This article is about the Manga version of Leslie. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.

Leslie (レスリー, Resurī?) is a supporting character of The Promised Neverland. He was a twelve-year-old orphan who formerly resided at Grace Field House under the parental care of Sarah. Leslie was also a childhood friend of Isabella's during their days in the orphanage, and it was revealed that he sang a song to her which she later sang to Ray during her pregnancy.[2]

At the age of twelve, Leslie was shipped out of Grace Field[3][2] and was killed and fed to the demons, presumably those of high-ranking in the Imperial Capital.[4] Due to his age, Leslie was considered to be one of the house's "premium quality goods".[5]

History[]

Leslie was born at Grace Field on January 7, 2014 and sent to one of the adjacent plantations a year later in 2015, growing up alongside Isabella and several other children under the parental care of Sarah.

Leslies shipment

Leslie departs from Grace Field with his Mama, Sarah.

During his years, when he was unbeknownst of his fate of getting eaten by the demons, Leslie befriended Isabella and they became close friends. During his childhood at the orphanage, Leslie composed a tune which he then shared with Isabella after her insisting on singing the tune to her.

Although Leslie loved music and was skilled in composing his own songs, he did not take particular pride in it. He also admired Isabella, who was a genius and amazing athletic abilities. This is why Leslie sought to change and become able to do one thing, besides music better than Isabella could. During the free times in the orphanage, Leslie would sit alone of his room and write down his different "goals".[6] On January 7, 2026, on his 12th birthday, Leslie was shipped out to be eaten by demons which brought intense grief to Isabella.

Appearance[]

Leslie was a young boy with light skin, freckles framing only his nose, and light blue eyes. He had short purple hair which was neatly combed around his head. He wore the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and white pants along with brown boots. His identification number, "71584", was tattooed across the left side of his neck.

Personality[]

Leslie appeared as a compassionate and cordial young boy, bearing a shy, but friendly attitude towards Isabella. According to Isabella, Leslie often bore a downcast gaze as if he had no confidence in himself. Indeed, Leslie did not think too highly of himself: he stated that he was bad at studying, playing tag, and he also was slightly socially awkward around people. However, when he was singing or doing anything related to music, he would do it passionately and with wholehearted enjoyment.[6] Leslie was also shown to be easily frightened, as he gasped at Isabella's sudden appearance.[3]

Plot[]

Imperial Capital Battle Arc[]

When Queen Legravalima ate all the dead demons around her surroundings, garnering a new form consisting of faces of all the demons she ate as well as Krone and all the orphans from premium farms they consumed in the past. Leslie's face was seen among them, confirming how the boy had indeed died and was eaten by one of the high-ranking demons in the capital.[4]

Skills and Abilities[]

Musical Ability[]

Leslie had a talent in musical composition. During his time at the orphanage, he would sing, compose his own songs and do other stuff related to music.[6] According to Isabella, the lullaby he composed and sang for her was very beautiful. In the anime, it is shown that Leslie was skilled at playing the mandolin.[2] He could also play the violin.[6]

Relationships[]

Isabella[]

Since the two are raised in the same orphanage, Leslie and Isabella had been close —if not intimate— friends during their childhood. Leslie was shown to be rather shy but kind-witted towards his friend, as she was the only person Leslie was willing to chant his tune to. Leslie, on a certain degree, seems to bear feelings towards Isabella, as he was shown to blush when Isabella insisted him on sharing his tune to her.[3] Leslie also admired Isabella and held her in high regard, as he thought of her as a perfect person able to do anything. In connection to this, he was inspired by Isabella to change and hopefully become as good as her in something except music.[6] During his departure from Grace Field, Leslie gave Isabella one bright smile before leaving.

Sarah[]

Leslie did not know the real intentions of his caretaker and therefore it is assumed that he loved her very much, up until his death.

Trivia[]

  • The following are Leslie's rankings in some of The Promised Neverland's official popularity polls.
    • In Shounen Jump's popularity poll results announced in Chapter 88, Leslie is in 41st place.
    • In Shounen Jump's 2nd popularity poll results announced in Chapter 102, Leslie is in 21st place with a total of 114 votes.
  • Leslie's favorite food is fig.[1]
  • Sugita rarely asks Pouska to redo a character's design after she sends her suggestions. He did it only twice for two characters during the serialization. One is Leslie, the other is Ayshe. In the prototype, Leslie looked rather unattractive, but Isabella still liked him. Posuka understood Shirai's intention and elevated that design. But Sugita intervened and said it looked overdone; and asked to "raise the beauty" a little more.[1]
  • Leslie's dominant hand is left. He is also one of the three characters known to be left-handed, the other two being Norman and Smee.
