18[[NeverGrewUp The Boy Who Never Grew Up]] and titular character. Peter Pan is a mischievous, unaging boy who lives in Neverland and can fly thanks to a combo of fairy dust and happy thoughts. While often an [[SmallNameBigEgo egotistical]], arrogant, and childish person, Peter is very considerate and loyal to his friends.
19----
20* TheAce: Very fearless, heroic, and a skilled fighter. And of course he can fly.
21* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original stories and plays by J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan is one of TheFairFolk and comes off as a SociopathicHero - he doesn't show much concern for his "friends" and takes nightmarish pleasure in fighting pirates, due to not understanding the [[ObliviouslyEvil concept of death]]. The Disney version, understandably, left out this aspect of Peter.
22* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged, as explained above. While Peter in the novel ''relishes'' in murdering pirates, he's otherwise very chivalrous to Wendy, a no-nonsense leader to the lost boys, and treats Hook as a WorthyOpponent. Disney made him quite dismissive of Wendy, backhandedly insulting her MotorMouth reaction to his presence ("Girls talk too much!") and laughing in sheer amusement when the mermaids are harassing her. He's also rather harsh to the Lost Boys and Tinker Bell after they nearly get Wendy killed, calling the Lost Boys "blockheads" and banishing Tinker Bell for her actions, but at least this was justified.
23* AlliterativeName: '''P'''eter '''P'''an.
24* AmbiguousInnocence: Peter is an eternal child, and KidsAreCruel, so naturally, he can be quite cruel himself. He laughs as a group of mermaids try to drown Wendy and dismisses it as them "just having fun," tells the Lost Boys that they can never return when he realizes that they wish to have a real mother and return home with Wendy, and doesn't seem to understand why Captain Hook is such a bad sport about that incident with the hand. Funnily enough, Hook isn't actually upset about losing his hand to Peter (he even agrees with Smee that it was just a childish prank), but that Peter fed it to the crocodile who now constantly pursues him in the hopes of devouring the rest of the pirate captain.
25* BettyAndVeronica: He has many girls after him, resulting in him ending up as the "Archie" to a few of them. Either way, he doesn't pursue a relationship with any of them, for a variety of reasons.
26** Configuration #1 has Tink as the "Betty" (Peter's oldest friend and companion) and Wendy as the "Veronica" (a new girl Peter befriends in London). Tink's relationship with Peter remains strictly platonic (although Margaret Kerry has confirmed Tink doesn't actually have romantic feelings for him), while Wendy ultimately returns to London, [[WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand eventually marrying and having children with another man]]....on the other hand, you could consider the sweet, demure and friendly human Wendy as the average-yet-dependable Betty and the fiesty, easily-jealous JerkWithAHeartOfGold fairy Tinkerbell as the exotic Veronica.
27** Configuration #2, which comes up when Tink is banished, has Wendy as the "Betty" (demure and motherly) and Tiger Lily as the "Veronica" (defiant and mysterious). From Peter's established romantic options, Tiger Lily seems to be the most successful, with Peter reciprocating her flirtations while partying with the natives, but she's nowhere to be seen afterwards, so it's unknown what became of their relationship.
28* BreakTheHaughty: Peter's overconfident ego takes a hit when it nearly costs his dearest friend her life. After this, he seems to have some understanding that things can't always go his way, and thus willingly returns the Darlings home.
29* CharacterDevelopment: In ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand''. In the first film, he cares very little about what anyone else wants, but he genuinely [[TookALevelInKindness is concerned about what Jane wants]] in the sequel and takes seriously the fact that she's unhappy in Neverland after he attempts to force her into the "Mother" role. He even goes so far as to apologize to her for destroying her book, and quickly forgives her when she arrives to rescue him after her supposed deception.
30* ChickMagnet: He has [[GreenEyedMonster Tinker Bell]], [[ProperLady Wendy]], [[IndianMaiden Tiger Lily]], and a [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent gang of mermaids]] all over him and easily jealous. The Disney version seems ''slightly'' more aware of this than his book counterpart, who's [[CluelessChickMagnet completely oblivious]], and in ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'' he openly acknowledges his attractiveness. Even ''Jane'' seems to develop a crush on him by the end of the second movie.
31* CombatPragmatist: On the occasion Peter needs to get serious against Hook, he's not afraid to get underhanded and can be quite resourceful, such as using some mast ropes to propel a dropkick at Hook and using the ship's flag to tangle up Hook and steal his sword after he is disarmed.
32* CoolBigBro: At his friendliest, tends to act this toward the Lost Boys and Wendy's younger brothers, often doing his best to make sure his younger peers are having fun in Neverland.
33* DeviousDaggers: Peter is a sly, fun-loving hellion and wields a dagger.
34* DistressedDude: In the sequel. He is captured and tied to an anchor by Hook to prevent him from flying. [[ActionGirl Jane]] ends up saving him.
35* {{Eagleland}}: Unlike the Darling children, he has an American accent. He's crude and impulsive, but fights for his friends and wants to protect Neverland from Hook.
36* EtTuBrute: After Jane unintentionally ratted him and the Lost Boys out for Captain Hook, he chews out Jane for being a traitor.
37* EveryoneHasStandards: While Peter had moments of amoral callousness, he still gets angry with Tinker Bell for using the Lost Boys to attempt to kill Wendy indirectly and banishes her. Of course, he then takes it back when Tinker Bell returns to warn him about the bomb and nearly dies trying to save him. When Tink's light starts to fade, Peter begs her PleaseDontLeaveMe, reaffirming how much she means to him.
38* FatalFlaw: Peter is apathetic to a fault. He does things on a whim, treats people rather insensitively and as if they're all playing a game, and doesn't consider their feelings. The end result is that Wendy, the girl he wanted in Neverland to never grow up, tires of him and the world and decides to leave. He also nearly gets killed because he won't listen to Tinker Bell's warning that there's a bomb inside the present given by Captain Hook.
39* FieryRedhead: In the Disney film, Peter has red hair and is excitable, HotBlooded, and rash.
40* FightsLikeANormal: [[NobodyCallsMeChicken After being goaded by Hook]], Peter willfully challenges him to a duel and promises not to fly. Peter actually still manages to hold himself fairly well against Hook with his handicap, but is eventually disarmed.
41* FriendlyWar: Peter and the natives battle for a game, taking turns capturing each other and then releasing them. At times, Peter seems to think he has this relationship with Hook and the pirates, but this actually isn't the case.
42* GardenGarment: One of the most famous examples of the RedheadInGreen trope in pop culture, and while his design is fairly simple, his costume has spawned several variations throughout the Disney parks, many of which perpetuate the implication that Peter crafted it from Neverland's foliage, going along with Barrie's original description.
43* HonorBeforeReason: Though he's almost completely lacking in empathy in some adaptations, he has always had a very strong sense of fairness and justice -- so strong, in fact, that he refuses to cheat or go back on his word on anything, even when keeping to these principles are a distinct hindrance for him or might even directly lead to his death. What's more, he never really learns that ''other'' people do not have the same strict moral principles, because learning such things would be the same as maturing, which would be the same as growing up. For instance, having given his word of honor to not fly in his final duel with Captain Hook, Peter doggedly refuses to do so even when Hook proves to be the superior swordsman, having forced him to the corner of a mast leading to a fall that can kill him.
44* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's often unthinkingly cruel, cocky, and doesn't have much in the way of empathy for others... but he's also capable of great kindness, he'll sacrifice himself for the good of his friends any day, and he's borderline obsessed with everything being fair for everyone.
45* KidHero: He's the boy who NeverGrewUp after all and is regularly thwarting the plans of vicious pirates.
46* KidsAreCruel: Though in Peter's case it's (mostly) not intentional.
47* LackOfEmpathy: Peter hasn't learned enough empathy to know that his first instinct should have been to protect Wendy when she was getting attacked by the mermaids, rather than just finding the whole thing funny and laughing in her face. To make matters worse, it is ''only'' when Wendy attempts to defend herself that Peter stops the situation from escalating further, telling her the mermaids were just playing around even when one of them casually replies that "we were only trying to drown her"; he is seemingly unable to understand how Wendy could've possibly been offended by this.
48* LetsGetDangerous: Peter is a boy who can fly and is immortal. Thus, he tends to treat adventures, flying, and people frivolously. But any time he fights? He uses flight to his advantage and can match Hook blow for blow.
49* LivingForeverIsAwesome: He has no idea why anyone would ''want'' to grow up. Staying young forever is too much fun!
50* LivingShadow: In a change of pace from how previous adaptations portrayed Peter's detached shadow as limply hanging from his grip like a piece of laundry, Disney, taking advantage of what can be achieved with animation, portrays the shadow as alive and able to separate itself from Peter.
51* LuminescentBlush: In the first film, when Tiger Lily goes in for a kiss during "What Makes the Red Man Red", his entire face turns red, illustrating the song's lyrics.
52* MadeOfIron: Somehow (perhaps due to Neverland's magic?), he manages to survive an explosion that can be seen from miles, and even as he roams the debris of the Hangman's Tree looking for the injured Tinker Bell, he doesn't have a single scratch on him.
53* MightyWhitey: To an extent. Shortly after he rescues TheChiefsDaughter, Peter is then made a "chief", supposedly equal to the actual chief, complete with a feather headdress of his own, and told to "teach 'em paleface brother all about red man"... who, in this film, just so happen to be portrayed as stereotypical HollywoodNatives.
54* ModestyShorts: His face character's costumes in the Disney parks tends to include shorts over his usual tights, which, depending on the costume, is meant to blend in with either the tights themselves or his tunic. This is most likely done to preserve the modesty of the cast members who portray him.
55* NobodyCallsMeChicken: How Hook goads Peter into dueling him without flying.
56* ObliviouslyEvil: Whilst hardly evil, part of the tragedy of Peter Pan is that being eternally a child means he can never truly understand the concept of death. This is a major reason why Peter treats battle as a game.
57* ObliviousToLove: Peter doesn't know what a kiss is, and is noticeably confused when Wendy [[GreenEyedMonster passive-aggressively points out that Tiger Lily has the hots for him]]. He seems to have finally realized the effect he has on girls once ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'' rolls around though:
58-->'''Peter:''' Aw, [Tinker Bell]'s just jealous. All girls get like that around me.
59* OutOfFocus: Tinker Bell gets her own spin-off series, and Captain Hook and his crew appear in ''WesternAnimation/JakeAndTheNeverlandPirates'' while Peter has only a few appearances there. In fact, Tink appears more often in media than Peter, and has more merchandise than him. Although this is probably due to the fact that no matter what Disney might claim, Peter Pan is (mostly) a PublicDomainCharacter.
60* PlatonicLifePartners: Although his relationship with Tinker Bell is strictly platonic, she "means more to [him] than anything in this whole world". In ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'', when Jane's very vocal disbelief causes Tink's light to fade, Peter becomes intent in getting Jane to believe in order to save her.
61* PointyEars: The movie gave him pointy ears to highlight his fairy-like nature and demeanor, and a lot of adaptations since have followed suit.
62* ProtagonistTitle: His name is right there in the title (or BilledAboveTheTitle, as is the case in ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'').
63* PureIsNotGood: The movie shows that "pure innocent" is not as good as it sounds. Peter's unintentionally cruel behavior to the Darlings and especially to Wendy, courtesy of his utter refusal to grow up, proves to be a good incentive for them to leave Neverland and grow up.
64* RedGreenContrast: Peter's mostly-green clothing brings out his red hair as well as the red feather on his cap, and helps establish him as a visual foil for his arch-nemesis, red-coated Captain Hook.
65* SmallNameBigEgo: Subverted; his name is small in the literal sense (as pointed out in Barrie's text), but certainly not otherwise. He's beloved and respected by nearly everyone in Neverland (Hook and his crew being the obvious exception), and it's implied early on in the first film that the Darling family is already quite familiar with him. Needless to say, he has quite a reputation as the "spirit of youth", and is well aware of it.
66-->'''Peter Pan:''' I came to listen to your stories!\
67'''Wendy:''' My stories? But they're all about you.\
68'''Peter Pan:''' Of course! That's why I like them!
69* SympathyForTheDevil: Implied, as he is shown to get very angry at Hook after the latter [[BadBoss throws his own crew member overboard]] (keep in mind Peter has been checking in his feelings regarding the capture and attempted execution of Wendy and the boys and Tinkerbell's near death experience after an attempted assassination on Peter himself).
70-->'''Peter Pan:''' You're next, Hook! [[BerserkButton This time, you have gone too far]]!
71* TranquilFury: In the final battle. Oh, he's still happy and playful during the whole ordeal, but he just got back to the ship after Tinker Bell almost died in an explosion, and he had also arrived just in time to save Wendy from falling into the water after walking the plank.
72* TheTrickster: A standard of his personality is his guile and use of tricks, as well as his amoral nature and seeking of amusement. For instance, he pretends to be Hook to convince Smee to release Tiger Lily, and when fighting against Hook, he invokes GravityIsAHarshMistress by getting him to unwittingly step off the edge of a cliff, in a trick that wouldn't look out of place in a WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short.
73* {{Troll}}: This version of the character loves egging on the crocodile as he tries to eat Hook just to terrorize the pirate even further.
74* UnskilledButStrong: While Peter is handy with a knife, he tend to rely on his agility and flight in battle. When he's goaded into accepting Hook's challenge for a straight fight, he fares worse than before until he makes clever use of a nearby flag to trap Hook.
75* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Before his pre-CharacterDevelopment, he was selfish and often cares no one but himself. That all changed in the sequel.
76* VerbalTic: His cockerel cry.
77* YouTalkTooMuch: Says it almost word-for-word, in response to the enthralled barrage of words from Wendy when she first sees him in the flesh.

