10->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonMarsden (English), Creator/DamienBoisseau (European French)
11
12The leader of the Lost Boys, a boy who can fly and chose to never grew up.
13----
14* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While he's rude, obnoxious and ego-centric, he is also a genuinely nice kid who just likes to play pranks on people. This is a far cry from his book counterpart. he's also much nicer to Wendy than his Disney counterpart
15* AmbiguousInnocence: Peter has a child-like innocence... which means he can be shockingly cruel and selfish because he's too innocent to realize he's hurting others.
16* AmazonChaser: As seen by his reaction to Wendy saving him, Nibs, Slightly, and Curly at the end of Count de Chauvin, he appears to be attracted to Wendy, in part due to her bravery and courage
17* ApocalypseMaiden: The series finale, Ages of Pan shows that Peter is the male version of this trope. When he decides to grow up (and die) Neverland falls to ruin
18* BadassAdorable: He is an utterly adorable little boy who is an expert fighter
19* BigBrotherInstinct: Peter has this in spades towards his boys, especially Michael, whom he acts almost like a father towards. He also has a sibling-like relationship with the girl who lives in the moon, being protective of her and teaching her how to play games.
20* BrattyHalfPint: He's a kid with the freedom to do whatever he wants, so naturally this is the outcome.
21* BullyingADragon: Peter has a ''bad'' habit of routinely provoking the most fearsome and dangerous creatures or people in Neverland just for fun. Indeed, his ongoing feud with Captain Hook is basically rooted in the fact that Peter has decided it's a great game to provoke and prank the pirate captain, no matter how much danger this could get him and the rest of the Lost Boys in.
22* DramaQueen: If something doesn't go exactly his way, he absolutely explodes, throwing tantrums and sulking. In Demise of Hook, he kicked an entire stack of dishes over, because Hook had supposedly died, leaving him with no one to annoy.
23* FisherKing: Pan and Neverland are deeply tied to each other in some mystical fashion. When Pan foolishly decides to grow up, Neverland starts to collapse into ruins.
24* ForgetfulJones: He has the memory of a goldfish to the point that it has become a RunningGag.
25* FriendlyEnemy: While and Hook are sworn enemies, Peter seems to like the Captain enough to be upset at his death. Hook does not share the sentiment
26* GeniusDitz: An accomplished sword fighter and seems to be talented at playing the flute, but is a complete idiot in every other department
27* IKissYourHand: Does this to Wendy at the end of Count De Chauvin, after the latter rescues him and his friends
28* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: An arrogant, bossy, obnoxious pre-teen with an ego bigger than Neverland itself, who will fight to protect the ones he loves without hesitation
29* PragmaticHero: A rare moment of this when the Croc is hypnotized and at their mercy, Peter's first thought is to kill the man-eater where she stands without hesitation. Sadly he's informed that they need the Croc for Michael to overcome his nightmares.
30* PuppyLove: He has a very obvious crush on Wendy which she seems to not notice

33[[folder:Wendy Darling]]
34[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wendy_3.png]]
35%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
36->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristinaLange
37
38The only female member of the Lost Boys and the oldest of the Darling siblings. Chosen to act as a surrogate mother to the whole team. She tries her best to act as Peter Pan's moral compass, but not always successfully.
39----
40* AdaptationDyeJob: In the original story and most adaptations, Wendy is a blonde. Here she has black hair.
41* ImpliedLoveInterest: She's often referred to as "Pan's beloved, Wendy" by Captain Hook, implying that Peter possibly sees her as more than a friend.
42* LittleMissBadass: In the episode, Count de Chauvin, Wendy demonstrates her skills as a swordsman and she's able to beat Peter effortlessly when on equal footing
43* ObliviousToLove: Subtly, but she seems to have no idea that Peter is blatantly crushing on her.
44* ProperTightsWithSkirt: She wears white stockings under her dress
45* TeamMom: Her official role in the group
46* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only human girl in Peter Pan's group, not counting the fairy Tinkerbell.
47* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Even given that she was chosen to be the Lost Boys' surrogate mother, she's still incredibly mature and level-headed for her age.
48* WomenAreWiser: Invoked; she was recruited because it was believed that a girl would add a level of thoughtfulness and common sense to the Lost Boys that the boys themselves lacked.

