Full Name: Margaret (Magey) Elaine Winchell-Stokes
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Likes: Reading and telling stories about Peter Pan & Neverland, and bringing them to life. Pretend playing with her children; all 10 of them! Listening to Peter play his pipes, and singing and dancing to them whenever she gets a chance. She loves to sing and dance to begin with, but it’s so much more fun when Peter accompanies her. Cooking and baking all kinds of different and wonderful things. Spending time with White Snow Dove - Tiger Lily’s and Hard To Hit's grandmother at the Indian encampment and learning different skills, i.e.; basket weaving, bead and leather working, etc. Being a mother to Peter and the lost boys. (As well as to her own, of course.) Seeing her brood thrive under her care and respecting her as their mother. This pretty much means they listen to her and mind her when she asks them to.
Peeves/Dislikes: When Peter won’t listen to her - which is often. Her daughter, Amy, being or at least trying to be as arrogant as Peter. This often results in Peter and Amy getting into fights. Hook constantly trying to capture her children, especially Peter. Hook’s harsh treatment of Billy Jukes. She’s not too fond of the pirates in general. She tolerates them whenever there’s an encounter with them
Romantic Interests: None
History: Magey is the daughter of Jane and granddaughter of Wendy. Raised with her mother’s and grandmother’s stories and adventures, Magey was looking to the forward to the day when Peter would come for her. Unfortunately, at 11 she was orphaned when her parents and all the Darlings were killed in a train wreck forcing her to live with her father’s parents, thus stripping her of her chance to ever go to Neverland. Strict people who had an overbearing sense of practicality and sensibility, they frowned on the notion of having fun and using one’s imagination; a useless need as far as they were concerned, and any mention of Peter Pan was strictly forbidden. When she was old enough, Magey moved out of her grandparent’s house and as far away from London as she could get. Settling in Boston, she met and eventually married a fellow transplanted Londonite, Nicholas Stokes. Years later, after having three children - and having never let go of her belief in Peter Pan and Neverland, Magey filled her children’s lives with Wendy and Jane’s stories; telling them the best that she could - she and her husband decided to move back to London so their children could be close to his family. About this time, Magey found out her grandparent’s had died and left her their house and inheritance. Though not to thrilled about returning to the place that had robbed her of her dreams, she knew she could bring life back to the dreary home, so they moved in. Unfortuately disaster struck again in Magey’s life and her husband and his family were killed in the same way her own family had been so long ago. Because of this she turned to her stories for solace and prayed that Peter would come and find her and her children and take them away to Neverland. Ultimately he did, and Magey is now the mother; real mother, to Peter, the lost boys and the newest additions, her daughters - the lost girls. Eventually she’s given the title “Mother Of All Neverland” by the elder faeries Shevra Di`O and Norcu Di`O.
Good Points/Attributes: She’s a good mother, doting over her brood of lost children. She makes sure they’re well fed - giving them a mixture of real and imaginary food - and they’re clean, and their clothes are all mended. She spoils them with the treats she makes and the little gifts she makes them (All those skills learned from White Snow Dove comes in handy.) She’s actively involved in their day to day play and adventures, sometimes helping plan the day’s fun and games. They all especially loves it when she sends them on a buried treasure hunt. A game she takes pride in having created. Although she does have her rules, as few as they may be, she expects her brood to follow them all, and she’s not a strict disciplinarian. She’s somehow found a way to walk the fine line between Magey-their mother and Magey-their friend.
Bad Points/Attributes: Magey is running away from a very painful past, and trying to regain a childhood she never had. Having lost two families to the same tragedy at two different times in her life, not to mention being denied her youth and not being able to enjoy growing up, and to do it without Peter Pan in her life; it was all too much for her to take. It’s all too hard for her to acknowledge and she all but refuses to accept it. As long as she doesn’t have to deal with it or the pain that accompanies it all, she believes she’ll be all right. She wants desperately to stay in Neverland now that she’s here, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she’ll never leave. Even if this means compromising her mothering skills with Peter. Knowing he’ll do as he pleases regardless of what she says, she treats him differently from the rest. She knows he brought her here, so she fears he may bring her back if he chooses to. And she doesn’t want to have to face the life she willingly and deliberately left behind.
Fashion Statement: She wears a long pale blue tunic that comes down to just below her knees. The sleeves are 3/4 and taper to just below her elbow. she always has a leather pouchhanging loosely from her waist with a needle, thread,and a pair of scissors in it. For those quick mending jobs. She usually wears dark grey leggings/pants with it, or else a long dark brown leather skirt (White Snow Dove helped her make it). She wears black shoes that lace up from the toes to above the ankle.
Physical Appearance: Magey is tall and slender with long dark brown hair which she usually wears pulled back in a loose knot, or else in a loose braid down her back. She has ocean blue eyes which sparkle with a life that is found in those who are forever young at heart.
Anything: Overall Magey’s a good mother. She tends to her brood and listens to them and helps them in any way that she can, and she loves them all unconditionally. As a result, they all love her and respect her. Other than running from her own private pain, the only problem she has is trying to figure out how to be a mother to Peter. She believes he wants her to be that role in his life, but because of the pain and anger he had buried down inside of him, he won’t let himself get close to her. Magey knows the only thing she can do is be patient, and learn to be a mother to him in his own terms.
Magey also knows about Slightly and Billy’s friendship, and sees nothing wrong with it. In fact she wishes they didn’t have to keep it a secret. Because Billy is friends with one of her boys, she looks at him as one of her own, and insists he call her Mother, “just like all my children do.” She can’t stand the way Hook treats him and there’s been more than one occasion when she has wanted to give the captain a piece of her mind. But, because Billy fears Hook’s repercussions, she doesn’t say anything. Not yet, anyway.