82->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaeWhitman (2008 - present); Jullie (Brazilian Portuguese dub)
83
84Peter's fairy sidekick. She is quick to anger and jealousy, but is loyal to Peter.\
85\
86Go [[Characters/DisneyFairies here]] for examples related to her portrayal in ''Franchise/DisneyFairies''
87----
88* AchillesHeel: Her envy for Wendy (as described in GreenEyedMonster below) is so great that Hook is able to exploit it to learn the whereabouts of the Lost Boys' lair, which nearly kills them, the Darlings, and Peter.
89* TheAtoner: After realizing that her jealousy toward Wendy had led her to being tricked by Hook and Peter nearly killed with a bomb, she takes the blow in order to save him, then, while wounded, she urges him to rescue Wendy and the boys.
90* BettyAndVeronica: Is either the "Betty" (Peter's oldest friend and companion) to Wendy's "Veronica" (a new girl Peter befriends in London) OR the "Veronica" (hot-headed, feisty, jealous and briefly traitorous fairy) to Wendy's "Betty" (sweet, demure, dependable and an average human) for Peter's "Archie". In the end, Peter doesn't enter a relationship with either for different reasons (Tink because he considers her only a friend, Wendy because she realizes that she doesn't want to be with him).
91* BreakoutCharacter: Tinker Bell has become one of the main spokes-characters for Disney and one of its most popular and iconic characters. Disney has also started an entire franchise (''Franchise/DisneyFairies'') where she is the main character. She's also the mascot of Disney DVD/Disney's [=FastPlay=] and was previously the mascot of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection video line and ''Walt Disney Presents''.
92* ButtMonkey: Let’s see: she gets stuck in a dresser, Peter ''and'' Michael get pixie dust from her in the most humiliating way possible, almost gets eaten by fish, gets banished by Peter, gets kidnapped by Smee, gets trapped in a lantern by Hook after tricking her into reveling Peter’s location, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and also finds out her butt is big]].
93* CharacterDevelopment: In ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'', she's initially as jealous as ever of Jane taking up all of Peter's attention and employs the same antics she previously employed on her mother Wendy. After [[DisneyDeath dying and later being revived]] by Jane's belief in her, however, she becomes much nicer and helps Jane save [[DistressedDude Peter]] from Hook. She even gives both Jane and Wendy (when she sees her again) a little kiss, signifying the end of her animosity towards them.
94* ClingyJealousGirl: She makes multiple attempts on Wendy's life, a trait only slightly toned down for other adaptations, simply because of Wendy’s obvious attraction to Peter.
95* CuteAndPsycho: The only murderous {{Yandere}} character who is cute enough to become a Disney mascot and poster girl.
96* CuteMute: Tinker Bell doesn't speak, but only jingles like, well, bells. It is later revealed in her own movies, Tinker Bell does speak, but to humans it sounds like the jingling of bells.
97* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Because Jane says she doesn't believe in fairies, Tink slowly dies over the course of the movie. She's revived thanks to Jane's belief in fairies.]]
98* DubNameChange: In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Tinker Bell was given two names: first Tilim-Tim in the 1953 film, then Sininho ("Little Bell") in the sequel ''Return to Neverland'' because it had been the name used in the translations of the original J.M. Barrie's novel and in other adaptations, and it was thus more popular. Later on, she went back to Tinker Bell in the ''Franchise/DisneyFairies'' franchise. The name Sininho still is the most commonly used, though, both across the Disney franchise and in other adaptations of the novel, like in ''Film/{{Hook}}'' and ''Film/PeterPan2003''.
99* EasilyForgiven: Wendy holds no grudge against Tinker Bell despite the fact that she just tried to get her killed. In fact, right after Peter says that he is banishing Tink forever, Wendy gets him to reconsider and reduce it to a week.
100* FairySexy: The book describes her as being "slightly inclined to ''embonpoint''" (i.e. she thicc) and "exquisitely gowned in a skeleton leaf, cut low and square, through which her figure could be seen to the best advantage." The movie took this trait and ran with it. Since it was a different day, her first appearance lacked a MagicSkirt.
101* FatalFlaw: Jealousy. Wendy doesn't have anything against her, and thinks that the fairy is lovely. But Tink doesn't believe any girl should take interest in Peter, and attempts to murder Wendy. This leads to her banishment, and her attempt at an EnemyMine with Hook nearly leads to Peter's death, and hers. To be fair, she gets over this once Peter and Wendy make it clear they won't stay together.
102* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She has a cute, dainty, and delicate appearance, wears a minidress and elegant puffball shoes, likes to admire herself in a mirror, and is jealous of other girls interested in Peter. However, she's also adventurous, hangs out with guys, and likes fixing things. Later adaptations, like the 2009 animated movie ''Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure'' and the live-action film ''Film/PeterAndWendy2015'' make her [[TomboynessUpgrade much more tomboyish]].
103* GreenEyedMonster: Jealous of Wendy and tricked into revealing Peter's hiding place by Captain Hook, who uses said jealousy against her.
104* HartmanHips: Tink herself is pretty shocked by the size of them. They cause a bit of a problem when she's trying to get through the drawers keyhole in Wendy's room.
105* HeelRealization: Tink gets it when she realizes that betraying Peter to Hook will lead to the only human she likes getting killed. She immediately tells him, while possibly dying, that he needs to rescue Wendy and the boys from the pirates. During the fight she also tries to stop the pirates from killing the Lost Boys in the crews's nest.
106* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She gets terribly damaged trying to remove the exploding time bomb that was intended for Peter. Though his hideout is ruined by the explosion, both survive as he searches for the frail, weak Tinker Bell]].
107* HumiliationConga: She goes through one in the first act.
108* IntelligibleUnintelligible: The movie makes Peter the ''only'' one who can understand her perfectly; with everyone else, she has to resort to miming to get her point across.
109* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be a bitchy and mean ClingyJealousGirl, but is really loyal to Peter.
110* LaserGuidedKarma:
111** Deliberately breaks Wendy's reflection on the water during her flight? She nearly gets eaten by a fish.
112** Tries to have Wendy killed by the Lost Boys? She gets banished by Peter.
113** Reveals Peter’s hideaway to Hook out of petty jealousy towards [[RuleOfThree Wendy]]? She gets trapped in a lantern by Hook.
114* {{Mascot}}: Tinker Bell is a major mascot for Disney. Just a few places she appears in aside from ''Peter Pan'' include various advertisements, her own media franchise, various shows at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks, the ''Series/WaltDisneyPresents'' intros, the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection VHS/laserdisc logo, and the Disney DVD logo.[[note]]Ironically, some of these appearances are rotoscoped from a ''Walt Disney Presents'' opening (from when it bore the title, ''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color'').[[/note]]
115* MsFanservice: A pretty face, big blue eyes, long legs (relatively speaking, anyway...), wide hips, and a short minidress that shows off her figure nicely. Early in the film, the camera isn't shy about [[MaleGaze lingering on her butt]] while she's stuck in a keyhole, and she even takes a moment to admire her hips and backside while standing on a mirror (although she's apparently [[WeightWoe not fond of the size of either]]). Her animator was Marc Davis, one of Creator/DisneysNineOldMen known for animating beautiful girls.
116* MurderTheHypotenuse: She attempts to kill Wendy a couple of times in different films, but she either survives or is saved by Peter.
117* {{Narcissist}}: One of the first things she does while trying to find Peter's shadow is to admire herself at a mirror... that is, until she finds out how big her butt is.
118* PlatonicLifePartners: With Peter.
119* {{Sadist}}: She's absolutely joyful when the Lost Boys open fire on Wendy after she puts a hit out on her.
120* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her leafy, green dress which exposes a fair amount of backside.
121* SilentSnarker: In the movie and its sequel, before she became SuddenlySpeaking in the ''Disney Fairies'' series.
122* SociopathicHero: Willing to murder innocent people for petty and selfish reasons.
123* TheThreeFacesOfEve: She, along with Tiger Lily, is the Seductress to Wendy's Wife, which makes the three girls' dynamic a simple MadonnaWhoreComplex.
124* TookALevelInKindness: In ''Return to Never Land'', she becomes kinder to Jane [[spoiler:after being revived from her DisneyDeath]] despite having been mean to Jane earlier in the movie. When she meets Wendy near the end, she’s happy to see Wendy after so long.
125* TheUnapologetic: After she is discovered to have tricked the Lost Boys into attacking Wendy, she shows zero remorse and brushes off Peter's scoldings, leading to her banishment.
126* TheUnintelligible: She speaks in a voice that to human ears sounds like tinkling bells. The audience generally does not understand her, [[IntelligibleUnintelligible but Peter does]].
127* UnknownRival: To Wendy, when it comes to Peter's affection. The hatred and rivalry is one-sided on Tinker Bell's part.
128* WeightWoe: Judging by her reaction after she steps on a mirror while wearing a short dress, she's rather self-conscious about the size of her butt.
129* WrongGenreSavvy: When Hook finally convinces Tinker Bell to reveal the location of the Lost Boys' hideout, she decides to appeal to his [[VillainousValor sense of honor]] and make him swear that he "won't lay a finger" on Peter. She then has a EurekaMoment and adds "or a hook" to the vow, thinking that she's outsmarted the pirate... only for Hook to use a bomb instead.
130* {{Yandere}}: Sweet cute Tinker Bell...tries to have Wendy killed out of jealousy.

