# Jane — Peter and Wendy character guide

> Jane in Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** the shameless Jane

**First appearance:** 0016-xvii-when-wendy-grew-up

## Snapshot

Wendy's daughter, who inherits her mother's stories of Peter Pan and, in time, the strange adventure that goes with them.

## Who they are

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.
