However, upon reaching the deck, they find Hook has decided to put his plan into action, having forced Wendy to the edge of the ship's plank. Just as Hook makes to force Wendy off of the plank, Peter returns to save Wendy, successfully moving her out of harm's way. After the group defeats Hook, Peter admits his worry that, should Wendy return home, she will grow up and forget about him. However, Sora ensures Peter that true memories always stay with us, even if we cannot always bring them up at our leisure. Wendy heartily agrees, and when she once again requests to return home, Peter gladly obliges, picking her up and flying her off into the night.

==Design==
Wendy is a considerably tall young girl around the age of twelve, with big blue eyes and curly, light-brown hair which she ties back using a blue bow. She also has bright red lips. During her adventure in Neverland, she is clad in her blue nightdress and black slippers, having been spirited away to Neverland by Peter shortly after preparing to go to bed.


==Personality==
==Personality==
Prior to her adventures in Neverland, Wendy is reluctant to leave her childhood and become an adult, despite her father's insistence to do away with her childish fantasies, most of which seem to center around stories of Peter Pan. Wendy seems to have a natural tendency to play a motherly role, taking care of her little brothers in her parents' absence and telling stories to the Lost Boys under Peter's care. Wendy is extremely smitten with Peter Pan, and at first has a rivalry of sorts with his female sidekick, Tinker Bell. However, Wendy and Tinker Bell eventually find themselves on friendly terms. By the time Wendy's visit in Neverland comes to an end, her outlook has changed on growing-up; she becomes much more willing to move on with her life, having witnessed the consequences of remaining eternally young.

Though Wendy made her Disney debut in Walt Disney's animated feature, ''{{w|Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan}}'', the character of Wendy Darling made her overall first appearance in J. M. Barrie's stage play ''Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'', and the resulting novelization ''Peter and Wendy'', published seven years later. She is also believed to be derived from the character of Maimie Mannering from ''Peter Pan'''s first story, ''Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens'', which was first seen in 1902.
Wendy first appears in Walt Disney's animated feature, ''{{w| Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan}}''. Her voice actor from this appearance, Kathryn Beaumont, returned to voice Wendy in the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts''; she also provided the voice of [[Alice]]. Transitively, Wendy's portrayal in ''Peter Pan'' was in turn based on the character of Wendy Darling in J. M. Barrie's stage play ''Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'', and the resulting novelization ''Peter and Wendy'', published seven years later. She is also believed to be derived from the character of Maimie Mannering from ''Peter Pan'''s first story, ''Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens'', which was first seen in 1902.
 
In the film, Wendy is the eldest child of the Darling family and spends her nights entertaining her brothers John and Michael with stories of Peter Pan. Their father, George, a practical man, forbids her from telling her brothers Peter Pan stories, particularly since she has come of age to the point that she will no longer stay with her brothers in the nursery. One night, Peter Pan arrives and whisks Wendy and her brothers away on an adventure in Neverland, where Wendy learns to accept that she will have to grow up someday and so must make the most of her childhood while she still can.
 
Wendy was voiced by {{w|Kathryn Beaumont}}, who reprised the role in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