142Peter's trusty gang; boys who were lost or abandoned by their parents and eventually ended up in Never Land. There are a lot of them over the years, and different adaptations and sequels have different Lost Boys -- but the original, and most commonly-used ones, are Tootles, Slightly, Curly, Nibs and the Twins.
143----
144* AdaptationNameChange: The Disney version of the Lost Boys took some time to get their proper names, though by the time of ''Return to Neverland'' they are named as their Barrie counterparts. The exception is Curly, who has been renamed "Cubby".
145* AntiVillain: In their first encounter with Wendy, they attempt to shoot her down with rocks, sticks, and hammers so she'll fall into a stoned precipice below. However, they only do so because Tinker Bell tricked them all into thinking it was an order from Peter, when it very clearly wasn't.
146* AscendedExtra: In the Disney sequel they get far more screen-time and stronger characterizations compared to the first movie. They even get to introduce themselves to Jane by name, while their names aren't even ''mentioned'' in the original movie.
147* BandOfBrothers: They bicker and fight a lot, but they're always there for each other. At least until Peter says something else.
148* TheDividual: It's as a ''group'' they're important, not as individual characters (especially in the case of the Twins who are essentially [[SingleMindedTwins one conscience in two bodies]]). The original movie doesn't even give them much characterization, though ''Return to Neverland'' did a lot to make up for this.
149* TheFool: Whereas Tootles (and to some extent Slightly) was TheFool in the novel, the Disney version has Cubby as TheFool, while Slightly is more of a genuine TheSmartGuy and Tootles a TagalongKid.
150* TheVoiceless: Tootles in the Disney movie.
151* YesMan: ''All'' of them are this to Peter.

162
163Wendy Moira Angela Darling becomes Peter's companion. An enthusiast on telling the stories of Peter Pan, Wendy idolises the flying boy and accompanies him to Neverland with her brothers but must learn she has to come of age sooner or later. She later grows up and has a daughter named Jane.
164----
165* AscendedFangirl: She was the biggest fan and TheStoryteller of Peter Pan's adventures before actually meeting Peter and joining him in his adventures in Neverland. It's the reason Peter takes her to Neverland in the first place.
166* BabiesEverAfter: By the ''Return to Neverland'' sequel, Wendy has not only grown up but she's also married with two kids.
167* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Wendy is a huge fan of Peter Pan and was ecstatic about finally going to see Neverland. When she's there, she is a ButtMonkey and not treated with respect by Peter. At least not until the end.
168* BettyAndVeronica:
169** is either the "Veronica" (a new girl Peter befriends in London) to Tink's "Betty" (Peter's oldest friend and companion) OR "Betty" (sweet, demure and dependable, not to mention an average human) to Tink's "Veronica" (a feisty, jealous and briefly traitorous fairy) for Peter's "Archie". In the end, Peter doesn't enter a relationship with either for different reasons (Tink because he considers her only a friend, Wendy because she realizes that she doesn't want to be with him).
170** The "Betty" (shy and demure) to Tiger Lily's "Veronica" (defiant and mysterious) for Peter's "Archie". In the end, Peter doesn't end up in a relationship for different reasons (Wendy because she realizes that she doesn't want to be with him. Tiger Lily is less certain, as Peter blatantly enjoyed her kiss, but regardless, she is nowhere to be seen in afterwards).
171* BlueIsHeroic: Her main color [[ColorMotifs motif]] is blue and she's a friendly person and main heroine.
172* BrainyBrunette: Wendy has light brown hair and has shown to be mature for her age.
173* ButtMonkey: Her time in Neverland isn't that easy. She almost falls to her death after being shot by the Lost Boys, she's hated by Tinker Bell, picked on and insulted by the mermaids (while Peter is laughing at her), forced to work at Tiger Lily's party while watching Peter and Tiger Lily flirting, and captured by Hook, who also tries to kill her.
174* CharacterDevelopment: At the start, Wendy is afraid of growing up and often found comfort in the stories of Peter Pan and Neverland. When she befriended Peter and visited Neverland with her brothers, it is a life-changing experience for her -- while she realizes the importance of keeping a part of your child-like nature she also comes to realize the importance of growing up and that it's not an entirely bad thing. As a result, when Wendy does become an adult, married with two children, she has matured even further but still retains her imaginative nature.
175* ClingyJealousGirl: Subverted. In both versions Wendy becomes visibly jealous of Peter's relationship with Tiger Lily, but chooses to leave Neverland rather than cheapen herself by acting clingy or jealous.
176* ColorMotifs: Blue. Wendy has InnocentBlueEyes, wore a blue nightgown with a blue bow as a child, and wears a blue dress as an adult.
177* ComingOfAge: If one looks at ''Peter Pan'' closely, it's really about Wendy learning that an idealized life of eternal childhood may not be the one that she truly wants to live.
178* CoolBigSis: To John and Michael, as she loves to tell them stories and is very kind to them. She is later this to the Lost Boys.
179* DamselInDistress: She is captured by Hook with her brothers. Also when she is nearly bludgeoned to death by the Lost Boys after Tink tricks them.
180* DeadpanSnarker: Towards Peter by mentioning Tiger Lily's name in a very deadpan voice at the hideout due to her jealousy of her kissing him.
181* DubNameChange:
182** In the Finnish dub, her name is Leena Kultaseni (Leena Darling). Although her name was Eeva in the First Finnish dub.
183** In the Swedish dub, she keeps her last name, but her first is much like in the above example changed to Lena, the Swedish spelling of the name.
184* GoodParents: After becoming a mother in ''Return to Neverland'', Wendy is loving and protective of both of her children but does know how to discipline them when they get out of line.
185* GreenEyedMonster: Wendy is very jealous of Peter's relationship with Tiger Lily. It doesn't prompt her to be more than a bit snippy (though for [[NiceGirl Wendy]], [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness that's a huge deal]]), though it is part of what prompts her to leave Neverland in both versions.
186* GrowingUpSucks: At first, but after her adventures in Neverland, she accepts and embraces it.
187* InnocentBlueEyes: Has blue eyes and is a friendly, nurturing young girl.
188* KidHero: Wendy is the same size as Peter Pan.
189* KidHeroAllGrownUp: In ''Return to Neverland'', where she has a husband and two kids.
190* LovingAShadow: Not literally, but Wendy eventually gets over her crush on Peter when she realizes he'll never give her the kind of mature, grown up relationship she wants.
191* MoralityPet: To Peter, since she's the only person he ever came close to loving. He'll usually grudgingly do the right thing (like telling Tinker Bell that she can come back within a week rather than banishing her permanently) because Wendy asked him to.
192* MsImagination: A dreamy and imaginative girl who likes to tell stories to her younger siblings.
193* NiceGirl: She's very motherly and caring.
194* NotGrowingUpSucks: Wendy wants to grow up and have her own family. She leaves Neverland because she realizes that Peter can never give her what she truly wants.
195* PajamaCladHero: Because she left with Peter in the middle of the night, she spends most of the story in her nightgown. And usually wears slippers [[note]] Although she is seen barefoot when she gets out of bed to greet Peter as a FreezeFrameBonus[[/note]].
196* ParachutePetticoat: Heavily downplayed. She apparently isn't wearing petticoats but her dress very briefly balloons up as she lands on Big Ben's minute hand.
197%%* PassingTheTorch: Of sorts to her daughter Jane.
198* PluckyGirl: She's certainly optimistic.
199* ProperLady: The kind and mature TeamMom who likes cooking, cleaning, and sewing.
200* TheProtagonist: Although Peter's the title character, it really is Wendy's story, and she's by far the most developed character of the bunch.
201* SilkHidingSteel: Wendy is a very mature girl with the ability to influence someone like Peter Pan himself. During the WalkThePlank scene, she's the definition of composed, only shedding a {{Single Tear}} as she walks to what she thinks will be her death.
202* TheStoryteller: She loves telling Peter Pan stories to her younger brothers, much to her father's dismay.
203* TeamMom: Takes on the role partly by choice and partly because she is begged to. She does said role so well that she's actually the one providing the page's picture.
204* TheThreeFacesOfEve: Between her, Tinker Bell, and Tiger Lily, Wendy is ''definitely'' '''The Wife'''. Calm, sensible, TeamMom. What more can we say? She even plays make-believe to be Peter's wife all the time in the book.
205* TrueBlueFemininity: She wears a blue nightdress and blue hair bow, emphasizing her gentle and motherly nature. Even as an adult in the sequel, she is shown to wear a blue dressing gown.
206* UnknownRival: To Tiger Lily, when it comes to Peter's affection. Wendy gets upset when she sees Tiger Lily flirting with Peter, but Tiger Lily was never aware of Wendy's jealousy.
207* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite her initial fear of growing up, she's actually very mature.
208* WhatTheHellHero: After Jane attempts to shatter Danny's beliefs in Peter Pan by claiming that he's not real and reminding him that they're at war, Wendy chastises her for treating her brother harshly and acting too grown up.
209-->'''Wendy:''' Jane, how could you treat your brother that way? You think you're very grown up, but you have a great deal to learn.

