RayAnna

RayAnna is the het ship between Ray and Anna from the The Promised Neverland fandom.

Canon
Ray felt that Anna along with the other Grace Field children potentially burdened the escape plan. Without letting Ray know, Emma informed Anna about Ray's plan to commit suicide on the morning of his birthday. To avoid having Ray commit suicide, Anna cuts off her braids to help create a decoy of Ray. Ray is seemingly shocked by this since Anna's braids were her most identifiable feature. Still, he is touched by this action.

Ray approaches Anna and apologizes for what happened to her hair shortly after escaping beyond the wall. Anna dismisses his apology and wishes him a happy birthday, which surprises Ray. Anna's words were one of factors that made Ray swear to protect everyone. Ray later on thanks Anna for her efforts during the preparations. Ray tells Emma that he apologized to Anna for her hair.

Manga
Ray is shocked when Anna talks about her intent to participate in raiding a factory farm. Oliver later comments on Ray's worry and suggests that Ray should join the group. Ray joined them and spent their trip bringing up the rear. While crawling through a sewer pipe at the factory farm, Anna stumbled but Ray managed to catch her from falling. Later, when Anna is discovered by a patrolling demon, Ray saved her by pushing her out of the way and killed the demon.

Behind the Scenes
The editor of the manga, Takushi Sugita, mentioned in an interview that his favorite ship was RayAnna. He used his authority as an editor to make Ray and Anna scenes in the manga. Kaiu Shirai added the scene where Anna was caring for Ray as a tribute to his editor.

It was said in an interview, however, by the author that Ray and Anna weren't gonna be a thing and said that if they had to stretch it, Ayshe would be a partner for Ray.

Fanon
Most people that ship RayAnna started to ship it when Anna cut her braids to help Ray. Although, the ship is heavily overshadowed by RayEmma and NorRay. It also rivals Gildanna and DonRay. RayAnna can be shipped along with NorEmma. Many people say that it is illegal for the two year age gap the two have, while others say that two years of difference doesn't matter.

The ship currently has 150+ works on AO3 while the friendship had 45+ works.
