Wendy Darling is the eldest of the Darling family. She was John and Michael's older sister. She tells stories about Peter Pan and Neverland. She has a crush on Peter Pan and he and his fairy friend, Tinker Bell, took her, John, and Michael to Neverland.
Wendy is an English girl living in London during the Edwardian era in 1904. While her age isn't specified, she is usually portrayed as a preteen on the brink of adolescence. 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.
Being the eldest child and only daughter of a middle-class family of the era, Wendy served as a heavy influence on John and Michael, specifically in regard to their love of Peter Pan and his lore. 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. To most people (George, for instance), he and the stories surrounding him were nothing more than a childish fantasy. 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.