216
217Wendy's younger brother and the middle son of the Darling family. He (and Michael) is Wendy's regular audience for stories about Peter Pan. He accompanies his siblings to Neverland and became part of the Lost Boys but eventually returned home.
218----
219* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Partially subverted, in that Wendy is the one who insists on bringing him (and Michael) along -- though Peter blatantly doesn't care about them and can take or leave them.
220* BrainyBrunette: John has brown and is mature for his age, though not as much as Wendy.
221%%* ButtMonkey: John, in ''Anime/PeterPanNoBouken''.
222* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He doesn't appear in the sequel in any capacity.
223* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: John has brown hair and eyes.
224* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. John has a slightly pompous air around him but is still a decent person.
225* TheLeader: John is named by Peter leader of the Lost Boys and he accepts the role.
226* PajamaCladHero: Along with Wendy and Michael, he spends his entire time in Neverland in his sleepwear (apart from John's top hat, which he grabbed at the last moment before flying off to Neverland). John usually wears a nightshirt.
227%%* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: John does this quite a bit
228* StuffyBrit: As a bit of a CharacterExaggeration from the original book and play. The original John had some StuffyBrit tendencies, but here he's ''really'' embraced the trope... as much as a young boy can, anyway.
229* TagalongKid: To some extent, as he's the Wendy's second youngest brother.
230* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never stated what happened to him in "Return of Neverland".

241* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He doesn't appear in the sequel in any capacity.
242* CompanionCube: Michael carries his teddy bear with him throughout the whole film.
243* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In battle. Michael manages to weaponize his teddy bear by slipping a cannonball in it, and John reveals himself to be a strategist when facing the pirates.
244* NotAllowedToGrowUp: An in-universe variant with Michael in the book, who is designated (by Wendy) to be the "baby" and is made to be younger than he really is.
245* PajamaCladHero: Along with Wendy and John, he spends his entire time in Neverland in his sleepwear. Michael often wears footie pajamas
246* TheRuntAtTheEnd: When the Lost Boys go out on a trek, Michael always seems to be the one bringing up the rear.
247* TagalongKid: Michael given he's the youngest of the Darling children.

253->'''George Voiced by:''' Hans Conried, Creator/JohnCarradine (''Lux Radio Theater''); Jean-Henri Chambois (European French dub); Castro Gonzaga (Brazilian Portuguese dub)\
254'''Voiced in Swedish by:''' Tord Stål (1953), Peter Wanngren (1992)
255
256The father of Wendy, John and Michael. George is a temperamental and overly-proud, but ultimately kind and generous man. He and his wife make the mistake of going to a party on the same night Peter Pan is hunting for his shadow, but [[NarniaTime the children return before the parents have returned home from the same party]].
257----
258* TheChewToy: Sometimes.
259-->Poor Nana. Oh, yes. Poor Nana. But, 'Poor Father', oh no!
260* HairTriggerTemper: George is very quick to anger.
261* JerkassHasAPoint:
262** He overreacted a tad by forcing Wendy to move out of the nursery the following day (and Wendy didn't know what her brothers did since she was surprised to see the map on his shirtfront), but he was justifiably upset about the boys taking his gold cufflinks to use as buried treasure for their game without asking and used his shirt front in order to draw a treasure map, both important items he needed for his company party where he was the guest of honor.
263* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: George can often come across as overly unsympathetic, almost antagonistic, thanks to his pride and temper, but he ''does'' have a heart, and he does love his children very much.
264* ParentsAsPeople: Mostly noticeable with George, who is not a perfect father by any means, but does try.
265* RedOniBlueOni: The blustery, temperamental Red Oni to Mary's calm, mild-mannered and soft-spoken Blue Oni.
266* SlaveToPR: Somewhat justified in that he works at an office where advancement depends on good social standing.
267* TookALevelInIdealism: After snubbing the idea of Peter Pan existing, George sees the cloud shapes like a pirate ship near the end and vaguely reminisces seeing the ''Jolly Roger'' when he was a boy, indicating that he finally believes in Peter Pan.
268* UglyGuyHotWife: He is a chubby, boorish old guy, while Mary looks pretty, young, and has a nice figure.

274'''Voiced in Swedish by:''' Gunn Wållgren (1953), Christel Körner (1992)
275
276The mother of Wendy, John and Michael. Mary is a loving, accepting and beautiful woman who nevertheless is a bit of a ControlFreak. She and her husband make the mistake of going to a party on the same night Peter Pan is hunting for his shadow, and in the novel they go for months without seeing their children, but in the Disney version the children return before the parents have returned home from the same party. Also in the Novel she and George end up adopting all the Lost Boys.
277----
278* GoodParents: Mary is the understanding mother of her children. Although she didn't entirely believe in Peter Pan until the end of the movie, she believed in the spirit of him. She was deeply concerned about her children's well-being, especially Wendy's, who was being forced to grow up too soon by George. It's worth noting that in the novel she actually meets Peter before the children do.
279* MumLooksLikeASister: Mary's youthful appearance and strong resemblance to Wendy could have others confuse Mary as her daughter's older sister.
280* NiceGirl: Mary is kind, loving, motherly, and understanding.
281* ParentsAsPeople: While not as bad as her husband, Mary does still disapprove of her children still believing in stories of Peter Pan.
282* RedOniBlueOni: The calm, mild-mannered and soft-spoken Mary is the Blue Oni to George's blustery, temperamental Red Oni.
283* StrongFamilyResemblance: Mary is a grown up version of Wendy.
284* UglyGuyHotWife: Check out the Disney version -- the mother looks pretty, young, and has a nice figure while the father is a chubby, boorish old guy.
285* WomenAreWiser: In pretty much every version of the story (including the original play and novel), she's much more wise, intuitive, and sensible than her husband.

292The Darlings' substitute-for-a-nursemaid; a huge but loving Newfoundland dog. She was originally a stray who "belonged to no one in particular" before the Darlings took her in, and though she is subject to a bit of gossip, and George Darling occasionally suspects she thinks the children are her puppies, she is as good and attentive a nursemaid as any and much beloved by the family.
293----
294* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In the Disney version, she wears a nurse's cap.
295* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Well, breed change. She's a Newfoundland in the book, but a St. Bernard in the Disney movie.
296* BigFriendlyDog: She's ''huge,'' but also hugely loving.
297* NearlyNormalAnimal: She's [[WesternAnimation/YogiBear smarter than the average dog]], capable of doing almost all the things a human nursemaid would do.