51[[folder:John Darling]]
52[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/john_48.png]]
53%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
54->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JackLynch
55
56The middle of the three Darling siblings, John tries to simultaneously enjoy being a kid surrounded by other kids whilst also enjoying the status he can evoke by being the most mature and learned of them all.
57----
58* WiseBeyondTheirYears: John is the second-most mature-acting of the Lost Boys and his age means he knows more about the way grownups act and think than anyone else in the den.

62[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michael_4.png]]
63%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
64->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WhitHertford
65
66The youngest of the Darling siblings, and of the Lost Boys as a whole.
67----
68* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Zigzagged. As the youngest child in the Lost Boys, he's not exactly the most capable of the Lost Boys in contributing to things, but he usually tries to act responsibly and not get in the way. As a result, while the Lost Boys clearly view him as their little brother, they don't usually find him annoying.
69* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest and youngest-looking Darling family member and Lost Boy overall.
70[[/folder]]

72[[folder:Tinkerbell]]
73[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tinkerbell.jpg]]
74%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
75->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DebiDerryberry
76
77A small female fairy who has been Peter Pan's companion far longer than any other Lost Boy. She often tries to be the voice of reason, and is the resident expert on Neverland's magic and history, but is often overridden by her rambunctious ward.
78----
79* AbledInTheAdaptation: Tinkerbell is a mute in J.M. Barrie's original story and most adaptations, communicating via tinkling of bells. Here, she can talk.
80* FieryRedhead: She's a redhead, and she can be rambunctious.
81* GreenEyedMonster: Her jealousy of Wendy is commonly remarked upon, if not the cause of an episode's trouble.
82[[/folder]]

88
89The second in command of the Lost Boys after Peter Pan.
90----
91* BearyFriendly: He wears a bear-shaped headdress, if it's not [[NemeanSkinning bear skin outright]].
92* NumberTwo: He has the most authority on the Lost Boys outside of Peter.

95[[folder:Slightly]]

99
100An older Lost Boy visually distinguished by his parrot's head cap.
101----
102* MeaningfulName: He is named after his VerbalTic, always saying "slightly".
103* VerbalTic: Has a tendency to constantly interject the verb "slightly" into his sentences, from which he derives his name.

117[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twins_3.jpg]]
118%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
119->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AaronLohr (tall twin), Creator/MichaelBacall (short twin)
120
121Two young boys, one Caucasian and one African, who are regarded as twin brothers by the rest of the Lost Boys.
122----
123* AllegedLookalikes: Despite the fact they're clearly different races, they're still referred to as "the Twins".
124* FinishingEachOthersSentences: To highlight their "twins" status, they constantly break up whole sentences between them, or simply speak in unison.
125* MythologyGag: Their very existence is based on a line from the original story about Peter never admitting when he doesn't know anything, and not allowing his Lost Boys to know anything that he doesn't know. So, Peter decided he wanted twins, and not understanding really what twins ''are'', he just picked two Lost Boys and declared them to be twins.
126* SingleMindedTwins: As is common for cartoon twins from the 80s, the Twins are essentially a single character, always being seen in close proximity and doing the same thing.

