Curly

[close] Curly is a Lost Boy who fell out of his pram and taken to Neverland by Peter Pan. He has curly hair (hence his name) and always seems to get himself in a pickle. He’s considered not very intelligent but kind hearted. At the end of Peter Pan he makes a choice to become adopted by the Darling family and grows up to work in an office.

There are many different spin-off stories involving Slightly and his origins. In Peter Pan in Scarlet , Curly is grown up and a doctor. He owns one of Nana’s great-great-puppies. He flies back to Neverland, becoming young again, but chooses to give up his youth again to save Peter’s life. Slightly later finds his real mother and returns to London but remains eighteen years old.