304
305Jane is Wendy's daughter and shows up at the end of the original book/play and a few other adaptation, as a new girl to be Peter's "mother" in Neverland. When she grows up she has a daughter named Margaret, who takes on the same role. While Jane has a very small role in most versions of the story, she is the main character of Disney's ''Return to Neverland'' where she is kidnapped by Hook and his crew (under the mistaken impression that she's Wendy) and taken to Neverland to be used as bait to trap Peter. This incarnation of Jane is characterized as always trying to have a practical attitude towards life, much like her grandfather George.
306----
307* ActionSurvivor: PlayedWith. Because of her practical nature thanks to being in World War II, she takes a more survivor mentality when trying to leave Neverland. And since Neverland is a more fantastical setting, it works against her more often than not. That said, it's PlayedStraight when she deals with the Neverland Pirates. She may have walked and run across the dangerous landscape that was London in World War II, but she's not a fighter, and thus has to rely on her wit, spirit, and speed to keep her one step ahead of the pirates (with the help of the Lost Boys of course). And then there's [[FinalBoss Hook]], [[UnstoppableRage who's gotten sick of her interference so much, he tries to kill her]], giving Jane a bunch of close calls with his blade. In the end, when Hook corners her at the top of the ship, it's Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust saves her at the last second.
308* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original story/play, she only appears briefly at the end and is a GenerationXerox of her mother. In the Disney version, she's the complete opposite of what Wendy was like and she's actually more similar to her grandfather George, with a similar disbelieving attitude towards Peter Pan. Justified since [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII there's a war going on]], and some people have different ways of coping with it.
309* AdorablyPrecociousChild: She tries her hardest to be practical and mature.
310* AscendedFangirl: She was a fan of Peter Pan and Neverland when she was younger. At an older age, she was able to meet Pan and travel to Neverland personally.
311* BadassAdorable: She's an {{adorably precocious child}}, and she managed to face Captain Hook to save Peter Pan.
312* BagOfKidnapping: Jane is stuffed into one of these by a rather reluctant Mr.Smee when she is kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates. She manages to break free on her own, but is instantly caught and stuffed back in.
313* BewareTheNiceOnes: She gives her battle entrance to confront Captain Hook at the ship to save Peter Pan and the lost boys.
314-->'''Jane:''' Not so fast, you old codfish! Or you'll have to answer to me!
315* BigSisterInstinct: She's very protective of her little brother Danny and Tootles. She can be quite harsh to Danny though, at least before CharacterDevelopment.
316* BoundAndGagged: When she's kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates, Jane gets gagged and tied up before being stuffed into a BagOfKidnapping.
317* BreakTheHaughty: The Disney version has a very negative and stiff attitude, which gets her into a lot of trouble.
318* BritishStuffiness: As they say, like grandfather like granddaughter.
319* BrokenBird: The song "I'll Try" from ''Return to Neverland'' explains her inner thoughts quite well.
320* CharacterDevelopment: After her adventures with Peter Pan she becomes more imaginative and more adventurous, much like her little brother, Danny.
321* TheComicallySerious: From the moment she first arrives in Neverland until CharacterDevelopment finally sinks in. Until she accepts the fun of it, everything in Neverland seems hellbent on hilariously backfiring on her.
322* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Wendy's character arc was about learning that no matter how much she might want to stay a child, she needs to grow up eventually. Her daughter, Jane, on the other hand, grew up too fast due to World War II and needed to be reminded that she is still a child. Wendy traveled to Neverland with her brothers willingly when they first met Peter while Jane was forcibly taken when she was kidnapped out of her room by Hook and his crew without her brother. Wendy was told to grow up by her stern father while Wendy chastised Jane for ''thinking'' she's grown up when she isn't. Both of them are fans of Peter Pan and get to personally befriend him but he started off on friendly terms with Wendy who still believed in him while his meeting with Jane was frosty given how she stopped thinking he was real. Wendy was something of a DamselInDistress who never once betrayed Peter but Jane is more of an ActionGirl who initially plans to sell out Peter to Hook but changes her mind.
323-->'''Peter:''' You ''sure'' aren't Wendy!
324* TheCynic: ''Return to Neverland'' pretty much has her as Peter's antithesis: Where Peter doesn't want to grow up, Jane doesn't want to be a child. Hence, she has an ''extremely'' cynical and often humorless outlook on things. It also counts as her FatalFlaw.
325* DaddysGirl: Very close to her father. She was adamant about staying in London in wartime, because she promised that she would remain there until he came home.
326* DamselInDistress: Less than twenty minutes into ''Return to Neverland'' she gets kidnapped by Hook and his pirate crew.
327* DefrostingIceQueen: After spending time in Neverland, she stops being so stubborn and regains the faith in Peter Pan and the fairies.
328* {{Foil}}: With her no-nonsense dismissal of all things childish, she is this to both her mother Wendy and to Peter Pan.
329* FreudianExcuse: Her attitude in ''Return to Neverland'' is understandable if you consider that she's a preteen girl with an absent father during a war.
330* GenerationXerox: Not in personality, but in circumstances. like her mother, Jane is a regular human girl who idolized (on in Jane's case, used to idolize) stories of Peter Pan, is taken to Neverland somehow, becomes something of a TeamMom to the Lost Boys, and her times in Neverland and friendship with Peter helps her [[CharacterDevelopment grow]] in some way.
331* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: She has one of these when Hook and his men capture Peter and the lost boys because of her deal with the Captain. She has another one when she finds Tink, seemingly dead.]]
332* {{Jerkass}}: In the Disney sequel ''Return to Neverland'' she's initially a cynical LittleMissSnarker with a bitter and negative attitude and also dismissive of Peter Pan and his friends. She eventually grows out of it.
333* JerkassHasAPoint: Jane's no-nonsense dismissal of all things childish is treated as wrong by the other characters and the narration, and her CharacterDevelopment revolves around her needing to be reminded that she is still a child. While she is rather too harsh to everyone, you have to remember that Jane is living through UsefulNotes/WorldWarII in a town regularly bombarded by enemy airplanes. Therefore, her growing up faster to be more responsible ([[TheCynic albeit while also being a killjoy]]) may seem like a reasonable thing to some.
334* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's for the most part, a cynical LittleMissSnarker with a bitter and negative attitude, but after gaining some much needed CharacterDevelopment, Jane becomes more kind, optimistic, and friendlier.
335* KarmicButtMonkey: Like her mother before her, she is a ButtMonkey that has everything in Neverland turning against her, at least in early scenes. Unlike [[NiceGirl Wendy]] whose ButtMonkey status mostly made her pitiable in the first film, Jane's mishaps are meant to be funny because of her rude and cynical attitude, and she stops being this after becoming friendlier.
336* LittleMissBadass: Compared to her mother, she's involved in more action scenes, particularly in the climax when she stands up to Hook and is able to rescue the Lost Boys.
337* LittleMissSnarker: She got Peter so good at one point, he actually fell out of the air.
338-->"Or... maybe you're full of hot air."
339* MilitaryBrat: Since she was a smaller child, her and Danny's father has been fighting in the British Army.
340* MistakenIdentity: Jane was kidnapped because Hook mistook her for her mother Wendy.
341* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jane starts to really regret betraying Peter to Hook. She also feels bad when she finds out Tinkerbell is slowly dying because she says she doesn’t believe in fairies. Her crying over Tink’s supposed death is what seals Jane’s remorse over accidentally killing Tink.
342* NiceGirl: After gaining some much needed CharacterDevelopment, Jane becomes this. She's more kind, optimistic, and friendlier.
343* NotSoStoic: Before being taken to Neverland, while taking notes about necessities of the war from the radio, she briefly takes off her headphones to listen to Wendy's stories of Peter Pan.
344* OneOfTheBoys: Over the course of ''Return to Neverland'', she eventually becomes this with the Lost Boys and very happy about it.
345* {{Pajama Clad Hero}}ine: Like her mother in the first film, she spends most of the sequel in her nightgown.
346* TheSmurfettePrinciple: In ''Return to Neverland'' Jane is dubbed the first ever Lost Girl. This doesn't last long, though, as she ultimately decides to return to her family.
347* SpinOffSpring: Her mother was deuteragonist of the first film. In the sequel, she's the main character.
348* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jane looks like Wendy as a child, except with a bob haircut instead of RegalRinglets and a bow. Deconstructed, as their strong resemblance causes Captain Hook and his Crew to kidnap her. They thought she was Wendy. Apparently, Hook did not realize that Wendy could have aged in the decades since they last interacted.
349* TookALevelInIdealism: Her time in Neverland helped reignite her childlike wonder she lost as a child.
350* TookALevelInKindness: Jane becomes more kinder during her time in Neverland, losing her negative attitude that made her come across as a {{jerkass}}.
351* {{Tsundere}}: Type-A. While she’s harsh and rude to Peter Pan, she kindly respects him before attempting to go home on her own.
352* UsedToBeASweetKid: At first, Jane is an imaginative young girl, who loves hearing Wendy's stories of Peter Pan. However, when World War II hits, Jane is forced to grow up quickly. She becomes bitterly cynical and practical (much like her maternal grandfather, George), and loses her faith in things like Peter Pan and fairies.

359
360Daniel (or better known as Danny) is the son of Edward and Wendy Darling, Jane's younger brother, and an avid believer of Peter Pan.
361----
362* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Subverted. Danny is actually quite close to Jane and the brief strain they have in their relationship is from her harshly telling him to grow up.
363* ABirthdayNotABreak: Subverted. His birthday happens after the TimeSkip and it looks like everything does go wrong: Growing up in war, father away fighting in said war, bombs dropping from the sky, getting socks as a birthday present from Jane, Wendy getting the news that he and his sister will be sent out of the country, and being brought to tears by Jane harshly telling to grow up and that Peter Pan isn't real. However, the ending practically takes away all of these troubles -- Jane returns from Neverland and mends their relationship, he gets to see the real life Peter Pan, the war has apparently ended, and his father has returned home.
364* CanonForeigner: In the original story, Jane doesn't appear to have any siblings.
365* ChildrenAreInnocent: He is an innocent boy (as is made evident of his dislike of war and war devices, such as bomber planes and their bombs).
366* FamilyEyeResemblance: The only physical difference he has from his uncle Michael is his eyes, which are green instead of blue. He gets them from his father Edward.
367* {{Fanboy}}: He deeply believes in Peter Pan and tries to emulate him right down to the same colored hat with the red feather and a wooden sword.
368* GenerationXerox: Downplayed. He's a near [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute spitting image]] of his maternal uncle, Michael Darling -- Same [[UncannyFamilyResemblance looks]], [[{{Keet}} energy]], [[ChildrenAreInnocent innocence]], and [[{{Fanboy}} idolization]] of Peter Pan. The key difference is that, unlike his uncles, mother, and sister, Danny didn't go to Neverland.
369* {{Keet}}: Danny is a very adventurous and fun-loving 4-year-old boy.
370* MilitaryBrat: Since he was an infant, his and Jane's father has been fighting in the British Army.
371* SpinOffSpring: Subverted. He is Wendy's son and Jane's younger brother but doesn't get involved in the plot after Jane is kidnapped because he already has plenty of faith in Peter Pan.
372* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For his Uncle Michael -- they have similar physical characteristics and innocent nature.
373* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Falling under SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute, Danny looks ''near'' identical to his Uncle Michael, with the only difference being in eye color (Michael had blue, Danny has green).