139!!The Pirates
140
141[[folder:Captain James Hook]]
142[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hook_7.png]]
143%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
144->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TimCurry (English), Creator/PierreHatet (European French)
145
146The ferocious and fearsome leader of the pirate crew, Hook yearns to attain two things; revenge on Peter Pan for his constant humiliation, and the return of his lost youth.
147----
148* AdaptationalBadass: Compared to the foppish, ineffectual dandy Hook of the Disney film or even to most depictions, ''this'' Hook is a whole other kettle of fish. A towering, muscular, ogre of a man with a booming bellow of a voice who can cow an entire crew of rebellious pirates with a snap of his cat-o-nine-tails and a thunderous insult.
149* AffablyEvil: Despite being a ruthless pirate, Hook can be surprisingly charming, and even makes temporary alliances with the Lost Boys at several points in the series.
150* ArbitrarySkepticism: Despite living in Neverland, which is full of fairies, magic, witches, trolls, monsters and all manner of weirdness, Hook sometimes is strangely resistant to the idea that something magical could be going on.
151* ArchEnemy: No other foe of Peter comes close to him in prominence, of course.
152* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' insult his mother. Or damage his harpsichord. It really says something about how bad one storm was that lashed Neverland during the series that the pirates were willing to risk Hook's wrath by using his harpsichord ''as an anchor''.
153* CainAndAbel: He and his brother Jasper used to be on the same pirate ship, with James serving as cabin boy and Jasper as the captain. They quarreled over James not receiving special treatment in the booty sharing for their blood relation, which resulted in James slashing open Jasper's eye and then leaving to found his own crew. In Neverland, Jasper's ghost returns, eager to kill his living brother and enslave him as a ghost pirate.
154* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Hook absolutely ''adores'' his mother. Not only is his portrait of her enshrined in his room and one of his most precious possessions, but she actually inspired him to ''become'' a pirate! Indeed, in one episode, he is temporarily convinced to abandon piracy and take up piloting airplanes when the Lost Boys trick him that she'd meant for him to become a ''pilot'' and he'd misheard her.
155* EvenEvilHasStandards: Whilst he WouldHurtAChild if he had to, he refrains from harming anyone whom he has no active quarrel with. In particular, when presented with a clear lethal shot at Peter Pan whilst the latter is at the Native American village, he deliberately avoids taking it because it would endanger the innocent women and children of the village.
156* FreudianExcuse: It's heavily implied throughout the series that Hook's resentment of Peter Pan is motivated by envying how Peter gets to enjoy an eternal carefree childhood, whilst Hook never got a similar childhood himself. Indeed, finding his "lost" childhood is a secondary goal of Hook's during his time in Neverland.
157* GeniusBruiser: He's a hulking imposing brute of a man who could probably snap most of his crew in half with his bare hook, but he's also a cunning strategist who poses a genuinely credible threat to the Lost Boys. Additionally, he's got a firm grasp on classical literature (When confronted with the Grim Reaper himself, he completes the poem that the Reaper starts to recite) and is gifted with a broad vocabulary (as his [[https://youtu.be/72_pv_82ZXQ barrage of insults]] demonstrates). On top of this he's also an accomplished harpsichord player.
158* HookHand: He's Captain '''Hook''', after all. What did you expect?
159* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Fear. The pirates chafe at their imprisonment in Neverland and would have left a ''long'' time ago if they had their way, but Hook scares them so badly that they do what he says.
160* LargeHam: A large, loud, and domineering presence ready to [[ChewingTheScenery chew the scenery]] at the drop of his magnificent hat. This version has the added bonus of being voiced by Tim Curry, who's a Patron Saint of this trope whenever it comes to voicing villains.
161* SophisticatedAsHell: Hook can go from chatting with the dignified air of an Elizabethan aristocrat to spitting antiquated curses and back again at the drop of a hat.
162->'''Peter Pan''': I resent that, Captain! Especially since I don't know what you said
163* WickedCultured: It's implied that Hook comes from an aristocratic background, and when he wants to be, he can be surprisingly cultured. He's capable of acting with formal, gentlemanly manners when it's called for, is a skilled harpsichord player (despite having a HookHand), knows alchemy, is a a proficient actor, and has an in-depth knowledge (and love of) the works of Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
164* WouldHurtAChild: Curry's Hook is like a monster out of a child's nightmare, and he is in every way a bonafide threat whose goal is to kill Peter Pan. While we never actually see Hook harm a child, the distinct impression is that he definitely would.

