Sarah (サラ, Sara?) is a supporting character and a antagonist and of The Promised Neverland series. Dubbed as Grandmother (グランマ, Guranma?)[1], she resided at Grace Field Headquarters and was a high-ranking human at Grace Field House, serving as a Grandma. During her youth, she served as Isabella's Mama, who she considered as one of her pawns. Due to her age, Sarah was considered to be one of the house's "premium quality goods".[2]

History[]

Sarah was born and raised as an orphan at Grace Field House at an unknown plantation. At the age of twelve she was shipped out and began training to become a Sister at Grace Field Headquarters. More than a decade ago, Sarah once worked in Grace Field House as a Mama, and took care of the children that resided in the plantation she was assigned to. Two of the notable children at her plantation were Isabella and Leslie.

Sometime after Leslie's departure from the orphanage,[3] Isabella unknowingly figured out the truth behind Sarah and the orphanage she lived in, and sought to escape the place by herself. To her surprise, upon climbing the plantation's wall, she had discovered the steep cliff which surrounds the perimeter.

Sarah managed to catch Isabella with the help of her radar, as she signaled the former from the bottom of the wall to come down.[4][5]

Sarah sent Isabella to the gates during her shipment day, as she watched Isabella meeting the (previous) Grandmother.[6]

Sarah's death

Sarah's death

Sometime during Isabella's training days as a caretaker, Sarah replaced the previous Grandmother in her job, becoming the new Grandmother. With this new role, she would now have the ability to order the farm demons around, as well as the lower-ranked caretakers at the five plantations at Grace Field.

On January 17, 2046, Sarah was executed after the demons decided she was to blame for fifteen children escaping Grace Field House. She was served as the meal at the next Tifari and Isabella was appointed to be the new Grandmother in her place.

Appearance[]

Sarah is an elderly woman with short and curly grey hair. She has a large and rounded nose, wrinkles, and fairly plump lips. The upper part of her face is not shown. As a child, she wore the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white skirt along with brown boots. Her identification number is tattooed on the left side of her neck.

During her younger days, Sarah instead had short and curly light blond hair, with the only difference in her hair being a large fringe that was combed to the right side of her face. When she worked as a Mama at Grace Field House, she wore the standard uniform for Mamas in the plantations, which consists of a black dress with a white blouse underneath it and a white apron over it. Sarah was also shown to have no wrinkles at that time. In the anime, however, Sarah's hairstyle is noticeably different and has shorter hair.[7]

As an elderly woman she wore standard uniform for Grandmas, which consists of a black dress with a high collar.

Personality[]

Sarah is quite similar in personality to Isabella. Both have the same line of thoughts and goals. Sarah seems to be very strict as well, in order to ensure that Grace Field House is well-run. She also has a sadist side to her as well, telling Krone straight to her face that she was no more than a pawn. It is furthermore unknown if she feels the same as Isabella towards the orphans or if she sees them as no more than important goods. She is also very intelligent and most likely got perfect scores on her daily tests as a child.

Plot[]

Introduction Arc[]

On the 17th of October, 2045, Isabella contacted the demons via the telecommunication device in Grace Field House's secret room. Isabella notified the Premium Farms' headquarters that everything in her House is fine. Isabella's communication was soon abrupted and cut to Sarah. Sarah notified Isabella the message she received from DemonKing Name on how the latter wishes Isabella to ship out three of her orphans (Emma, Norman and Ray) from her plantation soon. The Grandmother added on how the other three premium farms (Glory Bell, Goodwill Ridge and Grand Valley) did not produce any worthy orphans for the demons to feast on, and thus could only depend on Isabella and Grace Field House to do so.[8]

Jailbreak Arc[]

In order to get rid of Krone, Isabella got Sarah to write a fake letter about how Krone is promoted to become a Mama, and how she is assigned to one of the other three Premium Farms. Suspicious of her sudden promotion, Krone wrote a note in regards to how several older orphans in Grace Field House knew the truth and secrets behind the orphanage.