381Edward is Wendy's husband, the father of Jane and Danny, and is currently fighting in World War II.
382----
383* ActionDad: He's the father of two and is a soldier of the British Army.
384* DadsOffFightingInTheWar: Is forced to leave his wife and children to fight in the war.
385* DisappearedDad: He had to leave his family when his children were still very young (especially Danny) to fight in the war.
386* FirstLove: For Wendy. While Peter Pan was her first crush, she ultimately ended up falling in love with and marrying Edward.
387* {{Foil}}: To Peter Pan. Both of them are Wendy's love interests and signify some kind of growth with her. Peter is the main character, her crush in the first film, but never wanted to grow up and helped Wendy to realize that the sour side of remaining a child forever; Edward is a SatelliteCharacter, Wendy's FirstLove and husband by the second film, and signifies how that despite growing up into an adult, Wendy has found a partner to be with.
388* NamedByTheAdaptation: In the original story, his name is not mentioned when Wendy grew up and married him. Though his surname remains unknown.
389* NiceGuy: Edward is a caring, soft-spoken and loving husband and father.
390* SatelliteCharacter: Doesn't get much characterization, and only serves as a reason behind Jane trying to behave like an adult.

396
397Nana II is Jane, Danny, Edward, and Wendy's pet St. Bernard. She is most likely a descendant of Nana.
398----
399* BigFriendlyDog: As big and lovable as her predecessor.
400* CanineCompanion: To Jane, when they go out in the beginning of the sequel to get Danny's birthday present.
401* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Nana. Both of them are [[BigFriendlyDog friendly]] St. Bernards who are the Darling family's pet and act as a caretaker of sorts. However, while Nana took care of the children by being a nanny and lived in relatively peaceful times, Nana II saw war for a certain amount of time and would protect Jane when they went out together.
402* DeadGuyJunior: A most likely descendant of Nana and named after her.
403* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: After Jane's harsh outburst at Danny which resulted in him running off in tears, Wendy gives her daughter a WhatTheHellHero moment followed by Nana II leaving the nursery out of disappointment.
404* GenerationXerox: In ''Return to Neverland'', she replaces Nana as the latter's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute. Nana II looks and acts almost exactly like Nana -- the main difference being that she wears a war helmet and backpack rather than the nurse's cap of the original Nana.
405* MeaningfulName: Named in [[DeadGuyJunior honor]] of the first Nana and looks ''very'' much like her ancestor.
406* UncannyFamilyResemblance: She is most likely a descendant of Nana and looks exactly like her.

