Could Robin Hood be Peter Pan?

[Slurpeez]

While I still have hope for Baelfire to be Peter Pan, I have this growing suspicion that maybe, just maybe, Robin Hood could be adult Peter Pan. As we saw in Lacey, Robin Hood knew about fairy magic as evidenced when he knew how to use the wand to heal Maid Marian. If he hadn’t known how to use it, Rumple said the fairy wand would result in “nasty things.” Also, I think he and Marian might be realm jumpers who ended up in A Land Without Magic, where they gave birth to Tamara. Who else meets these criteria? Well, Peter Pan certainly knew a lot about fairies and used pixie dust to fly, thanks to Tinker Bell. Also, Peter Pan was certainly a realm-jumper who traveled between different lands. I may be way off on this theory, but it’s fun to consider.

It’s fun to consider, to be sure! The one issue that is sticking out for me at the start is the age. If he is Peter then he left NL sometime ago (at least 15 years to be the age he is now if we assume Peter to be roughly 15 yrs old). So why did he leave NL when he knew he would age? Peter may have left NL at various points in time, but he always returned because he’s the boy who didn’t want to grow up. So unless he fell in love with Marian at some point, decided to leave NL to be with her, stole the wand from Rumple after a Fairy told him about it, and then left EF for our world with a pregnant Marian….

You know. That’s not half bad.

This could easily tie in to Tamara being RH and Marian’s baby, and would explain why Rumple wouldn’t have used their particular brand of land jumping (I think if that wand was able to jump worlds Rumple would have been all over it). If the only lands RH and Marian travel between is EF and Neverland that would make sense. Tamara said that you can always count on a pirate to do your dirty work, and where would she have had experience with pirates except Neverland. I don’t think that Robin Hood would have been a good Pan, but I do think that being a thief in the enchanted forest might have made him a good pirate in Neverland.

A lot of people are trying to connect the fairy godmother in the Cinderella episode to Tamara and/or Robin and Marian. This could totally make sense if (and I’m about to drop a crazy, almost-no-supporting-evidence theory) Marian was the daughter of Tinkerbell or connected to her somehow. What if Robin Hood was Peter Pan? What if he fell in love with a fairy (Marian) who gave up being a fairy to be with him? What if they ran away together to another world, and another fairy (Tinkerbell) followed them and then became a fairy godmother in the new world? And what if Marian and Robin’s baby was angry at her mother for having magic and giving it up, and spent the rest of her life trying to steal magic from others so she could be the fairy she feels she should’ve been born as? (Once again, that was all crazy speculation stuff based on the idea of Robin Hood being Peter Pan.)

Don’t think this sounds crazy at all. The fact is, the more we talk about it, the more convinced I become that Tamara has to have some sort of knowledge/connection/background to FTL/NL something but has never been to FTL and doesn’t have an FTL self because she was born here and is a new story. Some loose threads that need to be tied up are: Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, Robin Hood and Marian’s baby, and story of the wand.

This spin on Peter Pan isn’t one generally being floated about, so it would fit with A&E saying they hadn’t really seen people get the connections right.
Well long as we’re tossing out the wacky ideas, maybe Marian wasn’t “sick” so much as maybe she was a fairy, so her body wasn’t handling her pregnancy well, and that was why they needed a magic wand.

That’s an interesting idea. And if she was originally a fairy, that would give more weight to the connection to the Fairy Godmother in Price of Gold as maybe a sister or other family member.
