=== Peter Pan ===
[[Never Grew Up|The Boy Who Never Grew Up]] and titular character. Peter Pan is a mischeivous, unaging boy who lives in Neverland and can fly thanks to a combo of fairy dust and happy thoughts. While often an [[Small Name, Big Ego|egotistical]], arrogant and childish person, Peter is very considerate and loyal to his friends.
* [[Anti
** [[Sliding Scale of Anti
* [[Ambiguous Innocence]]: Peter is quite cruel for being a child, laughing as John and Michael Darling nearly fell to their deaths, told Wendy her mother abandoned her, and not to mention what he did to Captain Hook.
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: And this is explored rather thoroughly in the book, both the positive and negative sides to never losing your childish innocence.
Line 24:
* [[Pointy Ears]]
* [[Public Domain Character]]: Aside from the United Kingdom.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Subverted since he's so popular.
* [[The Trickster]]
* [[Vague Age]]: The only clue in the book is that he "still has all his baby teeth."
Line 51:
* [[Acting for Two]]: A common trait of Peter Pan is that actors play both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in the same performance.
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[Green
* [[Hey
* [[Hook Hand]]: The master of this trope.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Captain Hook is always dressed in his best clothes.
Line 107:
* [[Born Unlucky]]: Tootles. He misses out on more adventures than anyone else because they have a tendency to happen when he's just left the scene, and if something bad happens it generally happens to him.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Again, Tootles, though Slightly also has traces of this.
* [[The Dividual]]: The Twins are the Twindividual variety; they don't even have individual names <ref>excluding ''Peter Pan in Scarlet,'' where their names are eventually revealed to be [[Embarassing First Name|Marmaduke and Binky]]</ref> and are never seen apart. Some adaptations has them as [[Single
** To a lesser extent, the Lost Boys as a group can be said to have a Syndividual thing going on; they have their individual personalities, but it's as a ''group'' they're important, and most often they only appear as a group.
** Interestingly, the "[[Single

'''First Twin:''' Twin, I think you ought not to have dreamt that, for I didn't, and Peter may say we oughtn't to dream differently, being twins, you know. }}
Line 119:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Tootles, not surprisingly. He even grows up to be a judge.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Slightly; he's snooty and pompous but not a bad person.
* [[Know
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Tootles and Slightly share this role, which is probably why they tend to get the most individual attention.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: In some adaptations, they can have traces of this.
