Michael Nicholas Darling is a character from J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, as well as its many prose, movie, and television adaptations.
Michael Darling is the youngest of the three children in the Darling family. His age is not specified, but Barrie states in Peter and Wendy that he still wears pinafores, and on his next birthday he'll start wearing shirts. In Disney's film he wears footy pajamas, and carries a small teddy bear with him, even in the dream world of Neverland.
He is quite sensitive. He looks up to his older sister Wendy and he sometimes bickers with John, his older brother.
In an early draft of the play, the character's name was "Alexander" or "Alex", but was renamed after Michael Llewelyn Davies, who was born during the play's development.
