Children

Throughout the *Little Nightmares* franchise, other **children** can be seen inhabiting the twisted, sinister world of The Nowhere. The children within this world either struggle to survive under brutal conditions, or fall victim to mysterious forces and monsters that viciously prey on them. Six, the Runaway Kid, the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat, Mono, Low and Alone, come across other imprisoned or killed children within the Maw, the Nest, the Pale City, and the Spiral. They play secondary, supporting, or minor roles in *Little Nightmares*, the comic series of the same name, *Secrets of the Maw*, *Very Little Nightmares*, *Little Nightmares Comics*, *Little Nightmares II*, *The Sounds of Nightmares*, and *Little Nightmares III*.

### The Child Prisoners of the Maw

After Six's encounter with the Eyes, she enters a room filled with children sleeping in beds. The Janitor eventually enters to check on them. Later on, after being captured, Six ends up in a cage in a room filled with other caged children. The Janitor drags one of them out of the room before Six makes her escape.
 **Trivia:*** The room with the sleeping children can be seen again via an Easter egg involving a room with a spy camera.
* The captured children in the Maw may be used for a variety of purposes apart from being served as meat for the Guests. Small creators, such as the Nomes, carry the coal to fuel the large furnace in the Hideaway level, while the Janitor wraps up limp children in material to send to other parts of the Maw on the hanging conveyer belt. Unlike the children, the residents of the Maw care very little of the Nomes presence, allowing the Nomes to travel more freely throughout the Maw while the children are regularly apprehended.

### The Kids from Noone's School

 **Role:**
Noone made reference to her classmates several times in *The Sounds of Nightmares*. In *A Penance at the Bathhouse*, she mentions how Jester reminded her of a kinder version of her classmates. She mentioned how when she became ill with the water sickness, the children that had once bullied her had began sucking up to her. In *The Theater of the Mind*, Noone describes how the children nicknamed her "No One" and would scribble this nickname all over her books.

### Rehabilitated Children

 **Role:**
In *Two of a Kind*, the Counsellor took Noone to see the Counties Psychiatric Institute's "Reunion Room," where Noone witnessed various children reuniting with their families. Although Noone wanted to interact with them the Counsellor told her it would be best if she didn't.

### The Blurred Children in the Doorframe

 **Role:**
In *The Lonely Way*, as Noone is about to enter the Nowhere with the Ferryman, the image in the doorframe changes into a blur of children's faces.

## Trivia

* The Hideaway reveals the Nomes casting shadows in the silhouette of children, implying that the Nomes were once children themselves.
	+ In The Residence, it is revealed that the Lady is able to transform children into Nomes.
