Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Young Adult novella-length feminist spin on Peter Pan, featured in the short story anthology Twelve Impossible Things Before Breakfast. It deconstructs the gender roles present in the original Peter Pan with a heavy dose of metaphor.Darla is a girl who is upset at the chauvinistic undertones of the original Peter Pan. She dreams that Peter Pan spirits her away to Neverland and discovers that the hierarchy of the Lost Boys and Lost Girls is based upon oppression. With forces from both sides opposing her, she does her best to change the way that things have always been done.Written by Jane Yolen and winner of the 1998 Nebula Award.If you are looking for the television series, see Lost Girl. It should also not be confused with the graphic novel of the same title by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie, which also features Wendy Darling and is also a deconstruction of its source material but is very definitely not intended for a young adult audience.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A Kind of One | |
| Lost Girls / int_71e12a1f | comment |
A Kind of One: Invoked by the Lost Boys. Girls (who used to be completely absent from Neverland) are referred to as "Wendys" because the very first girl in Neverland is named Wendy and none of them can be bothered to remember the actual names of all the other girls. | |

Faux Affably Evil | |
| Lost Girls / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Peter Pan is a creepily Faux Affably Evil (Yolen completely takes the Hero out of Sociopathic Hero) bully who kidnaps little girls partly out of a sort of pedophilic lust, and partly to do the housework. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Lost Girls / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Darla has perfectly normal parents, but many of the Lost Girls had fathers that beat them or mothers that left them. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Lost Girls / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Wendy goes from a Silk Hiding Steel Parental Substitute to a stern matron that believes serving Peter is the best thing, and that the girls don't need to go on adventures. Wendy also did participate in some adventures in the original Peter Pan, just not a lot of them. | |
