Characters in Barrie's works[edit]

A number of characters appear throughout J. M. Barrie's works, including the play Peter Pan, the novel Peter and Wendy, and the novel Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.

Peter's Gang[edit]

Peter Pan[edit]

Peter Pan is a free spirited and adventurous young boy who would not grow up. He can fly, and lives on the island called Neverland. He is described as 'a lovely boy, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that ooze out of trees'.^[2] It is also stated that he still has all his baby teeth.

The Lost Boys[edit]

The Lost Boys are a gang of young boys who fell out of their prams and were not claimed by their parents, so Peter brought them to the Neverland. It is implied there has been a succession of lost boys over time, but the boys in Barrie's work are Tootles, Nibs, Curly, Slightly, and The Twins. Additional or different Lost Boys appear in sequels, prequels and adaptations.

The Pirates[edit]

Captain Hook[edit]

Captain Hook is a pirate and captain of the Jolly Roger. He is Peter Pan's archenemy and is determined to get revenge on Peter for cutting off his right hand in a battle and feeding it to a crocodile.

Pirate Crewmen[edit]

Mr. Smee: the Irish bo'sun, the only non-conformist in Hook's crew. One of two pirates to survive the final battle, and 'henceforth wandered around the world in his spectacles, making a precarious living by saying he was the only man that Jas. Hook had feared.'
Gentleman Starkey: once an usher in a public school 'and still dainty in his ways of killing'. He and Smee are the sole survivors of the final battle, although he got captured by the Piccaninnies, 'who made him nurse for all their papooses'.
Bill Jukes: used to be on the Walrus under Flint, and is heavily tattooed.
Cecco: a very handsome Italian fellow, who was said to have 'cut his name in letters of blood on the back of the governor of the prison at Gao'.
Cookson: he is said to be the brother of real-life pirate Black Murphy ('but this was never proved').
Noodler: not much is known about him, except for the fact that his hands are fixed on backwards, and he is superstitious, like all sailors.
Skylights (Morgan's Skylights): he is killed off early on in the novel 'to show Hook's method'.
Black Pirate: it is only stated that he is gigantic and has had many names that still terrify children on the banks of the Guadjo-mo.
Alf Mason: one of the pirates who was killed in mortal combat with Lean Wolf early on in the battle between the pirates and Tiger Lily's braves.
Robert Mullins: he is killed by Peter in the final battle with the pirates.
George Scourie: another casualty in the battle.
Chas. Turley ('Chay Turley' in the play): he is said 'to laugh with the wrong side of his mouth (having no other)'; another casualty in battle by the Piccaninnies.
Foggerty: an Alsatian who also died in the above battle.
Whibbles: he wears an eye patch and is the first casualty in the final battle.
Ed Teynte: the quartermaster in the novel (but not mentioned in the play), was the first killed in the last battle (instead of Whibbles).
Black Gilmour (only in play): killed in battle by the Piccaninnies.
Alan Herb (only in play): 'still remembered at Manaos for playing skittles with the mate of Switch for each other's heads'; killed in battle by the Piccaninnies.
Canary Robb (only in play): killed in the above battle.

The Fairies[edit]

Tinker Bell is a tinkerfairy, and Peter Pan's companion at the time of his adventures with Wendy Darling and her brothers. She is known for her loyalty to Peter but is very jealous of Wendy and Tiger Lily. In the original play, she is portrayed by a darting light and voiced by a tinkling bell.
Queen Mab: the queen of the fairies who live in Kensington Gardens and who teaches Peter Pan to fly, in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.

The Darling family[edit]

Wendy Moira Angela Darling is a young girl who is befriended by Peter Pan. She flies away with Peter to Neverland to be a mother to him and the Lost Boys.
John Napoleon Darling is the middle Darling child. He is named after Jack Llewelyn Davies.
Michael Nicholas Darling is the youngest of the three children in the Darling family. In an early draft of the play, the character's name was 'Alexander' or 'Alex', but was renamed after Michael Llewelyn Davies and Nicholas Llewelyn Davies, who were both born during the play's development.
George Darling: the father of Wendy, Michael, and John. He is a bank clerk and is named after George Llewelyn Davies.
Mary Darling: the mother of Wendy, John and Michael, and wife of George Darling. She is named after Mary Ansell, Barrie's wife.

Other characters[edit]

Neverland characters[edit]

Great Big Little Panther: the Chief of the Piccaninny tribe and the father of Tiger Lily.

