☘ MAIN. ☘ PINTEREST. ☘ WANTED CONNECTIONS. ☘
During the Great Famine of 1879, Fiona's parents stowed her away from Silgo, Ireland to a city in America, where she would work as an indentured servant to a wealthy, pious migrant ship captain. When she wasn’t tasked with the housekeeping and cooking, she was put to work in his wife’s boutique, tailoring beautiful dresses for women living the lives she wanted. She resented going back to work for a man she loathed, particularly when he insisted that she should feel fortunate to get the opportunities (and subsequent unwanted attention) the noble sailor would give her.
She found solace in her friendship with a young boy who was born into a similar lot in life. She would sneak out to meet him on the streets every night, to laugh and play, and commiserate and comfort each other, and feel rare moments of peace and harmony in their tumultuous lives. One night, he told her he had been approached with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, from magical boy who would pluck miserable children like them out of their sad little world and bring them to enchanted land where they could live free and prosper. Fiona’s friend told her that she needed to meet the boys at the end of the piers at midnight the next day so they could leave their sad, scary city and never look back.
Unfortunately, Fiona wouldn’t make it to the pier. After finding out that she had been sneaking out every night to frolic with local paupers, her employer had new lockdown measures put in place to stop her from making herself drowsy on the job the next day. She was left behind, never to see her friend again. Unsure of any other way to contact a mysterious floating boy, she developed a fixation on occultism and pursued any information on The Mystical Floating Devil-Boy, smuggling books on esotericism and alchemy into her master’s manor to read by candlelight while she was locked up at night. After nearly three years of fervently digging deeper and deeper into old magics and experimenting with rituals, her raw willpower was strong enough to make contact with Neverland. Peter, amused and impressed by her enthusiasm, took her in as a promising potential mother for the Lost Boys.
The Lost Boys were baffled to see the stars align in such a way that she stumbled upon the tomes she needed to reach Peter, at a time where he was in a good enough mood to bring her in, or perhaps desperate enough to find his new Wendy that he would take in someone who came across as meek and priggishly as she did. They dubbed her Lucky, and she was too happy to be there to even find the name patronizing. She thrived there for as long as she could, acting as a homemaker and a cheerful playmate to the boys, and a doting, loving devotee to Peter, the boy who became her religion. But as a girl who always wanted a life of elegance and serenity, she was a complete prude about the violence. Peter, in denial that he had picked another failure to replace Wendy, insisted that she was not, in fact, a killjoy, and would prove it by killing a pirate during their next raid. She’s haunted by what she felt pressured to do the next time she was on the Jolly Roger, but not as haunted as she still is by the look Peter gave her during his declaration that she would do it. It was the moment that made her realize that her messiah wasn’t as benevolent as she believed.
The doubt in her heart came to a head during a game of Battle. As her old friend was chosen to fight to the death with one of their own, she was fully confronted with what Peter and the island had done to his humanity. The boy who used to be her only comfort in the world was turned into a cold-blooded savage, and she couldn’t bear to watch him mangle the other child. When she cried out for them to stop, Peter was red in the face with frustration and embarrassment, forced to finally accept in front of all of his Lost Boys that he’d chosen yet another disappointment. In response to her protests, he changed the rules of the Battle to be Boys vs. Girls, and Lucky ran for her life. Under the full moon, she was chased to the lagoon and left to the mercy of the merfolk, where Peter called for the mermaids to dispose of her. In a stroke of insane serendipity, a band of pirates happened to be passing through in time to witness the disaster unfolding, and they saved her from her sharp, watery grave. The captain and two of his oldest pirates, familiar with the way children can be manipulated to do horrible things and then thrown aside by their cruel leader, took pity on her and helped her board the ship.
Now, Fiona is the newest refugee on the Jolly Roger, with a large target on her head courtesy of the merfolk who feel they have unfinished business with her, the small folk who have a vendetta against all pirates, the pirates who are still struggling to trust her after what she has recently done to one of their crewmates in her time as a Lost Boy, and the Lost Boys themselves, who see her as a no-good traitor.
Just her luck.

MORE ABOUT FIONA (stuff that got cut from the bio because it’s already way too long).
Fiona isn’t much of a fighter. She carries her weight the best she can, though. Utilizing her thriftiness to gather supplies and ingredients to cook relatively nutritious and tasteful meals, repairing garments and sails with the skills she gained from her work as a seamstress, and attempting to keep the quarters of gruff pirates tidy - or even pretty, when she can find some flowers to decorate with. There’s a cruel irony in the way she’ll never fully escape the duties she had as an indentured servant working as a tailor and keeping the master’s house tidy and his stomach full, but at least her experience makes her useful, and she’s doing the work on her own terms these days.
She resents the nickname “Lucky,” but it’s the only name the Lost Boys and their allies know her by. Most of them refuse to acknowledge that she’s using her boring old name from The Other Place, these days.
