Slightly is described as the most conceited of the boys, because he believes that he, unlike the others, remembers what life was like before he was "lost." However, most of his "memories" are either based on misunderstandings: for example, he claims to know what his last name is because his pinafore had the words "Slightly Soiled" written on the tag. Slightly is, apparently, a poor make-believer, but he does seem to have a talent for music; he is described as cutting whistles and flutes from the branches of trees and dancing to tunes he creates himself. He grows up to marry into nobility and become a lord.Slightly in the future he meets his wife Rosemoon Darling who is Wendy Darling's younger cousin, as a child she had a not very pretty appearance according to her adoptive mother, she had wavy hair with light brown color and she had white skin, but not so much because she was Latina and she has blue eyes and she only met slightly because Wendy in one of the Stories took Rosemoon to Neverland, until she met the Lost Boys (and met Slightly, her husband, as well as the other Lost Boys) Rosemoon discovers Neverland guided by Wendy and Peter. When the story progresses slightly and Rosemoon falls in love, but Rosemoon is killed with an arrow to the head and Wendy asked slightly to give Rosemoon a dream that was a fairytale kiss and then when he gives it to his beloved, she turns into the second star to the right of Neverland having the ability to bring the stars at night and transform into a human in two forms, one with fox ears and two wings instead of a tail, while the other transformation is without these details.Rosemoon's hair color also changes, being white with a purple-blue gradient with a wave and star effect on the purple-blue part. Rosemoon only appears in the books and in no Disney film;Rosemoon and slightly have 4 children in the future.
