Ray becomes Isabella's spy in exchange for goods and the promise that him, Emma and Norman could live to the fullest of their lives, pledging to use the remaining 6 years of his life to orchestrate a plan that would lead to his two best friends finding out the truth themselves.

She would eventually attempt to usurp the position of "Mama", an act which would lead to her death at the hands of Izabella, Grandmother and the Demons. Krone possessed a large and intimidating physique, which coupled with her equally intimidating facial expressions made her seem dominant, though she outwardly often wore a bright, warm smile. She has short dreadlocks and dark skin and black hair and eyes and wears standard Sister uniform. She showed the kids about the stitches in her chest telling them they have a microchip in their hearts. The microchip makes it impossible to leave their farm. Her identification number is 18682.

Krone was an individual who fought for nothing but her own, personal, agenda. She played nice when she had to play nice, scheming and plotting continuously while trusting no one but herself. She fully realized the evil of her own actions, and how the twisted system she was brought up in made her this way, but still carried on nevertheless. Her goal was ultimately just to survive, to be on the "Eat" part of the food chain. She was brought up in an "orphanage" similar to the Grace Field House and performed well enough on the tests to be recommended for Mama-training when she turned 12. Sister Krone and Baby Carol where the first people from outside the orphanage that Emma and Norman knew. Sister Krone tried to prove the escape but was shipped by Sister Izabella's Grandmother.

Until the day when Izabella told her and the kids that a house with nice parents had been found for her.

Emma and Norman called the flower a Demon Flower. Her shipping date is 12th year 2045.

Grandmother (祖母, sobo)

Grandmother is a high ranking human at the Grace Field House, serving as its leader, who considers Izabella as one of her pawns. When Sister Krone told her about the escape plan of Emma, Norman, Ray, Don and Gilda, Grandma told Krone that she would leave it all in the hands of Izabella because she is important to her and above Krone in every aspect. She serves the Demon Boss. She was the one who found out how Izabella was climbing up the wall. It is unclear if Grandmother herself was an orphan or not in the past.

Demons

Musica

Mujika (or Musica) is a demon descent traveling in the forest outside the Grace Field House. She saved Emma and the other orphans of Grace Field House from the pursuing demons. She, together with Sonju believe in a religious principle to not eat humans. Mujika has long, purple hair braided pigtails covering parts of her horns, and wears a mask with two holes positioned vertically. She has a pale complexion and wears a bluish-white cloak. She was introduced in the story as someone who is accommodating and motherly. Musica and Sonju were notified of the "goods" that escaped from Gracefield House. She asked Sonju why he didn't tell the kids about the and what would happen if they would break the Promise. She taught the kids about basic survival knowledge.

Sonju

Sonju (or Sung-Joo) is a demon that lives outside Grace Field House. He saved Ray just before he was captured by his demon-hound pursuers. He and Mujika were suspected to be demons by Ray. Sonju is a relatively tall and lean demon. He wears a hood and a mask that covers his entire face which when taken off, reveals his abnormally sharp canines. He has a horn at the center of his forehead and polydactyly, with six fingers on each hand, which are entirely wrapped with a bandage. Under his hood reveals what seems to be black markings across half of his abdomen, and black pants which is secured with a belt. Sonju is often seen carrying a spear.

Sonju believes in the same religion as Mujika, hence is strongly against the practice of eating humans. However, Sonju remained reluctant and was eager to resume his intention of eating humans once their population increased. Sonju retains a stoic and composed personality, as he sometimes refrained himself from interacting with the orphans, and during the times when he does, he was known to intimidate them due to his appearance. Nevertheless, Sonju on a certain degree still care for the orphans' safety and have faith in them being able to break the promise. He tells Emma and Ray that the world is divided into two, the Human World and the Demon World as made by the promised contract.
