Tiger Lily (Peter Pan) Tiger Lily (Peter Pan) Tiger Lily is a fictional character in J. M. Barrie's play "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up", his novel based on it, and the various adaptations of them. She is the princess of the ""Piccaninny"-tribe" (Native Americans) living on the island of Neverland. She is apparently old enough to be married, but she refuses any suitors because she desires Peter Pan overall. She is jealous of Wendy and Tinker Bell. Tiger Lily is nearly killed by Captain Hook when she is seen boarding the "Jolly Roger" with a knife in her mouth, but
Peter Pan in Scarlet become children themselves. (Having only daughters, Tootles must wear a dress and becomes a girl.) Later, Peter Pan discovers Captain Hook's second-best coat. When Peter puts it on, he is transformed into a form of Captain Hook, growing long dark curls and inheriting his bad temper. Only when Peter removes the coat does he become himself again. Ravello, clad in unravelling clothes, is really Hook. When he puts on Hook's second-best coat, he is hardened and returns to the form of Captain Hook. Another theme that is stressed in the novel is "time passing where no time should have passed".