167[[folder:Bosun Smee]]
168[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smee.png]]
169%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
170->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EdGilbert
171
172An elderly Irish pirate who serves as Captain Hook's second in command, he may not be very smart but is the most loyal of all the pirates.
173----
174* ICallItVera: His weapon of choice is a dagger nicknamed "Johnny Corkscrew".
175* {{Oireland}}: Averted. Aside from a faint Irish accent (or possibly a Cockney one), there's nothing flamboyantly or overtly Irish about Bosun Smee.
176[[/folder]]
177
178[[folder:Robert Mullins]]
179[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mullins.png]]
180%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
181->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JackAngel
182
183A ruthless yet superstitious pirate from the American colony of Brooklyn.
184----
185* PetTheDog: Mullins actually cares quite deeply for Billy Jukes, and does his best to look out for him.
186* TheStarscream: Mullins is the crewmember who most wants to usurp Captain Hook and take over the crew.
187* WeaksauceWeakness: Mullins suffers from "landsickness", getting weak and nauseous if he spends too long on dry land.
188[[/folder]]
189
190[[folder:"Gentleman" Ignatious P. Starkey]]
191[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/starkey.jpg]]
192%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]
193
194A well-dressed and foppish English pirate who wields a rapier.
195----
196* TheDandy: It's the reason behind his nickname.
197[[/folder]]
198
199[[folder:Alf Mason]]
200
201The biggest and strongest member of the pirate crew, at least after Captain Hook himself.
202----
203* TheBrute: He's the biggest and strongest of the pirates, except maybe for Captain Hook, and even has a subtly ape-lie appearance to reinforce it.
204* HiddenDepths: During the Christmas episode, he's shown to be a skilled whittler, attempting to adorn the pirates' Christmas tree with a little hand-carved reindeer.
205[[/folder]]
206
207[[folder:Eucrates Cookson]]
208
209A fat, elderly chef whose cooking skills are reviled by his shipmates.
210----
211* FatBastard: He's a pirate, and also quite rotund.
212* LethalChef: Cookson's ineptitude at making good food is a frequent source of commentary by his crewmates. During the episode where the pirates try to fight off the GhostShip of Captain Patch, Billy Jukes tells him ''to his face'' that he's not sure whether he's more afraid of Captain Patch come to claim his soul as a damned ghost pirate, or of eating Cookson's food.
213[[/folder]]
214
215[[folder:Billy Jukes]]
216
217The youngest member of the pirate crew, who serves as the gunner for the cannon "Long Tom".
218----
219* AmbiguouslyBrown: Billy's skin is a medium shade of brown, but his race is completely ambiguous. He could be Indian, African, or possibly of mixed race.
220* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Somewhat. Most of the pirates are quite ugly, while Billy looks fairly average, aside from looking constantly tired. He is also the most reasonable and friendly of the pirates
221* BigBrotherInstinct: In 'Hook the faithful son' Billy is forced to work with the twins, and while it starts with them driving each other crazy, by the end he's gained a likeness for the kids and secretly helps them free themselves. Also occurs in 'Billy Jukes Lost Boy' with Slightly and to some extent with Peter in 'The Great Race'.
222* EmoTeen: Has the typical appearance of one.
223* RealMenWearPink: He wears a pink bandana around his neck
224* TeensAreMonsters: He's the only teenager in Neverland, besides Tiger Lily and he works with the pirates. Zigzagged in that he's shown to not actually be a bad guy personally, he's just loyal to his crew.
225** He has his moments of outright cruelty, such as his immense delight in nuking the lost boys with a missile in 'When Games Become Deadly" and his SlasherSmile when employing his grenade baseball in 'Play Ball"
226* TokenGoodTeammate: The only pirate who is halfway a decent human being...most of the time
227* Tsundere: A platonic example. Despite acting hostile towards the Lost Boys, he quickly lapses into getting along with them.
228
229[[/folder]]
230
231!!Other Denizens of Neverland
232
233[[folder:The Crocodile]]
234
235A massive female crocodile who stalks the waters around Neverland, eating anything that she can catch. She especially craves the flesh of Captain Hook, as she ate his hand when Peter Pan first cut it off.
236----
237* TheDreaded: ''Everybody'' on Neverland is afraid of her, even the Lost Boys!
238[[/folder]]
239
240[[folder:Great Big Little Panther]]
241
242The shaman and chieftain of the Native American tribe who inhabit Neverland, Great Big Little Panther is the closest thing to a positive adult figure in the setting.
243----
244* MagicalNativeAmerican: He's a Native American shaman who can work real magic. It stands out less than some examples of this trope, because Neverland is explicitly a magical land full of magical people and creatures; the Native American shaman being able to control the weather with sand paintings or divine the future through fire-gazing kind of blends right in with the flying children and fairies.
