## Appearance

Norman is a young boy with short, tidy white hair (platinum blonde in the start of the manga) that's worn parted to his left, a prominently longer piece curving upwards on the side of his head, resembling a resent moon shape, and narrow, inward-tilting blue eyes. The most distinctive physical trait of Norman is his thick eyebrows. He wore the standard orphanage uniform—a white shirt and trousers along with plain shoes. His Grace Field House identification number "22194" is tattooed across the left side of his neck.

## Personality

Norman is a calm, level-headed, kind, and gentle boy who presents himself to have figured things out because he wants to appear as a reliable person to people around him. (Otherwise, he is extremely intelligent!) At the same time, Norman is a complex individual due to his conflicting morality. After being exposed to the truth behind the orphanage, Norman is revealed to be similar to Ray, as in being a realist and wanting to take a limited group of people along in the escape. However, he deems himself as being selfish due to worrying about his own life, as opposed to Emma who selflessly worries about others first before herself. Norman's love for Emma inspires him to follow her idealistic ideals, and as so he becomes determined to escape with all of his siblings despite it seeming impossible. To achieve this, Norman has shown to be manipulative, ruthless and extremely rational, having no issues agreeing to the plan to kill Krone and Isabella that Ray came up with in order to escape.

Norman is the most intelligent child in Grace Field House, consistently getting perfect scores during their daily exams. He likes to apply what he learns to his day-to-day activities, even in a simple game of tag. He is known to be strategic, analytical, rational, and possesses logical deductive skills. He is a planner who can see the entire situation and plan for it ahead of time. Additionally, Norman is very determined and doesn't let other budge him when he has firmly put his mind into a certain decision. He has a strong sense of self-confidence which stems from assuming everything will work out in his favor in the end if he plays his gambles right. He always relies on himself to come up with the answers, and even Norman himself states that he always managed to accomplish what he set out to do. However, he puts intense pressure on himself to achieve their goals, and he also harbors a crushing perfectionism where he is not allowed to lose or make mistakes. When he does make mistakes and suffers, he only blames himself and imagines that a perfect scenario exists out there, and if he only had envisioned and executed that plan, he would not be suffering.

Being an extremely caring individual who is fiercely loyal and protective of his family and friends, he has tendency to hide his true feelings of worry, fear, and hurt projecting instead of a calm and collected exterior to calm down and give emotional support to the people around him. For example, Norman assumes it’s logical that he should use himself, and be the only one hurting, rather than place any of that weight on his family. Additionally, after Norman’s shipping date, is announced, his first priority is to comfort Emma, even though he was the one whose life was on the line. But when faced with his impending death, he realizes how badly he still wants to live.

An overall strong-willed character, he tends to disregard his own humanity and worth as a person if it means keeping everyone else safe and for the greater good.

## Background

### History and Before the Events of PRGMM

Norman was born on March 21, 2034, and sent to Grace Field House a year later in 2035. When Norman was still a young child, he was known to fall sick easily due to his weak physique and health. Most of the illnesses he had were colds, which he had gotten during winter, Under the parental care of **Isabella**, as well as the happy times he spent with his fellow foster siblings, Norman had a happy childhood. Due to their close age and probably the fact that they are the top students academically, Norman was exceptionally close to **Emma** and **Ray** out of all the orphans in Grace Field, and thus interacted with the two often.

During a snowball fight in the winter of January 2039, Norman fainted due to the low temperature and had to be quarantined within the orphanage's sickbay. Emma, who cannot help to be isolated from her dear friend, sought to sneak into the sickbay and accompany him, but failed in every try as she was caught by Isabella consistently, who forbade her to stay near Norman in fear of how his cold might spread to her. In the end, Emma thought of interacting with Norman via a tin can telephone. Norman chatted with Emma and the other orphans merrily throughout the night.

In November 2039, Norman and Emma persuaded Ray to not have his eyes stick to his book all the time. The two invited him to join them to explore the gate that encircles Grace Field House. When the trio reached the gate, they all wondered what lies beyond the walls. Norman grabbed onto the giant door of the gate and wondered why it would never open as he theorized how it might be protecting them from something. The three recalled how Isabella once warned them how they should never go to the gate or beyond the fence due to danger. Norman doubted what their foster mother said. The three went back the orphanage soon after.

in 2045, Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food, and having a good time – Norman went through the same routine every day in **Grace Field House**, an orphanage where he lived since the day he was born. Under the loving parental care of Isabella and the companionship of Emma, Ray, and the other orphans, Norman spent a pleasant childhood in Grace Field.

