Jane belongs to the grown-up world Wendy entered when she left the nursery behind, and she grows up hearing the tales her mother once lived. Her name carries the whole arc of the book: the girl who listened to stories becoming the woman who tells them, and the daughter who may yet be summoned when Peter needs a Wendy again. She matters because she closes the circle the novel opens, showing that the story does not end when childhood does.
