## Physical description

### First Mentioned

Chapter 3: Rest One - Numbers

Three is a prisoner in Ten's group at the facility.

## Appearance

Three shares similar features as her fraternal twin brother, Two: hazel eyes, light freckles, and soft red hair.

Like all the female prisoners, she dons a colored gown— red, in this case.

## Story

### Past

When she is first interviewed by Gale, Three begs to go home and asks to see her brother. She says that they were both living with their dad, but doesn't remember much else and is unable to say more on it.
### The Facility

Three is overseen by Nathaniel Miles, who tries his best to care for her and gently use her during visits. However, she's still very shaken by him as she is with every doctor, even after being in the facility for a while.
Sometime before Ten's arrival to the facility, Three already had a sexual relationship with her brother Two as a means to cope with the abusive environment of the facility. She had been friends with Jade before her disappearance, citing she was fairly close with the girl before she disappeared.
The other Numbers are perceptive of Three's fragility as well. In most conversations, they are careful of any mentions of doctors around her due to her tendency to become shaken easily, especially when Mom's voice sounds through the intercom. However, there are moments where she is able to hold herself together enough for them to chat about it around her, but she will usually tell them if she can't handle it.
Early in Ten's stay at the facility, she stumbled upon her being pleasured by Two in the gardens. Two confirms afterwards that he does it as a means to take of Three and to make sure she doesn't sprial down mentally, despite knowing it's wrong. Three, however clings to their sexual relationship and Two himself. When Pickle emerges at that facility later on, Three feels threatened as Two forms a budding friendship with the new Number.
Throughout the story, Three often clings to Two and will join the other Numbers as long as he's around. She tends to be passively demanding of him and ask for his comfort often when she is feeling down.
## Personality

Three is anxious, nervous and emotionally fragile. Due to her difficulties of opening up to anyone else, she only opens up to her brother Two, and this eventually leads to a incestual relationship. Any visits or mentions of the doctors, and even hearing Mom's voice on the intercom leaves Three visibly shaken up.

She does have an energetic side to her that tends to come out when she manages to brush aside her fragility, often acting aloof with her brother and acting on stage with him enthusiastically.

Three is said to be a hopeless romantic, feeling strongly about the idea of being in love and having someone love her. However due to her close relationship with Two, she feels he's the only one who can give that to her. She won't really take that kind of affection from anyone else.

## Sexuality

Three is accepting of sex if only on her own terms. While she could be more open-ended, she hasn’t been seen in any light that could depict her as anything but heterosexual. As of the present story, she has only enjoyed sex with her brother, who is male.

## Relationships

### **Two**

Three and Two are both fraternal twins, and it's evident in her interview with Gale that she had a close relationship prior to their arrival at the facility. The twins however, share an incestual relationship, one where Three is purely codependent on her brother who only participates to keep her afloat.
Three often clings to Two and will join the other numbers as long as he's around. The two of them are generally in the rec rooms around the same time due to the closeness of their doctors (Nathaniel and Jonathan respectively). Three becomes very anxious and overly worried when Two doesn't arrive in the rec rooms around the same time as her due her codependency, and the strangeness of the break in routine. However, she is relieved when he turns out to be fine, if just badly injured.
Over time, Two's budding friendship with Pickle leads him away from Three, who starts to feel dejected as he seems to want independence from her. This frustrates Three greatly, and leaves her feeling unwanted, as she's not able to function without Two's presence. And, by proxy, she also winds up looking down on Pickle jealously for "stealing" her brother away. While this settles down later on and she is able to stop blaming Pickle for feeling dejected, it hardly changes her mood. Three continues to argue with Two regularly about receiving no comfort during times of need the way she used to (beyond general comfort).
### **Ten**

Ten is perceptive of Three's tendency to shake up whenever a doctor is mentioned, so she avoids the topic in her presence. Like most of the Numbers, Ten shows Three a caring side and is careful when interacting with her. They both wind up doing crafts and other activities together. In some moments, Three slowly opens up to Ten about her thoughts, such as her rememberance of Jade and her frustration of Pickle and Two's friendships. Three says that Ten reminds her of Jade due to her kind side, and is willing to hang out with her more as a result. Though, Ten tends to wonder whether this is another issue of dependency, as Three has shown a tendency to lean on others.
Ten is the only other number aware of Three's incestual relationship with her brother due to the fact that Ten walked in on them in the gardens early on, though Three doesn't realize she knows and only confesses it to her much later. In Chapter 81, she calls out Three on her unhealthy coping mechanism and her tendency to rely on sex to keep her happy, even at the expense of the other person.
### **Nathaniel Miles**

Three is shaken and uncomfortable talking about her doctor, as she is with most doctors. Nathaniel tries to care for her as he does most Numbers, but even with a gentler touch and catering his roles around her tastes, she still seems shaken up by him.
### **Jonathan Giordano**

Three is just as unsettled around Jonathan as she is with her own doctor, though mainly because she's still too traumatized by her place in the facility to accept any of her captors being nice to her. Two and Three often have check ups at similar times and are dropped off in the rec rooms due to Nathaniel and Jonathan's closeness.
### **Pickle**

Initially, Three is neutral to Pickle's arrival to their group, but quickly becomes upset when he forms a friendship with Two. She grows increasingly frustrated when she sees Two preferring to spend more time with Pickle, and feels threatened by their friendship due to her codependency upon her brother.
### **Jade**

Three has fond memories of Jade and remembers her being sweet. She has always been close with the girl, even divulging her deep secrets with Jade such as her relationship with Two. Despite this closeness, however, Three found it hard to remember Jade's face at some point, and felt extremely guilty over the fact. To reconcile this, she, Ten, and Cyrus made a doll of Jade in remembrance.
### **Tanner**

Three is frightened by Tanner, but expresses several times that she doesn't want him to get hurt. She has rarely interacted with him, however winds up watching him in fear often when he has his angry outbursts and lashes out. Tanner is someone who Three doesn't know how to handle, so she winds up completely avoiding him when possible as she does most negative things.
