for a few minutes before Emma killed him. Relationships Emma Emma Being an orphan of a Gracious Home, Ray grew up with Emma and has been best friends with her since childhood. Despite the fact that he considered his life "cursed", Ray mentions that Emma and Norman mean the whole world to him and that the time he spent with them really made him happy and his life worthwhile. At the same time, Ray has a rather complicated relationship with Emma - their personalities are designed to contrast with each other; Emma was a cheerful, gullible and sociable person, and Ray was a sharper and wittier introvert. After the implementation of the escape plan, Emma's optimism, ideals, character and opinions regularly get on Ray's nerves, as she strongly contrasts with him. It got to the point where Ray asked Norman to hide their true plan (for example, to save only the three of them) from Emma.

However, despite their different ideals, which sometimes lead to personal clashes, quarrels and disagreements, the two love each other independently and help each other when one is in trouble. Ray always cares about Emma, and they don't let disagreements get in the way of their friendship, and they can always solve problems and don't face difficulties when working together. Emma also encourages Ray to be more open and often suggests that he join the orphans in games like catch-up and not bury his head in a book all the time. In the same way, Ray encourages Emma to talk, to tell people honestly what's on her mind, and not to hold back her feelings.

In the same way, Ray encourages Emma to talk, to tell people honestly what's on her mind, and not to hold back her feelings. After Emma saves him from a suicide attempt, and when Ray sees that Emma and Norman's plan is being carried out almost flawlessly-a plan he once thought impossible-he realizes that he made a mistake in his judgment. From that moment on, he gives Emma his support and becomes incredibly devoted to her and his entire family. At the same time, Ray is still not averse to scolding her, exposing her flaws and mistakes. He still tells her what he thinks and still reminds her of reality, but now he understands that she can handle it, and he is confident in his abilities. Ray is the one who reminds Emma that she needs to speak out and that her own doubts and insecurities are important. Since escaping from the Blessed Home, Ray and Emma have worked together and helped each other in everything. Due to his grief over the loss of Norman, Ray has become extremely protective of Emma, as he doesn't want to lose her either. This is obvious as he cares deeply for her and rushes to her when she is in danger. For example, after Emma was severely injured in a battle with Lewis, Ray asked Mister to take care of her, as he couldn't do it himself, despite the fact that he didn't trust Mister and didn't like him. Norman Having grown up together for most of their lives, Ray were Norman's best friends and fraternal figures. Ray considers Norman and Emma to be the most important people in his life and mentions that they mean more to him than anyone else. He thanks them for giving him such a happy life, despite the fact that he considered his life "cursed." He is very loyal to both of them, as the six years he spent developing an escape plan were for their survival. Norman is one of those Ray has sworn not to let die, and he does everything in his power to protect them, including selling himself to Isabella and willing to commit suicide to help them escape.

