Wendy DarlsonlWendy DarlinglAge: 25lFC: Amanda SeyfriedlOpen

Fairytale World: Wendy was only thirteen years old when Peter whisked her and her brothers to Neverland. She had never really thought that anything like Neverland existed and when she met the Lost Boys, she immediately felt like she should take care of them. Even though she did get hit by an arrow by them, but she didn’t really care. She also had hidden feelings for Peter. But by the time he sent her back home, she knew he never felt the same about her. So, she never looked at her window to see if he was there, never looked for any signs that he would be watching her and come back. She just gave up and went on with the rest of her life. She attended school, had feelings for other boys and never told her parents about her adventure of Neverland. But Peter always stayed in her mind and she just wished that he would come back for her.

Real World: Wendy is a twenty-five year old woman that works as a teacher at the Storybrooke School. She teaches the six grades and loves her job. She loves her whole life in general. She has her own dream home, has a horse named Penny that she rides on every day and gets to be with amazing kids most of her days. But she wishes there was one thing different about her life: a man that loves her. She just got divorced a few months before and she just wants someone that won’t cheat on her, won’t leave her for some thick bimbo. So when she met Peter, one of the cops of Storybrooke, she thought that it was her chance to have a man that was attractive, smart and from what she gathered, kind. She knows that he probably has a stunning girlfriend and that she’ll never see him again, but there’s always a chance that she’ll get lucky this time.