She doesn’t like wearing trousers. She came to Neverland with the dream that she could leave her life as a shlubby workhorse behind, and she hasn’t given up on that. Since her days as a Lost Boy, she’s braided flowers into her hair and made jewelry out of anything she could get her hands on. She fashions her pirate garb into skirts and bows to feel more like a fair lady, and she tries to adorn her drab leather gear and work rags with ribbons and pretty objects she’s found on the beaches. She’s determined to feel lavish and willing to trip and fall and die trying.
Fiona doesn’t remember her family name, or much of her family at all. She was so quick to give Peter her heart and soul upon arrival, her memories from The Other Place faded away faster than most. The only reason she remembered her first name was because her old friend would sometimes call her by her real name when they were talking in private. (Maybe he was the more reluctant of the two to buy into Peter’s world in their first year or two in Neverland, but now the roles have, obviously, reversed.) She’s grateful that she was able to give the Jolly Roger her more human name when she joined their ranks, to separate herself from that terrible changeling Lucky who wreaked havoc on their crew.
Though her loyalty is currently with the pirates, she doesn’t plan to be a permanent member of their crew. Her current goal is to shake her old friend out of Peter’s control and leave Neverland forever. She doesn’t know where they’re going to run off to, but she knows that anywhere would be safer than this island.
She originally grew up in Silgo, Ireland, and her parents sent her away to America during the Great Famine of 1879 to make a better life for herself (and have one less mouth to feed). She remembers very little about this, but it comes back to her during the harsh food shortages on the island.
ON THE JOLLY ROGER.
She still compiles books on occultism from visiting pirate ships, who are usually happy to be rid of them, as well as any other cursed objects that may have brought them to an ungodly hell like Neverland. Could her research really give her any power in Neverland? Uncertain. She should probably just grow up and learn how to shoot a gun. But sharpshooting and swordsmanship haven’t done much to give the pirates any control over their situation, only a way to survive it. Frantic to find any kind of an edge, she’s keeping her nose in her books, probing veterans like Hook, Nod, and Charlie about the island’s lore to become a Neverlandian historian, sampling and experimenting with local flora, and trying to make sense of the small folk’s blood magic. She’s really pushing her luck with Bill Jukes, though. It’s one thing to be a little lass on a pirates ship, but to practice witchcraft on the ship? While being a redhead? She may have another pirate’s blood on her hands after giving Ol’ Jukesy a stroke.
She’s developed a sisterly bond with Anna. They have opposite lives, where Fiona left her grimy servant life behind to become the princess of a fantasy land, and Anna gave away a world of privilege to live as a rugged pirate. Anna may be annoyed by Fiona’s tendency to be a pretentious and materialistic wanna-be social climber, but she still sees a relatable humanity in her. Anna was quick to register the parallels between Fiona’s relationship with Peter and the relationship Anna had with Bowen the Bloody, and she’s doing her best to help Fiona through the aftermath of her affair with him. She empathizes enough to even indulge Fiona when she begs her to help to fulfill her dreams of learning how to dance. She’s constantly bothering Anna to watch her balance ratty, waterlogged books on her head, and asking for constructive feedback on her dainty, regal wave and curtsy.
I think she would have similar relationship options with Isadora, who would be kindred with her as a former Lost Boy, but may see her as much weaker. I think Fiona wasn’t as good at meshing with the savagery of the Lost Boys as Isa was. If I had to guess, I feel like her relationship with Anna might be more amiable and her relationship with Isadora would be more strained. She definitely needs to earn both of their respect, but I suspect Isadora would be less open to her, especially if she picks up on the fact that a part of Fiona is still devoted to Peter.
She tries to be as close to Canary Robb as she can, because she’s constantly trying to drag him along with her to forage for food and get a better understanding on what she can string together into meals for the crew (and maybe ask if this specific ornamental plant is poisonous in some way or carrying microscopic bugs she wouldn’t want to crawl on her head because she may or may not want to make the odd flower crown).
WITH PETER & THE LOST BOYS.
When I was thinking about how Fiona made contact with Neverland, I was thinking that it had less to do with her fully mastering mysticism in three years, and more to do with sheer willpower. I don’t think she would be able to clearly spell out SOS with a jetty in Neverland, but I think she may poured enough of her heart and soul into her rituals to set out a little distress signal to be decoded. I had the idea that she may have a long history of really loving ladybugs all of her life, maybe always making wishes on them and wishing she could fly away and live in lush meadows like them. Maybe her efforts to contact Neverland manifested in an infestation of ladybugs progressively swarming the island, until Fiona’s friend voiced that he used to know a person who was obsessed with ladybugs, and that might be a sign that someone from the Other Place is trying to reach them.
Though she would never voice it, Fiona is struggling with lingering feelings of gratitude and idol worship towards Peter. No matter how much she’s seen of his true nature, she can’t just let go of her years spent seeing him as her savior, her ticket out of a horrible life, and her noble leader who gave her so much freedom and prosperity.
Honestly, she got attached to all of the Lost Boys, and is really struggling with the rejection, even if she knew towards the end of her tenure that there was tension between herself and most of them. She was happy to have an entire family to laugh and play with. She used to make clothes and accessories for them based on their personalities and stitch and embroider secret messages and symbols into the seams.