When Krone passed the note to Sarah at the gates, Sarah did not believe Krone and said even if Krone's contents in her note were true, Isabella would be able to cease the orphans by herself. A brief flashback of Sarah waving to a young Isabella below the wall of an orphanage was shown as the former explained how Isabella can solve the situation just like how she did in the past. Before ending the conversation, Sarah whispered into Krone's ear on how she is an obstacle for Isabella, and how she is nowhere as capable as she is in replacing her abilities. Sarah soon walked away as a demon under her command lurked from the shadows and pierced Krone with a Vida, ending her life.[9]

Promised Forest Arc[]

On January 15, 2046, when Grace Field House was burnt down by the fire which Emma started, Isabella was called back to the gates and received a violent scolding from Sarah, who was immensely upset on the 15 orphans that have escaped, two of which are the premium quality goods (Emma and Ray) Isabella was supposed to produce for DemonKing Name. Sarah addressed Isabella by her plantation number instead of her actual name and remarked on how due to her mistake, all of the better quality goods are gone. Sarah asked Isabella why she would do such a thing, especially since she is someone whom she placed her trust on. Isabella replied how it was entirely her own fault.[10]

On January 27, 2046, it was revealed that all of Isabella's mistakes and responsibilities, as in letting the children escape, were placed on Grandma Sarah. Although Isabella wasn't able to manage her products, Sarah wasn't able to manage Isabella. As a result, Sarah was shipped out to be served at the upcoming Tifari in order to make up for the escapees. Isabella took the role of Grandmother after that.[11]

Relationships[]

Isabella[]

Sarah and Isabella appeared to have a good relationship, starting when Isabella began living in Grace Field House as a child years ago where Sarah was the caretaker at the time. Isabella was very fond of her until the day she found out about the shipping and the demons. Sarah gave Isabella the choice to become a Mama like her (just like Isabella gave Emma this chance) and Isabella agreed upon her offer, becoming a Mama years later. Their bond improved after Isabella began training to become a mama because she developed the same thoughts as Sarah. Sarah has deep faith in Isabella and her abilities, as when Krone told her about the escape plan of Emma, Norman, Ray, Don and Gilda, Sarah told her that she would leave it all in the hands of Isabella because she is important to her and above Krone in every aspect.

After the escape of the 15 orphans from plantation 3, Isabella had to endure a huge scolding from Sarah. Although it was expected that Isabella had to face the consequences of the escape, it was actually Sarah who was given the punishment. Isabella appeared to be devastated by her demise.[11]

Krone[]

Krone and Sarah were on relatively good terms at first when Krone was training to become a sister, but things turned out to be very different when Sarah admitted that Krone was nothing more than a replaceable pawn. Sarah then arranged for Krone to be eliminated.

Leslie[]

Not much is known about Sarah's relationship with her former foster son Leslie. However, similar to how most caretakers would treat the orphans, Sarah most likely put on a kind and motherly façade to Leslie over the years before he was shipped out. Leslie's mother-son relationship with Sarah was most likely diminished into nothing more than a relationship between enemies coupled with betrayal and broken trust.

Matilda[]

Matilda was loyal to Sarah and eventually managed to become her assistant.

Trivia[]

  • Grandmother's name is revealed to be Sarah as shown in the letter Isabella passed to Krone.[12] Her name is officially mentioned in Chapter 165.
  • The following are Sarah's rankings in some of The Promised Neverland's official popularity polls.
    • In Shounen Jump's popularity poll results announced in Chapter 88, Sarah is in 40th place.
    • In Shounen Jump's 2nd popularity poll results announced in Chapter 102, Sarah is in 42nd place.
  • Demizu named Sarah. She said "it is easy to make a good signature for it, and it means Princess in Hebrew." Shirai said "it's smart and cool- a perfect and nice name."[13]
  • While Sarah's exact identification number is unknown, it most likely ends in "74". There are thirty children born at Grace Field each year and twenty one years between Sarah and Isabella's birth. Doing the math, that would place Sarah's identification number somewhere around 78874 (47887).
