Wendy is introduced as the eldest child of George and Mary Darling. In Return to Neverland, as an adult, she wears a blue dress with a white apron and blue robe as sleepwear. This attire is kept in her few appearances in Jake and the Never Land Pirates as well. In Peter Pan, she wears a blue short-sleeved nightgown with a matching blue ribbon tied into a bow that holds her ponytail and black flats. Wendy is a pretty young girl with fair skin, pink lips, light brown hair styled into a ringlet ponytail, and blue eyes.

She has grown into a caring, smart, kind, and beautiful woman. Even so, she didn't allow this revelation to destroy her wondrous imagination.Īs an adult (seen in Return to Neverland), Wendy hasn't lost her belief in Peter Pan and tells stories about him to her two children, Jane and Danny. This led her to finally accepting the fact that she will inevitably become an adult one day. During her brief time, yet life-changing experience on the island, it became a more prominent part of her character as all the adventurous events unfolded. Nevertheless, upon visiting Neverland for the first time, Wendy ironically found her maturity and motherly instincts surfacing and growing. Because of this, she grew a fear of growing up and found comfort in the stories of Peter Pan and Neverland. Though her imagination is vivid and praised by them, her storytelling was initially looked down upon by their cantankerous and serious father, George, who found her stories and childlike nature to be immature and ridiculous and voiced his desire to have her abandon her childhood as soon as possible to prepare herself for eventual adulthood. She loves to care for John and Michael and often tells the story of Peter Pan. Wendy is an imaginative, mature, and very maternal young lady.

Maia Mitchell voiced her in Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Battle for the Book. Kath Soucie voiced adult Wendy while Harriet Owen, the voice of her daughter, Jane, also voices her in Return to Never Land. Kat Cressida (the voice of the similarly-aged Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory) briefly voiced Wendy for a short period of time.

When she retired from voicing Wendy in 2005, Hynden Walch took over the role and has been Wendy's current voice actress ever since. Wendy was originally voiced by Kathryn Beaumont who also voiced Alice in Alice in Wonderland. To Wendy, John, and Michael, however, the legends of him were all too true, and his stories were used to maintain the fun and whimsy of their childhood, despite George and Mary encouraging the act of practical behavior. To most people (George, for instance), he and the stories surrounding him were nothing more than a childish fantasy. She would regularly tell them stories of his various adventures in the supposedly fictitious island of Neverland, most notably the stories of his battles with the villainous Captain Hook. Throughout her childhood, she lived with her parents, George and Mary, her younger brothers, John and Michael, and their dog, Nana, who doubled as their nursemaid.īeing the eldest child of a middle-class family of the era, Wendy served as a heavy influence on John and Michael, specifically in regards to their love of Peter Pan and his lore. While her age isn't specified, she is usually portrayed as a preteen on the brink of adolescence. Wendy is an English girl living in London during the Edwardian era.
