In J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, the Neverland princess is named Tiger Lily.
Tiger Lily is associated with the Indigenous community living in Neverland and is presented as the daughter of its chief. She becomes involved in the conflict between Peter Pan and Captain Hook, including the dangerous episode at Marooners’ Rock. Her character is part of the story’s wider fantasy geography beyond the Darling children and the Lost Boys.
Modern readers and adaptations often discuss Tiger Lily critically because Barrie’s depiction reflects stereotypes and colonial-era attitudes. Disney’s 1953 film also uses imagery and songs that have been widely criticized as racist. Some later versions alter her characterization, cultural context, or role.
Despite those changes, the name Tiger Lily remains the standard name attached to Barrie’s character. It should not be confused with Tinker Bell, Peter’s fairy companion, or with later original characters created for Disney fairy stories.