When the day came for Connie to be sent off to foster parents, Norman, and the other orphans gave a tearful goodbye as they bid farewell to her. Sometime after Connie left with Isabella, Norman accompanied Emma to return Connie's beloved stuffed toy bunny, as the two proceeded to the gates of Grace Field to search for the toddler, Instead of finding Connie, Norman and Emma found Connie's corpse within a truck instead, as they stared in pure horror upon seeing their friend dead. The two later hid under the truck as they witness two demons inserting Connie's dead body into a jar. Isabella is revealed to be working for the demons, as the two witnesses in shock of how Isabella turned out to be evil. Norman and Emma returned to Grace Field unnoticed, the stuffed toy, Little Bunny, was left behind, which was eventually found by the two demons and Isabella.

Emma collapsed onto the ground in despair, as she recalled the traumatic scene she and Norman just witnessed, which soon led her to break down in tears. Norman consoled Emma and told her not to speak of the incident to anyone. During the next few days, Norman and Emma remained silent and secretive about Connie's death and the existence of demons; put on an innocent and childlike façade whenever they interact with Isabella, who was suspecting the two, With the introverted yet intelligent Ray's involvement, the three started to devise an escape plan to rescue the orphans from Isabella and the demons' clutches. The three learned and gathered every possible information they could get about the outside world and to aid in their eventual escape. Ray helped in plotting the escape plan.

Isabella eventually got Krone appointed as Grace Field's second caretaker (as the orphans' "Sister"), an additional obstacle for Norman, Emma, and Ray to deal with. Krone tried to get in the way of the trio, much to their dismay, they soon bring **Gilda** and **Don** in with little information only telling a lie about Connie being "alive still", but that didn't became all they had to deal with however.....

### Events in PRGMM

During there planning there escape they went into the woods, where **Nozomi** and her group at the time that had **Fran Bow Dagenhart, Ciel Phantomhive, Mr. Midnight**, **Amanozako** and **Tart**, now with **Pegasus Seiya** and **Andromeda Shun** in there group, Tart with Seiya and Shun have somehow become kids near the same age as Nozomi, Fran or Ciel which caused a bit of problem as they enter, Emma's World, Shun was still unconscious due to the attack from the **Jellyfish Saint** and now he was turned into a child, and they didn't know if they can summon there **cloths** in there state, when they are discovered by the three children of Grace Field House, Emma says they should tell who they are but Ray doesn't like that as they don't know anything about Nozomi and her group, even after Fran gives them their names.

## Abilities

Although Norman doesn't have any powers or special abilities like the rest of Nozomi's Group, she isn't the only one who is like this, but shows that even if your young, you can have stuff that would be useful then any powers (Since only the Jail Break Arc makes an appearance in PRGMM, The Abilities Norman has at this start are):

* **Intelligence:** Being one of the top-ranked orphans (in other words: premium quality) of the orphanage, Norman possesses a very high level of intelligence for his age. Norman excels in his studies and has even achieved a full score of 300 in Grace Field's series of tests consecutively,[5] never once had he gotten a score less than 300. Norman also has excellent strategic skills and frequently put them into use when playing a game of tag with his friends, Norman was also the only person to suspect that Ray was acting as Isabella's spy and as so, he laid a trap to confirm his suspicions. When he was able to corner Ray, even the latter was very shocked since he had been careful and discreet. He can easily plan his actions in advance and he anticipates other's actions. He demonstrates this intellectual prowess and foresight by calculating every plan to the finest detail, which allowed him to formulate the ultimate gambit for escape, He also discovered that the Promised Pen won't access other pages unless it is opened on the location of that page.

* **Physical Strength:** Unlike his keen intellect, Norman was one of the physically-weakest children of the orphanage. Nonetheless, Norman actively plans strategies in order to win games of tag with the other children. Thus, during a game of tag, Norman could outmaneuver Sister Krone, the latter considering him a weak child who she could quickly capture.

* **Team Work:** Despite his own opinions, Norman listens to the ideas of others to increase the group's cohesion. Moreover, when Ray and Emma fielded clashing ideas of how best to escape Grace Field, Norman convinced his friends to work together.

* **Leadership Skills:** Norman has extraordinary leadership skills, and is well-liked by the children in the House. For instance, while training them in escape tactics, Norman bolstered their collective teamwork as he taught the children how to think logically. Gilda also observed that their escape from Grace Field could have been smoother and more coordinated if Norman was with them.

## Etymology
