US Backcard Story

Slate was sitting on a friendly slate humming when Grey flew up beside him. "Hello there, Slate," said Grey. Slate waved his paw, and the gentle sound of a harp tinkled on the wind. "Why are you so quiet today?" asked Grey. "I'm too hot to make much noise," answered Slate. "Let's call the rain to cool you off," Grey said, then ran off to chase the butterflies. "Come on, Slate! Bring the drum!" Slate ran after him and stamped his paws. Soon the deep, rolling sound of a thunderous drum filled the air and a light, gentle rain began to fall.

Personality
"When Slate kicks with his paws against the butterflies it rumbles across the Zhu Zhu Hamster City". and "when he kicks the butterflies really hard it starts to rain". "When he turns with his tail he make the sound of a harp and he can also play music with the butterfles".

It is also said that there is a book written by Slate in Queen Star's library in Dream Castle, and its called "All kinds of songs".