415
416The BigBad of the novel and all of its adaptations. One of the greatest pirates in history, Captain Hook's right hand (left hand in most of the adaptations) was chopped off by Peter and fed to a crocodile who now has a taste for Hook. He has a personal grudge to settle with Peter because of this.
417----
418* AdaptationalComicRelief: The film turns him into a LaughablyEvil ButtMonkey who regularly suffers AmusingInjuries, especially in his combat against the crocodile.
419* AdaptationalDyeJob: His eyes are green in the first film, but they become brown in ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand''.
420* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the original novel and play, Hook is easily fooled by Peter Pan's [[VoiceChangeling Hook imitation]], to the point he actually doubts himself to be the real Hook and couldn't guess correctly that the voice imitator is Peter Pan until Peter cockily spells it out for him. In the animated adaptation, Hook immediately deduces the Hook imposter to be Peter himself and manages to locate Peter's hiding location without giving himself away until the very last second.
421* AdaptationalWimp: As Internet reviewer Blog/UnshavedMouse [[http://unshavedmouse.com/2012/11/08/disney-reviews-by-the-unshaved-mouse-14-peter-pan/ notes]]:
422-->''Even his own men don't seem to fear him and he's murdering them on a regular basis! [The book] mentions that Hook is feared by "the Sea-Cook". As in, [[Literature/TreasureIsland Long John Freakin' Silver]] was afraid of this guy. The Disney version wouldn't scare Captain Crunch.''
423** It's also worth noting that the original book and play both have Hook FaceDeathWithDignity once Peter defeats him and the crocodile catches up with him. Disney's cartoon changes this to a slapstick example of ExitPursuedByABear.
424* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The original Hook is obsessed with order, cleanliness and "good form," so much so that he disembowels his own man for wrinkling his collar. The Disney version has none of that, and says "Blast good form!" when Smee brings it up.
425* AdaptationNameChange: In the original novel, "Hook" is just a nickname and his real name is [[TheScottishTrope too feared to be said out loud]]. However, most adaptations have his real name be James Hook even before he lost his hand.
426* AnythingButThat: His greatest fear is the crocodile.
427* AxCrazy: ''Very'' murder happy, even more so then most Disney villains, his EstablishingCharacterMoment even has him [[OffingTheAnnoyance randomly killing one of his own men for accidentally interrupting his monologue]]
428* BadBoss: See EstablishingCharacterMoment for just one example. The only member of his crew that he treats with any sort of respect is Mr. Smee, and even then, it's ''very'' limited.
429* BegTheDog: For as often as he beats and berates Smee, his name is the first Hook will call for help whenever the crocodile has it's eyes on the rest of him.
430* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's largely a comic villain, with his bluster and hamminess played for maximum laughter. But Hook is still the most feared and famous pirate in all the world for a ''reason.'' He casually kills his own men without a second thought, kidnaps Tiger Lily and nearly drowns her (which shows off his EvilGenius side, as he knows that drowning is the worst possible death a Neverland Native can endure--they can't pass into the next world if they die in water), brilliantly exploits Tinker Bell's [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] for Wendy to get her to reveal Peter Pan's hideout, would have killed Peter via bomb if Tink hadn't escaped, and almost gets away with forcing the Darling children and Lost Boys to walk the plank. If it wasn't for his single-minded obsession with Pan and crippling fear of Tick-Tock the crocodile, he'd be virtually unbeatable.
431* BigBad: The main villain in all of the adaptations.
432* ButtMonkey: Especially in the scenes with the crocodile. But he's ridiculed a lot and suffers AmusingInjuries even when the crocodile is not around.
433* ClassicVillain: He commits the [[SevenDeadlySins deadly sins]] of Pride and Wrath.
434* CombatPragmatist: When Peter realizes that he has the high ground and gives Hook a hand up to make it a fair fight, Hook bites him and strikes quickly and viciously. This likely just feeds his GreenEyedMonster status below, as it drives home to him that Peter has a lot more "good form" than him.
435* ComedicUnderwearExposure:
436** Subverted in the first movie. When Hook is left dangling at the edge of a cliff after losing to Pan, the crocodile shows up and tries to pull him into the water by using its jaws to grab Hook's trousers. Hook manages to hold onto his pants in an attempt to preserve his dignity, but it causes him to lose his grip on the cliff and fall into the water with the crocodile.
437** Played straight in the sequel: When the octopus mistakes Hook for a codfish, it grabs Hook's legs with his arms in an attempt to eat him, and accidentally pulls off Hook's pants in front of his entire crew to reveal he wears heart-shaped boxers underneath.
438* CruelMercy: Hook spares Jane by taunting her and exposing her secret about doing the deed which she didn’t agree on only for him to keep Peter Pan.
439* TheDandy: He's compared to Charles II.
440* DastardlyWhiplash: Twirly mustache? Check. [[SinisterSchnoz Big nose?]] Check. ThinChinOfSin? Check. [[GoodSmokingEvilSmoking Smoking cigars?]] Check. AntiquatedLinguistics, delivered in a [[LargeHam hammy manner]]? Check.[[note]]Voiced by Hans Conried, a.k.a. [[WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight Dudley Do-Right's arch-nemesis Snidely Whiplash]], and the Grinch in WesternAnimation/HalloweenIsGrinchNight.[[/note]] [[HairTriggerTemper Bad temper?]] Check. BumblingSidekick? Check. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Constant failure at his schemes?]] Double check!
441* DeadlyEuphemism: To "shake hands" means to be clawed to death with his hook.
442* DeadpanSnarker: Hook can be sarcastic especially towards his men's stupidly especially Mr Smee.
443* DirtyCoward:
444** In the book, for all his wicked ways, Hook displayed a lot of VillainousValor and even the few times he ''was'' afraid (unless the crocodile was involved) he stood his ground. The Disney version is a coward -- he'll put on a show of bravery as long as everything is going his way, but as soon as danger threatens, he has a tendency to panic.
445** In the sequel, Hook captures Jane and mercilessly tries to feed her to the octopus in an attempt to kill both her and Pan. However, when the plan backfires and the octopus eyes Hook and tries to eat him by pulling him off the ship, a terrified Hook shamelessly begs Smee to save him.
446* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He is so annoyed by a pirate's off-key singing that he absent-mindedly shoots him and lets him fall down into the sea, completely undisturbed.
447* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He {{invoke|dTrope}}s this in the sequel, where he cites going back to his old Mama Hook as one of the reasons he needs Jane to help him escape Neverland.
448* EvilGenius: You wouldn't see it easily because of his hammy personality and how incompetent he can get when Peter Pan's around, or just as terrified of the Crocodile, but when they're not around, he's a genuinely intelligent man that uses his charm and wit to get what he wants. He exploited Tinkerbell and Jane when they were at their lowest points, and through the deals he made with them, [[LoopholeAbuse he deliberately made loopholes in them so he can screw them over in some shape or form]]. He has knowledge on the Native's culture if his comment on Tiger Lily's soul not moving on if she drowned as a way to get her to sell out Peter Pan says anything. And finally, he goads Peter into a fair fight in the original so that he has a better advantage against him; and he nearly won that fight. But he didn't count on Peter [[IndyPloy thinking fast on his feet]].
449* EvilIsHammy: Hans Conried, the voice of Captain Hook, was clearly having a blast while recording his lines.
450-->'''''[+++ "[[SayMyName SMEEEEEEE!!!!]]" +++]'''''
451* ExitPursuedByABear: He is last seen swimming away from the crocodile.
452* FashionableEvil: He may be an evil pirate, but he's got quite the dapper coat and hat that gives him an instantly recognizable look. Even Peter wears them after Hook's defeated!
453* FauxAffablyEvil: He's often jovial or extravagantly courteous (especially with Wendy), but he keeps up the same attitude while making people walk the plank.
454* {{Foil}}: To Wendy. Both have an obsession with Peter Pan and have a reason to want to stay on Neverland. After growing up hearing stories about him, Wendy develops a crush on Peter and initially wanted to go to Neverland so she can go on adventures with him and never grow up. However, Wendy eventually realizes the [[ButtMonkey physical abuse]], [[BreakTheCutie mental stress]], and [[DudeWheresMyRespect disrespect]] she endured on Neverland wasn't worth the effort of staying, so she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decided home was much better]] and that growing up was important. Hook, on the other hand (no pun intended), wants to kill Pan for the constant humiliation the latter has dealt him time and again, especially for the incident regarding the crocodile. It would greatly benefit his mental health and self-esteem to leave Neverland with his crew, but Hook utterly refuses to do so until he's had his revenge. While Wendy went on to lead a happy life growing up to adulthood, Captain Hook is forever doomed to a life of misery chasing a goal he'll never reach.
455* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Implied when the other pirates are throwing knives at the cabin door with his drawing on it.
456* GreenEyedMonster: Hook's motivation for hunting Peter is his cocky attitude and "good form" (charisma), which Peter maintains [[TheAce without trying or even realizing it]]. Hook believes this is the best form to have.
457* HairTriggerTemper: He has a violent temper that can not only make him unpredictable, but also might lead to someone dying, usually on his side since his crew [[SurroundedByIdiots aren't the brightest]]. But Peter tends to get his blood boiling the most out of anyone.
458* HookHand: The master of this trope. He apparently considers it more useful than his original hand.
459* HumiliationConga: Fights between Peter and Hook are so lopsided that they devolve into a series of terrifying and shameful experiences for Hook.
460* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Captain Hook is always dressed in his best clothes.
461* ImprobableAimingSkills: In his EstablishingCharacterMoment, Hook shoots one of his own crew, who is sitting way up in the rigging, with a flintlock pistol (a weapon not known for its range), and barely bothers to line up the shot.
462* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's a legitimate threat to everyone... everyone ''except'' his two greatest enemies, Peter Pan and the crocodile.
463* IronicallyDisabledArtist: Captain Hook plays a melancholy rendition of his own leitmotiv on an old but fancy piano located on his ship whilst trying to convince Tinker Bell to betray Peter Pan.
464* {{Jerkass}}: Justified reason and the occasional sympathetic moments aside, Captain Hook is, at his worst, a pugnacious, callous pirate who's all too eager to KickTheDog and murder a group of children (who, by all accounts and purposes, don't know what they are doing is wrong) in cold blood. And let's not forget his tendency to kill his own crew for slight mistakes, such as bothering him by singing off-key.
465* KarmicButtMonkey: Along with [[WesternAnimation/TheAristocats Edgar]], he's probably one of the Disney villains who get more slapstick and humiliations in the entire film. He deserves it for being an evil pirate who WouldHurtAChild.
466* LaughablyEvil: He is a comedic villain, with extremely hammy mannerisms and getting comically chased around by the crocodile.
467* ManipulativeBastard:
468** One of the reasons why he's a danger to everyone is that he's quite an expert on exploiting others' emotions and problems if it brings him one step closer to killing Peter Pan. He manipulated Tinkerbell into telling him where Peter's hideout is with the promise of getting rid of Wendy, trapping Tink in a lantern once she does, does the same with Jane to get her to sell out Peter Pan and the Lost Boys with the promise of taking her back to London, leaving her stranded once she (unintentionally) does the deed.
469** While less of a danger to Peter since he's also a little [[TheTrickster wily]], he still manages to trick him. He goads him to a fair fight by calling him a coward for flying away all the time, which gave him an advantage of being the better swordsman on ground. If it weren't for Peter acting fast, Hook would've killed him and won.
470* MasterSwordsman: He is a pirate captain after all. He gets to show his sword skills in the first movie in the ClimacticBattle when Peter keeps his feet to the ground. Safe to say, he gave Peter a bit of a hard time in that fight, and manages to disarm him.
471* MeaningfulName: With an attire resembling UsefulNotes/CharlesII's and a resemblance to the Stuarts, his given name of "James" becomes even more appropriate given the seven Stuart kings with that name. Of course, this all applies to the literary incarnation; the Charles II-inspired attire and resemblance to the Stuarts seldom appears in visual adaptations.
472* MilesGloriosus: Whenever Tick-Tock the crocodile is lurking about, he runs away as quickly as possible to avoid being eaten by Tick-Tock, who hungrily chases him out of Neverland.
473* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he's Neverland's ButtMonkey, he's also a danger to anyone who's not Peter Pan or the Crocodile, he comes close to actually killing Pan several times, and he kills his own men without batting an eye[[note]]We see him kill one [[DisproportionateRetribution for singing off-key]], and an offhand comment by Smee implies that it's not the only member of his crew he's killed[[/note]].
474* OhCrap: This is Hook's default reaction whenever he hears the "tick-tock" sounds, since it always alerts him to the crocodile's prescene.
475* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He wants to be the one to defeat Peter.
476* {{Pirate}}: He and [[Literature/TreasureIsland Long John Silver]] probably share TropeCodifier status for the villainous pirate.
477* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He refers to the Indians on Never Land as "redskins". He also says, "A jealous female can be tricked into anything!"
478* PragmaticVillainy: While he does have lines that even he wouldn't cross, ''whenever'' Captain Hook does something seemingly nice or selfless, he ''always'' does it if it's in his benefit or gets him ahead somehow.
479* RedRightHand: Come on, you really thought a guy with a hook for a hand was going to be good?
480* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the book, he dies after being eaten by the crocodile, but in the Disney movie, he immediately jumps out of the crocodile's mouth unharmed shortly after being swallowed up and is later seen swimming away screaming for Smee, with the crocodile still behind him. This change to the story was actually encouraged by Creator/WaltDisney himself, who (correctly) guessed that Hook would be popular with the audience and that they wouldn't want to see him killed.
481* [[StrongerThanTheyLook Stronger Than He Looks]]: Compared to his crew, Hook is pretty slim with no visible muscle in his clothes; but he's the captain for a reason. Not only was he able to throw Mr. Starkey over the ship and grab and lift Mr. Smee with just his hook, but he can open the crocodile's jaws like it's nothing. The only one with matched strength is Peter Pan, who can hold his own against Hook in a swordfight; but even then, he sometimes struggle since [[MasterSwordsman Hook's more experienced with a sword]].
482* ThinChinOfSin: Has a long thin chin, as shown above.
483* UnstoppableRage: He already had a trigger-happy temper to being with, but in the sequel, when Jane starts mucking up his plans in the ClimacticBattle, any self-control he had (which let's be honest, there's not a lot of that to begin with), is completely gone and he chases after Jane hell-bent on killing her. Counts as a VillainousBreakdown as well.
484-->'''''"I'VE JUST HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOUR CHILDISH GAMES!!"'''''
485* VillainousValor: Hook has a rather gentlemanly code of conduct, as seen when he genuinely offers the Darlings and Lost Boys the chance to join his crew rather than die. He also makes a point of [[IGaveMyWord keeping his word]]: When Tinker Bell agrees to reveal the location of the Lost Boys' hideout, she makes the captain swear that "he won't lay a finger--or a hook--on Peter Pan." He agrees to the deal and, upon finding the lair, reminds Smee that "Captain Hook never breaks a promise." It's then [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when he lowers a ''bomb'' into the hideout--after all, [[ExactWords Tink didn't say anything about killing Peter without touching him.]]
486* WeCanRuleTogether: He invites Wendy and the boys to either join him or WalkThePlank.
487* WickedCultured: Subverted compared to the book version. In the book, he was a refined, well-dressed, well-schooled gentleman nearly obsessed with "good form" (to the point where much of his envy of Peter, and even ''Smee'', is that they show better form than he does). Here, while he's still well-dressed, he's so fed up with Peter Pan and everything that he yells "blast good form!" and spends more time being angry and over-the-top than showing any form of cultural inclination.
488* WouldHurtAChild: Duh. He regularly attempts to kill Peter Pan and doesn't hesitate to do the same with other kids.

