Background[]

History[]

Peter is a young boy who lived on the island of Never Land, in which no one grew up. One night Peter was visiting the Darling household to listen to Wendy's stories, the Darling's dog, Nana barked at the intruders and while Peter escaped, his shadow was captured. That night, Wendy discovered the shadow and stored it in her draw to prevent it from getting into trouble. The next night, Peter and Tinker Bell returned to retrieve it. When they found it, they accidentally wake up Wendy, John and Michael in the process while he is chasing it. After Wendy sews it back on, they begin to talk, during which time Wendy reveals she does not want to grow up. Peter then decides to take Wendy and her brothers to Never Land so she will never have to grow up. Once they arrive, they are attacked by Captain Hook, who assaults them with his cannon. While he distracts the pirates, Peter orders Tinker Bell to take the Darlings to safety, only to find that Tinker Bell had attempted to get rid of Wendy. Peter swoops in just in time to save Wendy, and after chastising the boys, learns that Tinker Bell was the mastermind and they had been tricked. Peter angrily tells Tink she is banished permanently, though Wendy pleads him not to be that harsh. He tells her she can come back within a week, but Tink is already gone, still believing she can never return to Peter's side. After this, Peter takes Wendy to see the mermaids of Mermaid Lagoon. While there, they spy Captain Hook and his right-hand man, Mr. Smee, with the Indian princess Tiger Lily as a captive, rowing toward Skull Rock, where they plan to interrogate her.

Peter and Wendy investigate and find that Hook is planning to learn the location of Peter's hideout. Peter then fakes Hook's voice toward Smee to convince him to free the Princess, and Peter is able to rescue Tiger Lily. Although Smee proves to be gullible, Hook catches Peter and they begin a bout of swordplay. Ultimately, Peter's ability to fly gives him the upper hand, and he escapes with Tiger Lily and Wendy. Peter then returns home with the Darlings. Peter realizes Wendy is ready to return home. Peter warns them once they grow up, they can never return. Peter really does not worry knowing they will return eventually. Unbeknownst to Peter, however, his friends are actually kidnapped by Captain Hook and his crew the moment they exit Hangman's Tree.

Peter is then a victim of Hook's newest scheme: Hook plants a bomb in Peter's home while he and Tinker Bell are inside it. While Peter has truly survived and unharmed, Tinker Bell is fatally injured and Hangman's Tree has been destroyed. While she tells Peter that Hook has Wendy and the boys and that he needs to save them, he refuses to leave her and begs her to stay alive, saying that he loves her more than anything. Together, Peter and Tinker Bell fly over to the Jolly Roger to battle the pirates. After the pirates are done with, Peter takes on Hook alone atop the ship. As Hook is about to strike Peter in the back while he is off guard, Wendy quickly warns him, Peter flies out of the way and leaving Hook to plummet into the Never Sea where he is chased away by the crocodile. Michael, John, Tinker Bell, and Wendy all celebrate Pan's victory. Peter commands Tink to cover the ship in pixie dust so that he may drop Wendy and her brothers off home to London.

Sometime after the events of the original film, Peter has decided to explore the wonders of the world beyond the Never Sea and left Jake and his crew to keep Captain Hook at bay.

Personality[]

Peter Pan acts childish and witty, which coincides with his desire to stay in Never Land and never grow up. He often performs very childish actions with wit for a good purpose, though, He is respected and loved by nearly every inhabitant of Never Land-with the exception of Captain Hook and his crew. Hook despises Peter for cutting off his hand and feeding it to Tick-Tock the Crocodile during their first battle. Ever since, Peter and Hook have been toe-to-toe, constantly battling in the hope that one would finally "walk the plank". In addition, Peter Pan does also have the ability to be serious, such as when he argues with and battles Captain Hook or comforts Jake and his crew. He is also loyal, as shown when he returns to help Jake, Izzy, and Cubby fight Hook and free Bucky.

Physical appearance[]

Because he lives in Never Land, Peter Pan never ages, and always has the appearance of a boy. He has fair skin, rosy cheeks, thick red eyebrows, brown eyes, short red hair, and pointy elf-like ears.

He wears a Robin Hood-like hat (called a bycocket) with a red feather situated on the left-hand side, and had a brown belt around his waist which usually holds his dagger.

  • Dagger-Fighting Skill: Peter Pan is very skilled with his trusty dagger, able to wield it with such skill he can fight a master swordsman, like his nemesis Captain Hook, and hold his own.