She used to be very friendly and inquisitive to the Small Folk, akin to Nod’s relationship with the mermaids. She grew very close to a couple of them, and would questions about their magic and culture. She liked to spend time with them simply searching around the island for anything they could use to craft with. After being a compassionate person to the plight of the small folk, it’s a huge slap in the face to them that she turned around and sided with their mortal enemies.

PINTEREST!
FULL WRITE-UP FOR THE WANTED CONNECTION. (I have a friend who may be taking this up!! So I won’t put it on the full WC page yet.)
Fiona’s old friend from her home city in late 19th century America (left the city itself up for discussion with whoever takes this WC!). I left his background as just “Ambiguously Poor Boy.” Theoretically, you could probably fit him into one of the skeletons with vague backstories like Bones or Rufio. He could have been an indentured servant like Fiona (potentially working under the same sailor), a street urchin, an orphan, or anything else that would make him downtrodden and hanging out in alleyways at night to chat with other plucky poor kids. The long story short is that their little evening meetups were kind of a carefree, peaceful escape from their stressful lives and the only thing that kept Fiona going during grueling work hours was just looking forward to the next time she got to commiserate and laugh and dance and play with her one and only buddy. We can plot the details and really develop their pre-Neverland friendship to make their current status extra heartbreaking <3
He is the reason she came to Neverland, and the reason she’s still here. The circumstances of how Peter took him away are mostly up to you. He could have come from a little band of teenage thieves or something like that, who were told by Peter to gather up their ranks meet him at the pier the following night, or he could have been approached personally by Peter, and asked Peter to wait one night so he could get his friend in on the trip to Neverland too, promising that this friend would be a great fit, too. Whatever route you go with, the boy told Fiona about the magical flying boy who would save them from their plights and bring them to a fantastical world called Neverland, and told her to meet him somewhere the next night. Fiona would know that he left through magical means, but she wouldn’t be able to make it to the rendezvous point because of a complication with her employer: new lockdown measures in the manor were put in place after he found out she’d been sneaking out at night to frolic with local paupers and would be drowsy on the job the next day. She would become obsessed with reuniting with him in Neverland, to the point of getting invested in late 19th-century occultism and smuggling forbidden books into the house for the next couple of years to find a way to contact him and Peter to come take her with them.
The boy would have been in Neverland for two or three years before Fiona Lucky was brought aboard to be the newest contestant on Neverland’s Next Top Wendy. Over the course of her joining the ranks as a Lost Boy, she would watch as her kind, compassionate friend became less and less recognizable. He may have been slightly reluctant to embrace Neverland’s savagery until after his final desire of having his best friend there was fulfilled? Up to you. Either way, she tried to play along and keep up with the brutality for as long as she could, maiming pirates and setting fires to their camps. The point that broke Fiona was when she was pressured to killed a pirate to prove that she was truly one of Peter’s boys. Fiona doesn’t have a lot of meat on her bones or the fighting chops to hold her own against one of Hook’s men, so I’m wondering if maybe she needed her friend’s help to do this. 👀 I never went into details on how she did it, only that she did it (or at least, got credit for doing it). If he helped her, it would be a moment where she realized just how cold-blooded he had become, but it would also be proof to her that he still had enough humanity to help her keep her place on the island.
The only reason Fiona hasn’t taken the chance to hop onto a passing pirate ship and escape Neverland forever is because she’s determined to break him out of Peter’s influence and take him with her so they can get a fresh start somewhere else. So the only things I would say you really need to maintain is that he’s ferocious and cruel enough that Fiona was shocked by his lack of humanity, and not interested in Fiona trying to snap him out of it.
A fun long-term plot would be if he does eventually become disillusioned with Peter and come around to the idea of fleeing Neverland with Fiona, but as he’s having his redemption arc, Fiona devolves back into her infatuation with Peter and doesn’t want to leave, and suddenly he’s the one that has to bring her to her senses so they can leave. We can discuss more though.
FC Suggestions could include: Dylan Arnold, Brandon Larracuente, Nick Robinson, Toby Regbo, Archie Renaux, Tom Holland, Mark McKenna, Owen Teague, Owen Campbell, Felix Mallard, Hunter Doohan, Justice Smith, Jonathan Daviss, Alex Hogh Anderssen, Marco Ilso, Xolo Mariduena, Joe Keery, Austin Abrams, Chay Suede, Charlie Gillespie, Charlie Tahan, Jannis Niewohner, Ashton Sanders, Henry Zaga, Bjorn Mosten, Will Poulter, Dominic Fike, Lorenzo Zurzolo, Tanner Buchanan, Niko Terho, Bright Vachirawit, Benjamin Wadsworth, Thomas Doherty, Rory Culkin, Charlie Plummer, Froy Gutierrez. Literally anybody. I’m just naming every male FC that I can think of that is vaguely in Anya Taylor-Joy’s age range.
I coded this character as masc just because I thought it would make more sense that Pan recruited him and not Fiona at the time. If you wanted to make the character femme, we could say that this character was another potential Wendy replacement who lasted long enough to become a Lost Boy, I just wasn’t sure if that makes for too many girls with the same background (Isadora, Echo, Lucy, Fiona, etc).