495
496Captain Hook's boatswain or first mate (depending on the version) and BumblingSidekick. The nicest pirate in the Jolly Roger's crew.
497----
498* AffablyEvil: Although he never objected to Captain Hook's actions, it's clear that Mr. Smee is considerably less evil than his boss, being more of a PunchClockVillain.
499* AlcoholHic: In one scene, Smee is shown drinking from a bottle of liquor and gets hilariously sloshed, his slurred speech peppered with hiccups.
500* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He is bullied by all the other pirates for his chipper attitude.
501* AntiVillain: To the point where he's only a "villain" because he's on Captain Hook's side.
502* BumblingSidekick: Loyal to Hook but also very bumbling and incompetent, much to Hook's annoyance.
503* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: It's not obvious, but he has his moments. For example, his reaction to the crew threatening him is to stick his tongue out and resume the business of shaving his captain. He also shoos the crocodile away politely with his foot, rows like mad to save Hook from the reptile, and captures Tinker Bell in a surprise ambush.
504* DependingOnTheWriter: He's either Hook's boatswain (like in the novel) or first mate (like many Disney adaptations). It should be noted that even the Disney adaptations aren't consistent with the original Disney film having Smee make reference to the first mate as a completely different person altogether. In the original novel Gentleman Starkey is the first mate and while he does appear in the Disney film, his exact position is never stated and ends up being a case of AllThereInTheManual.
505* TheDragon: To Hook.
506* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He starts crying when Wendy sings a song about motherly love and lifts up his shirt to unveil his "Mother" tattoo.
507* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He is Hook's first mate and trusted assistant, but the other pirates don't seem to like him that much.
508* LovableCoward: Often seen fleeing the Jolly Roger in a longboat.
509* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The original book goes into great detail about how pathetic-but-lovable he is.
510* MoralityPet: {{Downplayed}}. Smee is the only one Hook can be genuinely friendly around, but he gets abused by the guy just as often.
511* NiceGuy: In spite of serving a feared captain, and a crew of brutal pirates, Mr. Smee is, ultimately, a kind-hearted character. Though he makes attempts to perform villainous acts, his gentle nature often gets in the way of this; his ultimate agenda usually focusing around keeping peace and some form of stability within Captain Hook's life.
512* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In the original Disney movie, his voice actor Bill Thompson occasionally tries to pronounce the odd word with an Irish accent. It's not exactly convincing, so it's hardly surprising that Creator/JeffBennett, who voices Smee in modern Disney productions (including ''Return to Neverland''), [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent completely drops this]] and makes Smee an all-out American.
513%%* {{Pirate}}
514* PunchClockVillain: While there's no doubt he could kill the Lost Boys if he wanted and slaps them around, none of them can actually take him seriously as a threat and find him lovable. Since Smee ''wants'' to be a real villain, Hook actually considers it "too cruel" to tell him what children ''really'' think of him.
515* ShoutOut: His facial appearance tends to have a composite resemblance to Doc and Happy from ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''.
516* TokenGoodTeammate: Compared to Hook and the rest of the crew, he's a saint.
517* UndyingLoyalty: To Hook. He is very protective of the captain and will stay by his side no matter what happens.
518* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Downplayed, but Smee still has this common dynamic with Captain Hook; as foppish and pathetic as Hook can be, he's still capable of genuine evil, such as threatening the Lost Boys. Smee, despite being a pirate, lacks even the [[MinionWithAnFInEvil capacity for that]]; the worst thing he does is stick his tongue out in response to the bullying of his fellow pirates (which involves multiple knives and sharp objects being chucked directly at Smee). In the book, the Lost Boys find Smee's [[PokeThePoodle helpless attempts at evil]] endearing.

527Captain Hook's greatest nemesis, apart from Peter Pan. He was the crocodile who ate Hook's hand, and liked the taste so much that ever since it's been stalking Hook, hoping to eat the rest of him as well. It's easy to hear whenever he comes, though, because at one point he also ate a ticking clock -- and the sound of this clock, still ticking in the crocodile stomach, warns Hook to his presence.
528----
529* AdaptationalComicRelief: The Disney version is a goofy and cartoony NearlyNormalAnimal that's clearly no threat to anyone but Hook -- quite a change from the scary beast from the original play and novel.
530* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Tick-Tock behaves less like a crocodile and more like reptilian dog, such as having his tongue like it's panting or acting like a begging dog after being asked by Peter if he likes codfish. Even his design is soften up compared to other reptiles made by Disney, with big round eyes that gives him a more puppy-like appearance as oppose to the HellishPupils that animated crocodiles are associated with.
531* AnimalNemesis: To Captain Hook, natch. Literally to everyone else, Tick-Tock is practically harmless. It's only Hook who has to fear him. Even in stories taking place before Hook lost his hand, such as ''[[WesternAnimation/DisneyFairies The Pirate Fairy]]'', this croc finds it fun to take a bite out of Hook. Eating his hand only makes Tick-Tock want to have Hook for dinner.
532* BreakoutCharacter: The Disney version -- not to the extent of Tinker Bell, but he's made cameos and appearances in a ''lot'' of other Disney productions.
533* TheCrocIsTicking: The TropeNamer. The clock in its belly always alerts Hook to his presence.
534* TheDreaded: Captain Hook fears him more than anything else, and is frequently paralyzed with fright whenever he thinks he's nearby.
535* EveryoneHasStandards: Mr. Smee muses this when dealing with the Octopus in the sequel, saying "at least the Crocodile had manners," in reference to when after shooing the Octopus away from the ship very similarly to the first film, the Octopus's response was to spitefully squirt him with water, unlike the Crocodile, who merely sulked away until the next time.
536* GenderFlip: Is female in the novel (though this is only briefly mentioned), but is implied to be male in the Disney version, with both Peter and his theme song calling him "Mr. Crocodile".
537* HellIsThatNoise: "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..." for Captain Hook
538* NamedByTheAdaptation: Nameless in every version but the Disney one, where he's named "Tick-Tock".
539* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: TropeNamer -- his {{Leitmotif}} is the tune named, yes, "Never Smile At A Crocodile." Tick-Tock himself, however, is a ZigZagged example as his design is extremely comical (almost like a reptilian puppy) and his leitmotif is too upbeat to be actually threatening. Literally, the only person who fears Tick-Tock is Captain Hook, since he's the croc's favorite dish, with everyone else able to chat with Mr. Crocodile without fear of being attack.
540* PutOnABus: Especially ironic given its BreakoutCharacter status, the Crocodile is completely absent from the sequel, with Hook mentioning he had finally rid himself of it at some point between the films.
541* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: In ''The Pirate Fairy'', we see him when he was newly hatched. He is ''adorable''.
542* StalkerWithoutACrush: He follows Hook practically everywhere in the hopes of eating the rest of him.
543* SuperPersistentPredator: He will ''never'' stop hounding Hook until he is safely in his stomach.
544* {{Troll}}: If he can't get to Hook, then he at least enjoys frightening him, and even when trying to eat him he can pull some absurd moves to mess around with him in the process. Taken further in ''WesternAnimation/JakeAndTheNeverlandPirates'', where he will occasionally pass up an ideal chances to eat Hook in favor of just making a fool out of him and laughing about it.
545* WackySoundEffect: Tick-Tock never actually makes any crocodile sounds in the first film. No bellows, hisses, or growls. But the sound that is most associated with Tick-Tock is its metallic snapping, which fits well with the comical scenes of Hook trying to avoid the croc's jaws.

552
553The leader of Never Land's Indians.
554
555----
556* TheComicallySerious: Almost ''never'' drops that serious expression. One shot during "What Made the Red Man Red?" has him dancing up a storm Riverdance-style, without ever changing his face. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Wendy during the gathering after Tiger Lily is rescued.
557-->'''John:''' ''[translating the Chief's hand gestures]'' He says, "Peter Pan, mighty warrior, save Tiger Lily, make Big Chief heap glad."\
558'''Wendy:''' Well, he certainly doesn't ''look'' "heap glad".
559* PapaWolf: Threatens to burn the Lost Boys at the stake when he thinks they're the ones who've taken Tiger Lily.
560* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: At the end of the day, he really is, showing concern for his daughter's well-being, rewarding Peter for rescuing her, and inviting the Lost Boys to a celebratory gathering, calling them "pale-face brother[s]".

567
568The chief's daughter, often described as a princess, who is captured by the Pirates and left to drown on Marooners' Rock[[note]]or Skull Rock or the Black Castle, depending on which version you're watching[[/note]], and rescued by Peter Pan.
569----
570* AgeLift: In The book she's implied to be a young woman, since all the braves in her tribe are said to want to marry her. In the Disney film she's a child, about the same age as Peter and Wendy.
571* BettyAndVeronica: "Veronica" (defiant and mysterious) to Wendy's "Betty" (shy and demure) for Peter's "Archie". In the end, Peter doesn't end up in a relationship with either of them, as Wendy opts to go back to London and grow up, and Tiger Lily is nowhere to be seen or even mentioned, even in the sequel.
572* TheChiefsDaughter: Not only she is the daughter of the Indian Chief, she also flirts with the white Peter Pan.
573* CuteMute: In the Disney adaptation. However, she does speak once, when she lets out a brief, muffled cry for help to Peter.
574* DamselInDistress: She's captured by Hook's men and has to be rescued by Peter.
575* DefiantCaptive: Holds her own under captivity in the Disney adaptation, refusing to reveal the location of Peter's hideout to Hook even under threat of drowning.
576* AFateWorseThanDeath: Drowning is this for her, worse than fire or torture, since it means she won't get to go to "The Happy Hunting Ground," her people's afterlife.
577* IndianMaiden: Very calm despite Hook's threats and implied to be one of Peter Pan's many conquests.
578* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Of all the Indians, she's the only one who is realistically drawn, instead of the over-the-top, cartoonishly racist portrayal of the rest of the tribe.
579* OnlySaneWoman: She's the only resident of Neverland who doesn't really get involved in any crazy shenanigans, and the only female there who doesn't have a vendetta against Wendy.
580* TheStoic: She has a stoic and proud attitude.
581* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: To Wendy and Tinker Bell.
582* TheThreeFacesOfEve: The Seductress to Wendy's Wife and (book) Tinker Bell's Child.
583* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: The beautiful and seductive daughter of the ugly and intimidating Indian Chief.
584* UndyingLoyalty: She refuses to give up Peter Pan's location to Hook even when on the verge of drowning. Note that death by drowning is AFateWorseThanDeath in her culture, even worse than fire or torture, since it means she won't be able to go to her people's afterlife.
585* TheVoiceless: In the Disney adaptation, save for a half-cry for help.

587
588[[folder:Mermaids]]
589* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: 2 of each, brunettes are specifically black hair.
590* GreenEyedMonster: All of them immediately dislike Wendy for hanging out with Peter. They react by trying to force her into the water so that they can drown her, as one casually admits after Peter stops the commotion.
591* MsFanservice: Very attractive, curvy young ladies.
592* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: They look pretty standard as mermaids go: beautiful human women with fish tails. Personality-wise they are playful, but also are jealous, petty and have a malevolent streak, bullying and nearly drowning Wendy.
593* SeashellBra: Some of them wear seashells or starfish over their chest (that somehow stay in place without straps). Others simply have GodivaHair.
