Disney: D&D Moral Alignments Of Peter Pan Characters
D&D’s system of moral alignment is tried and true, even when it comes to the characters of Disney’s animated classic, Peter Pan!

In some ways, the 1950s remain a bit of an unappreciated decade for Disney animated feature films. While they have characters that everyone probably recognizes, relatively few people have likely seen most of these films more than once, if they’ve seen them at all. Peter Pan is just one of those films.
However, it is definitely worth rewatching, in large part because the characters remain as endearing as they were when they first appeared on the screen. They are also surprisingly complex, and thinking about them as character classes from Dungeons and Dragons reveals layers to them that might not be visible at first glance.
10 Captain Hook – Lawful Evil
Captain Hook is the villain of the film. At some point in the past, he engaged in a fight with Peter Pan in which he lost his hand, which was then fed to the crocodile. Given that he is the captain of the pirates, he insists on a certain hierarchy, and he seems to take a particular delight in ordering around his subordinate, Mister Smee (even though, as events prove, he is also very reliant upon him). He’s a definite shoo-in for lawful evil.
9 Peter Pan – Chaotic Neutral
The titular character is, of course, the boy who never grew up. Because of this, he maintains a childlike glee and innocence that is in opposition to Wendy’s more grownup demeanor. In many ways, he is the absolute epitome of the chaotic neutral.
Though he’s the hero of the story, he is also neither good nor bad. Instead, he is very much an individualist, and he remains determined to follow his own wishes and desires, wherever they may lead.
8 Wendy – Lawful Good
As the eldest of the three Darling children, Wendy has become something of a guardian for her two young brothers Michael and John, and she tries to keep an eye on them both in their everyday lives and when they journey to Neverland. She arguably has the strongest conscience of all of the characters that appear in the film, and she is kind to everyone, regardless of how badly they treat her (most notably Tinker Bell and the mermaids). This fits her snugly into lawful good.
7 Michael – Neutral Good
The youngest of the Darlings, Michael has a sweet demeanor. But throughout the film, he shows himself to be very clumsy. Though the film doesn’t give him a lot of personality or depth (since it focuses mainly on Wendy, Peter Pan, and Tinker Bell) what the audience sees of him suggests that he is a neutral good kind of character. He doesn’t seem to bear anyone any ill-will, and he genuinely seems to care about and love his siblings.
6 Mister Smee – Neutral Evil
Mister Smee is, of course, Captain Hook’s faithful helper, the one that he turns to again and again in his attempts to thwart and ultimately destroy Peter Pan. Despite the fact that Hook is never terribly kind to him, Mister Smee is steadfastly loyal to him. As a neutral evil, he is really just sort of out for himself, and he clearly sees Hook as necessary to his own gratification. Despite the fact that Hook mistreats him, he seems to believe this servitude is in his best interest.
5 Tinker Bell – True Neutral
Tinker Bell is something of an enigma in the film. While she clearly has feelings for Peter, the viewer isn’t given a great deal of information about her background. She isn’t a terribly good character since she goes out of her way to make life miserable for Wendy, but she isn’t particularly evil or bad, either.
Her sense of what is right seems to depend more upon her feelings for Peter than on any abstract concept of right and wrong. This lands her pretty squarely in true neutral territory.
4 John – Lawful Good
The second eldest of the darling children, John stands between Michael and Wendy in terms of his emotional development. Though he is only eight, he seems to have the maturity level of someone much older. He has a clear sense of what is right and wrong and, just as importantly, he is a very organized and rigorous thinker. This allows him to take charge of the Lost Boys when they decide to fight back against the pirates. His solid moral compass and penchant for organization seem perfectly suited to a lawful good character.
3 Nana – Lawful Good
Nana is, arguably, one of the most unappreciated characters in the entire film. Though she is a dog, she also happens to be the children’s nanny. She’s tasked with keeping watch over them and making sure that they don’t get into any trouble, a fitting charge for any lawful good character. While she doesn’t always succeed in keeping the children from getting into trouble, she has to be given credit for trying, and she certainly knows right from wrong.
2 Mary Darling – Neutral Good
As the mother of the three Darling children, Mary is a kind and compassionate sort of soul, and as a neutral good character, she is very inclined to be supportive of her children (much more so than her husband). She acts as something of a mediator between the three children and their blustering, often angry father. She also makes efforts to curb some of her husband’s impulses, particularly the things that he says when he lets his temper get away from him.
1 George Darling – Lawful Evil
Voiced by the same man that did Captain Hook (noted voice actor Hans Conried), Mr. Darling is the opposite of his wife. While she is kind and compassionate and soft-spoken, he is brash and aggressive, and he insists that Wendy move out of the nursery and become a grown-up. As a result, he seems to have a firm reliance upon the hierarchies that divide children from adults, and so he expects others to behave accordingly, whether they want to or not. It might seem like a strong take, but this does ring of lawful evil personality traits.
