The children helming the hit anime series The Promised Neverland have captivated the hearts of anime fans. Emma, Norman, and the mysterious Ray might make up the main trio who push the plot forward, but there are other children that have caught viewers' attention as well. Don, Gilda, and Anna have each been given scenes that funnel the viewer's point of view through their perspective in just the first few episodes of season 2.
The way the world of The Promised Neverland has opened up in season 2 is surprising considering the scale of the first season. The scope of this new setting opens the door for new characters to step forward and demonstrate their own unique skills. Conny is one of the characters viewers may be interested in getting to know more about now that the farm has been left behind. Unfortunately, viewers will have to hope for a miracle if they ever want to see Conny onscreen again.
10 Born September 3rd, 2039
For fans looking for a way to celebrate Conny, they can do so on her birthday: September 3rd, 2039. The young orphan shares a birthday month with fans born in the month of September and falls under the sign of Virgo.
The fact that Conny's birthday takes place in the future also gives fans of the series a better idea of the setting that The Promised Neverland takes place in. This anime withholds nearly all the worldbuilding information in order to force viewers to feel as trapped and ignorant as the characters themselves. Something as simple as a year is welcome considering how little is actually shared with fans of the series.
9 Farm Identification Number: 48294
The tattoos that mark the left side of each child's neck are one of the first hints that guide readers to the grisly truth behind Isabella and Grace Field House. The numbers are eerily similar to the numbers used to mark victims of the holocaust during WWII, and surely made viewers suspicious when they first saw them.
Conny was marked with the number 48294. Despite the fact that it is odd for a child to be given a tattoo, it seems rather odd that the numbers are so large. With this small piece of information, viewers can grasp the true scale of the operation that forced Conny to give up her life before realizing all of her dreams.
8 She Hoped To Be A Mother
Even though Conny disappears from the plot of The Promised Neverland relatively early in the first season, her time in the Grace Field House has not been forgotten. In fact, Conny loved her time at the house so much that she hoped to have the job of mother when she grew up.
Apparently loyalty and kindness is not enough to get Conny past the earliest possible shipping age for a premium farm like the Grace Field House. If only her test scores had been better.
7 She Was Smart, But Not Smart Enough
Every one of the children living at Grace Field demonstrates incredible mental and physical talent. Even Conny, who was shipped at the ripe age of 6 years old, was an intelligent young girl.
If Conny had managed to do as well on her tests as Emma, Ray, or even Don, she would more than likely be one of the main characters wondering through the world of The Promised Neverland today. Of course, if Conny were any smarter, she wouldn't have been shipped at all. If Conny wasn't shipped out of Grace Field House, Norman and Emma would not have come up with a reason to fight back against Isabella and the demons.
6 Her Shipping Date: October 12, 2045
After Season 1 blew the lid off of the small but frightening setting that Emma and Ray grew up in, fans may have lost track of the genre that this show falls under. For a good portion of the first season, the show was a thriller with the slow camera movements and jump scares to prove it. Now, the show falls somewhere in the realm of sci-fi/fantasy/dystopia.
Fans of sci-fi and dystopian stories will be interested to find out the exact date that this story is set in based on the inciting incident. When Conny is sent away for "adoption" and Norman begins searching for ways to escape, the calendar reads October 12, 2045. Perhaps in future seasons viewers will get the chance to see what a human world looks like in 2045.
5 She Was Only 6 Years Old
This fact isn't necessarily one that viewers are likely to miss while watching the first season of The Promised Neverland. Conny is a tragic character that has to be sacrificed in order to move the plot forward and therefore warrants a certain amount of respect with regards to her character traits. Without her sacrifice the protagonist and the viewers would never have been given the important world building information that followed Conny's "adoption."
One fragment of information viewers gleaned from Conny was the fact that Grace Field House only ships out children that have reached the age of 6. This is important world building information for multiple reasons. It also adds to the tragic character of Conny by pushing viewers to sympathize with the others that have survived so far.
4 After She Died, The Demons Put Her In A Bottle
In the stand alone novel A Letter From Norman viewers get to see a little deeper into the night that Conny was "adopted" thanks to Norman's diligence. The book starts with a written record of Norman and Emma's first encounter with the demons.
According to Norman, after Conny was killed the demons sealed her away in what Norman calls "a large bottle." Viewers can assume that this bottle is intended to preserve the human body so that it can be eaten by later, but that is all the information they get. One thing is clear: The demons live in an advanced society with the tools and devices necessary to streamline their production of food.
3 She Was Killed With A Flower
During the panic that followed Conny's demise in the first season of The Promised Neverland, viewers may have misunderstood what exactly ended Conny's life. The revelation that demons are "adopting" children from the farm and Conny's lifeless face is so shocking that viewers may have missed the true killer.
Conny didn't die because a demon bit her head off, she died because she was stabbed in the chest with a Vida plant. This vampiric plant is used by the demons to preserve human flesh by absorbing all the blood coursing through their system. Season 2 also gives viewers the chance to see how demons use the flower in a spiritual way, forcing fans to question whether these demons deserve a bit of sympathy, even if they are eating children.
2 Her And Don Were Very Close
Fans probably noticed how Don reacted to the news of Conny's death in Season 1, but they may have missed just how close these two were before Conny was chosen for adoption. When Conny is about to leave for her "adoption" Don shows viewers that Emma is not the only character that can pull at the heartstrings with her emotional outbursts.
Don's outburst after finding out the truth about Conny can be mistakenly associated with Norman's dishonesty, but the truth of the matter lies behind their relationship. It isn't just the threat of losing his own life that motivates Don to help Emma and Ray escape. Don is scared by the loss of Conny and won't stop until all of his family is safe.
1 Mama Isabella Hand-Made Little Bunny
About halfway through the first season of The Promised Neverland Don and Gilda sneak into Isabella's secret room and find a collection of toys from children who were allegedly adopted. Among the collection is Little Bunny, Conny's stuffed rabbit.
This scene is already terrifying enough, but when viewers consider the fact that Isabella made each of these stuffed animals by hand for her children, the scene is downright horrifying. What could cause a human to betray their kind to the point of nourishing them with lies until their appointed day of death arrives? Perhaps Isabella is just as trapped as her children. Either way, it is hard to believe that she will be granted any sympathy from series fans, even if she did make Little Bunny by hand.