Ray has great respect and appreciation for Norman, and at the same time he recognizes and understands Norman's strengths and weaknesses, knowing that he is one of the smartest kids at the orphanage. Norman also has deep confidence in Ray's abilities. Having made a move on the escape plan, the two boys trusted each other. Ray believes that Norman is more logical and less reckless than Emma, and therefore trusts and relies on him more. The two, however, have opposing views on various situations, such as when Ray wanted to leave others to increase their chances of survival, while Norman, believing in Emma, wants to help find a way to help everyone escape. In addition, even after it turned out that Ray was a spy, Norman listened to Emma and refused to give up on him, and they were able to resolve their differences and help each other again. After Norman was sent away from Grace, Ray was devastated by the loss of his best friend. After that, he became depressed and lost all hope, refusing to participate in the development of an escape plan with other orphans. During the escape, when Emma saves Ray from a suicide attempt, she informs him that Norman was able to tell Ray's true intentions and really wanted to keep him from dying. Norman also sent a message from him to Emma, and then to Ray: "You can die anywhere, but this is not the place. I'm going to show you something cool, so just close up and come over." Their plan comes to life and Norman's hallucinations tell him not to give up, this inspires Ray to continue living, dream of a future like hope, and never leave his family again. When they reunite two years later, Ray cries and pulls Norman and Emma into an embrace. Ray also thanks Norman for indirectly saving him and "showing him something great" (as in the outside world), reflecting on Norman's message during the escape. It has been proven that there are no disagreements between them, since they can spend time as usual and maintain their dynamics, as in their time in a Gracious House. Isabella In his early youth, Ray told Isabella that he knew the true purpose of the orphanage and that he had found out their family connection. From the age of 6, Ray worked as a double agent for Isabella. In fact, he had been planning to escape all this time. Despite their biological connection, their relationship was purely "professional", and although they communicate, their relationship remains strained. It is also implied that both sides did not feel much love for each other, as Ray knows that Isabella will send him and his friends to their deaths. This forces Ray to determine the best way to deceive Isabella and avoid such an outcome. Although it later turns out that Isabella genuinely loves Ray as her son, it is unknown how Ray looks at her. During their reunion, Ray is again very shocked by his mother, but does not prioritize her presence, as his family's lives are more important. After Isabella revealed that she was on the side of the children as she betrayed Peter Ratri. Don Ray views Don as a brotherly figure. Although little interaction is shown at first, they become allies after Don is brought in to participate in the escape plan. Ray trusts him enough to tell him the truth without embellishing anything, but encourages him to make mistakes if necessary. Despite their initial quarrels after Don found out the truth about Dom and Isabella, and to the extent that they understood that Ray watched Connie being sent away without doing anything, they were able to reconcile and help each other. By being able to work on their differences and learning how to work together, Ray and Dawn have become much closer. Ray assigns Don a lot of things and can trust him with everything. Similarly, Ray is the only one who, besides Emma, Don considers a leader and respects him very much. Ray and Don, demonstrated after the escape, get along well despite their differences in character, and can do everything from joking to assigning important tasks to each other and exploring unexplored areas together. Although Don is the more emotional of the two, who strongly expresses his concern towards him and Emma, and Ray is more balanced, he cares tenderly for his adopted brother and deeply believes in his abilities. Gilda Although there was little interaction between Ray and the Guild at first, they became allies after the Guild was involved in the escape plan. Ray trusts Gilda and considers her more balanced than Don, but encourages her to make mistakes if necessary. Despite their initial quarrels, after Gilda found out the truth about Dom and Isabella, they were able to reconcile and help each other. After escaping from the House of Grace, Ray found a close sister in the person of Gilda. He has great respect for her and has deep faith in her abilities, to the point that Gilda and Dawn were the only people besides Emma and Norman that Ray could imagine bringing into the escape plan. He also supports Gilda whenever she bluntly accuses Emma of being too reckless. In turn, Gilda cares and loves Ray like a brother and constantly worries about his well-being and Emma's well-being. She even threatened Mister that she would blow up the shelter if he did not return alive with either Emma or Ray from their trip to the Golden Pond. Gilda is a young girl of medium height with fair skin. She wears a large pair of glasses with round lenses over her gray eyes. She has short straight olive dull hair. Like all the other children in the orphanage, she wears a standard uniform - a white shirt and skirt along with simple brown shoes. Her identification number "65194" can be seen on the left side of her neck. Emma is a girl of athletic build with short matted hair, curls of which curl in all directions, bangs combed to the left side, a curl from the back of the head stands out, as well as an unruly lock of hair on top. In the anime, Emma's hair gets darker the longer it is; for example, the hair color varies from pale yellow-orange on top, to a darker shade of orange at the ends of the curls, while in the manga there is no such thing and Emma's hair has the same color over the entire length of the curls. Emma has green eyes. Like all the girls of Grace House, Emma wears the usual shelter uniform - a white long-sleeve shirt and skirt, just above the knees, along with brown lace-up boots with a pointed toe. Her identification number, "63194", is visible on the left side of her neck The Promised Neverland wiki