1907 illustration of Tiger Lily by Oliver Herford.

Tiger Lily: the chief's daughter, often described as a princess (in her own right), who is captured by the Pirates and left to drown on Marooners' Rock before being rescued by Peter Pan.
Crocodile (Tick-Tock in the Disney movie): the crocodile is Hook's other nemesis and the only thing which he fears. It ate Hook's hand when Peter cut it from him in battle and craves for the rest of him. The clock swallowed by the crocodile warns Hook of its proximity. In Peter and Wendy, the crocodile is briefly referred to by the feminine pronoun 'she',^[3] a point overlooked in subsequent adaptations.
Mermaids are half woman and half fish; they live in the sea but are often seen in the Mermaids' Lagoon in Neverland. They're vain, unfriendly and care for their looks and good appearance. They can be dangerous creatures (especially at night) and dislike all humans (except Peter Pan) and act very spitefully towards Wendy.

London characters[edit]

Maimie Mannering : a little girl who is helped and befriended by Peter Pan in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, and considered to be Wendy's literary predecessor.^[4] Although enjoying Kensington Gardens and her friendship with Peter when she stays behind one day after Lock Out time, she comes to realise that her mother is very worried about her so she must return. When she grows up, she continues to think of Peter, dedicating presents and letters to him. To remember Maimie, Peter rides the imaginary goat she created for him.

Characters from other works[edit]

Steven Spielberg's Hook[edit]

The Banning family[edit]

Peter Banning is Peter Pan, grown up. When he fell in love with Moira, he abandoned his eternal youth. He was adopted by an American couple named Hank and Jane Banning, and forgot about his life as Peter Pan. He is played by Robin Williams.
Moira Banning – Moira is Wendy Darling's granddaughter and Peter Banning's wife. She is played by Caroline Goodall.
Jack Banning – Jack is Peter and Moira Banning's son and Maggie's older brother. Nearing his teen years, Jack is often frustrated by his father's repeated broken promises and absences that he turns towards Hook for a father figure. However, after watching Rufio die, he turns his back on Hook and regains his trust in Peter. Jack is played by Charlie Korsmo.
Maggie Banning – Maggie is Peter and Moira Banning's daughter and Jack's younger sister. Sweet and imaginative, she is captivated by stories of Peter Pan. Maggie is the only one who retains faith in Peter and mistrusts Hook. When she learns that her father is the famous Peter Pan, Maggie accepts him and tells Hook off, saying that he's the one who needs a mother to straighten up his bad attitude. She is played by Amber Scott.

Lost Boys[edit]

Rufio is the leader of the Lost Boys and Peter's successor who was hand-chosen by him when he chose to leave Neverland for good. He is the anti-hero for the film's first two acts, initially refusing to believe that Peter Banning is Pan grown up. After Peter regains the power of flight, the two reconcile their differences when Rufio acknowledges Peter's identity as the true Pan. Rufio fights beside him in the final battle against Hook's pirates but is slain by Hook. He dies in Peter's arms after admitting that his one wish was to have a father like Peter. He was played by Dante Basco.
Thud Butt is a member of the Lost Boys who accepts the possibility that Peter Banning may be Peter Pan from the start, and strikes up a friendship with him. At the end of the film, with Rufio having been slain by Hook, Peter chooses Thud Butt as the Lost Boys' new leader. He is played by Raushan Hammond.
The remaining Lost Boys consist of Ace (Jasen Fisher), Don't Ask (James Madio), No Nap (Ahmad Stoner), Pockets (Isaiah Robinson), Latchboy (Alex Zuckerman), Too Small (Thomas Tulak), and the twins Sooner (Brian Willis) and Later (Brett Willis).

Unlike Wendy, she is not interested in playing 'mother' for the Lost Boys and spends most of her time in Neverland just wanting to leave.
Danny: Danny is Jane's little brother. He believes entirely in his mother's stories about Peter Pan and is very similar to his uncle Michael (from the original Disney film adaptation), even to wearing footed-pajamas.
Edward: Edward is Wendy's husband and the father of Jane and Danny. He is called to serve in the British army during World War II, and returns at the end of the film. He is depicted as a warm and caring man.
Nana II: a St. Bernard owned by Jane's family who could be a descendant of the original Nana.
The Octopus: a gigantic orange octopus who replaces the Crocodile for some unknown reason as Captain Hook's enemy who wants to eat him because he enjoys his taste.