245[[/folder]]
246
247[[folder:Tiger Lily]]
248
249Great Big Little Panther's daughter.
250----
251* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: She has no romantic feelings for Peter and even views him as annoying most of the time. She is also very good friends with Wendy, who in turn has no jealousy towards her unlike in the original novel and play.
252* ActionGirl: She isn't one to back down from a challenge, seen best in the episode, The Foot Race
253* CoolBigSis: To her brother, Hard-To-Hit
254* OneOfTheKids: She sometimes joins in playing hide and seek with her little brother's friends and joins them all in a race. She also helps her brother prank Slightly.
255* ScrewThisImOuttahere: In the Never Arc, she leaves Hard to Hit with his ramblings and goes to find their father to set him straight.
256* ShortTeensTallAdults: Heavily implied to be a teenager but is still much shorter than the adults on the show, though she overtowers Wendy quite a bit. She appears to be the same height as Peter.
257* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Wendy's girly girl
258* WomenAreWiser: Much like Wendy, she's a lot more sensible than her brother and the lost boys
259[[/folder]]
260
261[[folder:Hard-to-Hit]]
262
263Great Big Little Panther's son, and would-be heir to his father's position as shaman.
264* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Drives Tiger Lily crazy most of the time
265* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Peter don't always see eye to eye but they're still good friends
266----
267
268[[/folder]]
269
270[[folder:Olook the Troll]]
271
272A local troll who can be either ally or enemy to the Lost Boys... usually an enemy.
273----
274* AllTrollsAreDifferent: He's a hulking giant whose sloping head, huge nose, and overlong arms give him a vaguely simian shape. He keeps a library full of magical books, but seems to rely on pure brute strength first and foremost.
275* HulkSpeak: He always speaks in the third-person and uses a childish syntax, as if he doesn't know all the words. He doesn't seem to be too dumb, however, and it's seemingly just the way that trolls talk.
276* ImAHumanitarian: Has tried to eat the Lost Boys more than once.
277[[/folder]]
278
279[[folder:Captain Jasper "Patch" Hook]]
280
281The ghost of Captain James Hook's elder brother, whom James Hook originally served as a cabin boy.
282----
283* CainAndAbel: He and his brother were originally on the same pirate crew, but they fell out over James' anger at not being treated specially just for their relationship. It's unknown [[NoodleIncident what happened]] between them afterwards, but when Captain Patch's ghost surfaces in Neverland, he seeks to kill his brother.
284* EyeScream: His nickname stems from the patch he wears over his right eye, which covers up that the eye was destroyed in a fight with his little brother.
285* {{Nepotism}}: Subverted. It was the fact he declared he was ''not'' going to treat James special despite their being related which led to their falling out, which came in the form of the fateful duel where James cut out his eye and then abandoned his crew.
286[[/folder]]
287
288[[folder:King Kyros]]
289
290An icy elemental who rules the Ice Caves of Neverland. Peter unwisely makes a temporary enemy of him by repeatedly stealing the gemstones from his domain.
291----
292* AnIcePerson: King Kyros can generate intense cold, snow and ice as he sees fit.
293* ElementalEmbodiment: Of ice and snow.
294* LargeAndInCharge: Kyros' ice elves are small, frozen, goblin-like creatures about the size of the Lost Boys. King Kyros' own size is a little harder to ascertain; depending on the shot he looks like anywhere from a very tall man to a full-fledged ice giant.
295* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zigzagged. On the one hand, Kyros' attempting to freeze Neverland into an endless winter is pretty much DisproportionateRetribution. On the other hand, he didn't go that far until ''after'' Peter Pan had been provoking him repeatedly, and he ended the entire mess as soon as he felt Peter had learned his lesson by giving back the gem he stole.
296* SpeakOfTheDevil: King Kyros can teleport to the side of anyone who says his name, although it's actually a little vague on if he has the choice ''not'' to do so.
297[[/folder]]
298
299[[folder:The Girl Who Lives In The Moon]]
300
301* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a sweet little girl with blonde hair
302
303* InnocentBlueEyes: She has blue eyes. much like Peter and is a naive and innocent girl
304
305* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Peter is very sibling-like. He dotes on her as an older brother would and tries to teach her how to play games and be a child. He's also very protective of her when it comes to Hook
306
307* TheDitz: She comes off as ditzy because she isn't aware of the dynamics of Neverland, having spent all her life in the moon
