# Nibs — Peter and Wendy character guide

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

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0002-iii-come-away-come-away

## Snapshot

The Lost Boy who leaps at Wendy's invitation to be adopted, then asks the practical question nobody else thinks to ask.

## Who they are

Nibs is one of Peter's band of Lost Boys, and the one whose cheerful nerve makes him the group's unofficial spokesman when Tinker Bell refuses to get out of bed. When Wendy offers to take them all home to be adopted, he jumps for joy and then, mid-air, wonders aloud whether their parents will find them rather a handful. That small flash of doubt is pure Nibs: eager for novelty, quick to follow Peter, yet just sensible enough to glimpse the cost of what they are leaving behind.
