Peter: The Bossy One Who Earned It
Let’s start with Peter, the oldest. He tries so hard to be the “man of the house,” it’s honestly adorable. Remember when he gets that sword and shield from Father Christmas? He immediately starts acting like a tiny, armored CEO.
He’s the guy who yells “Get behind me!” while secretly hoping he doesn’t mess up. But you know what? He actually does become High King, which is a pretty solid glow-up from “kid who forgot his handkerchief.”
Susan: The Mom Friend (Who Gets a Raw Deal)
Now, Susan. Oh, Susan. She’s the practical one, the voice of reason. She’s the one who says, “Maybe we shouldn’t trust a talking beaver?” Which is wildly sensible, by the way.
She gets a bow and arrows and is immediately like, “Cool, but can we go home now?” She’s the friend who packs snacks for a road trip, and honestly, we need her. Later books do her dirty, but let’s be real—in this story, she’s the MVP of keeping everyone alive.
Edmund: The Ultimate Redemption Arc
Oh, Edmund. The little traitor! Let’s be honest, we all have a moment where we want to scream at him. Turkish Delight? That’s what you sell your family out for? Dude, it’s not even real chocolate.
But his arc is the best. He goes from whiny brat to King Edmund the Just. That’s character growth you can set a watch to. Plus, he breaks the Witch’s wand in the final battle, which is the ultimate “I’m sorry I was a jerk” move.
Lucy: The Believer (And Our Spirit Animal)
And then there’s Lucy. The youngest. The brave one. The one who actually walks into the wardrobe first. Can you imagine the courage it took to just follow a faun into a snowy forest? She’s basically a tiny, fearless detective.
The Lion The Witch And Wardrobe Characters
She’s the heart of the group. She trusts Aslan without question, and she forgives Edmund before anyone else does. Lucy is the friend who says “Let’s go on an adventure!” and then actually does it. We should all be a little more Lucy.
