Characters of Peter Pan
Peter Pan is a boy
who refuses to grow up. He can fly, and has an
apparently unique connection to the magical realm of
Neverland.
Captain James Hook from PPs Neverlais a
pirate, and Peter Pan's greatest adversary. He
swears revenge on Peter for cutting off his hand and
feeding it to a giant crocodile.
Skylights (Morgan's Skylights) Appears
only briefly in the book, immediately being killed
by Hook for accidentally bumping against him and
ruffling his lace collar.
Fireflyer A silly blue fairy born out of a
baby's first laugh in Peter Pan in Scarlet.
Like most fairies he's conceited and self-centered,
but he's a devoted friend to the lost boy
Slightly.
Tootles This is fine with the young
female Tootles, who dreams of becoming a princess
and a nurse; she would also love to marry Peter, and
become Tootles Pan.
Tinker Bell is a
fairy, and a companion to Peter Pan at the time
of his adventures with Wendy Darling. Tink follows
Peter but is very jealous of Wendy, and wants to get
rid of her.
Tiger Lily is the
princess of the Piccaninny Tribe of Indians (Native
Americans) living on the island of
Neverland. Tiger Lily is nearly killed by
Captain Hook when she is seen boarding the
Jolly Roger with a knife in her mouth, but Peter
saves her. In the earlier versions of Peter Pan, it
is assumed that she disapproves of Wendy and even
Tinker Bell at one point because of her envy.
In the Disney version Tiger Lily is kidnapped by
Captain Hook and Smee. Hook threatens to kill her if
she does not tell him Peter's hiding place. She
remains silent, as she does through the whole movie,
refusing to betray Peter. She is saved by Peter and
he takes her to her tribe. During the celebration of
her return, Tiger Lily shows her affection towards
Peter. At first, Peter watches Tiger Lily dance,
then Tiger Lily jumps down and gives Peter a kiss.
This turns Peter bright red. Then they dance
together, which makes Wendy very jealous.
Molly Aster is one of the main characters
of the three
Starcatchers novels. She has striking green
eyes and golden brown hair. She is the daughter of
famous Starcatcher Leonard Aster and his wife,
Louise Aster, and is therefore a Starcatcher by
blood and very wealthy. She is very headstrong and
stubborn. She constantly squabbles with friends and
even her father, whom she respects and admires. She
is also very brave and thoughtful, and seems to have
a good grasp on her inherited Starcatcher powers.
She wears a locket filled with Starstuff at all
times.
She has a romantic attraction to both Peter and
young George Darling. She and Peter catch each
others' eye almost immediately after boarding the
ship The Never Land in
P&SC. But his decision to stay on Mollusk Island
at the end of P&SC and the arrival of George in
P&ST, combined with the fact that she is growing
older while he is not, complicates her feelings for
him. In
P&SR, she and Peter have many arguments, though
they part on good terms (with their mutual first
kiss) and she makes him promise to visit her. Her
feelings toward her childhood friend George grow
warmer after she calls on him for help in P&ST. She
responds to George's maturity compared to Peter, and
treats him with greater respect.
Her relationships with Peter, George Darling,
Tinker Bell, and the mermaids are all consistent
with her being Wendy's mother, a conclusion hinted
at but not confirmed by the authors.[1]
(It's confirmed in the forthcoming
Peter and the Sword of Mercy
[2].She is called
"Molly" rather than "Mary", however "Molly" is a
traditional
nickname for girls named "Mary".
